Care and Maintenance

Proper care and cleaning will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your microwave oven.

Cleaning the Interior

• Wipe the interior cavity with a soft cloth and mild soap solution after each use.
• For stubborn food splatters, place a cup of water with lemon slices in the oven and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. The steam will loosen the residue, making it easier to wipe clean.
• Remove the glass turntable and wash it in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Exterior

• Wipe the exterior surfaces, including the door and control panel, with a soft, damp cloth.
• For stainless steel surfaces, use a stainless steel cleaner and polish to maintain its appearance and resist fingerprints.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
