6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Interior Cleaning

Clean the interior of the microwave regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn food splatters, place a bowl of water with lemon slices inside and microwave for a few minutes to create steam, then wipe clean. Ensure the microwave is unplugged before cleaning.

Exterior Cleaning

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the brushed stainless steel finish.

Turntable Care

The glass turntable and roller ring can be removed for cleaning. Wash them in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back in the microwave.

7. Troubleshooting

• Microwave not starting: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the door is fully closed. Verify that the Child Lock is not activated.
• Food not heating evenly: Ensure food is placed centrally on the turntable. Stir or rotate food halfway through cooking if possible. Use microwave-safe dishes.
• Unusual noises during operation: Check if the turntable and roller ring are correctly positioned. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the microwave cavity.
• Display not working: Unplug the microwave for a few minutes, then plug it back in to reset the system. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
