The ceramic-coated interior is designed for easy cleaning and resistance to scratches and bacteria.

• After each use, wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• For stubborn stains, place a bowl of water with lemon slices inside and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. The steam will loosen food particles, making them easier to wipe away.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that could damage the ceramic coating.
