Maintenance Tips

• Wipe interior after cooling: Clean food splatters with a soft cloth and mild dish soap to prevent grease buildup and odors.
• Use steam cleaning for easy upkeep: Heat a microwave-safe bowl of water for a few minutes to loosen residue before wiping.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners: Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the stainless interior and glass surfaces.
• Clean drawer track area: Remove crumbs and debris from the sliding rails to ensure smooth opening and closing.
• Care for door & seal surfaces: Wipe sealing edges gently to maintain proper closure and heating efficiency.
• Keep control panel clean: Use a slightly damp microfiber cloth only—avoid excess moisture around electronics and touch controls.
• Maintain ventilation openings: Ensure side and rear vents stay clear for safe operation and consistent performance.
• Prevent grease buildup: Clean regularly after heavy or high-fat cooking to protect internal components and maintain efficiency.
• Dry all surfaces: Prevent streaks and moisture buildup after cleaning for a polished finish.
• Avoid running empty: Do not operate the microwave without food inside to protect the magnetron system.
