Maintenance Tips
-
Unplug Before Cleaning: Always disconnect power before cleaning the interior or exterior to prevent electrical shock.
-
Daily Wipe‑Down: Wipe the oven cavity, turntable, and door surfaces with a soft cloth and warm water + mild soap after use to remove splatters and spills.
-
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive pads, bleach, or strong chemicals inside or on the control panel, as they can damage coatings and controls.
-
Turntable Care: Remove the glass turntable and roller ring to clean with mild detergent; rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
-
Grease Filter Cleaning: If installed recirculating filters (grease filters), remove and soak them monthly in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry fully before reinstalling.
-
Charcoal Filter Replacement: For recirculating installations, replace the charcoal filter every ~6 months (or sooner with heavy use) to maintain effective odor control.
-
Keep Seals & Vents Clean: Frequently wipe door seals and ventilation openings to prevent buildup that can cause poor sealing or overheating.
-
Use Microwave‑Safe Cookware: Always use containers and wraps labeled microwave safe and avoid metal utensils or foil to prevent arcing and damage
