Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the interior after each use with a soft damp cloth and mild soap; steaming a cup of water with lemon helps loosen residue and neutralize odors.
-
Wipe the stainless‑steel exterior and control panel with a cloth dampened with mild soap; do not spray cleaner directly on controls.
-
Remove and wash the ceramic turntable and support with warm soapy water (dishwasher safe) to maintain even heating.
-
Clean grease filters monthly: soak in hot soapy water, scrub, rinse, dry, and reinstall to keep the ventilation and fan working efficiently.
-
Keep the waveguide cover clean — wipe food splatters promptly to avoid smoke or sparks.
-
Ensure the exterior vent openings and hood filters are free of grease buildup to maintain airflow and hood performance.
-
Do not block any ventilation openings on the microwave; good airflow prevents overheating and extends lifespan.
-
If equipped with a charcoal filter for recirculating installation, replace it every 6–12 months (per usage).
