Setup, Compatibility & Care
Place the microwave on a flat, heat-resistant surface with at least 10 cm of clearance on all sides to ensure proper ventilation. Before first use, wash the removable glass turntable and support ring in warm, soapy water. Always ensure the turntable is correctly centered on the drive coupler before switching the power on. To clean the interior, wipe down with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. If food splashes onto the walls, a bowl of water with a slice of lemon heated for 3 minutes can steam-clean the interior, making residue easier to wipe away. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners as these will damage the finish.
