Setup, Compatibility & Care
Position the microwave on a flat, stable surface with adequate clearance for ventilation, ensuring at least 10cm of space around the sides and back to prevent overheating. Avoid blocking any vents. Before first use, wash the removable glass turntable in warm, soapy water and wipe the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
For daily care, keep the interior free of food splashes by wiping it down after each use. The glass turntable is dishwasher safe, but it can also be easily hand-washed. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the interior finish. Always ensure the door seal is clean to maintain efficient operation.
