How to maintain a microwave?

01Cleaning the Exterior

Start by unplugging the microwave from the power source.
Using a mild detergent, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
Remove any stubborn stains or grime with a mixture of baking soda and water.
Dry the exterior thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Pay attention to the control panel and keypad, ensuring they are free from dirt and debris.

Remove the turntable and any other removable accessories from the microwave.
Wash them with warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher if they are dishwasher-safe.
Dry the accessories thoroughly before placing them back in the microwave.

Inspect the door seal for any signs of damage or wear.
Clean the door seal with a mild detergent to remove any accumulated dirt or debris.
Ensure that the door closes properly and creates a tight seal.
If the seal is damaged, consider replacing it to prevent heat and energy loss.

Avoid using metal objects or aluminum foil in the microwave, as they can cause sparks and damage the appliance.
Use microwave-safe containers and covers to prevent food splatters and spills.
Regularly check and clean the vents to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating.
Avoid overloading the microwave with heavy or oversized food items.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for defrosting, reheating, and cooking to avoid damaging the appliance.
