Maintenance Tips

• Clean interior daily (after cooling): Wipe the stainless steel cavity, ceramic shelf, and door with a soft cloth and mild detergent to prevent grease buildup and maintain fast, consistent steaming performance.
• Clean air filter regularly: Remove the magnetic front air filter, wash and dry it frequently, and follow “clean filter” reminders to maintain airflow and protect internal components.
• Maintain clear ventilation: Ensure side and rear vents are never blocked—proper airflow is critical for the 3500W high-output system.
• Use only approved mild cleaners: Avoid ammonia, chlorine, phosphates, or abrasive chemicals that can damage stainless steel surfaces, seals, and internal electronics.
• Inspect door & seal daily: Ensure tight closure of the pull-down door and clean gasket surfaces for safe microwave containment and energy efficiency.
• Avoid running empty: Never operate without food load to prevent damage to magnetrons and ensure long equipment life.
• Use programmed settings properly: Leveraging multi-stage cooking and up to 100 programmable menus helps reduce wear and ensures consistent results.
• Schedule preventive servicing: Regular technician maintenance ensures calibration accuracy, reduces downtime, and supports long-term reliability in heavy-use kitchens.
