Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular
care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door
from closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
cloth to avoid scratching.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can
accumulate when operating the oven at high humidity and in no way indicates microwave
leakage.
