How do I clean the ELECTROLUX LMS2253TM microwave oven?
Door: To remove all traces of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals, and sealing surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers on the oven door glass as they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering.
Oven Interior: Wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Ensure mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents. Do not use spray-type cleaners on the interior. Clean the waveguide cover, oven cavity, turntable, and turntable support after use, ensuring they are dry and free from grease.
Oven Exterior: The outside can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Wipe off the soap with a moist cloth and dry the exterior with a soft towel.
Control Panel: Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it is clean. Avoid excessive water and do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaner.
Turntable and Turntable Support: Remove the turntable and support from the oven. Wash them in mild soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Both are dishwasher safe.

What are some general tips for microwave cooking with the ELECTROLUX LMS2253TM?
| Topic | Microwave cooking advice |
|---|---|
| Composition | Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. |
| Size | For even cooking make all the pieces the same size. |
| Temperature of food | The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam. |
| Arrange | Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken drumsticks). |
| Cover | Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid. |
| Pierce | Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode (e.g. potatoes, fish, chicken, sausages). IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled). |
| Stir, turn and rearrange | For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre. |
| Stand | Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout the food. |
| Shield | Warm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a chicken). |
