Pro Tips for Maintaining Your Bosch Microwave

Regularly Clean Seals and Gaskets: Ensure that the door seals and gaskets are free of food particles and debris. Wipe them down with a damp cloth to maintain a proper seal and prevent leaks.

Avoid Overloading the Microwave: Using excessive weight or bulky containers can lead to vibrations and noise. Always use microwave-safe dishes and avoid overloading to ensure even cooking and minimize noise.

Level the Microwave: Make sure your microwave is placed on a flat and stable surface. If it’s uneven, it can cause vibrations and unsettling noises while in operation, so adjust the feet as necessary to level it.

Inspect and Replace Damaged Parts: Regularly check for and replace any damaged components such as the turntable, roller ring, or other internal parts that can cause improper operation and noise. Ensuring everything is functioning properly will prolong the microwave’s lifespan.
