Safety note: Exposed rust can lead to arcing if severe. Address promptly.

Step 1 – Clean and dry: Remove loose paint and rust flakes. Clean the area with mild detergent and dry thoroughly.
Step 2 – Assess severity: Small chips can sometimes be treated with microwave-safe cavity touch-up paint (if approved by AEG). Large rusted areas may require cavity repair or replacement.
