Steps:
- 1. Wipe dry: After cooking, wipe down the interior surfaces with a dry cloth.
- 2. Leave door ajar: Leave the door slightly open for a few minutes after use to allow moisture to escape.
- 3. Check vents: Ensure external vents are not blocked and the microwave has adequate clearance.
- 4. Use covers: Cover high-moisture foods with a microwave-safe lid or cover to reduce steam.
