Microwave emits a strong chemical or plastic smell when new or after long storage

SAFETY: Ensure good ventilation in the room. If smoke or visible burning occurs, stop immediately.

• Step 1 – Pre-use cleaning:
  • Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent; dry thoroughly.
• Step 2 – Burn-in cycle:
  • Run the microwave empty on grill or convection (if available) for 10–15 minutes as recommended by SilverCrest, with the room well ventilated.
• Step 3 – Monitor:
  • Odor should diminish after a few uses. If it persists or smells like burning plastic, unplug and have the unit inspected.
