Home Solutions 

1. Use Deodorizer Mode

Microwaves with a built-in deodorizer function actively remove vapours and lingering smells after cooking. It keeps the appliance cavity fresh and prolongs the life of internal components by reducing heat and odour damage.

2. Try Oil-Free Cooking

Skip deep-frying and embrace oil-free cooking features. By reducing oil usage, there's less smoke, less grease, and almost no strong food smell. Perfect for dishes like samosas or kebabs with minimal kitchen mess.

3. Auto-Cook Menus Help

Choose pre-set auto cook menus to avoid overcooking and burning, which often causes strong odours. These smart settings adjust time and temperature to cook cleanly, without smoky or charred smells.

4. Multi-Stage Cooking

Multi-stage cooking sequences allow even heating and prevent food from sticking or burning. This reduces the chance of foul smells developing due to overdone ingredients during the process.

5. Use Stainless Cavity

Stainless steel interiors heat uniformly and resist residue build-up, making it easier to clean and preventing food smells from sticking around. They also keep odour transfer between meals to a minimum.

6. Keep Warm Feature

Instead of reheating repeatedly (which can create stale smells), use the "Keep Warm" feature to maintain the food’s temperature without reactivating strong aromas or burning anything again.

7. Use Delay Start Smartly

Using the delay or preset function, you can time your cooking when you're not around, minimising your exposure to kitchen odours. Plus, less human intervention often means fewer accidental messes.
