cleaning and maintaining your microwave oven

Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.

Cleaning the exterior

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Do not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive products or chemical solvents.

CAUTION

Cleaning the interior

Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning it to avoid injury.

CAUTION

Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.

CAUTION To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the microwave oven.

Clean the interior surfaces (oven cavity) of your microwave oven periodically to remove any splashes or stains. To remove hardened food articles and remove smells, place 2 cups of water (add lemon juice for extra freshness) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let it stand in the oven for one or two minutes.

Cleaning the door and door seals

Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven at high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

Cleaning the turntable and roller rings

Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. The turntable can safely be washed in your microwave oven.
