cleaning your microwave

Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to completely cool down before 

cleaning.

Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that 

can be difficult to clean.
On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover. Microwaves are passed through 

this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all times. 

Wipe it with mild detergent and water and leave to dry.

The microwave walls have a special coating 

which makes cleaning very easy. Use a 

soft damp cloth to wipe off any splashes or 

a paper towel to mop up any spills. Wipe 

off grease with a damp cloth and a little 

detergent. Dry thoroughly. If grease is left to 

accumulate, it can smoke and even catch 

fire.

1

Make sure you keep the outlet grids clean.

2

Keep the front of the microwave clean so 

that the door can close properly.

3

Be careful not to spill water into the vents.

4

Do not remove the wave guide cover: It 

is important to keep the cover clean in 

the same manner as the inside of the 

microwave. If grease is left to accumulate, it 

can smoke and even catch fire.

5

Keep the inside of the door clean with a 

damp cloth. Use warm soapy water for 

stubborn marks and dry thoroughly. The 

inside of the door has a special coating and 

must not be cleaned with abrasive pads or 

cleaning powders.

6

Clean behind the door ledge.

7

Treat the glass turntable plate as you would 

any glass plate. After you have used it 

for more than 15 minutes, allow it to cool 

down before you use it again. Do not wash 

the glass turntable plate in very hot water, 

doing so could crack it. Wash the turntable 

support in warm water. Make sure the glass 

turntable plate and turntable support are dry 

before you put them back in the microwave.

10

Wipe with a damp cloth to clean the outside 

of the microwave. Do not use abrasive 

cleaners, pads or powders that could 

scratch the surface. Dry thoroughly.

8

Unplug the microwave before cleaning the 

power cord. Wipe with a damp cloth and 

leave to dry before plugging it back in.

9

Do not remove any fixed parts from 

the inside of your microwave during 

cleaning or at any other time.
