Cleaning Your Microwave
Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that can be
difficult to clean.
Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to completely cool down before cleaning.
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.
Treat the glass turntable 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 turntable in very hot
water, doing so could crack it.
Make sure the glass turntable is dry before you
put it back in the microwave.
11
Wash racks in warm water. Do not use very hot
water on the racks which could make them
warp.

The microwave walls have a special enamel
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. As with any, if grease is left to
accumulate, it can smoke and even catch fire.

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 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
Use warm soapy water to clean the outside of
the microwave. Do not use abrasive pads or
powders that could scratch the surface.
8
Unplug the microwave before cleaning the
power lead and the microwave.
Wipe with a damp cloth and leave to dry before
plugging it back in.
