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.

1
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. If grease
is left to accumulate, it can smoke and even
catch fire.
2
Make sure you keep the outlet grids clean.
3
Keep the front of the microwave clean so
that the door can close properly.
4
Be careful not to spill water into the vents.
5
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.
6
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.
7
Clean behind the door ledge.
8
Use warm soapy water to clean the outside
of the microwave. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, pads or powders that could scratch
the surface.
9
Unplug the microwave before cleaning the
power cord and the microwave. Wipe with a
damp cloth and leave to dry before plugging
it back in.
10
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.
11
Wash the racks in warm water. Do not use
very hot water.
Do not remove any fixed parts from
the inside of your microwave during
cleaning or at any other time.
