If soiling is allowed to sit for any
length of time, it may become
impossible to remove. If the
appliance is used frequently without
being cleaned, it may become very
difficult to clean.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Removing soiling
Moisture inside the microwave oven
can cause damage.
Do not use too much water on the
cloth or sponge and do not let water
or any other liquid find its way into
any internal oven openings.
Remove soiling immediately with
warm water, liquid dish soap, and a
clean sponge or a clean, damp
microfiber cloth.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
thoroughly with clean water.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
- For heavier soiling, heat a glass of
water inside the oven compartment
for 2–3 minutes until the water begins
to boil. The steam will collect on the
oven compartment walls and soften
the soiling. You will then be able to
remove the soiling (using a little dish
detergent if necessary).
- To neutralize odors in the oven
compartment, put a container of
water with some lemon juice inside
the microwave oven and heat for a
few minutes.
