Microwave Oven Care and Cleaning
Care
Avoid unnecessary spatters by covering dishes, using
wax paper or paper towels when a looser cover is desired.
Use an appropriate cover for the cooking process. If oven
does not have a removable glass shelf, a plate or paper
towel under food cooked directly on oven floor (as baked
potatoes) keeps it cleaner.
Cleaning
Wipe up spills at once. Wash regularly with mild
detergent and water and rinse and wipe dry with paper
towel or clean cloth. Especially clean around edge of
door and door opening, to prevent soil buildup which
would prevent door closing tightly.
If spots seem dried on, boil water in a glass cup a
few minutes; steam should loosen soil. Leave in oven 5
minutes. Then wipe dry.
If odors, either clean the interior with a solution
of 1 tablespoon baking soda to 1 cup warm water, rinse
and dry. Or mix 1 part lemon juice to 3 parts water in a
large glass cup and boil 3-5 minutes. Let cool. Then
remove water and wipe dry.
Never use abrasive pads or powders on oven. Follow
manual directions for care.
Microwave combination ovens (with convection or
conventional heat) may have spills cook on from heat
present. Follow manual directions for cleaning.
