How To

The following maintenance tasks are recommended for inspecting and cleaning of your microwave oven:

Clean inside cavity with mild detergent and water. Rinse and wipe with paper towel. If spots seem dried on, then boil water in a glass cup for a few minutes and let the steam help loosen the soiled area. Do not use a scouring pad, steel wool, or other abrasives.

Clean around the door and door seal, and make sure door closes tightly.

If your unit has a turntable, then be sure to clean underneath it.

To remove odors, boil a solution of a cup of water and several tablespoons of lemon juice in the microwave for 5-7 minutes.

Clean grease and dust from around the air vents.

Check inside light bulb, clean or replace as necessary.
