Cleaning Your Microwave
Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that can be
dicult 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.
The microwave walls have a special enamel
coating which makes cleaning very easy. Use
a soft damp cloth to wipe o any splashes or
a paper towel to mop up any spills. Wipe o
grease with a damp cloth and a little detergent.
Dry thoroughly. If grease is left to accumulate, it
can smoke and even catch re.

manner as the inside of the microwave. If grease
is left to accumulate, it can smoke and even
catch re.
Keep the inside of the door clean with a damp
cloth. Use warm soapy water for stubborn marks

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.
Use warm soapy water to clean the outside of
the microwave. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
pads or powders that could scratch the surface.
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.
Do not remove any xed parts from the
inside of your microwave during cleaning or
at any other time.
Wash the racks in warm water. Do not use very
hot water.
