Cleaning the Microwave
Use wax paper to cover dishes, to avoid unnecessary splatters.
If oven does not have a removable glass shelf, a plate or paper towel under food cooked directly on oven floor (such as baked potatoes) keeps it cleaner.
Wipe up spills at immediately. Wash regularly with mild detergent and water and rinse and wipe dry.
Don't forget to clean around the edge of the door and door opening, to prevent soil buildup, which could prevent the door closing tightly.
Add four tablespoons lemon juice to one-cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Boil for five minutes in the microwave, allowing the steam to condense on the inside walls of the oven. Then wipe clean.
Never use abrasive pads or powders on oven.
