Steam cleaning
- Pour a cup of water into a deep bowl and add lemon slices (or 2 tablespoons of vinegar).
- Run the microwave on full power for 3-5 minutes until the water boils.
- Without opening the door wait 5 minutes: steam loosens the dirt.
- Carefully take the bowl out and wipe the walls, ceiling and door with a damp sponge.
- Remove the turntable and wash it by hand.
Stubborn marks
Spread a paste of baking soda and water on dried residue, leave for 10 minutes and wipe. Do not use metal scourers.
Odour
If a smell remains, put a cup of water with a spoon of soda inside, close the door and wipe the walls after a few hours.
Important
Unplug the microwave before cleaning and never run it empty, without a bowl of water.
