Are there special procedures for cleaning microwaves?
Not really, but there are a few guidelines and tips that will make cleaning your microwave oven easier. Always unplug the microwave before cleaning it to reduce the chance of an electrical shock. Make it a habit to cover food items as they’re being cooked to reduce food splatter. If food has dried on the microwave’s inner walls, heat a full cup of water for 3 minutes before cleaning the microwave. The heat and humidity will make scrubbing much easier. Do not use abrasive cleaners or commercial oven cleaners on your microwave. If you must use a cleaning product on your microwave oven, we recommend a microwave specific cleaner such as Microwave Oven Magic.
