A microwave oven, like any other appliance in our kitchen, needs proper maintenance. After all, during the warming up or cooking food can "shoot", sprinkle and, accordingly, moss the internal surface. In this article we will tell you how to properly care for a microwave oven so that it will serve you as long as possible.
What you need to know about caring for a microwave oven
Do not forget to wipe the inside of the microwave with a damp cloth from food and grease residues. For cooking, it is better to use a glass or ceramic dish with lids. On it there should be no metal rims or handles, and painted with paint, drawing.
How to properly wash a microwave, unfortunately, not many know. For example, to remove dirt from the furnace body, you can use only a little soapy sponge, and a damp cloth. But the touch control panel can only be wiped with a lightly moistened cloth.
Do not turn on the oven in convection or grill mode, when dirt is on its internal walls, otherwise the droplets harden, and turn into brown spots that are difficult to wash. In addition, in some cases, this can even cause a deformation of the inner wall.
How to wash the microwave inside?
Before cleaning the oven, make sure that it is disconnected from the mains. Then remove the table - a plate, and wash with soapy warm water. Given that the surface of the internal walls is often enameled or ceramic, you need to use special cleaners for microwave ovens that do not contain abrasive particles, since they can damage the surface.
If the furnace chamber is made of stainless steel, care for such a microwave is much easier. It can be washed with abrasive agents, without fear of damaging the surface. In addition, such an oven is able to withstand any temperatures.
Since it is not possible to wash the microwave inside by any means, the old, universal method of combating greasy stains using lemon and water is useful right away. To do this, put a slice of lemon in a container of water, put it all in the microwave for 10-20 minutes, at full capacity. After that, the fat from the walls is removed with a usual moist napkin.
