How to take care of microwave oven
Your microwave oven is an integral part of your kitchen and you should take proper with its handling and care. You should always avoid unnecessary spatters by covering dishes, using wax paper or paper towels when a looser cover is required. Always use proper cover for cooking in an oven. If the microwave oven does not have a removable glass shelf, use a plate or paper towel under food cooked directly on oven floor to keep it cleaner.
You should also keep your microwave oven clean. Spills can be wiped up once. You should wash your microwave oven regularly, say once or twice a week. Wash it with mild detergent and water and rinse and wipe dry with paper towel or clean cotton cloth. Clean the edges of the door and the door opening to prevent soil buildup and to avoid door closing tightly.

- You can also use a solution of lemon juice and warm water in the ration 1:3. Clean the interior of the microwave oven with this solution. Rinse and dry.
