HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR dishwasher

Cover Food During Heating

Always cover food with a microwave-safe lid or a paper towel before heating to prevent splatters and messy build-up inside the oven. Furthermore, make sure the cover has a vent to allow steam to escape.

Wipe Spills Immediately

Clean up spills and splatters as soon as they happen. Dried-on food is much harder to remove, so quick clean-ups significantly lower the need for deep cleaning sessions.

Regular Wipe Downs

Deep Clean With Steam

Wipe the inside of the microwave with a damp cloth at least once per week to prevent food residue from hardening and accumulating. Use a mild detergent for particularly dirty spots.

Deep Clean With Steam

Place a bowl with water and lemon slices/1 tablespoon of vinegar in the microwave and heat on high for a few minutes until the inside is steamy. Leave the door closed for 10-15 minutes to allow steam to loosen stubborn food and grime. Carefully remove the hot bowl and wipe the interior with a sponge or cloth. Remove and wash the glass tray and roller ring in a warm, soapy water or a dishwasher.
