    Put a coffee mug or measuring cup with water in it. Turn microwave on high for about 5 minutes. Remove cup with put holders. The steam creates stuff to soften. Can wipe alot of stuff out. If you still have alot still stuck on, put cup back in and repeat.

    1. Bring about a cup of water to boil in the microwave.

    2. Leave the door shut and let it set for about a minute to it cool down enough so it won't explode when you move it and for the steam to soften any foodstuffs.

    3. Remove the water container and the turntable.

    4. Wet down a couple of kitchen towels in warm soapy water and proceed to wipe down the inside.

    5. When it is clean, wipe down with a clean wet towel without soap.

    6. Be sure and clean the inside of the door.


    If you have not cleaned it after every use, you may find that there is foodstuff that resists being removed...particularly in the "ceiling" area.


    This will require that you put in some time to soak this with warm dish cloths until clean.


    To keep it clean, wipe it down regularly with a damp cloth or paper towel after using!

    Put a cup of water with lemon juice in microwave, and nuke it for 2-3 minutes. Wait for another 2 minutes, then wipe all the grime away. The steam combined with lemon juice softens everything.
