Removing Odors and Smells - Countertop Microwave

Removing Odors and Smells from the Microwave

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, ensure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow the label instructions on cleaning products. Unless otherwise noted, soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested.

Try using lemon juice or vinegar to help remove odors and/or smells from the microwave. 

  1. Thoroughly clean the microwave's interior using mild soap and water with a soft cloth or sponge, removing any food debris or spills. 
  2. Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbs (15 mL) of lemon juice or vinegar in the microwave for 2 to 5 minutes.
  3. Dry the interior with a microfiber cloth.

Is there an odor during convection and/or grill cooking?

This is normal for the first few convection and/or grill cycles. The odor will dissipate with repeated use.
