Food splatters and residual moisture can cause odors and more difficult cleanup. Panasonic's official care instructions emphasize soft cloths, nonabrasive methods and careful cleaning around the door seal. Glass tray rules differ by model.

0 / 6 done

Switch off, unplug and allow the microwave and glass turntable to cool completely before cleaning.
If your manual permits, remove the glass plate and roller ring and discard loose food debris.
Wipe the inside with a soft slightly damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a little neutral dish detergent on the cloth and wipe gently.
Clean the edges of the door and the sealing contact surfaces with a soft cloth. Remove detergent residue without scratching any coating or seal.
Wipe the exterior and controls with a cloth only; never spray cleaner directly or allow water into vents. Avoid bleach and abrasive cleaners.
Dry all surfaces fully and replace the turntable and roller ring as instructed. Stop use and seek service if the door or seal is damaged.
