How to remove odor when using a new microwave for the first time

Microwave ovens are highly functional household appliances that can heat up meals and dishes very quickly. Like many other newly purchased household appliances, there will be a strong odor when you use the microwave oven for the first time. After all, it is used for cooking, and the odor definitely needs to be cleaned. But many people have tried many methods, but the results are not good. So, how do you remove odors when using a new microwave for the first time? Let’s take a look at the specific methods below.

When buying a lemon in a supermarket or fruit store, it is recommended that thrifty mothers buy discounted lemons, which are more cost-effective.

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the lemon juice using a simple juicer. It is best to squeeze out the juice from the entire lemon and place it in a small bowl for later use. This bowl must be microwave-safe.

Then add water to the bowl in a ratio of 1 to 5 lemon juice, stir the lemonade evenly with chopsticks, and put it in the microwave.

Microwave on high for 3 minutes to warm the lemon water. Remember to set the heat to high and heat the lemon juice until it boils.

After the first heating is completed, wait for one minute and then heat for another minute. During this time, the furnace door cannot be opened.

Stop heating after the second heating and let the lemon juice steam stay in the microwave for a while longer so that it can fully combine with the harmful substances in the microwave.

Finally, open the microwave and wipe it inside and out with a clean and soft cloth. You will find that those stubborn oil stains can be easily wiped off.

Notes for using a microwave oven for the first time:

1. The microwave oven should be placed in a balanced and ventilated place. There should be no less than 10 cm of space at the back and no less than 5 cm at the top to facilitate exhaust and heat dissipation. It should also be kept away from household appliances with magnetic fields to avoid affecting the cooking effect.

2. Do not put too much food in the microwave oven. It is best not to exceed 1/3 of the volume. Do not place food directly on the turntable. Place it in containers made of heat-resistant glass, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic. Do not use metal or enamel containers, and do not use containers with metallic patterns.

3. It is strictly forbidden to use a microwave oven to heat sealed foods, such as foods in bags, bottles, and cans, as well as foods with skins or shells, such as chestnuts and eggs, so as to avoid explosion and contamination or damage to the microwave oven.

4. It is strictly forbidden to use the microwave oven without load. You can prepare a cup of water (glass) in the oven at ordinary times, take it out when using, and put it back in after heating the food to avoid burning the microwave oven when it is empty.

5. When using a microwave oven, people should not lean in front of it or stay next to it. It is best to stand one meter away from the microwave oven to avoid electromagnetic radiation.

6. When heating liquid food, use a wide-mouthed container or heat it without a lid. If you use a closed container to heat the food, the heat generated by the food cannot be released and the excessive pressure can easily cause it to explode.
