I have a Sharp Carousel Convection/Microwave oven and I love it except for cleaning it. The inside of it is metal. I guess stainless steel. It doesn't say in my manual how to clean this. Food has spattered and it looks filthy. I have used the Magic Eraser and everything else I can think of. Also, the glass plate in it is made of a material unlike the usual microwave, kind of like a pizza pan. I can't get it clean either. Can I use oven cleaner on the inside of this oven or does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks so much!

Heat a large glass tumbler with lemon juice added to the water until water has boiled.Remove glass(taking care as the glass & contents will be extremely hot,you may need to wear gloves to protect your skin)& wipe out with a clean damp cloth.The Condensation will have loosened any food spatters, & make clean up simple. Repeat the process if your oven is not clean on the first attempt.
No one ever mentions cleaning the interior top of the microwave/convection oven where the heating elements are located! Its really hard to clean!! What do you do to get it clean???
JoAnn,
I've had two of these and neither one has ever looked clean on the inside even though I have used everything possible to clean it. Don't use oven cleaner on it as you will ruin the stainless interior. I've just learned to live with it, knowing that it's clean even if it doesn't look spotless.
Hope this helps.

yes we have replaced the same switch twice as well but it is still a good oven .I might try the vinegar as the lemon didnt work
Thanks for your comments .

EASY--Fill a large microwaveable bowl, put 1-2 TB vinegar and fill with water. Microwave for 4-5 minutes. Let sit there till cool. If it does not come off with a swipe of a dishrag, do it again.
Hey grandma j im hoping your grandma expertise helps me,i will let you know,ive tried the lemon and water-fail,im suffering with a very bad lower back,2 weeks out from a back operation so trying the less physical way,and if not and people comment on my filthy microwave,they were just to dam close and get out of my kitchen.lol
Thank you to all of you! I'll try all the tips and if they don't work I'll just learn to live with it. I know it's clean but it just doesn't look it.
Melaluca Sol-U-Mel. I cleaned off 10 years of baked on grease and grime. It took several scrubbings full strength with a well used scrub pad. The sponge with the green scrub pad on one side. Each scrubbing taking off a layer of grunge. It came out sparkling clean.
Hi guys, for cleaning the tray, use caustic soda in a laundry tub with boiling water. Leave for 5 minutes then wipe off. I too am finding it hard to clean the interior.
