About your Russell Hobbs microwaveMicrowave ovens do not generate any heat themselves but instead cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the microwave stay much cooler. Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the appliance is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting through. Cleaning: Avoid using scouring pads, steel wool or other abrasives. Warm soapy water and a sponge should get rid of all moisture and food spillages. |
How to get the best cooking resultsReheat With five microwave power levels to choose from, you can ensure all your food is cooked or re-heated to the optimum temperature. Auto-Defrost This microwave has automatic defrost settings, all you have to do is input the weight of the food and the microwave selects the ideal defrost time. Auto Cook Menus The RHMM701 also features pre-programmed auto cook menus such as pizza, fish and popcorn, allowing you to cook all your favourite food at the push of a button. |
Avoiding MishapsTo avoid any microwave mishaps it is recommended to take extra care with the following: Low moisture foods (eg. cereals, bagels, dried pasta, pulses and chocolate) – These must be cooked on a low power level for a very short length of time, or preferably not at all. High sugar content foods (eg. jams, syrups) – These foods can become easily ‘super-heated’ when cooked in a microwave oven. Foods containing alcohol – Foods with an alcohol content must not be cooked in a microwave as they could ignite. Foods with a membrane or outer skin (eg. fruits, sausages, potatoes) – Food with a sealed or none porous skin must be pierced to allow pressure and steam to escape |

This is a perfect microwave oven in my opinion.We recently furnished the entire kitchen with appliances from a famous italian designer. The microwave they make (and charge £1500) is an absolute useless piece of rubbish.We decided to buy an additional one and chose this Russell Hobbs one because I previously had one, I knew it was small and easy to add to a fully equipped kitchen and it looks gorgeous. It fits in perfectly with those overpriced, good looking appliances, no different at all. Simple controls, great looking materials, no irritatating noise, not to mention a great price. 10/10 from me. Will never again fall for the designer brands gimmick.

I’m very happy and it’s working well, I’ve just had it for a week or so. It’s a nice size and I really like the cream colour and neat look.

I bought this microwave to replace my old one which had peeling paint inside. Since it’s only the 2 of us, we don’t need a huge microwave and I prefer manual models as I find them simpler to use. This one ticked all the boxes!The black and silver colour looks lovely in my kitchen and the microwave itself works very well. Very happy with my purchase!

Easy to use, didn’t want bells and whistles. Fitted into my tiny cottage kitchen. The reflective front saved it from looking like a black hole. Very happy.

I like it just having two control knobs. Time and power setting. Don’t need any complicated digital nonsense. Also, handle stead of push button to open door. I bought silver. Very nice, efficient and reasonably quiet.
