Read more Hints and Tips View larger About your Russell Hobbs microwave Microwave 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 results Reheat 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 Mishaps To 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 Read less
