WARNING:
• Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a
material which will absorb microwave energy. This may
cause the dishes to crack or burn, and will slow down

use in a microwave oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven for heating utensils,
plates or dishes.
• Do not cook using a container with a restricted
opening, such as bottles, as they may explode.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING:
• On the right hand wall of the cavity is the wave
guide cover, microwaves are passed through this to
enable your food to cook. It is important that this
wave guide cover is kept clean at all times. To do
this wipe with mild detergent and water, then dry.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a
clean condition could lead to deterioration of the
surface that could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• You should clean the outside of the oven with a
damp cloth. Do not allow water to seep into the
ventilation openings.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
• If steam builds up inside or around the outside of the

when the microwave oven is used in humid conditions.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE
10
Thank you for purchasing your Russell Hobbs microwave oven.
The RHMD702 combines the convenience of a stylish and compact
microwave with the added functionality of a digital oven. This means your
oven will compliment any space in your kitchen, as well as facilitating a
variety of cooking needs.
First, all you need to do is pick the perfect spot on your countertop, then,
follow the simple steps for installation, and within minutes you’re ready to
start cooking.
To operate, simply use the sleek control panel with chrome accents to
choose from a number of cooking functions. If you’re in a hurry and just need
a quick reheat, the Express function is the ideal programme for you. Pressing
the ‘Express’ button will automatically add 30 seconds of full power to the
display. Hit ‘Start’ and you’re cooking.
If you want to choose your own cooking power and time this is also
extremely easy – press the ‘Power’ button, turn the time dial and the ‘Start’
button will commence the process.
With the RHMD702 there’re added features to enhance you cooking
experience. As well as simple microwaving and defrosting, you can choose
from 8 pre-set cooking menus that make your life easier. Cook anything
from popcorn to pizza, potatoes and even fish.
Russell Hobbs understand that not all recipes are best cooked at one power.
That’s why the RHMD702 features a multi sequence function that can allow
you to cook one dish at different power levels for desired times. What’s
more, you can set your food to cook whenever is convenient using the
handy pre-set programme.
For added peace of mind, the RHMD702 enables a child lock to be set,
meaning cooking cannot be started or interrupted.
Cleaning is straight forward, simply wipe the exterior, interior and wave
guide cover with a damp soft cloth to maintain peak performance.
In the unlikely event that you experience any issues with your product,
please make our friendly Product Care team your first point of call.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE
How do microwaves work?
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to
radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre
to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5
centimetres.)
Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but 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 oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the
air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.
The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household
electrical socket. Inside the microwave oven is the magnetron,
which turns the electrical energy into microwaves.
Microwaves cannot travel through metal, so the inside of the oven
is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which
stops microwaves getting through. This means that when the
microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility that
microwaves can be released.
