Hints and Tips
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.
When using the grill function, please allow 5 minutes to pre-heat the grill to the correct temperature before using.
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 RHM2031 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.
Grill Function
The grill function on your microwave is ideal for those who enjoy crisp brown food. For example, you can use this microwave to melt cheese on nachos, browning the top of your lasagne and toasting garlic bread.
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.
The Russell Hobbs RHM2031 microwave has a sleek and professional design. As well as an appealing look, this appliance also includes impressive functionality, with 800 watts of microwave power and a 1000 watt grill providing quick and convenient cooking in your home.

Russell Hobbs Microwave Grill
Looks very sleek and good quality. Electric lead could be longer but adjusted by adding an extension wire to the socket.

Just fine! don’t expect great grill
I wouldn’t have bothered getting anything with a grill, and knew not to expect much from one on a model this size, but I bought this in slight desperation after the little one I’d inherited started shedding enamel, then a replacement similarly sized sharp model lasted less than 20 minutes, and really needed something to reheat frozen meals, and a convenient height grill for simple muffins and crumpets while unable to use all limbs easily.There’s a lot to like about this. Firstly, the instruction manual, while only needed to understand the limited combination options, is reasonable quality and fully readable without reading glasses. It’s very easy to use, although, I still occasionally cancel what i want to do rather than just hitting the dial to start. Just sometimes I end up going up or down some seconds hitting the dial to start, but that’s minor thing.The cheap plastic chrome effect buttons are not all that bad. They work much better than a touch panel. Not sure about complaints about turning dial for longer time-lengths… seems to do it pretty well for me with little effort. Chrome plastic door handle is just passable too, but again, works fine to open and close door.I didn’t expect much from the grill option in a unit this size, and if I had space for a toaster as well, then I doubt I’d ever use it, but it does work to toast a muffin or crumpet, albeit not particularly fast doing one side a time.I do wonder if the ring that goes under the turntable was actually for something even smaller… you definitely need to make sure it’s in the right place as have had it move out of place then turnable fall off and not turn, but mostly it’s OK.There’s just a few slight usability issues, but then, some are perhaps for good reason, and make you check you didn’t just start it with nothing in, etc., so none that I’m particularly worried about.As a microwave, there is really nothing to complain about. It looks OK. Easy to use. Grill is as good as you’d expect of something in a unit this size. It’s pretty much identical size to the one that was shedding it’s insides that didn’t have a grill, so fits the same gap in the kitchen, looks a little better, plus, has a clock! I’m pretty happy.

Exactly what you want from a microwave
Intuitive. Great design, and like the click and turn action of the knob which actions the settings. Only criticism is the clock doesn’t keep the time set after powering off and on at mains

Don’t waste your money
I bought this originally in 2020. There was a mechanical fault with it in less than a year. Amazon replaced it in February 2021. In 2023 it started to rust inside. I contacted Amazon but they would not help as it was outside of the 2 year warranty. Told me to contact Russell Hobbs which I did. Russell Hobbs were not interested. I was told that I should be cleaning and drying the inside after each use, which I had done. It was not used excessively, I live on my own and work full time. I explained all this but they were adamant there was nothing wrong with the item. My previous microwave was over 10 years old and was still going strong, I only bought this because I was upgrading my kitchen. Considering the cost of this item it should have lasted a lot longer than just over 2 years. If it was a budget one it wouldn’t seem such an issue. Seems lots of other customers have experienced the same problem with this so there is clearly a manufacturing fault with it. But both Amazon and Russell Hobbs are refusing to take any responsibility.

Microonde arrivato nei tempi stabiliti. Forno capiente e facile da usare. Libretto di istruzioni anche in lingua italiana. Esternamente il materiale è in acciaio, designer moderno. Facile da pulire , luce interna che permette di vedere il cibo in cottura. Cura nellâimballaggio, arrivato in perfette condizioni, anche gli angoli sono stati accuratamente avvolti da scotch! Era in offerta, è stato davvero un ottimo affare!
