ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE

Thank you for purchasing your Russell Hobbs microwave oven.
The Russell Hobbs RHCM2576SS commercial stainless steel
microwave has a sleek and stylish classic design. As well as an
appealing look, this appliance also boasts impressive functionality,
with 1000 watts of microwave power providing quick and
convenient cooking in the commercial kitchens.
The RHCM2576SS has Flatbed technology, this removes the need
for a turntable to offer a microwave with more useable space –
square plates and casserole dishes, that would not fit in a turntable
microwave, to be reheated or cooked. The flatbed surface is easier
to clean than a conventional microwave, so food debris and
moisture can be easily wiped away
6 menu guides on the control panel, such as popcorn, bread,
coffee, hotdog, cheese and hamburger, give the recommended
cooking time needed at a glance.
This powerful and reliable commercial 25L microwave also features
a handy jog wheel timer, auto reset, and stainless steel cavity which
is easy to use and keep clean. It is perfect for every catering in busy
cafes and small pubs.

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.
