FAQs
What is the internal capacity of the Hisense HB20MOBX5UK microwave?
> Info needed: [Internal capacity in liters]
Can I use metal dishes or aluminum foil in this microwave?
No, metal dishes, aluminum foil, or any metallic objects should never be used inside the microwave. They can cause arcing, damage the appliance, and potentially create a fire hazard. Always use microwave-safe glass, ceramic, or plastic containers.
How do the 8 automatic programmes work?
The 8 automatic programmes are pre-set cooking cycles for common foods like popcorn, potatoes, beverages, or certain frozen meals. You typically select the program and sometimes the weight or quantity, and the microwave automatically adjusts the power level and cooking time for optimal results without manual input.
Is professional installation required for a built-in microwave?
While it's possible for a DIY enthusiast with proper tools and knowledge to install it, professional installation is often recommended for built-in appliances to ensure correct fit, secure mounting, and proper electrical connection, especially if cabinet modifications are needed.
What kind of outlet does this microwave require?
This microwave typically requires a standard 120V, 15A (or 20A dedicated) grounded electrical outlet. Always refer to the installation section of your user manual for precise electrical requirements to ensure safe operation.
How do I set the clock on the microwave?
The clock setting procedure usually involves pressing a 'Clock' or 'Time' button, then using the number pad to enter the current time, and confirming with the 'Clock' or 'Start' button. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions for the HB20MOBX5UK model.
Troubleshooting
Microwave will not start or has no power.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your household's circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. Make sure the microwave door is fully closed and latched, as a safety interlock prevents operation if open.
Food is not heating properly or cooking unevenly.
Verify that you are using microwave-safe cookware. Ensure the turntable is correctly seated and rotating freely; food should rotate for even heating. Make sure the power level and cooking time are appropriate for the food being heated. Stir or rotate food halfway through cooking for best results.
Turntable is not rotating.
Check that the turntable plate is properly positioned on the roller ring and that the roller ring itself is correctly placed on the center drive. Clean any food debris or obstructions from under the turntable or roller ring that might be preventing rotation.
Unusual noises during operation.
Some humming is normal during microwave operation. However, if noises are loud or unusual, ensure the turntable and roller ring are correctly placed and free of obstructions. If the noise persists and seems concerning, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Error code displayed.
Refer to your product manual for a list of error codes and their corresponding solutions. Often, unplugging the microwave for a minute and plugging it back in (a 'soft reset') can resolve temporary errors. If the code persists, contact Hisense customer service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
As a built-in microwave, precise installation is crucial. Before purchasing, double-check the dimensions of your designated cabinet space against the microwave's specifications to ensure a perfect fit. Installation typically involves securing the microwave into a prepared opening within your cabinetry and connecting it to a standard electrical outlet.
Compatibility
This microwave is designed to fit standard kitchen cabinet openings. It requires a standard household electrical outlet with the appropriate voltage and amperage. Always consult the product's specific installation guide for detailed electrical requirements.
Care
To keep your Hisense microwave performing optimally and looking new, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning the Interior: Wipe the interior after each use with a damp, soft cloth to prevent food splatter from drying and hardening. For stubborn stains, place a bowl of water with a few lemon slices inside and heat it for 2-3 minutes until steamy. The steam will loosen food particles, making them easier to wipe away.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent (if necessary) to clean the exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish.
- Turntable Care: The glass turntable and roller ring can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
- Odor Removal: If odors persist, place a bowl of baking soda mixed with water inside the microwave overnight. Alternatively, heat a bowl of water with lemon slices for a few minutes.
