Before you start using your appliance check that:

The compressor requires a running in period of up to 2 months. During this time it has to work a little harder and may result in more noise than usual.

Hotpoint has established a reputation for delivering reliable and innovative home appliances, and their BM10 and BM21 models of built-in microwaves further solidify this commitment. These two appliances bring modern design features and advanced technology to kitchens, ensuring cooking convenience and versatility.

The Hotpoint BM10 microwave offers a capacity of 17 liters, making it ideal for smaller kitchens or for individuals who value efficiency and space. With a sleek and contemporary design, the BM10 seamlessly integrates into any cabinetry, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. Its user-friendly interface features intuitive controls, making it accessible for all users, regardless of cooking skill.

One standout feature of the BM10 is its combination cooking technology, which allows users to utilize both microwave and grill functions simultaneously. This results in evenly cooked meals that boast a delightful crispy texture on the outside, paired with tender juiciness on the inside. The microwave also comes equipped with an automatic cook function, which takes the guesswork out of meal preparation by selecting the optimal cooking times and power levels for various dishes.
