I agree as if you don't know how it's very difficult, I fortunately found someone who had one and explained the manual way, press manual, press timer, then press +button or - button to put in the minutes you require, Make sure lid on properly and pressure lever away from you Then wait and after a few seconds it will automatically start to cook for recipes I got lots ideas from utube, To use the preset press menu, then P01 go to +button and refer the menu chart ie P05 is to saute, after a few seconds it will show 30 minutes and start counting down while you saute once you have the knack it's a dream to use, I'm loving mine
I bought mine last month but iam afraid to use,pls make a video on how to set timer and the position of the exhaust and seal.russel hobbs explain slowly pls,thanks
I regret buying this pot it’s not easy to use as the menu setting is misleading... the touch buttons on front of pot to select cooking options have never worked. Therefore I’m only cooking my food on guessed times ...so annoyed 😭😭😡😡
@@wilmanewbery469 its really easy to use so dont be frightened. The buttons on the front are not buttons they are just to highlight the function number - the function number is selected using the top buttons - this is in the written instructions.
@@eileenventer7575 Easiest way is to switch the unit on, press "manual setting button". It defaults to high pressure - if you want medium or low then press the "pressure level" button. Once you're happy with the pressure level then press "cooking time". Then use the +/- buttons to choose your cooking time. Once you close the lid, it will start heating the pot. It will not display a number until pressure has been reached. Only after that, will it then count down. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I want to use the slow cook setting, but neither the video nor the manual explains in what position the exhaust valve needs to be. The Instant Pot instructional video mentions that it needs to be in the ‘venting position’. I assume this is the same for the Russell Hobbs pressure cooker…? Please can you make recipe/instructional videos for each setting on the pressure cooker?
Mine takes a lot of time to steam the food till tender. (Eg tripe and knee caps takes about 90 min) If we open the lid, there is a little bit of steam coming out. We are at sea level and it seems that the "high" temperature is to low to build up proper high pressure steam. What can I do?
I don;'t know how long tripe etc takes, but if only a little steam is coming out, it sounds like its not set to steam. I would suggest checking that the exhaust is set to sealed (i.e. at the 11 o'clock position, and not vent which is at the 7 o'clock position). Hope this helps! (sorry if I'm wrong!) Also, for cooking times/recipes I suggest googling recipe and either use "Instapot" or "pressure cooker". Instapot has taken the US by storm! Good luck!

Please supply a proper trivet! The trivet provided will only steam large foods. Anything like peas or baby potatoes falls through the holes! Otherwise nice product!
@Martine David Hi 👋 the manual reads: When steaming in the multi cooker, you should first place the trivet over at least one cup of water. Then add foods to a steamer basket and place this on the trivet. Close the lid, press STEAM and adjust the time up or down depending on how long you need to steam the food. Hope this helps!

The instruction manual is very poor if one is using a pressure cooker for the first time. Given the level danger brought about by the incorrect use of the product, there really should be a better instruction manual
how to connect waterbox? geez man. Had to watch videos to see where it goes, but still need to figure out how to attach it. A pretty stupid point not to include in the manual or any video.
Mohd Abdul Rahman Khan don’t buy ...seek better options...I’m very disappointed in mine and when I complained to the shop where I bought it from , no one was really interested to refund me 😢
I paid $150 for my Russell Hobbs express chef digital multi cooker but I don't know how to use it properly! I can do a few things but I need instructional video's to use this thing!
Definitely think a more explanation book should be supplied by Russel hobs, great product but first time using is very difficult to understand
I'm also experiencing difficulty using it.
It's so easy use Google also
Anybody know anyone who has a UA-cam channel that has mastered the Russell Hobbs express chef digital multi cooker!?
I totally agree
Thank you for your advice - so much better than the manual which is USELESS!!
Just bought mine. Going to learn how to use it. Love it!
I have used this exact pressure cooker from 2018 todate, no any issues. Easy to use and very effective. Great product.
This is a great product. Just wish there were a booklet with more descriptive instructions.
I agree as if you don't know how it's very difficult, I fortunately found someone who had one and explained the manual way, press manual, press timer, then press +button or - button to put in the minutes you require,
Make sure lid on properly and pressure lever away from you
Then wait and after a few seconds it will automatically start to cook
for recipes I got lots ideas from utube,
To use the preset press menu, then P01 go to +button and refer the menu chart ie P05 is to saute, after a few seconds it will show 30 minutes and start counting down while you saute
once you have the knack it's a dream to use, I'm loving mine
It's really made my life sooo much easy. I love this ... it was a gift from my husband

How do you know when to release pressure
Hi just need more explanation about how to cook different meals bought a few days ago👍

Manual setting on high for 60mins tripe was soft.
Does this pressure cooker take a long time to cook compared to stove?
Hi, is there a way to fix the lid when it has been misplaced onto the cooker and won’t open. There’s no pressure inside the cooker
I'm struggling 😭
You and I same group.
Me too!!!🙈
What do we set the manual function? Thanks
How do we set the manual function?
Can someone help with the manual setting I am struggling. The manual does not mention any manual selection
