BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove all packaging material from the product.
• As some parts may be packed separately, check to ensure all items have been unpacked
before disposing of the packaging.
• Remove all accessories and components.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section of this
manual.
• Select a level, dry countertop where the appliance is to be used, allowing air space on all
sides to provide sufcient ventilation and a safe distance from hot surfaces of the multi
cooker.
• To prevent damage from steam and heat, ensure the multi cooker is not placed directly under
cupboards when in use.
• Do not place cooking pot into an oven or directly on a stove top. The cooking pot must only
be used with this multi cooker.
• Ensure the multi cooker is always disconnected from the wall power outlet when not in use.
HOW PRESSURE COOKING WORKS
Your Russell Hobbs multi cooker has pressure cooking functionality and has been specically
designed to safely control the steam pressure and temperature during cooking.
When liquid inside this multi cooker is boiled, steam builds up and creates pressure. This
pressure allows the temperature to rise above the normal 100°C boiling point and creates a
‘superheated vapour’ that has a cooking potential several times greater than standard cooking
methods.
There are 11 preset automatic cooking functions to aid in making the cooking process as easy as
possible. These functions include:
• 8 pressurised settings: Soup/Curry, Bake, Pot Roast, White Rice, Brown Rice, Risotto and
Steam.
• 3 non-pressurised settings: Slow Cook, Yoghurt and Sauté.
Note: Although the SLOW COOK and YOGHURT functions do not work with pressure, it is intended
to be used with the lid in place.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Be certain to use utensils that will not scratch the cooking surface of the
cooking pot. Use the utensils provided or use silicone or rubber utensils when cooking and
serving. Do not use metal utensils, be careful not to scrape the non-stick finish.
1. Complete the Cooking Preparation as per pages 6 and 7.
2. Plug in and switch on at the power outlet. The display screen will ash 4 red horizontal lines,
indicating that the multi cooker is in standby mode.
3. Select a menu function by pressing the corresponding button on the control panel.
A red light will illuminate above the button showing your menu selection and the display screen
will continue to ash 4 red horizontal lines.
Note: This method will apply for all functions except for Manual and Steam. Please see the
“MANUAL OPERATION” section on page 18 for detailed instructions on how to use the Manual
and Steam functions.
4. After 10 seconds the multi cooker will beep 3 times and the display screen will then display
“HEAt” indicating the multi cooker is in heating mode and beginning to build pressure.
The display will not begin to count down time until sufcient pressure has built up. Time to
build pressure can vary and depends on the menu selected, volume and temperature of the
ingredients placed in the cooking pot.
Note: Lid safety- once there is pressure built up within the multi cooker, for safety reasons the lid
will lock and not be able to be opened until it is de-pressurised.
5. Once cooking is complete and time has elapsed the multi cooker will beep 10 times and
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM setting and the display screen will display “EAT”
indicating your food is now ready to eat. You will need to de-pressurise the unit either by
quick release or natural release. See section “DE-PRESSURISING AND OPENING THE LID”
on page 10.
Note: Some food will deteriorate if kept in “keep warm” mode for extended periods of time.
6. Switch off the wall power outlet and remove the plug from the socket.
Note: During the cooking functions, you can cancel the current operation and return to standby
mode by pressing the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button. Keep warm can be switched on or off by
pressing the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button.
Note: During cooking, some steam will release from the exhaust valve, this is normal as the multi
cooker is maintaining required pressure.

10
DE-PRESSURISING AND OPENING THE LID
CAUTION: The lid will not unlock until pressure inside the pot has been released. This will
be indicated when steam has stopped coming out of the exhaust valve and the red float
valve has lowered.
Once cooking is complete, the multi cooker will automatically switch to KEEP WARM. You then
have two options to release pressure prior to opening the lid:
A. Natural pressure release method
When the unit is nished cooking, it will automatically switch to KEEP WARM. In this mode, the
unit will naturally release pressure and the red oat valve will eventually lower. This will take up
to 20 minutes depending on the contents and amount of pressure built up. During this time, food
will continue to cook. This method is recommended for ingredients that will not “overcook”.
B. Quick pressure release method
• Cover your hand with an oven mitt to protect your skin from escaping steam.
• Using tongs or a wooden spoon, carefully rotate the exhaust valve to the release position
in very short spurts, taking care to keep your hands and face away from the escaping steam
coming from the exhaust valve.
• If liquid is ejected from the valve, wait a minute longer before proceeding.
• The red oat valve will eventually lower and all pressure will be released.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to keep clear of the Exhaust valve steam outlet at all times as the
escaping steam will be extremely hot and can scald.
IMPORTANT:
• For liquid foods (such as soups, stocks, casseroles and soaked beans) only ll the unit ½
way, otherwise the food may eject from the exhaust valve.
• Never pull out the exhaust valve when pressure is releasing.
• When a large quantity of food is cooked, do not release pressure immediately after cooking.
It is recommended to leave the food in KEEP WARM mode for 5-10 minutes before releasing
the pressure.
Seal Position Release Position

11
HOW TO OPEN THE LID
Wearing an oven mitt, hold the lid handle and turn the lid counter-clockwise until the “ ” marking
on the lid aligns with the “OPEN ” marking on the housing. To open the lid, lift and tilt it so it
opens from the back rst, to avoid steam coming towards you.
CAUTION: Be careful when opening the lid as there may still be steam built up in the multi
cooker.
Note: Once the lid has been opened, if you would like to close and lock the lid back into place,
you may need to carefully push down using the handle of the lid and rotating with gentle pressure.
This is because there may be a small amount of pressure remaining in the cooking pot which
needs to be released before the lid will lock again.
CAUTION: Do not touch the metal part of the lid as it may be very hot.
REMOVING THE COOKING POT AFTER COOKING
Always wait until the cooking pot is cool enough to handle (less than 40°C) before removing from
the multi cooker, as a hot cooking pot may cause serious burns or damage to benchtops.

12
11 PRE-SET AUTOMATIC COOKING FUNCTIONS
There are 8 pressurised functions and 3 non-pressurised functions.
8 FUNCTIONS WITH PRESSURE:
WHITE RICE
This function will create delicious uffy rice every time, whether you cook basmati, jasmice or long
grain rice. Measure out the desired amount of rice or grains with the provided measure cup and
add to the cooking pot. Then add the corresponding amount of water. Add 1–2 tablespoons of
butter or oil to the rice to minimise frothing. Secure the lid, press WHITE RICE to start cooking.
Use the Natural Pressure Release method for best results. If making sticky rice, use the Quick
Pressure Release method.
BROWN RICE
Similar to the white rice setting, measure out the desired amount of rice with the provided
measure cup and add to the cooking bowl, with the corresponding amount of water. Simply add
2 cups of water to 1 cup of brown rice. Secure the lid, press BROWN RICE and you will have
delicious brown rice ready to eat in no time.
RISOTTO
Use this function to create creamy risotto without the need to stir continuously throughout the
cooking cycle. Start by using the SAUTÉ setting to toast the Arborio rice, for greater tasting
results. Then add any other required ingredients/liquids, secure the lid and press RISOTTO.
See the recipe guide in the back of this instruction booklet for some recipes to get you started.
STEAM
Note: The STEAM function works using the same method as MANUAL. Please see the “MANUAL
OPERATION” section on page 18 for detailed instructions on how to use the Manual and Steam
functions.
This function is perfect for steaming vegetables and seafood, as well as mouth watering
dumplings and dim-sims. When steaming in the multi cooker, you should rst 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. To speed up cooking time, add hot water to the cooking pot, rather than cold water.
POT ROAST
Sunday roasts just got easier, as you can even cook roasts such as topside beef, shoulders of
lamb or pork, a whole chicken and silverside in less time than in a traditional oven.
You can brown your piece of meat rst using the SAUTÉ function to seal in the avour. Then add
1-2 cups of stock or any required liquid to the cooking pot, place meat on the trivet and press
POT ROAST. See the recipe guide in the back of this instruction booklet for some recipes to get
you started.
IMPORTANT: Always remember to ‘rest’ meat for at least 10 minutes for it to relax and
retain juices. It is also wise to have a meat thermometer in your kitchen to test the
doneness of your meat (safe internal temperatures for red meat is 72°C, poultry 75°C and
fish 65°C), especially for large cuts of meat. It is not recommended to cook frozen meat.

13
BAKE
Using the bake function you can make cakes, as well as creamy rice desserts, cheese cakes and
puddings. Desserts can be cooked in a round cake tin, pudding bowl or individual ramekins. The
cake tin, pudding bowl or ramekins will need to be double wrapped in foil for cooking in the multi
cooker.
Note: Prior to adding ingredients, ensure that the cake tin ts in the cooking pot.
Add water in the cooking pot along with the trivet, then place your cake tin or ramekins on top of
the trivet. For most steamed puddings, water will need to come ¾ way up the side of the cake tin
or pan, or ramekin.
Be careful when taking out the cake tin or pan from the multi cooker, perhaps by making a ‘foil
strap’ to help you lift the vessel out without burning yourself. Take a length of 50cm foil and fold it
long ways to form a 6cm wide strap. Place this under the cooking vessel for you to lower it onto the
trivet - you can use this to lift it out. See the recipe section of this manual to get you started.
SOUP/CURRY
Using the soup/curry function you can create delicious soups and curries in minutes. It will also
give you an intensely rich stock for soups, sauces and gravies. If you are adapting a favourite
soup or curry recipe for the multi cooker, just remember to halve the amount of liquid. See the
recipe guide in the back of this instruction booklet for some recipes to get you started.
IMPORTANT: After making soup, curry or stock, allow at least 15 minutes before releasing
pressure to ensure the hot liquid inside will not boil over.
Note: If your recipe includes pasta as an ingredient, cook it separately then add it to your soup
when it has nished cooking. Pasta should not be cooked in the multi cooker as it creates foam
that can block the multi cooker exhaust valve and red oat valve.
3 FUNCTIONS WITHOUT PRESSURE
SAUTÉ
This function cooks at a medium-high heat, similar to stove top cooking, and will heat the cooking
pot quickly. This helps browning meat and/or caramelising ingredients for casseroles and slow
cooking, as well as toasting rice for risotto.
The maximum setting time is 20 minutes. If your recipe requires sautéing or simmering for longer,
simply press KEEP WARM/CANCEL and press SAUTÉ again which will cook for another cycle of
20 minutes.
Ingredients will not brown or caramelise unless you use the Sauté function rst. To caramelise,
brown or sauté ingredients prior to pressure cooking, simply select the SAUTÉ function. When
you have nished sautéing, press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button.
You can then select the desired cooking function. Refer to the GENERAL FUNCTIONS Section
on page 9.
See the recipe guide in the back of this instruction booklet for some recipes to get you started.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not place the cooking pot directly on a stove top. The cooking pot must only be
used with this multi cooker.
• Do not place the lid on when using the Sauté function. If you do so, the multi cooker
will beep repeatedly until the lid is removed.

14
SLOW COOK
This setting allows you to cook delicious slow cooked meals including meat, soups, bolognese,
fruit or vegetables as you would in a standard slow cooker.
This is not a pressurised setting, but is intended to be used with the lid in place. When slow
cooking, it is extremely important that you do not often open the lid to check on the cooking
progress. Each time the lid is opened, your cook time will need to be increased. The default
cooking time is set at 4 hours but this can be adjusted, depending on your recipe requirements.
The available cooking time ranges from 2 to 10 hours.
YOGHURT
To create creamy yoghurt, all you need is fresh milk and a starter (eg: plain yoghurt). Check
the recipe at the end of this manual for ratios. Stir evenly until the mixture reaches a uniform
consistency. Pour the mixed liquid into the cooking pot of the multi cooker, close the lid and
select the YOGHURT function. Leave it to incubate for approximately six hours. The longer you
cook it for, the tarter the taste.
Once complete, transfer the yoghurt into a container and place it in the fridge to chill for
approximately four hours. This will stop the incubating process and change of avor.
You can add other ingredients such as vanilla, honey, fruits or sugar to change the taste of your
yoghurt to your liking. Stir well until all ingredients are well combined.
This is not a pressurised setting, but is intended to be used with the lid in place. For best results,
do not open the lid while the yoghurt function is in progress. To set effectively, the milk needs to
stay at a constant temperature. The default cooking time is set at 6 hours.

15
COOKING MENU FUNCTIONS
Time for pressure to build up will vary depending on the recipe or function selected. Once

MANUAL OPERATION GUIDE
Follow the guide below as an approximate indication for recommended cooking times.
VEGETABLES
Vegetables cook in no time in the multi cooker. Always use the quick pressure release method
when the cook time has ended. This will ensure your vegetables retain some texture and don’t
overcook. Use at least one cup of water (or liquid) when cooking vegetables, and, if cooking
frozen vegetables, allow an additional 2 minutes cooking time.
Should the vegetables require more cooking, simply place them back in the multi cooker, turn it
off and place the lid on to steam them a bit more.

MEAT, FISH & POULTRY
Meat cooked in the multi cooker will give a succulent and avoursome result, every time. For
maximum avour, rst brown the meat or poultry (not sh) on all sides in the multi cooker using
1 tablespoon of oil on the SAUTÉ function before locking the lid and commencing pressure-
cooking.
Refer to the guide below for MANUAL cook times and use this as a general indication for
adapting recipes that you want to convert for the multi cooker. Always remember to ‘rest’
meat for at least 10 minutes for it to relax and retain their juices. It is also wise to have a meat
thermometer in your kitchen to test the doneness of your meat (safe internal temperatures for red
meat is 72°C, poultry 75°C and sh 65°C), especially for large cuts of meat.
Note: it is not recommended to cook frozen meat.
