Salton, Inc RHNPC400 - Manual (Page 31)

When should you use a Steaming or Cooking Rack?
Solution: • A steaming or cooking rack will keep the food above
the liquid used for pressure cooking.
• But if you want the foods to pick up more flavor from
the liquid, do not use a Steaming or Cooking Rack.
What should you do if froth comes out of the Steam Vent Tube
when pressure is being released?
Solution: • After pressure cooking, turn the Variable Temperature/
Pressure Control to WARMING and unplug the unit. The
POWER Indicator Light will turn off.
How can meat and vegetables be cooked together?
Solution: • Start pressure cooking the longer cooking meat first.
Turn the Variable Temperature/Pressure Control to
WARMING and unplug the unit. The POWER Indicator
Light will turn off. Wait until the pressure has totally
been released from the Pressure Regulator Valve and
the Pressure Lift Pin has dropped. Remove the Lid and
add the vegetables. Continue pressure cooking until
all the food is done.
Why is there a trickle of moisture around the Steam Vent Tube,
Pressure Cooker Handles, Pressure Regulator Valve and/or Safety
Valves when the Pan is first heated?
Solution: • A small amount of moisture around these parts is
normal when first beginning to cook. This moisture
will disappear when the Pan is fully heated.
• The Gasket must be in place inside the Lid and the
Lid closed tightly onto the Pan.

The Pressure Cooker Lid and Pressure Lift Pin Gaskets are stiff.
Solution: • Apply a thin coating of vegetable oil to the clean
Gaskets after each use to keep them soft and
pliable.
• When the Gaskets are not soft and pliable or have
stretched so that they no longer fit easily into
position, it is time to replace them. New Gaskets
can be ordered by calling the Consumer Relations
Department at 800-233-9054.
• It is a good idea to replace both Gaskets every
12 months or more often if the Pressure Cooker is
used frequently.
The food is not done.
Solution: • Simply bring the Pressure Cooker back up to
pressure after checking to make sure there is
adequate liquid in the Pan and continue cooking
a few more minutes.
Adapting other pressure cooker recipes to the Russell Hobbs®
Pressure Cooker.
Solution: • Any pressure cooker recipe in which the recipe
calls for a PRESSURE setting of up to 15 lbs. of
pressure may be used in the Russell Hobbs®
Pressure Cooker.
• Do not exceed the MAX Fill line for the food being
cooked.
