This tutorial is incorrect - it is actually setting the phone in DFU mode. To set in recovery mode follow what Dom has said or use this method - power off iphone, hold home button and while holding the home button, connect usb cable. keep holding until you see the usb cable and itunes logo image shown in this tutorial

The best way to ensure your iphone goes into recovery mode rather than DFU mode is to:
-Hold down just the power button and slide to power off
-Turn phone back on, then quickly hold down the home button as it starts up.
