OPERATION
The Soup Kettle is automatically controlled by a thermostat which
maintains the preset temperature. An Amber Pilot light beside the
thermostat control will be illuminated when the appliance is in heating
mode. After the soup reaches preset temperature, the Amber Light will turn
Off. To operate the Soup Kettle, follow the procedure below.
♦ Remove Stainless Bowl from Soup Kettle and insert 600ml of water
into the inner liner. Replace the Stainless Steel bowl. The water
should sit between the 2 bowls. Never overfill with water and under
no circumstances should the stainless steel bowl float up, even when
empty. Remove excess water immediately.
Warning: Regularly check the levels of the water in the inner liner. It is
likely that water will evaporate due to high temperature. If the level drops
below 600ml, immediately top up with additional water.
Note: The Soup Kettle has a protective coating over the inner liner to
prevent the aluminium from Pitting. If this Liner is damaged or worn away,
poor quality water will cause rapid pitting. In areas of hard water (especially
South Australia & Western Australia) demineralised water should be used.
♦ Insert cooked soup into the stainless steel bowl and position the lid
into place
♦ Preset desired temperature on control knob using the approximate
graduations illustrated.
Note: While the adjustable thermostat is good at maintaining preset
temperatures, different soup viscosity and the amount of stirring will affect
the accuracy of the temperatures listed on the control knob. Stirring
regularly will maintain the closest temperatures. The temperature
graduations on the knob should be used as a guide only! If precise
temperatures are required, we recommend using a separate probe
thermometer.
Tip: The Soup Kettle in its highest setting is capable of slow
cooking/simmering, however for faster preparation we recommend heating
up the soup in a separate pot on the stove first, then transfer the soup to
the stainless steel bowl. Prolonged use on high will produce condensation.
In such cases the unit may appear to be “leaking.”
