• The electrical circuit of the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the device to a wall outlet; do not use any extension cords or power strips.
• Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible so as to quickly disconnect the device if the need arises.

5.3 Operation

The soup kettle is composed of a heated external pot with thermostat, a removable stainless steel insert pot and a carrying rim placed over the external pot. The transparent hinged rotating polycarbonate lid with ladle cut-out allows you to see inside the kettle at all times and check the fill level of soup or sauce, avoiding heat loss. To remove or add contents, just tilt the lit up.

• Before use, remove the lid, carrying rim and insert pot, and wash all parts according to the instructions in 6.2 „Cleaning“.
• The soup kettle functions like a water bath. Temperature of food inside is maintained by heated water.

- Pour 2.0 litres of water (up to the „MAX“ marking) into the external pot. Do not pour more than 2.0 litres of water, otherwise some will spill over when the insert pot is placed inside.

NOTE!

Shorten heating time by pouring warm water, cold water takes longer to heat up.

CAUTION!

Never turn the soup kettle on with an empty external pot.

- Prepare the desired dishes and place the warm (hot) food in the insert pot. Place the insert pot through the carrying rim. Hold the carrying rim and place the insert pot into the external pot.

- Place the lid on the soup kettle.

- First, connect the power cord to the device's socket, then insert the plug into a single grounded socket.

- Turn the device on using the ON/OFF switch located on the rear wall.

- Set the appropriate temperature for the dish to be heated. The yellow heating control light will come on.

- The adjustable temperature dial allows for heating of water in the external pot at regular intervals. The yellow heating control light comes on during the heating phase. When the set temperature is reached the control light goes off, and it comes on again when the temperature in the external pot falls.

- Heating time depends on the volume and temperature of food and of water in the external pot.

- Open the lid to serve food as desired.

• After serving food, close the lid again to avoid heat loss.

- When finished using the device, set the temperature dial all the way to the left by turning it counter-clockwise and remove the device's plug from its socket.

- The unit is equipped with a function protecting against operating while dry. If the unit is accidentally turned on without water or with too little water in the internal pot, the protection function is activated and the unit automatically shuts off. The red control light for protection against operating while dry will come on. If this happens, turn the unit off via the ON/OFF switch located on the rear wall of the unit and wait for it to cool. After it has cooled, fresh water can be poured in and the unit can be used normally.
