Frequently Asked Questions - KBL600 Kambrook

How do I clean the Kambrook KBL600 soup maker?

Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the appliance. Hand wash the motor body/lid, stainless steel shaft, and blades in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The soup jug should be hand washed by filling with hot soapy water, wiping with a sponge, and rinsing. Never immerse the motor body/lid or soup jug in water. Use a damp cloth for the motor body. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.

What do the different settings (Smooth, Chunky, Blend, Pulse) do?

Smooth runs for 15 minutes, blending ingredients to a creamy consistency. Chunky runs for 25 minutes, heating without blending for rustic soups. Blend further blends without heating. Pulse blends only while the button is pressed.

Can the soup maker be used for other purposes besides soup?

No, the KBL600 is designed only for making soup. Under no circumstances should it be used to boil other liquids or cook other foodstuffs.

What should I do if the soup maker doesn't start?

Ensure the soup jug is filled between the MIN and MAX marks—overfilling or underfilling prevents operation. Also, check that the motor body/lid is securely placed and the power cord is properly connected and switched on.

Is the soup maker dishwasher safe?

No, none of the parts are dishwasher safe. All components must be hand washed only to avoid damage.

Can I blend hot soup while the appliance is running?

The Smooth function blends automatically during cooking. For additional blending after cooking, use the Blend or Pulse settings with the motor body/lid in place. Do not remove the lid during operation to prevent splashing.

How long does it take to make soup?

Smooth soups take approximately 15 minutes, and chunky soups take approximately 25 minutes. Times may vary depending on ingredients and quantity.

What type of ingredients can I use?

You can use fresh or leftover vegetables, meats, stocks, creams, and spices. For chunky soups, cut vegetables into small dice-sized pieces. Always add liquid last, filling between MIN and MAX marks.

How do I store the soup maker?

Ensure it is clean and completely dry. Place the motor body/lid on the soup jug and store upright on a bench or in a cupboard. Do not store objects on top of the soup maker.

What safety features does the KBL600 have?

It includes overfill and underfill detectors that prevent operation if levels are wrong, a cool-touch handle, and automatic shut-off. The mixing blades are sharp—handle with care and keep out of reach of children.

Cooking Guide

The soup maker has two key functions for cooking soup. So that you can enjoy a creamy smooth soup, or a more traditional chunky soup!

Smooth Setting

The smooth soup setting is perfect for soup recipes requiring a smooth consistency. Like Roast Plumb & Tomato soup. The setting ensures that the ingredients are blended to the right consistency, and gently cooked at the correct temperature. The setting runs for 15 minutes before the soup is ready to serve.

Chunky Setting

The chunky soup setting is perfect for rustic soup recipes requiring a chunkier consistency, like Winter Lamb and Lentil Broth. The setting ensures that the ingredients are heated for longer to ensure the chunky ingredients are fully cooked. The setting runs for 25 minutes before the soup is ready to serve and enjoy. For chunky soup, there is no blending process, just heating. It is therefore recommended that you cut any vegetables into small dice sized pieces.

Blend Setting

The setting allows you to further blend your soup to your desired consistency, if required. This function works without any additional heating.

Pulse Setting

This is the fast way to add some extra blending if required. If differs from the Blend setting in that it will only blend whilst your finger is pressed down on to the start button. As soon as you lift you finger, it will automatically stop.

Hints and Tips

The Benefits of Home Made Soup

Home made soup couldn't be better for you, and depending on the recipe, can provide a full range of health-giving nutrients including vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fibre. Best of all, homemade soup is delicious! Try using fresh seasonal vegetables. You can also include slow releasing carbohydrates to your soup by adding pre-cooked whole wheat pasta pieces in the recipe.

• Always check the smoothness or the soup to see if the consistency is to your liking
- Use the pulse button foe a quick mix, or use the blend to make it really smooth
- Leftovers are always good for soups
• If you are cooking for a crowd, try using cups to serve
• If you need to thicken the soup, add 2-3 tablespoons of flower

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Cleaning

Before cleaning, turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the removable power cord. Carefully remove the motor body/lid from the soup jug.

Motor Body/Lid, Stainless Steel Shaft and Blades

The stainless steel blending shaft attached to the motor body should be hand washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and dried thoroughly after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.

WARNING: The stainless steel blades are extremely sharp, handle with care!

To remove any food residue on the motor body housing, wipe the motor body/llid with a damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Never immerse the motor body/llid in water or any other liquid.

Soup Jug

The soup jug should be hand washed by filling the soup jug with hot soapy water, wiping with a sponge then rinse and dry thoroughly after each use. Wipe the outside of soup jug with a soft, dry cloth.

Never immerse the soup jug in water or any other liquid. When rinsing, be careful to keep the power inlet away from the pouring tap.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.

WARNING: The appliance connector must be removed before the soup maker is cleaned and that the appliance inlet must be dried before the soup maker is used again.
