Quick Guide from the Manual
The Dualit 10L Soup Kettle is designed for commercial use to keep pre-heated food warm. It operates using a wet heat method, which requires water to be added between the inner and outer liner. Never operate the unit empty, as this poses a fire risk. Always ensure the unit is placed on a level surface and kept at least 200mm away from walls or cupboards.
Know Your Soup Kettle
The appliance consists of the following main components:
- Lid
- Stainless steel liner
- Lid hinge
- Collar
- Main body
- Setting indicator
- Temperature control (0 = Off, 35ºC - 95ºC range)

Setting Up
Follow these steps to prepare your soup kettle for use:
- Wash the stainless steel liner and lid in warm soapy water.
- Place the collar on top of the main body.
- Insert the stainless steel liner into the main body.
- Add a minimum of 300ml and a maximum of 600ml of water between the stainless steel liner and the internal aluminium container.

Operation and Safety
Important usage guidelines:
- Water Level: Check the water level every 15 minutes. Refill as necessary to ensure it stays between the minimum and maximum marks. Do not let the water evaporate.
- Temperature: Always operate at the lowest possible temperature to minimize electricity costs.
- Lid: Keep the removable hinged lid attached and in the closed position when not serving.
- Moving: Never move or carry the kettle when it is switched on or contains food.
- Switching Off: Turn the dial to '0' and unplug from the wall socket.
Cleaning & Care
Before cleaning, switch off the unit, unplug it, and allow it to cool down completely. Do not let the main body, flex, or plug get wet. Wipe the exterior with a soft, moist cloth and dry it. The stainless steel bain-marie and lid are machine washable. Do not use a high-pressure jet to clean the soup kettle.
