SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

iiSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS1
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The SinAqua™ Souper™ must be properly grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing a safe path for the electric current.
For your safety, never cut, remove, or disable the electrical (ground) connection from the plug. Never use an adapter
plug or an extension cord with the SinAqua™ Souper™.
WARNING: Electric shock can result from an improperly grounded plug. Please consult a qualified electrician if you have any questions about these grounding instructions.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly
qualified person.
Please make sure that the power cord is firmly attached to your CookTek unit BEFORE plugging the unit into the
power receptacle and attempting operation.

Theory of Operation
The SinAqua™ Souper™ is a portable countertop unit
from CookTek used for rethermalizing food and precision holding. Employing a forward-thinking design
and high-contrast, easy-to-use capacitive touch control,
the SinAqua™ Souper™ can take liquid foods from an
unfrozen, chilled state through the food safety danger
zone in as little as 45 minutes.† After rethermalization,
food is held at a precise temperature within a selectable
range of 140–200˚F (60–93˚C). Utilizing CookTek
inductive heating technology, the SinAqua™ Souper™
consistently heats food without scorching and holds
food twice as long as steam wells, while using less than
half the energy. The SinAqua™ Souper™ eliminates
maintenance and plumbing associated with traditional
soup warmers.

The SinAqua™ Souper™ must be plugged into a
grounded, single-phase receptacle. See the adjacent data and check the rating plate on the unit
to verify correct voltage and wattage. Incoming
voltages that are below the product specification
can result in less-than-rated power and slower
heating times.
Installation: Countertop
Install or locate this equipment only in accordance
with the instructions below.
Unpacking Instructions
1. Remove the SinAqua™ Souper™ from its
packaging.
2. Before throwing the packaging away, check it
thoroughly for accessories and literature.
3. Make sure the power cord is rmly attached
before plugging the unit into the power
receptacle and before attempting operation.
NOTE: Keeping the packaging is recommended
in case the equipment and/or accessories need to
be transported.
CAUTION: The SinAqua™ Souper™ is designed
to operate without water and does not employ
steam to heat food. If water is allowed to enter the
chamber wherein the tureen is placed, whether by
way of operational error or for cleaning purposes,
the water will drain below the Souper™ unit (see
Figure 5, page 4).
Install or locate this equipment only in accordance with
the instructions below.
Unpacking Instructions

4. Connect the other end of the Micro USB cable to
the control box (Figure 7, page 5) and install the
control box using the cutout dimensions in
Figure 8 (page 5).
5. Plug in the Souper™ to the power source.
CAUTION: The SinAqua™ Souper™ is designed to
operate without water and does not employ steam
to heat food. If water is allowed to enter the
chamber wherein the tureen is placed, whether by
way of operational error or for cleaning purposes,
the water will drain below the Souper™ unit (see
Figure 5, below). When installing the drop-in
Souper™ unit, plan accordingly.
