Kambrook Recommends Safety First

IMPORTANT: Please retain your
instruction book for future use.

At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer, can confidently
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use, be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.

Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
Soup 2 Simple Soup Maker

• Carefully read all instructions before
operating the Kambrook Soup 2 Simple Soup
Maker and save for future reference.

• Do not place the soup maker near the edge
of a bench or table during operation. Ensure
the surface is level, clean and free of water
and other substances.

• Always ensure the soup maker is properly
assembled before use. Follow the instructions
provided in this booklet.

• The soup maker has been designed
specifically for the purpose of making soup.
It should not be used to boil other liquids or
for cooking other foodstuffs aside from those
outlined in this instruction manual.

• Do not operate the soup maker on a sink
drain board.

• Do not remove the jug from the motor base
during operation. Ensure the soup maker
is switched off after the soup has finished
cooking, before removing the jug from the
motor base. If the jug is removed from the
motor base during to cooking program the
soup maker will automatically switch off.

• Do not place anything on top of the lid
during use or storage.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Ensure soup
maker is completely cool before moving
or storing.

• Care should be taken when handling the
soup maker. Ensure that the soup maker jug
is not touched, as there may still be residual
heat after cooking. Always use the jug
handle when removing the jug or pouring
hot liquid.

• Use caution when pouring hot soup from the
soup maker, as the hot soup and steam will
scald. Do not pour too quickly.

• Do not operate the soup maker on an
inclined plane. Do not move the soup maker
while it is switched on.

• Always fill the soup maker with liquid and
food ingredients between the minimum
(MIN) and maximum (MAX) marks on the
stainless steel jug. Too little liquid may result
in the soup maker switching off. Filling above
the maximum mark (MAX) may result in
boiling soup splashing from the soup maker.

• The lid should always be placed onto the
soup maker jug before and during use. Make
sure the lid is correctly secured and locked
before operating the soup maker. Do not
remove the lid during operation as this may
result in boiling soup splashing from the soup
maker. Always switch off and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet and soup
maker before removing the lid.
