This setting runs for 21 minutes and the soup can be poured straight out to serve. Alternatively, if further blending is desired, see the ‘BLEND’ or ‘PULSE’ settings. The ‘PULSE’ setting is a blend-only setting without heating that assists, if required, to further manually blend finished Smooth or Chunky soup to a desired consistency. Unlike the ‘BLEND’ setting, ‘PULSE’ is a manual setting and, when chosen, will only blend while your finger is pressed down onto the ‘START’ button. The ‘PULSE’ setting is also good for creating smoothies, milkshakes and iced drinks. Chunky Setting The ‘CHUNKY’ setting is a heat-only setting (no blending) and cooks the ingredients until heated through. The setting runs for 28 minutes before the soup is ready to serve and enjoy. Alternatively, if some blending is desired, see the ‘BLEND’ or ‘PULSE’ settings. It is recommended when using the ‘CHUNKY’ setting to cut any vegetables and meat into small dice sized pieces. Blend Setting The ‘BLEND’ setting is a blend-only setting without heating that assists, if required, to further blend finished Smooth or Chunky soup to a desired consistency. This setting will blend intermittently over a 2 minute period when chosen. Alternatively, the ‘BLEND’ setting is also perfect for creating smoothies, milkshakes and iced drinks. 10 Using Your Kambrook Soup Maker Before First Use Before first use remove all promotional sticker and packaging material.

The sensor is located in the base of the soup maker and may be triggered by the contents of some recipes, such as foods that are high in starch or sugar, ‘settling’ to the bottom of the soup maker during the heating process covering the base causing the temperature rise. You may find that the food settling leaves a burnt residue on the base of the soup maker (see burnt residue issue). • Bottom of soup maker has a burnt mark and is difficult to clean. • High sugar content or starchy foods such as tomatoes, creamed corn, coconut cream, potatoes have stuck to the base of soup maker. Solution • ^To help prevent settling, add more liquid content to the recipe, especially if cooking sugary or starchy foods. Note: This may require adding less food content in order to accommodate. • Fill the soup maker close to the MAX indicator line marked inside the soup maker and only add cold or at least tepid liquids (i.e. cold broths, not hot) into the soup maker. • Give all ingredients a good stir prior to placing the soup maker motor/lid on the soup maker. • To remove residue burnt to the base, follow the cleaning instructions under Residue Removal from Base found on page 19 of this instruction manual. • Flour added to the recipe has left a burnt residue in the base of the soup maker. Error Message E3 is showing • The soup maker is equipped with a safety boil dry probe which detects when there is not enough liquid in the soup maker during cooking. • Liquid may have evaporated from the soup maker during operation. Error Message E1 is showing • The soup maker is equipped with a safety overflow probe which detects when there is too much liquid in the soup maker during cooking which might cause the soup maker liquid to boil over. • Be sure to place enough liquid to more than cover above the MIN level mark indicated on the inside of the soup maker. • Add more liquid to the soup maker and restart the cooking process. • Reduce liquid amount in the soup maker to MAX level mark indicated inside the soup maker. 17 Troubleshooting Guide Issue continued Problem Solution Soup maker is making ‘noise’ and/or shaking during operation • The soup maker does make some noise and may shake somewhat during operation. This is normal. • The soup maker blends during the cooking process when using the ‘SMOOTH’, ‘BLEND’ or ‘PULSE’ settings. This blending action causes the unit to shake. Plastic measuring jug inside the soup maker • The soup maker comes with a plastic measuring jug accessory which can be found inside the soup maker when first removed from packaging. DO NOT operate the soup maker with the measuring jug inside. • The plastic measuring jug without handle attached sits inside the soup maker for shipping and storage purposes only. Always remove the measuring jug before using the soup maker. • Unsure how to attach/remove measuring jug handle. NOTE: We recommend that you do not add flour to the soup maker as it can cause food to burn to the bottom of the soup maker. ^NOTE: If the cooking process is interrupted for any reason during operation, for safety reasons there is no automatic reset button on the soup maker. The program will need to be reset and start the cooking process from the very beginning of the program selected. 18 • To attach/remove the measuring jug handle, slide the handles in or out of the slot found on the side of the measuring jug. 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 maker. Motor Body/Lid, Stainless Steel Shaft and Blades The stainless steel blending shaft and blades attached to the motor body/lid should be hand washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and dried thoroughly after each use, being careful not to get the control panel wet. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool. IMPORTANT: The stainless steel blades are extremely sharp, handle with care! To remove any food residue on the motor body/lid, wipe the motor body/ lid with a damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Never immerse the motor body/lid in water or any other liquid. Soup Maker The soup maker should be hand washed by filling the soup maker with hot soapy water, wiping with a sponge and then rinsing and drying thoroughly after each use. Wipe the outside of the soup maker with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the soup maker 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. Cleaning Residue from Base For stubborn stains, such as burnt residue on the base of the soup maker caused by food settling to the base, fill the soup maker with normal tap water to between the MIN and MAX lines, then add 4-5 tablespoons of salt (if salt is not available, 250ml of vinegar), set the soup maker to the ‘CHUNKY’ setting and press the START button. Let the soup maker operate for at least 15 minutes, pour the water content out and then run the soup maker under cold water to cool. A thorough scrub with a plastic scourer should lift the mark. As an alternative method or for very stubborn stain removal, clean with #Gumption ® Multi-Purpose Paste Cleaner which can be found at most supermarkets. Follow the instructions on the Gumption packaging. Be sure to thoroughly clean and rinse all the paste from the soup maker before reusing. NOTE: # Gumption ® instructions state not to use on stainless steel appliances which can be scratched; the soup maker has a brushed stainless steel internal finish so scratching should not be an issue. 19 Care, Cleaning and Storage WARNING: The appliance connector must be removed before the soup maker is cleaned and the appliance inlet must be dried before the soup maker is used again. QUICK WASH: Between each soup batch, fill the soup maker to the ‘MAX’ mark with hot soapy water. Select the ‘PULSE’ setting and then press the ‘START’ button for 5 seconds. This will remove any food on the blade and shaft. Storage Before storage, turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the removable power cord. Ensure the soup maker is clean and completely dry. Place the motor body/lid on the soup maker. Store upright on the bench top or in a convenient cupboard. Do not store any objects on top of the soup maker. 20 continued Recipes 21 Recipes Potato and Leek Soup NOTE: Make sure to remove the plastic measuring jug found inside the soup maker before adding ingredients or starting the cooking process.
