Product Information
Full details
The Dualit Soup Kettle (10L) is an essential appliance for professional caterers, cafe owners, and event organizers who need a reliable, high-capacity solution for serving hot liquids. Its standout benefit is the efficient temperature management system that keeps soups, stews, and sauces at optimal serving temperatures, helping to reduce waste and improve operational margins. While it excels in performance, users should note that as a wet-heat appliance, it requires careful water level monitoring to prevent the internal heating element from dry-firing.

FAQs
Can I use this to cook soup from raw ingredients?
No, this kettle is designed to hold and warm pre-cooked food, not for boiling or cooking raw ingredients.
How often should I clean the kettle?
The inner stainless steel liner should be cleaned after every use to maintain food safety and hygiene standards.
Can I use the kettle without water in the jacket?
No, this is a wet-heat appliance. Running it dry can damage the heating element and cause food to burn.
Is the lid dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to wash the components by hand in warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and mechanism.
Does it have an on/off switch?
Most models operate via the temperature dial; ensure it is turned to the 'off' position when not in use.
What is the maximum capacity?
The kettle has a 10-litre capacity, which is ideal for high-volume service.
Troubleshooting
Soup is not heating up
Check that the unit is plugged in correctly and the thermostat dial is set to the desired temperature.
Unit is making a sizzling sound
This often indicates that the water level in the jacket is too low. Refill the water jacket immediately.
Food is burning at the bottom
Ensure the water jacket is filled properly and stir the contents regularly to distribute heat evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: place the kettle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, fill the outer water jacket according to the manual's markings, and insert the stainless steel food container. Always use the provided lid to retain heat and prevent drying. For daily care, unplug the unit once cool and wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. The inner stainless steel liner should be removed and washed in warm, soapy water after every shift. Never submerge the base unit in water, as this will damage the electrical components.
