INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this quality Robalec™product.
With proper care and management your new purchase will give you
years of trouble free service.
By reading these instructions carefully you can ensure that this machine
is used and maintained properly, helping your new investment to
perform well for you now, and to continue performing in the many years
to come.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
This machine must only be operated by qualified person(s) who are fully
versed in the operating and safety instructions described in this manual.
Service persons should be instructed to familiarise themselves with any
and all safety instructions described in this manual prior to
commencement of maintenance.
In the case of new personnel, training is to be provided in advance. These
machines should not be operated by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the safe use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
These machines are heating units, and as with any commercial heating unit
the surfaces will get hot. Always be careful when near an operating Soup
Kettle, and ensure that any risk to unwary customers or staff is minimised
with additional signage if necessary. Due to the obvious heat hazard
Roband recommends that these units be kept out of reach of children.
The performance of this unit cannot be guaranteed for operational use
outside its design parameters.
The machine should be disconnected from all power and allowed to
cool before cleaning.
Roband will accept no liability if;
♦ Non-authorised personnel have tampered with the machine.
♦ The instructions in this manual have not been followed correctly.
♦ Non-original spare parts are used.
♦ The machine is not cleaned correctly, with the right product.
♦ There is any damage to the unit.

COMPLIANCE

INSTALLATION
Remove all the packaging materials and tape.
Place the Soup Kettle on a firm, level surface in the required position.
Before connecting the Soup Kettle to the power supply, ensure that all the
controls are in the "OFF" position.
Plug the Soup Kettle into an unshared standard, single phase,
10 Amp power point.
National Standards exist outlining the positioning, spacing and ventilation
requirements when installing new appliances. These Standards should be
consulted and new equipment should be installed accordingly. In any
situation where specifications allow a distance of less than 100mm we
would still recommend that a well-ventilated air gap of not less than 100mm
be maintained. If the machine is near particularly heat-sensitive materials
common sense should be employed in determining sufficient distancing.

OPERATION
The Soup Kettle is automatically controlled by a thermostat which
maintains the preset temperature. An Amber Pilot light beside the
thermostat control will be illuminated when the appliance is in heating
mode. After the soup reaches preset temperature, the Amber Light will turn
Off. To operate the Soup Kettle, follow the procedure below.
♦ Remove Stainless Bowl from Soup Kettle and insert 600ml of water
into the inner liner. Replace the Stainless Steel bowl. The water
should sit between the 2 bowls. Never overfill with water and under
no circumstances should the stainless steel bowl float up, even when
empty. Remove excess water immediately.
Warning: Regularly check the levels of the water in the inner liner. It is
likely that water will evaporate due to high temperature. If the level drops
below 600ml, immediately top up with additional water.
Note: The Soup Kettle has a protective coating over the inner liner to
prevent the aluminium from Pitting. If this Liner is damaged or worn away,
poor quality water will cause rapid pitting. In areas of hard water (especially
South Australia & Western Australia) demineralised water should be used.
♦ Insert cooked soup into the stainless steel bowl and position the lid
into place
♦ Preset desired temperature on control knob using the approximate
graduations illustrated.
Note: While the adjustable thermostat is good at maintaining preset
temperatures, different soup viscosity and the amount of stirring will affect
the accuracy of the temperatures listed on the control knob. Stirring
regularly will maintain the closest temperatures. The temperature
graduations on the knob should be used as a guide only! If precise
temperatures are required, we recommend using a separate probe
thermometer.
Tip: The Soup Kettle in its highest setting is capable of slow
cooking/simmering, however for faster preparation we recommend heating
up the soup in a separate pot on the stove first, then transfer the soup to
the stainless steel bowl. Prolonged use on high will produce condensation.
In such cases the unit may appear to be “leaking.”

OPERATION (Continued)
♦ Plug the Soup Kettle into an unshared standard, single phase, 10 Amp
power point. Caution: Never plug in the power cord without inserting
the 600ml water and loaded Stainless Cooking Bowl inside the cooker.
♦ Always disconnect from electrical outlet when appliance is not in use.
♦ Always keep the removable hinged lid attached and in the closed
position when not serving.
♦ Never move or carry the Soup Kettle when it contains hot soup or
liquid.
♦ Spilled food should be removed immediately from all exterior
surfaces. The body exterior and top collar should be cleaned with a
damp cloth.
Warning: NEVER operate empty unit! Always operate with 600ml of water
Make sure the unit is unplugged while not in use, when filling with soup or
water and when being cleaned.

CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your Soup Kettle. Although scheduled servicing is not required
we do recommend you adopt a program of regular maintenance to ensure
that the Soup Kettle is clean and functional and to avoid inadvertently
damaging the unit.
Daily cleaning should be considered mandatory for all cooking equipment.
In order to ensure the proper cleaning and to avoid damage to the Soup
Kettle the instructions below should be followed.
♦ Ensure the power is off, the Soup Kettle is unplugged and cool before
attempting to clean any part of the machine.
♦ Do not immerse the Soup Kettle in water. Wipe the outside of the Soup
Kettle down using a damp sponge or cloth.
♦ To Clean the inner liner, gently wipe using a soft sponge or rag with a
soapy water solution. Do Not use abrasive cloth or course material as this
will damage the protective coating.
♦ To clean the cooking pot, soak it in hot soapy water and gently clean the
bottom of the cooking pot with a cloth.
♦ Wipe the Soup Kettle body, Inner Liner and Stainless Bowl dry before
storing or before using again.
♦ Do not clean this unit with the use of a water jet.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Amber light indicates when the Soup Kettle is cooking/warming. If this
does not light up when switched on and the water is not heating check the
following before calling for service.
√ That the machine is plugged in correctly and the power is switched on.
√ That the power point is not faulty.
√ Check for objects caught between the cook pot and the Inner Liner and
that there is 600ml water between the 2 bowls.
√ Check that thermostat has been set to desired temperature and is not in
the "OFF" position.
√ Wait and check that the thermostat is not in an "Off Cycle"
Only after all these points have been checked should you call for service.
