Can I cook food directly in the kettle?
No, this kettle is designed for holding and serving pre-cooked food at temperature, not for cooking.
How do I use the wet heat operation?
Fill the outer pot with water, ensuring it's at the correct level according to the manual, before placing the inner pot inside.
Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?
The inner pot is removable and designed for easy hand washing with warm, soapy water. It is not specified as dishwasher safe.
How often should I check the water level?
It is recommended to check the water level periodically during operation to ensure the wet heat system functions correctly and prevent the outer pot from boiling dry.

The label pack allows you to clearly identify the contents of the kettle, such as 'Soup', 'Chilli', or 'Curry', for your customers.
Is this kettle suitable for keeping beverages warm?
While primarily designed for food, it can be used for certain thick beverages like hot chocolate, but care should be taken to prevent scorching depending on the beverage's composition.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the power outlet is functional. Check that the temperature dial is set to the desired level.
