Instructions For Use

The soup maker has been designed to create either smooth or chunky soup. It also features a reheat function allowing precooked soups to be reheated. It is fitted with several safety features including an interlocking lid, temperature sensor, and a safety cut-off switch in the motor.

The built-in blades mean that the soup maker can also be used as a blender

to make smoothies, purees, dips and dressings.

Before using the soup maker for the first time, wipe down the jug and lid with a damp cloth using a mild detergent.

Caution: The jug contains very sharp blades and should be handled with care at all times. Do not immerse the unit or jug in water or any other liquids.

1. Place the base unit of the soup maker on a heat-resistant, stable surface. Carefully position the jug on the base unit aligning the connections in the base of the jug handle with those in the base unit. The jug should sit securely on top of the base unit.
2. Fit the lid to the soup maker by aligning the lock open symbol on the lid with the arrow on the handle.
3. Ensure the measuring cup is fitted to the top of the lid.

1. When everything is positioned correctly, connect the soup maker to the mains power supply and press the Start/Stop button to turn the soup maker on. The button will illuminate indicating the soup maker is on.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the arrow on handle of the jug aligns with the lock symbol and arrow on the lid. Failure to do so will trigger the alarm and all lights will flash. The soup maker will not function if the lid is fitted incorrectly.

Note: The above cooking times are for reference only.

The above pre-set programs rely on uninterrupted operation. Any interruption will result in the cancellation of the program. Restarting will result in the cooking stages being repeated which may affect the finished result.

If you need to add additional ingredients during the cooking process you can remove the measuring cup stopper and insert food without interrupting the program.

1. Press the "Start/Stop" button to turn on. The indicator will flash. Choose the appropriate program to confirm and the soup maker will begin.
2. Smooth soup and chunky soup will take around 22-30 minutes to cook.
   When the cooking or blending is complete, the soup maker will beep for several seconds and the indicators will blink.
3. During the cooking process, if the indicators blink and beep continuously, it

means there is a problem with the operation or there is a malfunction. Check the following:

1. Check that the lid is secure
2. Check that the jug is correctly placed on the main body

3. The base and motor could have over-heated. Allow the jug and motor to cool for 5 minutes. Reassemble and retry.

4. Pulse function: After pressing the "Start/Stop" button to turn on the machine, press the "Pulse" button to activate the pulse function.

5. Steam function: Pour up to 1400ml of water into the jug. Place the food into the steam basket, making sure it is above the water level. Food should take around 15 minutes to steam.

6. Boiling: Pour up to 800ml of boiling water into the jug. Place the steaming basket into the jug, making sure that the food is immersed in water.

7. Smoothie: The smoothie function will blend contents to a smoothie consistency. It will automatically stop once the program has finished. To stop the cycle at any time press the smoothie button again, or press the Start/Stop button.

8. Making soup: Chop all of your ingredients into approximately 2-3cm cubes and add to the soup maker jug.

Caution: It is not recommended to use raw meats in the soup maker. Any meat or fish must be pre-cooked. Do not add any frozen ingredients. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.

For A Smooth Soup:

Place all of your ingredients into the jug and then add your liquid or stock to the required level.

For A Chunky Soup:

Insert the filter into the jug, ensuring that the filter is secure. There is a circular ridge in the base of the jug to indicate correct placement of the filter. The lid will hold the filter in place. Add your chopped ingredients to the jug (OUTSIDE of the filter) and then add your liquid or stock to the jug to the required level.

Note: All liquids added to the soup maker must be at room temperature and must not be above the maximum or below the minimum levels marked on the side of the jug. Do not use the Smooth Soup or Chunky Soup functions to reheat the soup.

WARNING: Ingredients that contain high levels of starch or sugar can easily stick to the heating plate and burn. Take extra care.

The cooking time for ingredients stored at a room temperature of 18 °C is approximately 20-30 minutes.

Note: the above timing relies on uninterrupted operation. Restarting will result in the cooking stages being repeated which may affect the final recipe.

Any ingredients which need to be added during the cooking process can be added through the food chute in the center of the lid. Do not unlock or remove the lid as this will stop the program.

To completely stop the program at any time, simply press the Start/Stop button. Once the program has finished, the soup maker beep and stop heating.

WARNING: Heat/steam will be emitted from the lid. Care must be taken when removing the lid and food chute. Your soup can be poured straight from the jug.

To reheat previously prepared soup, simply set up the soup maker as previously described and add the cooked soup to the jug ensuring the volume is no more than the maximum level. Connect the soup maker to the main power supply and press the Start/Stop button. Ensure that the lid is correctly fitted and press the reheat button.

The soup maker will heat the soup until it reaches the optimum temperature of 50^ C -60°C, ready to serve. The alarm will then sound.

The time taken to complete this process will depend on the original temperature and volume of the soup added but should take approximately 5-8 minutes.

Note: the reheat process is NOT a cooking function; all soup used with this function must be precooked.

The keep warm function will keep the soup or liquid at 50^ C and will lightly blend every 10 minutes to avoid the soup burning. The program can run for 2 hours, allowing you to enjoy your soup at your convenience.

The soup maker can also be used as a blender. Simply set up the soup maker as before and add your ingredients for blending.

Note: It is important that your ingredients reach a minimum depth of 3-4cm so that the blade can blend them easily.

Connect the soup maker to the mains power supply and press the Start/Stop button. Make sure the lid is correctly fitted and press the blend button to start the BLEND program.

The blend cycle is a repeating 20-25 seconds high-speed blend with a slight rest. To stop the cycle press Start/Stop button.

Note: If the lid is removed during the blending process, the program you have chosen will stop working. Press the Start/Stop button again to reactivate the program.

Cleaning and Maintenance
