Frequently Asked Questions - T12067 Tower

Can I use uncooked meat in the soup maker?

No, you must first cook the meat separately (e.g., brown lamb) before adding it to the soup maker with other ingredients.

What is the capacity of the soup maker?

The Tower Soup Maker has a capacity of 1.6 litres. Always keep ingredients and liquids between the min and max fill lines.

Can I remove the lid during cooking?

If you remove the lid during a programme, the soup maker will automatically power off. You will need to reset the function and start again.

Why is my soup maker overflowing?

This usually happens if the water level exceeds the maximum fill line. Ensure you fill only up to the max line marked inside the jug.

How do I clean the soup maker?

Unplug and let cool. Do not immerse in water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth, rinse the lid in soapy water, and clean the jug using the Blend function with warm soapy water. The blades are sharp, so take care.

Can I blend after the cooking programme ends?

What does the Juice programme do?

The Juice programme runs for 2 minutes and blends ingredients without heating, ideal for smoothies, milkshakes, or cold drinks. Do not place ice cubes in the jug.

Can I make stock in the soup maker?

Yes, you can make stock by combining bones, vegetables, and water. Use the Chunky programme (28 min) which heats without blending, then strain afterwards.

Can I freeze soup made in the soup maker?

What should I do if the soup maker stops working?

Check that it is plugged in and the lid is securely fitted. If the problem persists, contact Tower Customer Support at [phone] or visit www.towerhousewares.co.uk.

5. It is important to clean your Soup Maker before first use or if it has not been used for a long period of time.
6. When you first use your Soup Maker you may notice some smoke/vapour emitting from the lid, this is normal and is simply grease that is used on some parts of the appliance applied during the manufacturing process. After using a few times this will stop.

Using your appliance

2. Chop your ingredients into pieces, no larger than 1.5 - 2.5cm.

1. Place all the ingredients into the jug. Ensure all of your ingredients do not surpass the Soup Max Fill line on the jug.
2. Top up the ingredients with liquid, filling up to between the max and min lines marked on the jug.

NOTE: To prevent food from burning, ensure some liquid is added to the soup maker before the solid ingredients are put in. Once the solid ingredients are in, add in the rest of the liquid, up to the Min fill line.

Your Soup Maker Programmes:

SMOOTH

Use the Smooth programme to produce a thorough mix and blend of ingredients. The programme will run for 21 minutes and is ideal for such classic dishes as Tomato and Basil Soup.

CHUNKY

Recipes which make use of bold chunks of meat and veg can use this setting. The Chunky programme will only heat the contents, it doesn't perform any blending, so make sure to chop the ingredients to your preferred size. The smaller the chunks the better the spread of heat throughout the dish. This programme has a runtime of 28 minutes.

JUICE

If smoothies or milkshakes are your thing your Soup Maker can handle them easily. Juice is a 2 minute programme that will blend your ice cream or fruit/vegetables perfectly. The ingredients are not heated so all kinds of drinks can be made.

NOTE: Do not place ice cubes into the Soup Maker.

BLEND

Additional Blending. This setting allows you to further blend the soup, if required. This function works without additional heating of the soup. To access this function after cooking, you will need to unplug your Soup Maker before re-plugging into the mains. This resets the Soup Maker, allowing you to select the Blend Setting with the Mode Button.

When highlighted, press and hold the Select ON/OFF Button to blend the contents of the jug.

NOTE: To preserve the life of the motor, we recommend blending in 30 second intervals.

LED Screen:

Your Soup Maker utilises 3 different processes to create fresh soups and drinks; heating, blending and resting. These processes are highlighted during the programme with a small animation on the LED Screen.

HEATING

The heating animation will appear in motion when the Soup Maker is heating the contents of the jug.

BLENDING

The blending animation will be displayed when the Mixing Blade is in use. When switching from heating to blending the Soup Maker will give off a single audible beep.

RESTING

During the programme the Soup Maker will occasionally 'rest', at which point no animation will be shown, but the timer on the LED Screen will continue to count down. This is normal.

NOTE: During the resting period do not lift the Lid as this will void the programme. Once the process is completed the soup maker will beep for 60 seconds and the screen will display the 'completed' icon.

COMPLETED

When completed, your Soup Maker will show the same animation as resting, but the timer will be at '0' and all four icons on the panel will flash.

Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your Soup Maker:

• Prepare as many of your ingredients as possible in advance.
- Add a little olive or vegetable oil and water to the bottom of the jug before adding ingredients that are high in starch or sugar, to avoid them burning to the bottom of the jug.
- Once you've added all the ingredients to the jug, stir with a wooden spoon before fitting the lid and turning the soup maker on.
- Make a full batch of soup at a time and freeze your leftovers to enjoy later in the week. When freezing soup, leave it to chill overnight in the fridge before putting it into the freezer.
- Layer softer, lighter ingredients like lentils or chopped tomatoes on top of heavier ingredients such as potato. This stops the lighter ingredients from being pressed down into the bottom of the jug and the blades too much.
- If your soup seems too thin, lower the amount of liquid you are adding. Reducing the liquid will give you thicker soup.
- Never fill the soup maker above the maximum fill line and always make sure it isn't under the minimum fill line either. The Tower Soup Maker is as easy to use as a kettle, and in this instance it abides by the same rules.

Healthy Options for Wholesome Soup:

• Using vegetable stock as your liquid addition gives the soup a great added flavour.
• Sauté onions and garlic in vegetable oil for a healthier option rather than oil before adding to your soup maker.

• Certain vegetables increase in antioxidant content when they're cooked. For a real health boost, make soups that include these vegetables: carrots, spinach, green and red peppers, asparagus, broccoli and red cabbage.

• For a boost to your immune system include these ingredients in your healthy soups: garlic, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and kale.

• Include potato to bulk up a soup, add some energizing carbs and to fill you up a little more. This will also thicken the soup naturally.
• Garnish your soup with fresh basil, which is thought to ease stress and help with problem skin.
• For low fat soups, replace crème fraîche or soured cream with low fat fromage frais
  • Always remember to season your soup with salt and pepper after cooking.
• When you've finished cooking your soup and you're getting ready to serve it, try adding some fresh herbs or a dollop of fresh yoghurt or cream - the fresh ingredients will really highlight the delicious flavours in the soup.

Making Stock:

Good quality stock can help give soup a delicious, flavourful taste. For some soups, you may wish to omit stock and just use water. For others, a stock cube thrown in with the rest of the ingredients and topped up with water will do. Making your own stock is nutritious and economical.

Safety Features:

The appliance is fitted with a number of safety features, for added peace of mind when creating delicious soups.

• The built-in overspill sensor will automatically shut the device off if it starts to overboil, as well as prevent the soup maker from starting if too much liquid is detected inside the unit.
• The intelligent control systems prevent the contents from drying out and burning
• An audible notification clearly indicates when the program is complete, for added peace of mind and ease of use.
