Q: What is the purpose of and how to use the Blend button on the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B?

The Blend button (program P5) activates a non-heating blending cycle, operating in 5 cycles of 25 seconds of blending alternated with 15 seconds of pause, for a total duration of about 4 minutes . This program is ideal for preparing smoothies, sauces, purees, and mayonnaises at room temperature, or to refine the texture of a soup after a cooking program (P1, P2, or P3). It allows you to use the Easy Soup LM841B as a classic blender independently of any cooking cycle. How to use it: Fill the bowl between the MIN and MAX levels (maximum capacity 1.2 liters). For hard ingredients, cut them into cubes of 2 cm maximum . Ensure you have an appropriate liquid/solid balance: if there is too much solid matter or not enough liquid, the blending will not be optimal. Blend the ingredients well in the bowl before starting the program. Press the Blend button and the cycle starts immediately without heating. Practical tip: If after a cooking program your soup is not smooth enough, you can restart program P5 to achieve a creamier and more homogeneous texture.

Question 1

With the blend function, do I necessarily have to fill between the minimum and maximum level?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the blending program (P5) of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B, it is important to respect the minimum and maximum levels indicated on the bowl. However, this requirement mainly applies when you start the program directly with raw ingredients, as the MIN-MAX levels are calibrated for optimal motor operation and the safety of the appliance.

For P1 and P2 (heating programs): the MIN-MAX levels must be strictly adhered to, as the heating system and safety sensors are calibrated for this filling range.
For P5 (blending only): P5 is generally used AFTER a cooking program to refine the texture of your soup or compote and give it a smoother consistency. In this case, the content you are going to blend already respects the appropriate levels since it comes from a previous cooking.

If you use P5 directly with raw ingredients, be sure to fill the bowl between the minimum and maximum level for optimal operation. For best results, cut hard ingredients into 2 cm cubes and thaw frozen fruits and vegetables before use.

Question 2

What can be blended with the blend function of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B?

Accepted Answer

The blend function (P5) of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B is a standalone blending program that allows you to prepare much more than just soups. You can use it to make smoothies, sauces, purees, or to refine the texture of an existing preparation by making it smoother and creamier.

The blending program operates on a cycle of 6 repetitions of 15 seconds on and 15 seconds off, without heating. It can be started directly after filling the bowl, or used after another program to refine your preparation. For example, if you are making a chunky soup (P2) and find it still too coarse, you can run it again on P5 to achieve a more homogeneous texture.

Regarding the foods you can use with blend, you have great freedom. Frozen foods are accepted, but it is recommended to slightly thaw them before putting them in the bowl for better results. Harder ingredients (dried fruits, almonds, solid caramel) should be cut into cubes of a maximum of 2 cm before blending to avoid overloading the motor.

It is important to respect the MIN and MAX levels marked inside the bowl. The filling level should not exceed the upper limit (up to a maximum of 1.2 liters) to ensure optimal operation. When pouring liquid (water, milk, juice), make sure that the ingredients are well distributed at the bottom of the bowl and that the contents do not reach the MAX level.

Here are the best practices for optimal use of the blend: first pour the fruits or vegetables into the bowl, then add the liquid (milk for a smoothie, broth or water for a sauce), and then start the P5 program. If your ingredients do not blend properly, it is often because there is too much solid matter or not enough liquid: adjust the proportions and restart the program. For very thick preparations (purees of fruits or cooked vegetables without much liquid), you can slightly increase the proportion of liquid to facilitate blending.

Question 3

Can the blend function of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B be used as a regular blender?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the blend function (P5) of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B can be used as a regular blender, even though this device is primarily a blender-cooker. It allows you to prepare smoothies, sauces, and purées outside of soup cooking.

However, to use this function correctly as a standard blender, you must follow a few recommendations:

Respect the filling levels: Fill the bowl between the minimum and maximum levels indicated to avoid overloading the motor.
Prepare hard ingredients: Cut harder ingredients into small pieces before blending for better results.
Frozen foods: The device accepts frozen foods, but it is recommended to let them thaw slightly beforehand for better results.

The blend function thus transforms your device into a versatile blender, without limiting its other soup preparation capabilities.

Question 4

What is the purpose of the Keep Warm function on the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Should the squash be peeled before using it with the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B?

Accepted Answer

The manual for the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B does not specify whether the squash should be peeled before use. However, here are some practical recommendations:

For most squashes: it is recommended to peel the squash before putting it in the appliance. Here’s why:

Devices of this type - even with 5 blending cycles (20s ON / 10s OFF) in Smooth Soup mode - cannot always completely reduce thick peels into fine puree
If the skin does not blend completely, you will end up with a grainy soup instead of a smooth texture
Fibrous peels can also get stuck around the blades

Recommended preparation: peel the squash, cut it into 2 cm pieces (as indicated in the manual), and pour it into the bowl. If you have a very tender variety of squash (like Hokkaido squash), you may keep a very thin peel, but this is not guaranteed.

Question 9

Why does my MOULINEX EASY SOUP LM841B blender whistle during blending?

Accepted Answer

A whistling sound from your MOULINEX EASY SOUP LM841B blender during blending can have several causes:

1. Steam Escape

When preparing hot soups, the steam generated can escape through the lid's openings, producing a whistling sound. Check that the lid is properly closed and that the seal is in good condition to allow for proper steam release.

2. Too Hard or Excessive Ingredients

Hard chunks or overfilling can strain the motor and cause unusual noises, including whistling. It is advisable to cut ingredients into smaller pieces and not exceed the maximum capacity indicated.

3. Wear or Mechanical Issue with the Motor

A persistent and abnormal whistling may indicate a mechanical issue, such as bearing wear or a motor malfunction. If the noise does not go away after checking the previous points, it is best to stop the device and consult an authorized service center to avoid further damage.

In summary, a whistling sound can be normal in the case of steam escape, but if it is continuous or accompanied by other abnormal signs, a technical check is recommended.

Question 10

Why does my MOULINEX EASY SOUP LM841B blender only run two times instead of five during the soup program?

Accepted Answer

If your MOULINEX EASY SOUP LM841B blender only completes two blending cycles instead of the five expected during the soup program, several causes may explain this behavior:

1. Check assembly and safety

Make sure the bowl is securely attached to the base and that the lid is properly locked. The safety system prevents full operation if these elements are not in place.

2. Quantity and consistency of ingredients

An excessive volume or too thick a texture may prevent the motor from functioning normally. Try reducing the amount of ingredients or cutting them into smaller pieces before starting the program.

3. Power supply

Check that the appliance is properly plugged in and that the outlet is functioning correctly. A power issue may interrupt the blending cycle.

4. Resetting the appliance

Unplug the blender for a few minutes, then plug it back in. This may reset the system and correct a temporary malfunction.

5. Technical defect or wear

If the problem persists despite these checks, it is possible that the motor or electronics has a defect. In this case, it is recommended to contact MOULINEX customer service for repair or further diagnosis.

In summary, start by checking the assembly, the quantity of ingredients, and the power supply, then attempt a reset. If the problem continues, consult a professional to avoid further damaging your appliance.
