Question 1

Should I remove the rubber covers from the E connectors of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B?

Accepted Answer

No, you should not remove the rubber covers from the E connectors. These elements are integral protective seals of the locking and electrical connection system of your Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B.

When assembling, you simply need to ensure that the two connectors (D and E) are properly aligned when repositioning the motor block onto the bowl. These rubber covers ensure:

Correct sealing between the motor block and the bowl
A safe and reliable electrical connection
No liquid leakage during operation

If these rubber covers are dirty, simply clean them with a damp sponge while cleaning your appliance. If they are damaged or if the appliance no longer seals properly even after aligning the connectors and cleaning, contact the authorized technical service for a replacement of the seals.

Question 2

What are connectors D and E of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B and what are they for?

Accepted Answer

Connectors D and E are the two essential junction points between the motor block and the bowl of your Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B:

Connector D: located on the motor block (upper part)
Connector E: located on the bowl (lower part)

These connectors serve two important functions:

Electrical transmission: they transmit electrical power from the motor block to the blades and the heating system
Safety locking: they ensure that the device is properly assembled before operation

Before plugging in your device, always check that both connectors D and E are properly aligned during assembly. Note that connector E is covered with protective rubber that forms integral seals of the system - do not remove them.

Question 3

How to check if the lid of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B is properly closed?

Accepted Answer

To check if the lid of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B is properly closed and locked correctly, here are the points to verify:

Alignment of connectors D and E: This is the main indicator. When repositioning the motor block on the bowl, ensure that the two connectors (recesses) marked D and E are properly aligned. Correct alignment ensures secure locking.
Motor block locked: The motor block must be stable and well positioned on the bowl. It should not move or become misaligned when assembling.
Device on a flat surface: Place the assembled device on a stable surface and check that it rests flat, without tilting.

If the lid (motor block) does not seem to be properly locked or if the device tilts, check the alignment of connectors D and E before plugging in the device. Never start a program if the motor block is not completely locked onto the bowl.

Question 4

What is the maximum temperature reached by the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B?

Accepted Answer

The Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B reaches 100°C during its automatic cooking cycles.

This maximum temperature applies to all cooking programs:

P1 (Velouté Soup): 100°C - duration 23 minutes
P2 (Thick Soup): 100°C - duration 25 minutes
P3 (Compote): 100°C - duration 20 minutes

The Blend (P5) program operates without heating. As for the automatic cleaning (P4), it includes a heating cycle but does not reach 100°C.

This temperature of 100°C allows soups and compotes to reach boiling, ensuring thorough cooking while preserving textures. This is why you should only add delicate ingredients (milk, cream) at the end of the cycle, using the Blend function.

Question 5

What quantity of vegetables should be put in the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B?

Accepted Answer

The quantity of vegetables depends on the program used and the desired result:

For soup programs (P1 and P2)

Fill the bowl between the minimum and maximum levels marked on the bowl, up to a maximum capacity of 1.2 liters. This range is essential for optimal motor operation and the safety of the appliance.

Prepare your vegetables by cutting them into 2 cm cubes before adding them. Always pour the vegetables first, then complete with other ingredients (rice, meat, broth) up to the required level.

For the compote program (P3)

You can add up to 800 grams of fruit, with a minimum of 150 ml of liquid to ensure good mixing.

Important

Thaw the ingredients before placing them in the bowl for optimal results.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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

Accepted Answer

The Keep Warm function of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B is an automatic keep warm mode that activates at the end of each cooking program (P1, P2, or P3). It allows you to keep your preparation warm without manual intervention, ideal if you are not ready to serve immediately.

Automatic operation:

At the end of the cooking program, the device emits a sound signal.
It automatically switches to Keep Warm mode for exactly 40 minutes.
The Keep Warm indicator (P6) lights up on the control panel to indicate that this function is active.
After 40 minutes, the device automatically turns off.

Practical utility: This function is very useful if you have other tasks to complete after cooking: setting the table, adding fresh ingredients (cream, herbs), or preparing the bowls. You can also use the Mixing program (P5) during the keep warm phase to refine the texture of your soup without fear of it cooling down.

Important: If you interrupt the main program by pressing the start/stop button or opening the motor block, the Keep Warm mode will not activate. You will need to restart the cooking cycle after allowing the device to cool for at least 20 minutes.

Question 10

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.
