Assembling the appliance
Detachable cap
 Put the cap into the hole located on the cover.
 Make sure that the measuring cap is locked before proceeding with the
assembly of the appliance. The lock symbols on the lid need to be facing
towards the back of the appliance in line with the handle for the appliance to
funcon correctly.
Jug
 Hold the jug by its handle in your right hand.
 Carefully put the jug on the motor unit ensuring that it is securely aached to
the motor unit.
 To remove the jug from the motor unit and pour your mix, just push the jug
forward, holding it by the handle as shown in the diagram.
Aenon! If your jug contains hot food, beware of
possible projecons when removing it.
 Place the cover over the jug and turn it
clockwise to lock it.
 Your appliance can now be used.
Note: The soup maker and blender has a built in
double security system. The appliance will only work
if every part is correctly installed and if the contents
of the jug reaches or covers the overow protecon
sensor the appliance will automacally switch o.
Once the appliance has nished operang, allow me for the measuring jug to cool
down as the unit is ed with a temperature sensor. You can do this by placing ½
pint of lukewarm water in the measuring jug and leave to stand for 10 minutes. DO
NOT use cold water as this could cause thermal shock to the heang element and
damage the heang element.

To clean them, we recommend you to rub them with some oil and wash them again.
Helpful ps for use
 Cut the solid food into 2cm cubes before mixing them.
 To get the best result when mixing solid food, process small quanes rather
than mixing everything together at the same me.
 When mixing liquids such as soups, smoothies ,milk shakes etc., begin with a
small quanty of liquid and then add lile by lile through the hole in the
