BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove the appliance and all accessories from the packaging.
• Place the packaging inside the box and either store or dispose of safely.
• Clean all surfaces thoroughly by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth using a mild
detergent.
• DO NOT immerse the unit or the jug in water or any other liquids.
• DO NOT run water directly onto the cooking surfaces.
• Dry the surfaces with a cloth or paper towel.
CAUTION!
THE JUG CONTAINS VERY SHARP BLADES AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE
AT ALL TIMES.
Stainless steel removable lter:
The lter is for creating two dierent kinds of soup;
The function of the lter is to protect solid ingredients from the blade when blending
soup. Any ingredients you would like to remain solid should be placed on the OUTSIDE
of the lter. Any ingredients that require blending should be placed INSIDE the lter
where they will be in direct contact with the blade. If you would like completely smooth
soup with no solid ingredients then you can LEAVE THE FILTER OUT COMPLETELY and all
ingredients will be blended together.
Chunky soup- To create a thicker, chunkier soup you must place the solid ingredients-
meat/sh/vegetables outside of the stainless steel lter and into the main area of the
plastic jug.
Smooth soup- To create a thinner soup place solid ingredients- meat/sh/vegetables
inside the stainless steel lter. This will expose the ingredients directly to the blade
which will blend them into smaller pieces creating a smooth soup.

TO USE THE AUTOMATIC/PRE-SET COOKING OPTION:
• There are five pre-set programmes (see pg.5) that can be used to make smoothies or soup.
• First, chop all your ingredients into approximately 2-3cm cubes and add to the soup maker
jug, either within or outside of the Stainless Steel filter (see pg.7).
• Only use pre-cooked meats or sh when using the soup maker and do not use any
frozen ingredients. All ingredients must be at room temperature when adding to
the soup maker.
• Add your preferred liquid or stock to the jug, making sure it is not hot.
• Make sure that the total volume of ingredients added is above the minimum line on the
jug.
• Also ensure that the total volume of ingredients is not more than 1.2 litres as the internal
sensor near the base of the jug must be covered with liquid.
• Note: Under filling the jug will result in the alarm sounding and the unit failing to operate.
• Place the lid onto the top of the jug, making sure that you align the lock open symbol on
the lid with the mark on the top of the handle. Once aligned, turn the lid in the direction
of the arrows until the lid lock symbol aligns with the lock symbol on the jug handle
Note: For correct positioning, the arrows on the lid and top of the handle must point
TOWARDS EACH OTHER and not in the same direction.
• Ensure the measuring cup is fitted to the centre of the lid and locked into position.
• When everything is positioned correctly, connect the appliance to the mains power
supply.
• When you switch on the appliance at the mains power supply wall socket, you will hear an
audible alarm, indicating that the appliance is on and the display panel will show 8888.
• You can now choose your preferred cooking method (see diagram or pg.5 for all options).
• Note: The number of the programme that you have selected will show up on the screen
(see diagram).
• Note: Only room temperature liquid should be poured into the unit, even when re-
heating. Pouring hot liquid or other ingredients into the appliance may result in a heating
malfunction.

TO USE THE MANUAL COOKING FUNCTION
You can set the soup maker to manual which allows you to choose the speed, temperature
and cooking time. Follow the steps below if you wish to use this method. Do not press the
Start/Stop button until all selections have been made. Manual cooking and Pre-set cooking
are separate options and cannot be used together.
Once you have turned the soup maker on you can go into manual mode by following the
below instructions:
• IMPORTANT- When using the manual function it is recommended that you observe the
instructions from the recipe you are following. This includes temperatures and cooking
time.
• Once all the options have been selected press the ‘Start/Stop’ button to begin the cooking
process.
• NOTE: Any ingredients can be added during the cooking process by removing the
measuring cup from the centre of the jug lid. Do not unlock the jug lid as this will stop the
programme.
• To completely stop any of the programmes at any time, press the ‘Start/Stop’ button.
• When the cooking or blending is complete, the appliance will sound an audible alarm
and stop heating. NOTE: If this alarm doesn’t sound when the programme should be
complete; check the unit. Turn off and unplug from the mains. Check appliance for any
signs of fault, if nothing can be found and problem persists then please refer to a qualified
repair technician.
• Your soup can be poured straight from the jug ready to eat. Take care when removing the
lid from the jug as it will be very hot.
• WARNING! Heat and steam will be emitted from the lid when removing from the
appliance. Care must be taken when removing the lid and measuring cup from the centre
of the lid.
USING THE DELAY BUTTON
The delay button is a cooking timer. Use this only if you wish to delay the start of your
cooking selection, e.g. set the delay button to 7 hours and then set your pre-set or manual
programme. The soup maker will then count down from 7 hours, after which time it will
begin the cooking programme that you selected.

easily achievable. Simply press the‘Keep Warm/Reheat’ button. The indicator light will

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
SOUP BLENDER 17
AFTER SALES SUPPORT 0871 911 7003 support@bvg-airflo.co.uk
If you experience any problems with your Soup Maker you must rst ensure that
all the instructions have been correctly followed in the set up and use of the unit.
Regular cleaning and checks to the unit will eliminate the chance of errors occurring.
• Ensure that all ingredients are chopped into pieces no larger than 2-3cm cubes.
• Taking care of the sharp blade, check that there are never chunks of food blocking the
filter or blade of the unit (do not use your fingers to check the blade).
• All ingredients that you add to the soup maker must be put in at room temperature. If
ingredients are too hot this may cause a failure in the units heating function or cause the
programme to malfunction and run over the set time.
• Never pour hot liquid into the machine, this may cause an error. Ensure that all liquid
being poured into the machine is at room temperature.
• If you find that the soup is burning or catching in the base of the jug, try reducing the
amount of starchy vegetables and/or increasing the volume of liquid used in your recipe.
• For smooth operation, ensure that the ingredients within the Soup Maker are always
poured above the minimum fill level.
• Take care not to over fill the unit - the maximum it will hold is 1.2 litres.
• NOTE: Once the unit is in operation, take care that all the ingredients remain below the
max fill line. Ingredients can bubble over this line during cooking time and may cause the
overflow sensor to activate and an error to occur.
