OPERATION
This soup maker has been designed to create either smooth or chunky soups. It also features a reheat function
allowing precooked soups to be reheated, ready to serve. It is fitted with several safety features including an
interlocking lid cut-out; a minimum liquid sensor; a hot liquid overflow sensor and a safety micro-switch cut-off
on the motor base.
The built in blender blades can also be used to allow the soup maker to be used solely as a blender to make
smoothies, purees, dips and dressings.
Before using the soup maker for the first time wipe down the jug and lid with a damp cloth using a mild
detergent.
Caution: The jug contains very sharp blades and should be handled with care
at all times. Do not immerse the soup maker or jug in water or any other
liquids
Place the base unit of the soup maker on a heat-resistant, stable surface. Carefully position the jug on the base
unit aligning the connections in the base of the jug handle with those in the base unit. The jug should sit
securely on top of the base unit.
Fit the lid to the soup maker by aligning the lock open symbol on the lid with the datum 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 datum
mark.
Ensure the filter lid is fitted to the top of the jug lid.
When everything is correctly positioned, connect the soup maker to the mains power supply and press the
on/off button to turn the soup maker on. The button will illuminate indicating the soup maker is on.
If at this point the alarm sounds, disconnect the soup maker from the mains power supply and check that the
lid is properly fitted and the fluid level is correct as described on trouble shooting. Once checked, reconnect to
the mains and power up.
To start the cooking process, choose either soup functions based on how much soup you want to make.

Note: The above cooking times are for reference only.
The above pre-set programs rely on uninterrupted operation. Any interruption will result in the cancellation of
the program. Restarting will result in the cooking stages being repeated which may affect the finished result.
If you need to add additional ingredients during the cooking process you can remove the measuring cup
stopper and insert food without interrupting the program.
1. Operation Buttons:
There are 7 operation options: Chunky Soup, Smooth Soup, Steam/Boil, Reheat, Smoothie, Blend and
Pulse.
2. After press the "Start/Stop" button, the indicators flash, then choose the type of cooking operation
required, then the soup maker will start working.
3. Making smooth soup and chunky soup takes around 20-30 minutes. When the cooking or blending is
completed, the soup maker will beep for several seconds.
4. During operation, if the indicators flash and beep continuously, it means there’s a mistake with the
operation or there’s something wrong. Check the following:
1) Lid is not properly locked.
2) No water inside the jug, the anti-dry sensor is activated.
3) Jug is not properly placed in its main body, the safety micro-switch works.
4) Heating base and motor are over-heated, the overloading setting alert. To fix this, separate Jug
and motor housing, let it rest for 5 minutes to cool down. Reassemble and retry.
5) Water or liquids exceed the MAX level, the hot liquids overflow sensor is activated.
6) Water or liquid is less than the MIN level, the Minimum liquid safety sensor is activated.
5. “Pulse” operation:
After pressing the “Start/Stop” button to put the soup maker in STANDY, press and hold the “Pulse”
button. Release the button to stop.
6. Steaming: Pour in water, between the WATER MIN and STEAM MAX marks, into the jug, use the egg
steamer to place the food in to steam, it takes around 15-20 minutes.
7. Boiling: Pour in water, between the WATER MIN and BOIL MAX marks, into the jug, use the egg
steamer to place the food in to steam, it takes around 15-20 minutes.
8. Making soup (making soup from Hard and soft food)
Chop all your ingredients into approximately 2-3cm cubes and add to the soup maker jug.
Caution: It is not recommended to use raw meats in the soup maker. Any
meat or fish must be pre-cooked. Do not add any frozen ingredients.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.

Soup Maker 10451 Instructions for Use

For A Smooth Soup:
Place all your ingredients into the jug, and then add your liquid or stock to the required fill level.
For A Chunky Soup
Insert the filter into the jug ensuring that the filter is secure. There is a circular ridge in the base of the jug
to allow for correct placement of the filter, and will ensure that it is locked in place when the lid is
attached.
Add your chopped ingredients to the jug (outside the filter), and then add your liquid or stock to the jug to
the required fill level.
Note: All liquids added to the soup maker must be at room temperature, and must not be above the
maximum or below the minimum levels as printed on the side wall of the jug. Failure to add enough liquid
to the soup maker will result in the Alarm sounding and the soup maker failing to operate. Overfilling
above the maximum fill lines will cause the hot contents to reach the jug lid. This will activate the upper
sensor and a safety switch will switch off the soup maker to help prevent it boiling over.
The cooking time for ingredients stored at a room temperature of 18 degree Celsius is approximately 20-30
minutes.
Note: the above sequences rely on uninterrupted operation. Any interruption will result in the cancellation
of the program. Restarting will result in the cooking stages being repeated which may affect the final
recipe.
Any ingredients to be added during the cooking process can be added through the food chute in the center
of the lid. Do not unlock or remove the lid as this will stop the program.
To completely stop the program at any time, simply press the Start/Stop button.
Once the program has finished, the soup maker will sound an audible alarm and stop heating.
Your soup can be poured straight from the jug but be careful when removing the lid from the jug as it will
be very hot. We suggest the use of oven gloves.
WARNING: heat/steam will be emitted from the lid. Care must be taken when removing the lid and filter
lid.
9. Reheating
Previously prepared soup that has gone cold can be reheated in the soup maker.
Simply set up the soup maker as previously described and add the cooked soup to the jug ensuring the
volume is no less than the minimum and no more than the maximum.
Connect the soup maker to the mains power supply and press the Start/Stop button.
Ensure the lid is correctly fitted and press the reheat button.
The reheat program will follow the sequence as below:
Mixing- Heating-Mixing-Heating-Mixing
This process will continue to follow the above cycle until the soup is heated and reaches the optimum
WARNING: Ingredients that contain high levels of starch or sugar can
easily stick to the heating plate and burn.

Soup Maker 10451 Instructions for Use

temperature of 55°C -60°C, ready to serve. The audible alarm will then sound.
The time taken to complete this process will depend on the temperature and volume of the soup added
but should take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Note: the reheat process is not a cooking function; all soups used in this process must be precooked.
10. Blending
The soup maker can also be used as a blender; simply set up the soup maker as before and add your
ingredients for blending.
Note: it is important that your ingredients reach a minimum depth of 3-4cm so that the safety cutout
sensor does not activate. But no more than the MAX.
It is NOT possible to blend dry ingredients, as the sensor won’t recognize them.
Connect the soup maker to the mains power supply and press the Start/Stop button. Make sure the lid is
correctly fitted and press the blend button to start the BLEND program.
The blend cycle is a repeating 20-25 seconds high-speed blend with a slight rest. To stop the cycle press the
Start/Stop button.
11. Smoothie
The Smoothie function blends contents smoother suitable for making smoothies. It will stop automatically
after the program has finished. To stop the cycle at any time, press the smoothie button again, or press the
START/STOP button.
