Smooth Setting
The ‘SMOOTH’ setting gently
cooks the ingredients to the correct
temperature and then automatically
blends to the right consistency for a
smooth result.
This setting runs for 21 minutes and
the soup can be poured straight
out to serve.
Alternatively, if further blending is
desired, see the ‘BLEND’ or
‘PULSE’ settings.
Chunky Setting
The ‘CHUNKY’ setting is a heat-only
setting (no blending) and cooks the
ingredients until heated through.
The setting runs for 28 minutes before
the soup is ready to serve and enjoy.
Alternatively, if some blending is
desired, see the ‘BLEND’ or
‘PULSE’ settings.
It is recommended when using the
‘CHUNKY’ setting to cut any
vegetables and meat into small
dice sized pieces.
Blend Setting
The ‘BLEND’ setting is a blend-only
setting without heating that assists,
if required, to further blend finished
Smooth or Chunky soup to a desired
consistency. This setting will blend
intermittently over a 2 minute period
when chosen.
Alternatively, the ‘BLEND’ setting is
also perfect for creating smoothies,
milkshakes and iced drinks.
Soup Maker Setting Guide
Pulse Setting
The ‘PULSE’ setting is a blend-only
setting without heating that assists,
if required, to further manually blend
finished Smooth or Chunky soup to
a desired consistency. Unlike the
‘BLEND’ setting, ‘PULSE’ is a manual
setting and, when chosen, will only
blend while your finger is pressed
down onto the ‘START’ button.
The ‘PULSE’ setting is also good
for creating smoothies, milkshakes
and iced drinks.

Troubleshooting Guide
Issue Problem Solution
The soup maker
shuts off during
the cooking
process before
cooking is finished
• The soup maker is equipped
with safety overheat
protection in the form of a
sensor that detects if the soup
maker is getting too hot and
will automatically turn the
soup maker off. The sensor
is located in the base of the
soup maker and may be
triggered by the contents of
some recipes, such as foods
that are high in starch or sugar,
‘settling’ to the bottom of the
soup maker during the heating
process covering the base
causing the temperature rise.
You may find that the food
settling leaves a burnt residue
on the base of the soup maker
(see burnt residue issue).
• ^To help prevent settling, add
more liquid content to the
recipe, especially if cooking
sugary or starchy foods. Note:
This may require adding less
food content in order to
accommodate.
• Fill the soup maker close to
the MAX indicator line marked
inside the soup maker and
only add cold or at least tepid
liquids (i.e. cold broths, not
hot) into the soup maker.
• Give all ingredients a good
stir prior to placing the soup
maker motor/lid on the soup
maker.
Burnt residue on
the base of the
soup maker
• Bottom of soup maker has a
burnt mark and is difficult to
clean.
• High sugar content or starchy
foods such as tomatoes,
creamed corn, coconut
cream, potatoes have stuck to
the base of soup maker.
• Flour added to the recipe has
left a burnt residue in the base
of the soup maker.
• To remove residue burnt to
the base, follow the cleaning
instructions under Residue
Removal from Base found
on page 19 of this instruction
manual.

Issue Problem Solution
Soup maker is
making ‘noise’
and/or shaking
during operation
• The soup maker does make
some noise and may shake
somewhat during operation.
This is normal.
• The soup maker blends
during the cooking process
when using the ‘SMOOTH’,
‘BLEND’ or ‘PULSE’ settings. This
blending action causes the
unit to shake.
Plastic measuring
jug inside the
soup maker
• The soup maker comes
with a plastic measuring jug
accessory which can be found
inside the soup maker when
first removed from packaging.
DO NOT operate the soup
maker with the measuring jug
inside.
• Unsure how to attach/remove
measuring jug handle.
• The plastic measuring jug
without handle attached
sits inside the soup maker for
shipping and storage purposes
only. Always remove the
measuring jug before using the
soup maker.
• To attach/remove the
measuring jug handle, slide
the handles in or out of the
slot found on the side of the
measuring jug.
Troubleshooting Guide continued
NOTE: We recommend that
you do not add flour to the
soup maker as it can cause
food to burn to the bottom of
the soup maker.
^NOTE: If the cooking process
is interrupted for any reason
during operation, for safety
reasons there is no automatic
reset button on the soup maker.
The program will need to be
reset and start the cooking
process from the very beginning
of the program selected.

19
Cleaning
Before cleaning, turn the power off
at the power outlet and then remove
the removable power cord. Carefully
remove the motor body/lid from the
soup maker.
Motor Body/Lid, Stainless
Steel Shaft and Blades
The stainless steel blending shaft
and blades attached to the motor
body/lid should be hand washed in
hot soapy water, rinsed and dried
thoroughly after each use, being
careful not to get the control panel
wet. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
steel wool.
IMPORTANT:The
stainless steel blades are
extremely sharp, handle
with care!
To remove any food residue on the
motor body/lid, wipe the motor body/
lid with a damp cloth only. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Never
immerse the motor body/lid in water
or any other liquid.
Soup Maker
The soup maker should be hand
washed by filling the soup maker
with hot soapy water, wiping with a
sponge and then rinsing and drying
thoroughly after each use. Wipe the
outside of the soup maker with a soft,
dry cloth.
Never immerse the soup maker in
water or any other liquid. When
rinsing, be careful to keep the power
Care, Cleaning and Storage
inlet away from the pouring tap.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or
steel wool.
Cleaning Residue from Base
For stubborn stains, such as burnt
residue on the base of the soup
maker caused by food settling to the
base, fill the soup maker with normal
tap water to between the MIN and
MAX lines, then add 4-5 tablespoons
of salt (if salt is not available, 250ml of
vinegar), set the soup maker to the
‘CHUNKY’ setting and press the START
button. Let the soup maker operate
for at least 15 minutes, pour the water
content out and then run the soup
maker under cold water to cool. A
thorough scrub with a plastic scourer
should lift the mark.
As an alternative method or for very
stubborn stain removal, clean with
#Gumption ® Multi-Purpose Paste
Cleaner which can be found at most
supermarkets. Follow the instructions
on the Gumption packaging. Be sure
to thoroughly clean and rinse all the
paste from the soup maker before
reusing.
NOTE: # Gumption ® instructions
state not to use on stainless
steel appliances which can be
scratched; the soup maker has
a brushed stainless steel internal
finish so scratching should not
be an issue.
