BEFORE FIRST USE:
Read all instructions and safety information
carefully before rst use. Please retain this

before rst use or if it has not been used
for a long period of time.
6. When you rst use your Soup Maker
you may notice some smoke/vapour
emitting from the Lid, this is normal and
is simply grease that is used on some
parts of the appliance applied during the
manufacturing process. After using a few
times this will stop.
USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Ensure the Soup Maker is unplugged
from the mains.
2. Remove the Lid. Be careful NOT to touch
the Mixing Blade.
WARNING! Sharp Blades.
3. Place all the ingredients into the Jug.
Add the liquid last, lling up to between
the max and min lines marked on the
Jug.
4. Place the Lid back onto the Jug ensuring
it is securely in place.
5. Plug into the mains. The icons will ash
in sequence.
6. Press the Mode Button to select the
programme. The icon will illuminate.
7. To start the Soup Maker, press the Select
On/Off Button. The Soup Maker will
beep and begin the cooking process.
The cooking time will be displayed and
start to count down.
8. When nished, the Soup Maker will beep
for 60 seconds and all four icons will
ash.
9. Unplug from the mains, remove the Lid
and pour the fresh soup into a bowl.
Your Soup Maker Programmes:
Smooth - Use the Smooth
programme to produce a thorough
mix and blend of ingredients. The
programme will run for 21 minutes and is
ideal for such classic dishes as Tomato and
Basil Soup.
Chunky - Recipes which make use
of bold chunks of meat and veg
can use this setting. The Chunky
programme will only heat the contents, it
doesn’t perform any blending, so make sure
to chop the ingredients to your preferred size.
The smaller the chunks the better the spread
of heat throughout the dish. This programme
has a runtime of 28 minutes.

9
www.pifco.co
Juice - If smoothies or milkshakes
are your thing your Soup Maker
can handle them easily. Juice is
a 2 minute programme that will blend your
ice cream or fruit/vegetables perfectly. The
ingredients are not heated so all kinds of
drinks can be made but
Note: Do not place ice cubes into the Soup
Maker.
Blend - Additional Blending. This
setting allows you to further blend
the soup, if required. This function
works without additional heating of the
soup. To access this function after cooking,
you will need to unplug your Soup Maker
before re-plugging into the mains. This resets
the Soup Maker, allowing you to select the
Blend Setting with the Mode Button. When
highlighted, press and hold the Select ON/
OFF Button to blend the contents of the Jug.
Note: To preserve the life of the motor,
we recommend blending to be done in 30
second intervals.
LED Screen:
Your Soup Maker utilises 3 different processes
to create fresh soups and drinks; heating,
blending and resting. These processes are
highlighted during the programme with a
small animation on the LED Screen.
Heating - The heating animation will appear
in motion when the Soup Maker is heating the
contents of the Jug.
Blending - The blending animation will be
displayed when the Mixing Blade is in use.
When switching from heating to blending the
Soup Maker will make a single audible beep.
Resting - During the programme the Soup
Maker will occasionally ‘rest,’ at which point
no animation will be shown. But the timer on
the LED Screen will continue to count down.
This is normal.
Note: During the resting period do not lift
the Lid as this will void the programme. Once
the process is completed the soup maker
will beep for 60 seconds and the screen will
display the ‘completed’ icon.
Completed - When completed, your Soup
Maker will show the same animation as
resting, but the timer will be at ‘0’ and all four
icons on the panel will ash.
1. Begin by washing your vegetables (i.e.
potatoes, carrots).
2. Chop your ingredients into pieces no
larger than 1.5 – 2.5cm.
3. Remove the lid of your Soup Maker and
add all ingredients into the serving jug.
Ensure all of your ingredients do not
surpass the Soup Max Fill line on the jug.
4. Top up the ingredients with liquid.
5. Once all of your ingredients have been
added to the Soup Maker, place the lid
back on the serving jug, making sure it is
securely in place.

6. Once the cooking time has nished,
check the consistency of the soup. You
can continue to use the pulse button at
the end of cooking to ensure your soup
is made to your desired consistency.
7. Unplug the Soup Maker and remove the
lid, being careful to avoid any steam that
it may omit. Using the handle, pour the
soup into bowls to serve.
Tips for getting the most out of your Soup
Maker:
• Prepare as many of your ingredients as
possible in advance.
• Add a little olive or vegetable oil and
water to the bottom of the jug before
adding ingredients that are high in starch
or sugar, to avoid them burning to the
bottom of the jug.
• Once you’ve added all the ingredients to
the jug, stir with a wooden spoon before
tting the lid and turning the soup maker
on.
• Make a full batch of soup at a time and
freeze your leftovers to enjoy later in
the week. When freezing soup, leave it
to chill overnight in the fridge before
putting it into the freezer.
• Layer softer, lighter ingredients like
lentils or chopped tomatoes on top of
heavier ingredients such as potato. This
stops the lighter ingredients from being
pressed down into the bottom of the jug
and the blades too much.
• If your soup seems too thin, lower
the amount of liquid you are adding.
Reducing the liquid will give you thicker
soup.
• Never ll the soup maker above the
maximum ll line and always make sure
it isn’t under the minimum ll line either.
The Tower Soup Maker is as easy to use
as a kettle, and in this instance it abides
by the same rules.
Healthy Options for Wholesome Soup:
• Using vegetable stock as your liquid
addition gives the soup a great added
avour.
• Sauté onions and garlic in vegetable
oil for a healthier option rather than oil
before adding to your soup maker.
• Certain vegetables increase in
antioxidant content when they’re
cooked. For a real health boost, make
soups that include these vegetables:
carrots, spinach, green and red peppers,
asparagus, broccoli and red cabbage.
• For a boost to your immune system
include these ingredients in your healthy
soups: garlic, sweet potatoes, tomatoes
and kale.
• Include potato to bulk up a soup, add
some energizing carbs and to ll you
up a little more this will also thicken the
soup naturally.
• Garnishing with fresh basil, which is
thought to ease stress and help with
problem skin.
• For low fat soups, replace crème fraîche
or soured cream with low fat fromage
frais
• Always remember to season your soup
with salt and pepper after cooking.

11
www.pifco.co
• When you’ve nished cooking your
soup and you’re getting ready to serve
it, try adding some fresh herbs or a
dollop of fresh yoghurt or cream - the
fresh ingredients will really highlight the
delicious avours in the soup.
Making Stock:
Good quality stock can help give soup a
delicious, avourful taste. For some soups,
you may wish to omit stock and just use
water. For others, a stock cube thrown in with
the rest of the ingredients and topped up
with water will do. Making your own stock is
nutritious and economical.
For those recipes that you want to go the
extra mile with, we’ve got a great basic
vegetable stock recipe for you. See Page 14.
