Important
1. Check that the base of the soup maker is clean before
each cycle.
2. Always ll the stainless steel jug above the min. ll mark,
whilst making sure not to exceed the max. ll mark.
Exceeding the max. ll mark may activate the overll
sensor, causing the soup maker to stop working and
preventing the ejection of hot liquid during operation.
3. Never connect the soup maker to the mains power supply
until the required ingredients have been added.
4. Do not operate the soup maker when the stainless steel jug
is empty.
5. Never allow any liquid into the connection on the underside
of the lid. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the connection,
dry thoroughly with a paper towel before tting.

5
6. The soup maker uses a safety cut-out thermostat which may
operate from time to time to prevent it from overheating.
The safety cut-out thermostat may operate when the
stainless steel jug is used empty, when the liquid content has
evaporated before the end of the cycle or when ingredients
are sticking to the base of the stainless steel jug. If the safety
cut-out thermostat operates, the soup maker will not heat
up or generate any further heat. Please allow the soup
maker to cool for approx. 5–10 minutes after each use.
Remove the soup and clean the base of the stainless
steel jug.
Note: The soup maker will not operate unless the lid is
positioned correctly on the stainless steel jug.
The soup maker is tted with a boil-dry function. If the soup
maker is switched on when empty, it will switch off approx. 35
seconds later.
Warning: The soup maker is not suitable for use with packet,
carton, canned or other prepared soups. The soup maker is
designed for the creation of fresh soups and smoothies to be
served upon completion of the built-in soup settings.
Always carry the soup maker by the side handle.
Do not place the soup maker underneath cupboards whilst
in use.
Do not remove the lid until the blades have stopped rotating.
Hints and Tips
1. Make sure that the ingredients are chopped, peeled, sliced
or cubed into small, 2–3 cm pieces.
2. Stir the ingredients before adding the lid, to prevent the
ingredients from sticking to the base of the stainless steel jug.
3. If the alarm sounds, unplug the soup maker and check the
overll sensor on the lid. Clean the sensor and reduce the
amount of ingredients before trying again.

6
4. Remove the contents of the stainless steel jug as soon as the
setting is complete, as the soup maker remains hot after use
and may cause the soup to burn.
5. The soup maker does not reheat soup. Once the setting has
nished, the soup needs to be served or stored appropriately
for future reheating on the hob/in a microwave.
6. Clean the soup maker thoroughly after each use, according
to the instructions in the ‘Care and Maintenance’ section.
Care and Maintenance
Switch off and unplug the soup maker from the mains power
supply and allow it to cool fully.
STEP 1: Wipe the soup maker and the overll sensor with a soft,
damp cloth then allow it to dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the soup maker in water or any other liquid.
STEP 2: To clean the inside of the stainless steel jug and the
inside of the lid, rinse them in clean water to remove any
remaining soup or foodstuff. Wipe away any remaining food
with a soft cloth and a mild detergent before rinsing again.
STEP 3: The ‘Blend/Clean’ setting can be used to remove any
stubborn stains. Add 1300 ml of hot water with a small amount
of mild detergent to the stainless steel jug.
STEP 4: Fit the lid and then press the blend/clean button
continuously until any stains have been removed.
Note: For tough stains, it is recommended to leave hot water
in the soup maker for approx. 10–15 minutes before using the
‘Blend/Clean’ setting. Do not use the ‘Blend/Clean’ setting for
more than 20 seconds at a time.
Caution: The blades under the lid are not removable and are

Using the 1.6 Litre Soup Maker
STEP 1: Before connecting to the mains power supply, position the stainless steel jug
onto a at, stable, heat-resistant surface at a height that is comfortable for the user.
STEP 2: Carefully apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the bottom of the stainless steel
jug. This will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
STEP 3: Chop all of the chosen soup ingredients into approx. 2 cm sized cubes and
place them into the stainless steel jug.
STEP 4: Add the desired liquid or stock to the stainless steel jug, making sure that
the total volume of ingredients is at least 1300 ml (min. ll mark) but no more than
1600 ml (max. ll mark).
STEP 5: After adding all of the ingredients and stock, stir to make sure that the liquid is
evenly mixed. Plug in and switch on the soup maker at the mains power supply; the
soup maker will make an audible beep and the indicator lights will begin to ash.
STEP 6: To use the soup maker, follow the instructions in the relevant
‘Soup Setting’ section.
STEP 7: Once cooking is complete, check that the selected setting has nished and
then switch off the soup maker at the mains power supply.
STEP 8: Carefully remove the lid and transfer the soup into a suitable container; the
lid must be completely removed prior to transferring the soup.
STEP 9: Allow the soup maker to cool sufciently before making a second batch
of soup.
Note: Make sure that any stock is cold before adding it to
the soup maker.
Check that the lid is securely positioned before use.
Do not add any frozen ingredients or uncooked meats or sh
to the soup maker. All ingredients must be thawed and at
room temperature and all meats or sh much be precooked
before use.

9
A slight browning of the internal base may appear when
cooking is complete. This is completely normal and can be
removed during cleaning.
Caution: The soup maker is not designed to reheat soup once
it is made. Reheating can damage the heating element.
Exercise caution when removing the lid after use, as hot
steam will vent out.
Warning: Sharp blades; handle with care. The stainless steel
jug and the lid will get very hot during use; always take care
when touching these components and use the handle
when moving the stainless steel jug.
‘Purée’ and ‘Chunky’ Soup Settings
When making puréed soup, the soup maker will automatically heat and blend
the ingredients.
For chunky soup, the soup maker will automatically heat the ingredients only.

soup setting. Press the on/off button to begin; the indicator light will illuminate and
the soup maker will run for approx. 30 minutes.
STEP 3: Once the setting has completed, the soup maker will beep.
Caution: The purée setting is not designed for making purée
and pastes.
Make sure that all of the ingredients are chopped into the
required size, as the blade does not rotate during use of the
‘Chunky’ soup setting.

10
‘Blend/Clean’ Setting
The soup maker can be used to blend ingredients using the ‘Blend/Clean’ setting.
When this setting is activated, ingredients will not be heated; allowing the ingredients
to be blended to make smoothies, dips and dressings. It can also be used to obtain
the desired consistency after other preset soup settings have elapsed.
STEP 1: To further blend ingredients, press the ‘Mode’ button three times to select
the ‘Blend/Clean’ setting. Press the on/off button to begin; the indicator light will
illuminate and blending will continue until the on/off button is released.
STEP 2: The setting will automatically shut-off after 20 seconds. If further blending is
required repeat the above step.
Note: Do not blend dry ingredients and do not use the
‘Blend/Clean’ setting for more than 3 full cycles without
allowing the soup maker to cool sufciently.
