Product Informaon
The soup maker has been designed to create either smooth or chunky soups. It also features a
reheat funcon allowing precooked soups to be reheated, ready to serve. It is fied 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.
Instrucons for Use
Before using the soup maker for the first me, rinse out the jug and wipe the lid with a damp
cloth. The use of a mild detergent is recommended.
Place the base unit of the soup maker on a heat-resistant, stable surface. Carefully posion the jug
on the base unit aligning the connecons in the base of the jug with those in the base unit. The jug
should sit securely on top of the base unit.
Chop all your ingredients into approximately 2-3cm cubes. Items chopped larger may not cook in
the programmed me.
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 aached.
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 unit will result in the Alarm sounding and the unit failing to operate.
Overfilling above the maximum fill lines will cause the hot contents to reach the jug lid. This will
acvate the upper sensor and a safety switch will switch off the unit to help prevent it boiling over.
Cauon: The jug contains very sharp bladesand should be handled withcare
at all mes. Do not immerse the unit or jug in water or any other liquids
Cauon: It is not recommended to use rawmeatsin the soup maker.Any
meat or fish must be pre-cooked.Do not add any frozeningredients.
Ensure all ingredientsare at room temperature.
WARNING: Ingredientsthat contain highlevelsof starchor sugar can
easily sck to the heang plate and burn.
Once all your ingredients and liquid are added to the jug, fit the lid to the soup maker. Put the lid
in posion and twist clockwise unl the Lock Arrow on the lid is aligned with the arrow on the
handle. Twist the lid an-clockwise to unlock.
Ensure that the measuring cup stopper is fied correctly to the top of the lid.
When everything is posioned correctly, connect the soup maker to the mains power supply and
press the on/off buon. The buon will illuminate indicang the soup maker is on.
If any alarms sound, disconnect the soup maker from the mains power and check that the lid is
properly fied and the fluid levels are correct as described above.
Once checked, reconnect to the mains and power up.

Your soup can then be poured straight from the jug. Take care when removing the lid from the jug
as it will be very hot.
Note: The above pre-set programs rely on uninterrupted operaon. Any interrupon will result in
the cancellaon of the program. Restarng will result in the cooking stages being repeated which
may affect the finished result.

measuring cup stopper and insert food without interrupng the program.
Reheat Program (P3)
Connect your soup maker to the mains power supply and press the Start/Stop buon. Select P3
using the Menu Buon or the +/- buons

opmum temperature of 70°C, ready to serve. An audible alarm will sound as soon as this is
reached.
Note: The Reheat funcon is not a cooking funcon. All soups used in this process must be
pre-cooked first. The reheat program is only recommended for smooth soups, otherwise the
mixing will chop up the chunks. For reheang Chunky soups, please use the manual sengs as
described below.
Blend Program (P4)
The soup maker can also be used as a blender with no heat funcon. Simply set up the soup
maker as before and add your ingredients for blending.
The ingredients must reach a minimum depth of 3-4 cm so that the safety cut-out sensor does

the food to be steamed. The cycle lasts approximately 15 minutes.
Note: If using this program to steam eggs, be sure to prick the eggs prior to steaming. Ensure all
other food is fully cooked prior to consumpon.
“Appoint” (Time Delay)

will increase in 1 minute increments up to a maximum of 99 minutes. The default me is 0 minutes.
“Temp”
Press the Temp buon to enter the cooking temperature seng, followed by the +/- buons. The
