Can I remove the lid mid-cycle?
Yes, but the power will be immediately cut to the
blending blade for your safety. Power will also be
cut to the control panel, so you will need to start
the programme again from the beginning, after
replacing the lid.
Can I use my Soup Maker to make
anything other than soup?
No. The 4 available programmes are set to make
perfect soup and drinks from scratch. Follow the
recipes and adapt them to your own taste.
Can I use uncooked meat in soup recipes
made in my Soup Maker?
You should first cook meat separately before
transferring into your Soup Maker with additional
ingredients from your recipe, as the Soup Maker
is only designed to gently heat the soup.
What is the capacity of my Soup Maker?
The capacity of your Soup Maker is 1.6L. This is
marked on the inside and outside of the base.
Ensure you do not fill your Soup Maker above this
line, otherwise the overfill detector will cut the
power to the blending blade and the LED screen
(10) will display ‘E1’. If this happens,
simply remove some of your ingredients so the
1.6L fill mark is not exceeded and wipe clean the
Over Fill Sensor (6) on the Lid (2). Ensure your
ingredients (including liquid) are above the 1.3L
line, failure to do this will impair the blending
function.
Can I change the times on the smooth and
chunky soup settings?
No. The times for these settings are preset.
Can I reheat soup I have already made, or
reheat tinned/carton soup?
No. The programmes are set to make perfect
soup from scratch. The soup could burn to the
base of the element causing damage to the
product.
What if my Soup Maker stops working?
Your Soup Maker is fitted with a safety
thermostat, which cuts the power and stops the
product from working to prevent overheating if it
is used continuously on 3 or more cycles. If this
happens, remove any food from the jug and allow
the Soup Maker to cool for 30 minutes and you
can continue making your soup.
If the blend function is used continuously for
more than 20 seconds a safety cut out will cut the
power to prevent overheating. When this happens
wait for 10 seconds before reusing the blend
function.
Can I make cold soups like Gazpacho in
my Soup Maker?
Yes, but you will first need to cook the soup using
either the chunky or smooth soup setting. Then
simply allow to cool or refrigerate before enjoying.
What if food burns on the base of my
Soup Maker?
Due to the starch and sugars present in some
foods, a slight burning may occur if they are
placed in direct contact with the inside base of
the jug. To prevent this, add half a cup of water or
stock to the Soup Maker before placing in any
solid ingredients. Then top up with the remaining
liquid specified in your recipe.
The Soup Maker is not dishwasher safe, but it is
simple and easy to clean. After use, simply wash
the Motor Housing (7) and Mixing Blade (8) with
warm water, and wipe with a sponge. DO NOT
immerse in water. The inside of the Soup Maker
Jug (3) can also be cleaned with warm soapy
water and a sponge. If food is burned on, allow to
soak and then wipe away with a sponge. Wipe
the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth.
Certain food types can burn if in contact
with the base heating element. If this
happens, fill the Soup Maker with hot
soapy water and allow to soak for 15
minutes. Any burnt on food can then
easily be removed with a coarse sponge
cleaning pad. Do not use a metal scouring
pad as this will scratch the base.
After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly.
WARNING: DO NOT immerse the lid or jug in
water, as this contains electrical components
that can be damaged by water. Do not allow
water to get onto the electrical connections. Dry
thoroughly before use.
