ingredients.

1. Prepare the ingredients for your recipe.

2. Assemble your soup maker on a at, stable, level surface.

3. Plug your soup maker in to a mains supply socket. Press the on/off button to select
standby mode. The display will show 88 and ash.

4.  Set the cooking time. When the display stops ashing use the increase timer button
to set the desired cooking time in minutes. Each press of the button will increase
the time by one minute. You can hold the button down to increase the time more
rapidly. You can use the decrease timer button in the same way to decrease the time.
Note that the time can be altered at any stage during the cooking process using the
increase/decrease buttons.

5.  Frying/sautéing. If the recipe requires you to fry or sauté ingredients (such as
onions or garlic), add a little oil to the heating plate. If using butter, add a little oil to
the butter to prevent it from burning. Press the SIMMER/SAUTÉ button and allow the
plate to heat up. Add the ingredients and cook as necessary. Press the STIR button
as required during cooking to mix the ingredients.

6. Cooking cycle. Add all of the remaining ingredients according to the recipe and
press the HIGH button. Your soup maker will quickly bring the ingredients to a
vigorous boil. The cooking cycle can then be amended by pressing the LOW or
SIMMER/SAUTÉ button. A built-in safety feature ensures that after several minutes
on the HIGH setting, your soup maker will automatically switch to the simmer/sauté
setting and the SIMMER/SAUTÉ button will light up. Press the STIR button at any
time during cooking to mix the ingredients. Don’t press and hold the STIR button for
longer than 10 seconds.

7. After the set time has elapsed and the cooking cycle has nished your soup maker
will beep six times and enter Keep Warm mode. The status light will change to white
to show that your soup maker is in the keep warm mode. The keep warm mode lasts
for 40 minutes after which your soup maker will switch to standby mode. To exit keep
warm mode, press the on/off button.

8.  Blending cycle. WARNING:Thelidandstopper/measuremustbettedbefore
blending. You can only blend the soup once the timer has elapsed and the heating

cycle has nished. To end the heating cycle early, use the decrease timer button

to set the timer to 00. If your soup maker is in the keep warm mode, press the on/
off button to exit keep warm mode. Press the on/off button again to enter standby
mode then blend your soup or sauce by setting the blending control to the 1 or 2
position. You can also use the Pulse position. For your safety, settings 3 and 4 are
not available when processing ingredients over 70°C.

9. After blending, remove the jug from the base unit by rotating the jug until the
unlocked ( ) icon on the collar lines up with the triangle symbol ( ) on the base

unit. Lift the jug off the base unit. The jug, collar, heating plate and the heating
element in the base unit will be HOT—handle with care!

NOTES

When sautéing, pressing the STIR button can cause ingredients that are too chunky to

become jammed. If this happens, wait until the ingredients have softened before using

the STIR function again.

During cooking, the heater will switch on and off to maintain temperature. The bubbles
formed during cooking may increase and decrease when this happens.

For chunky soup, blend using the STIR button to pulse the ingredients until the desired
consistency has been obtained.

Ingredients can be added to the jug during cooking by removing the stopper/measure.

However, we do not recommend removing the stopper/measure when your soup maker
is on the HIGH setting. Always handle with care and beware of escaping steam from
this area during use.
