Safety Features
Your Soup Maker is equipped with the following safety features to ensure safety when blending hot liquids.
n
As a safety measure, the blender speed may only be activated when the cooking process is complete. You can
however, use the ‘SLOW STIR’ function at any stage during the cooking process.
n
If the temperature inside the glass jar is below 60°C, all 4 blending speeds and the pulse function can be
operated.
n
If the temperature inside the glass jar is between 60-120°C only speeds 1 and 2 on the blending dial can be
operated.
n
If the temperature inside the glass jar is over 120°C, the blending dial will be completely deactivated. If you
attempt to use the blending dial when the temperature inside the glass jar is over 120°C it will not function -
instead the LED lights on the ‘SAUTE, ‘SIMMER’ and ‘HIGH’ functions will flash. You should set the blending dial
back to the ‘OFF’ position and wait a moment until the temperature inside the glass jar has cooled and then try
using the blending dial again.
n
The unit is fitted with a thermostatic control to monitor the temperature during use. This means that the
temperature will cycle during use which is normal.
n
If the blender function is used for longer than 3 continuous minutes, the unit will shut itself down. This is the
maximum time for the motor.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overload the Soup Maker. If the motor stalls, turn the Soup Maker off immediately, unplug the
unit and carefully remove a portion of the food before continuing.
