Maintenance
n
After use, switch the Soup Maker off and unplug from the mains socket. Lift the glass jar up and away from the
motor base, holding the handle only. Do not twist the jar.
n
Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
n
Periodically check all parts before reassembly. If any part is damaged or jar is chipped or cracked,
DO NOT USE
THE SOUP MAKER. Contact the Cuisinart Customer Care Line (See “UK After Sales Service” section).

CAUTION:
Blade is very sharp. Handle with care.
n
To clean the complete Glass Jar Assembly (glass jar, cooking plate and collar) firstly ensure the part has cooled
after cooking. Simply add approximately 0.5L of warm water and a little washing up liquid to the glass jar. Set
the timer for two minutes and press the ‘SIMMER’ button. When the water is hot turn the heater off; blend liquid
on speed 1 for 1 minute. Repeat using clean water. This may help release any food that maybe on the underside
of the blades. Alternatively, wash the glass jar in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NB:
Do not use excessive amounts of washing up liquid.
NB:
Ensure both the glass jar and the electrical socket underneath the jar are thoroughly dry before connecting to
the Soup Maker base.
n
To clean the non-stick base we recommend the use of a bottle scrubbing brush which makes it easy to clean
underneath the blades.
n
To clean the lid and measuring cup, wash in hot soapy water.
n
Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on the housing base. Apply any cleaning agent to the cloth, not the base.
n
Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquid, or place in a dishwasher.
n
Make sure all the parts are clean and dry before storing.
n
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the Soup Maker. Instead, coil loosely by the side of the appliance.
n
Never immerse the plug, lead or housing in water or any other liquid.
n
Never immerse the glass jar in water or put cold water in the jar straight after heating; allow it to cool down
first.
