If you have any questions about the use of your
Soup Maker, check the list below where we have
answered some of the more common
frequently-asked-questions (FAQ’s). If you require
further help, please contact our Helpline:
0344 871 0944.
Does the Heating Function work when I
remove the Lid?
No. Removing the Lid cuts the power to the unit
for maximum safety. The Heating Function only
activates when you have placed on the Lid and
selected either Smooth or Chunky soup
programs.
Can I remove the Lid mid-cycle?
Yes, to add ingredients or seasoning if required.
See ‘Add It’ on page 7 for more information.
Can I use my Soup Maker to make
anything other than soup or smoothies?
No. The 4 available programs 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 which is
not sufficient for cooking raw meat.
What is the capacity of my Soup Maker?
The capacity of your Soup Maker is 1.6L. Ensure
you do not fill your Soup Maker above the MAX
line, otherwise the Overfill Sensor
(12)
will cut the
power to the Serrator Blade
(14)
and the Handle
LED screen
(8)
will display ‘E1’. If this happens,
simply remove some of your ingredients so the
MAX fill mark is not exceeded and wipe clean the
Overfill Sensor
(12)
on the Lid
(11)
. Ensure your
ingredients (including liquid) are above the MIN
line, failure to do this will impair the Blend
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 programs 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
before continuing.
If the Blend Function is used continuously for
more than 20 seconds, a safety feature 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.
Can I use my Soup Maker without using
the scales?
Yes, the scales are to be used as required. If you
prefer, add ingredients using a recipe as a guide
for solid (g) to liquid (ml) ratio. Do not fill above
the MAX 1.6L line.
