HOW TO USE
PARTS & ACCESSORIES
Screen
This is essentially a filter that fits inside the blender (wide end pointing down). The
screen is used if you are making soup where you want some ingredients blended
and some left chunky. Anything inside the screen gets blended. Anything outside the
screen stays chunky.
Measuring cup
Useful for measuring small quantities of ingredients. This cup fits into the
jar lid
and
locks into place by turning it clockwise. Note: The
measuring cup
can be removed
while the soup maker is working, but please be very careful of hot steam an occasional
splashes!
Jar Lid
It is very important that the
jar lid
is fitted properly or the soup maker will not function.
This is a safety feature. To fit the jar lid, align the protruding tag with the top of the jar
handle, then turn clockwise to lock it into place.
Blender Jar
The jar (with lid fitted) should be properly fitted to the
base
or the soup maker will not
function. Take note of the graduations on the side of the jar. The max capacity for hot
soup is 1.2L. The max capacity for cold juice/blending is 1.5L
Try it out
With the jar lid properly fitted and the jar fitted to the base, ensure the
blender
control
is in the STOP position. Connect the soup maker to the mains supply. The
soup maker will beep and the ON/OFF light will flash red. Ignore that for the moment.
Try the blender control
Put a cup full of water into the blender jug. The blender should never be operated
when empty as it can damage the bearings. The
blender control
can be turned to
the left for blender pulse action (it springs back to the STOP position when released).
Turning to the right gives you 2 speeds for blending.
Try fitting the steamer accessory
This accessory can be used to steam small quantities of food eg fish or shrimp etc.
To fit the steamer, remove the lid and drop the steamer into the blender jar using the
built-in handle.
Note
: for the steamer tray to fit properly, align the rectangular bump
on the inside surface of the steamer tray to the spout of the blender jug.
