LED Screen:
Your Soup Maker utilises 3 different processes to create fresh soups and drinks; heating, blending
and resting. These processes are highlighted during the programme with a small animation on the
LED Screen.
HEATING -
The heating animation will appear in motion when the Soup Maker is heating the
contents of the Jug.
BLENDING -
The blending animation will be displayed when the Mixing Blade is in use. When
switching from heating to blending the Soup Maker will give off a single audible beep.
RESTING -
During the programme the Soup Maker will occasionally ‘rest’, at which point no
animation will be shown, but the timer on the LED Screen will continue to count down. This is
normal.
NOTE:
During the resting period do not lift the Lid as this will void the programme. Once the
process is completed the soup maker will beep for 60 seconds and the screen will display the
‘completed’ icon.
COMPLETED -
When completed, your Soup Maker will show the same animation as resting, but the
timer will be at ‘0’ and all four icons on the panel will flash.
1.
Begin by washing your vegetables (i.e. potatoes, carrots).
2.
Chop your ingredients into pieces no larger than 1.5 – 2.5cm.
3.
Remove the lid of your Tower Soup Maker and add all ingredients into the serving jug. Ensure
all of your ingredients do not surpass the Soup Max Fill line on the jug.
4.
Top up the ingredients with liquid.
5.
Once all of your ingredients have been added to the Soup Maker, place the lid back on the
serving jug, making sure it is securely in place.
6.
Once the cooking time has finished, check the consistency of the soup. You can use the blend
button at the end of cooking to ensure your soup is made to your desired consistency.
7.
Unplug the Soup Maker and remove the lid, being careful to avoid any steam that it may emit.
Using the handle, pour the soup into bowls to serve.
Tips for getting the most out of your Soup Maker:
•
Prepare as many of your ingredients as possible in advance.
•
Add a little olive or vegetable oil and water to the bottom of the jug before adding ingredients
that are high in starch or sugar, to avoid them burning to the bottom of the jug.
•
Once you’ve added all the ingredients to the jug, stir with a wooden spoon before fitting the lid
and turning the soup maker on.
•
Make a full batch of soup at a time and freeze your leftovers to enjoy later in the week. When
freezing soup, leave it to chill overnight in the fridge before putting it into the freezer.
•
Layer softer, lighter ingredients like lentils or chopped tomatoes on top of heavier ingredients
such as potato. This stops the lighter ingredients from being pressed down into the bottom of
the jug and the blades too much.
•
If your soup seems too thin, lower the amount of liquid you are adding. Reducing the liquid will
give you thicker soup.
•
Never fill the soup maker above the maximum fill line and always make sure it isn’t under the
minimum fill line either.
