Making Soup
n
Place the housing base onto a flat, sturdy surface.
n
Assemble the Soup Maker jar and plug into a suitable mains outlet.
n
Press the on/off button to set the Soup Maker to ‘standby’ mode.
n
Select the required time, this can be adjusted throughout the cooking process, but a
time must be selected to start the heater initially.
n
To fry ingredients such as onions or garlic, add butter or oil first before switching on
heat mode.
n
Make sure you place the butter on the heating plate rather than the blades. Select
low heat setting to melt butter. If frying onions and garlic, add and cook until
softened, replacing lid.
n
The appliance may smoke a little and release a slight odour during first use, this is
normal.
n
To mix the onions or garlic, use the stir button on the control panel.
n
Add the remaining ingredients (vegetables, stock and seasoning etc) and set on a high heat
and bring to the boil.
n
When making soup, only fill the contents of the glass jar to 1400 ml mark. Once
boiled reduce heat to simmer, set timer and leave to cook.
N B The heater works with a thermostat and so heat will increase or decrease
accordingly and bubbles will become bigger or smaller during cooking.
n
When cooking time has finished the Soup Maker will beep 4 times.
n
To blend soup, use the blend function; this can only be used once the heat mode
and timer has been exited. When ready, simply blend soup on level 1 until desired
consistency is achieved and serve.
