UK Wiring Instructions The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE YELLOW & GREEN = EARTH As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colour marking identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N.
The Soup Maker Glass Jar Assembly Before first use, clean the glass jar thoroughly (see cleaning & maintenance section on page 15). NB: The appliance may smoke a little and release a slight odour during first use, this is normal. The glass jar assembly is one complete unit which includes glass jar, handle, cooking plate and collar.
Lid & Measuring Cup To remove the lid from the glass jar, grip the edges of the lid firmly with one hand and lift upwards. When you have added the required ingredients to the jar, place lid on jar before heating and blending. To replace, simply position over the jar and press down firmly (ensure the pouring spout on the jar is covered by the protrusion on the lid).
Heat Control After having set the time, press the desired heat control. There are 3 possible settings: o Simmer: up to 80°C - use to simmer soups and liquids o Low: up to 90°C - use to brown base ingredients o High: up to 110°C - use to bring liquids to the boil When you’ve selected the desired temperature, the unit will start the cooking cycle immediately for the programmed time.
Do not use the blender for more than 3 continuous minutes. This is the maximum time for the motor. If the blender function is used for longer than 3 continuous minutes, the unit will shut itself down. Blending Hot Contents If you are blending hot ingredients, speed 1 should be sufficient.
NB: The unit uses a thermostat control to increase and decrease the heat during cooking. When the cooking time has elapsed, the unit will beep 4 times. To blend the soup, use the blend function; this can only be used once the unit is no longer heating and the timer has stopped.
Hints & Tips Add butter or oil to the non-stick heating plate and allow to melt before frying vegetables. If soup recipes call for cheese or cream to be added at the end of the recipe, don’t allow to boil. Most soup will actually be hot enough to melt the cheese using just the stir function rather than adding more heat.
Cleaning & Maintenance Always unplug the appliance from the mains socket before cleaning. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before reassembly. If any part is damaged or jar is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE THE SOUP MAKER.
