Using your Soup Maker for Blending Hot Ingredients

After cooking, you may want to blend your recipe to achieve a puréed or smooth consistency. As a safety feature
n
the blending dial can only be activated when the cooking process is complete.
Ensure the lid and measuring cup are correctly fitted, ensuring the pouring spout on the jar is covered by the
n
protrusion on the lid.
N.B The maximum capacity when blending hot ingredients is 1.4L. Do not exceed this.
Check that the Soup Maker is in standby mode (see section 2A).
n
Turn the rotating dial on the control panel to activate the blend function.
n
The blender speed ranges from '1' (low) to '4' (high). However, as a safety feature, only settings 1 and 2 can be
n
used when blending hot ingredients. Select the speed you wish to use by turning the dial clockwise. You can
reduce the speed by turning the dial anticlockwise. Start on the lowest speed and gradually increase the speed
until you have the desired consistency.
The 'PULSE' setting cannot be activated when blending hot liquids (over 60°C).
n
You may add more ingredients during blending but we would recommend pausing blending, and adding
n
ingredients either by removing the lid or via the measuring cup. Replace the lid and measuring cup before
resuming blending to prevent liquid escaping.
WARNING: There may be a lot of steam when the lid or cup are removed. To avoid burning, cover with a cloth or
take particular care when removing either parts.
Turn the blender control dial to the 'OFF' position once the desired consistency is reached.
n
Do not use the blender for more than 3 continuous minutes. This is the maximum time for the motor. If the
n
blender function is used for longer than 3 continuous minutes, the unit will shut itself down.
After blending, unplug from the mains socket and then lift the jar up and away from the motor base holding the
n
handle only. Do not twist the jar.
Remove the lid and pour your recipe.
n
Do not store food or liquid in the glass jar. Empty and clean thoroughly after use (see Cleaning & Maintenance
n
section).
