Using your Soup Maker for Blending Cold Ingredients

Prepare your ingredients.
n
Add your ingredients and then replace the lid and measuring cup, ensuring the pouring spout on the jar is covered
n
by the protrusion on the lid.
N.B The maximum capacity when blending cold ingredients is 1.75L. Do not exceed this.
Plug the unit into an appropriate mains socket. The 'ON/OFF' button will begin to flash.
n
Press the 'ON/OFF' button and it will stop flashing. The unit is now in 'stand-by' mode and is ready to use.
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). Select the speed you wish to use by turning the dial clockwise.
n
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 blender also has a 'PULSE' setting which can be activated by turning the dial anticlockwise from the 'OFF'
n
position.
You may add more ingredients during blending but we would recommend pausing, then adding ingredients either
n
by removing the lid or via the measuring cup. Replace the lid and measuring cup before resuming blending to
prevent liquid escaping.
If you want to achieve a thicker consistency for your recipe, instead of using speeds 1-4, blend using the pulse
n
function for total control. Turn the dial to 'PULSE' and watch closely until the ingredients reach your desired
consistency.
N.B. Pulses should be short bursts, making sure you allow the blades to stop rotating in between each pulse.
Do not use the blender for more than 3 continuous minutes. This is the maximum time for the motor. If the blender
n
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).
