Select the required time, this can be adjusted throughout the cooking process, but a
n
time must be selected to start the heater initially.
To fry ingredients such as onions or garlic, add butter or oil first before switching on
n
heat mode.
Make sure you place the butter on the heating plate rather than the blades. Select
n
low heat setting to melt butter. If frying onions and garlic, add and cook until
softened, replacing lid.
The appliance may smoke a little and release a slight odour during first use, this is
n
normal.
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
n
and bring to the boil.
When making soup, only fill the contents of the glass jar to 1400 ml mark. Once
n
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.
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
n
and timer has been exited. When ready, simply blend soup on level 1 until desired
consistency is achieved and serve.
