Specifications

n 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

n If you are blending hot ingredients, speed 1 should be sufficient. As a safety feature, speeds 3 and 4 will not

operate if the contents of the glass jar are above 60°C.

n The ‘Pulse’ function will still operate at 60-120°C, but the pulse speed will automatically be reduced at these

temperatures to avoid any risk of burning splashes. This is normal.

n As a safety feature, the blending function will not operate at all if the temperature inside the glass jar is above

120°C. If you attempt to use the blending dial when the temperature inside the glass jar is over 120°C it

will not function - instead the LED lights on the ‘Low’ ‘Simmer’ and ‘High’ functions will flash. You should set

the blending dial back to the ‘OFF’ position and wait a moment until the temperature inside the glass jar has

cooled and then try using the blending dial again.

Blending Cold Contents

n When using the blender for cold ingredients, start on the lowest speed and gradually increase the speed to 4

or until you have the desired consistency.

D Making Soup

n Place the base on a level and sturdy surface.

n Place the glass jar on the base and plug the unit into an appropriate mains socket.

n To fry ingredients such as onions, garlic or other vegetables, rst add some butter or oil before the unit starts

heating up.

n Make sure the butter goes on to the heating plate and not on the blades. Use a low temperature to melt the

butter.

n Press the ‘On/Off’ button to put the unit into ‘stand-by’ mode.

n Set the cooking time. The cooking time can be changed at any time during the cycle.

n Sauté/fry your vegetables, watching the ingredients don’t burn.

n To mix the ingredients, use the ‘Stir’ button on the control panel.

n Add the other ingredients (vegetables, stock, bouillon and herbs or spices), increase the temperature to High

and bring to a rapid boil.

n When you are preparing soup or cooking with the Soup Maker, only ll the glass jar to the 1400ml level.

Once your ingredients are boiling, reduce the heat to Low or Simmer and allow to cook through.
