h The surfaces of the appliance will get hot.

Take care when adding hot liquid, as it may be ejected due to sudden steaming.

Unplug the appliance before assembly, disassembly, or cleaning.

Don’t leave the appliance unattended while plugged in.

If you overﬁll, boiling liquids may be ejected.

Use the jug only with the motor unit supplied (and vice versa).

Ensure the appliance is in standby mode before removing the jug.

If the cable is damaged, return the appliance, to avoid hazard.

will be hot.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

HOW IT WORKS

• Put the ingredients in the jug.

• Choose a program.

• Come back in half an hour (soup)/an hour (sauce), adjust the seasoning, and eat.

• As it’s a combination of a blender and a heater, you can also use it to blend, make smoothies, crush ice,

or even boil potatoes.

POSITIONING

1. Sit the motor unit on a water-resistant, dry, stable, level surface.

2. Press the lid lock, and lift the lid oﬀ the jug.

3. Squeeze the jug lock into the handle, and lift the jug oﬀ the motor unit.

Don’t run the motor without the cup, ingredients may be ejected through the hole.

FILLING

1. Normally, you should switch the appliance to standby (2), remove the jug from the motor unit, and

remove the lid from the jug, before ﬁlling the jug.

2. There are two MAX marks inside the jug. MAX, at 1.75 litres, for cold ingredients, and SOUP MAX, at

1.4 litres, for hot ingredients, like soup or sauce, where the ingredients will expand, when heated

3. To add ingredients while the appliance is working, remove the cup, add the ingredients via the hole in

the lid, then replace the cup.

POWER UP

1. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).

2. The appliance beeps. The 2light ﬂashes. Press the 2button until the light stays on.

1. If you want to brown meat and/or vegetables before making soup, put 30ml oil or a large knob of

butter in the bottom of the jug, add the meat/vegetables, replace the lid and cup.

2. Press L, cook for 1 minute, then press and release Y, to stir things up a bit.

ADDING INGREDIENTS

4. Squeeze the jug lock into the handle, and lift the jug oﬀ the motor unit.

5. Pour the contents into a serving dish.

6. Replace the jug on the motor unit.

HINTS AND TIPS

• If a recipe requires cheese or cream to be added, do this at the end of the program, to prevent

curdling. There will normally be suﬃcient heat left in the soup to melt cheese.

• For uniform cooking, cut everything except cheese into cubes of 1.5-2.5cm.

• Cut cheese into cubes no larger than 1.5cm.

• Smoothies taste better when made with chilled ingredients.

• Homemade soups may be refrigerated for 24 hours, or frozen for up to 4 weeks.

• Be sparing with seasonings before cooking, then taste and adjust before serving.

• For best results, use no more than 6 ice cubes in the ice crushing program.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Switch oﬀ (2) and unplug the appliance before cleaning.

2. Clean as soon after use as possible, to avoid residue build-up.

3. Handwash the lid and cup, rinse, and air dry.

4. Wipe the outside of the motor unit and the inside and outside of the jug with a damp cloth.
