1. Check that the base of the soup maker is clean before each cycle.
2. Always fill the stainless steel jug above the min. fill mark, whilst making sure not to exceed the max. fill mark. Exceeding the max. fill mark may activate the overfill sensor, causing the soup maker to stop working and preventing the ejection of hot liquid during operation.
3. Never connect the soup maker to the mains power supply until the required ingredients have been added.
4. Do not operate the soup maker when the stainless steel jug is empty.
5. Never allow any liquid into the connection on the underside of the lid. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the connection, dry thoroughly with a paper towel before fitting.
6. The soup maker uses a safety cut-out thermostat which may operate from time to time to prevent it from overheating. The safety cut-out thermostat may operate when the stainless steel jug is used empty, when/if the liquid content has evaporated before the end of the cycle or when ingredients are sticking to the base of the stainless steel jug. If the safety cut-out thermostat operates, the soup maker will not heat up or generate any further heat. Please allow the soup maker to cool for approx. 5-10 minutes after each use. Remove the soup and clean the base of the stainless steel jug.

Care and Maintenance

Switch off and unplug the soup maker from the mains power supply before performing any cleaning or user maintenance. STEP 1: Wipe the soup maker and the overfill sensor with a soft, damp cloth then allow it to dry thoroughly. STEP 2: Wash the inside of the stainless steel jug and the inside of the lid with warm, soapy water and then rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe away any remaining food with a soft cloth and a mild detergent before rinsing again. Never touch the blender blade; using extreme caution, clean the blade with a brush and dry carefully. Do not immerse the soup maker in water or any other liquid. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents or scourers to clean the soup maker, as this could cause damage. Note: Pre-clean the soup maker using the auto-clean function, following the instructions in the section entitled 'Auto-clean Function'. Caution: Handle the blender blade on the underside of the lid with care as the blade is sharp. Exercise caution when attaching, removing, cleaning or storing the blender blade.
