If you have any questions about the use of your
Soup Maker, check the list below where we have
answered some of the more common
frequently-asked-questions (FAQ’s). If you require
further help, please contact our Helpline: 0344
871 0944.
Does the heating function work when I
remove the lid?
No. Removing the lid cuts the power to the unit
for maximum safety. The heating function only
activates when you have placed on the lid and
selected either smooth or chunky soup
programs.
Can I remove the lid mid-cycle?
Yes, to add ingredients or seasoning if required.
See ‘Add It’ on page 6 for more information.
Can I use my Compact Soup Maker to
make anything other than soup or
smoothies?
No. The available programs are set to make
perfect soup and drinks from scratch. Follow the
recipes and adapt them to your own taste.
Can I use uncooked meat in soup recipes
made in my Soup Maker?
You should first cook meat separately before
transferring into your Soup Maker Compact with
additional ingredients from your recipe, as the
Soup Maker Compact is only designed to gently
heat the soup which is not sufficient for cooking
raw meat.
What is the capacity of my Soup Maker?
The capacity of your Soup Maker Compact is 1L.
Ensure you do not fill your Soup Maker Compact
above the MAX line, otherwise the overfill detec-
tor will cut the power to the Blade (9) and the LED
screen (14) will display ‘E1’. If this happens, sim-
ply remove some of your ingredients so the MAX
fill mark is not exceeded and wipe clean the Over
Fill Sensor (7) on the Lid (3). Ensure your ingredi-
ents (including liquid) are above the MIN line, fail-
ure to do this will impair the blending function.
Can I change the times on the smooth and
chunky soup settings?
No. The times for these settings are preset.
Can I reheat soup I have already made, or
reheat tinned/carton soup?
No. The programs are set to make perfect soup
from scratch. The soup could burn to the base of
the element causing damage to the
product.
What if my Soup Maker Compact stops
working?
Y
our Soup Maker Compact is fitted with a safety
thermostat, which cuts the power and stops the
product from working to prevent overheating if it
is used continuously on 3 or more cycles. If this
happens, remove any food from the jug and allow
the Soup Maker Compact to cool for 30 minutes
and you can continue making your soup.
If the blend function is used continuously for
more than 20 seconds a safety cut out will cut the
power to prevent overheating. When this happens
wait for 10 seconds before reusing the blend
function.
If the error code E1 appears on scree, the jug has
been overfilled, removed some ingredients until
the level is between the Max & Min mark.
Can I make cold soups like Gazpacho in
my Soup Maker?
Yes, but you will first need to cook the soup using
either the chunky or smooth soup setting. Then
simply allow to cool or refrigerate before enjoying.
What if food burns on the base of my
Soup Maker?
Due to the starch and sugars present in some
foods, a slight burning may occur if they are
placed in direct contact with the inside base of
the jug. To prevent this, add half a cup of water or
stock to the Soup Maker Compact before placing
in any solid ingredients. Then top up with the re-
maining liquid specified in your recipe.
