There are many useful pointers in this section. The Goldair Soup Maker/Blender unit has several functions and is a very versatile appliance; experimentation will help you to get the most out of this unit.

5 Operating your Soup Maker/Blender The Soup Maker has two programmed soup settings to create CHUNKY or SMOOTH soups. It also has a REHEAT function enabling precooked soup to be reheated ready to serve. The built-in BLENDER blades allow the soup maker to be used solely as a blender to make smoothies, purees, dips and dressings. The Soup Maker is fitted with several safety features including an interlocking lid cut-out, a minimum liquid sensor,a liquid overflow sensor and a safety micro-switch cut-off on the motor base. Before using the Soup Maker for the first time wipe down the jug and lid with a damp cloth using a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse the unit or the jug in water or any other liquids. CAUTION: the jug contains very sharp blades and should be handled with care at all times. Place the base unit of Soup Maker on a heat-resistant, stable surface. Carefully position the jug on the base unit aligning the connections in the base of the jug handle with those in the base unit. The jug should sit securely on top of the base unit. Fit the lid to the Soup Maker by aligning the lock open symbol on the lid with the datum mark on the top of the handle. Once aligned, turn the lid in the direction of the arrows until the lid lock symbol aligns with the datum mark. There are lid locks on both sides of the lid and both must lock over the corresponding point on the jug. The unit will not work unless the lid is correctly fitted. Ensure the measuring cup stopper is fitted to the top of the lid. When everything is positioned correctly, connect the Soup Maker/Blender to the mains power supply and press the START/STOP button to turn the unit on. If at this point the alarm sounds, disconnect the Soup Maker/Blender from the mains power supply and check that the lid is properly fitted and the fluid level is correct. Once checked, reconnect to the mains and power up.

6 Operating your Soup Maker/Blender, cont Once unit is turned on and ready to use, choose the function you require by pressing the corresponding button on the control panel. The unit will beep 3 times to indicate the cooking process has started. When the cooking or blending is completed, the unit will beep for several seconds and the indicator light will flash. If, during the cooking process, the indicators blink and beep continuously, something irregular has occurred:. Check the following: Lid is not properly locked No liquid in the jug, triggering the overdry sensor Jug is not properly placed in its main body, triggering the safety micro-switch Heating base and motor are overheated, triggering the overload sensor.. Separate jug and motor housing, let it rest for 5 minutes to cool down. Water or liquids exceed the MAXIMUM level, triggering the overflow sensor work. Water or liquid is less than the MINIMUM level, triggering the minimum liquid safety sensor. Note: Cooking times given are for reference only. GENERAL TIPS Add your preferred liquid or stock to the jug; all liquids and stocks used must be at room temperature rather than warm or hot. Make sure the total volume of ingredients added is above the 0.3L minimum but not more than 1.7L maximum. The internal sensor near the base of the jug must be covered with liquid; under filling the jug will result in the alarm sounding and the unit failing to operate. Should the boiling action during cooking cause the hot contents to reach the lid, the upper sensor will switch off the heating function to help prevent boiling over. WARNING: Food high in starch or sugar content can burn onto the bottom element. It is advisable to add these ingredients through the food chute after the liquid has already begun heating. The cooking time for ingredients that have been stored at a room temperature of 18 is approximately minutes, however this is a guide only. NOTE: the cooking sequences rely on uninterrupted operation. Any interruption will result in the cancellation of the program. Restarting will result in the cooking stages being repeated which may affect the final recipe. Any ingredients to be added during the cooking process can be added through the food chute in the centre of the lid. Do not unlock or remove the lid as this will stop the program. To completely stop the program at any time, simply press the START/STOP button. Once the program has finished, the Soup Maker/Blender unit will sound an alarm and stop heating. Your soup can be poured straight from the jug but be careful when removing the lid from the jug as it will be very hot. WARNING: heat/steam will be emitted from the lid. Care must be taken when removing the lid and food chute.

7 Operating your Soup Maker/Blender, cont SMOOTH SOUP/CHUNKY SOUP Smooth Soup takes around 20 minutes Chunky soup or porridge or soy milk takes around 30 minutes. Chop all ingredients into 2-3cm cubes and add to Soup Maker/Blender jug. CAUTION: it is not recommended to use uncooked meats in the Soup Maker/Blender - meat or fish must be precooked. Do not add any frozen ingredients; all ingredients must be at room temperature. PULSE You can use PULSE during the cooking process to blend cooking vegetables. Pressing the STOP/START button places cooking process on standby. After pressing the STOP/START button, press and hold the PULSE button to blend. Release button to stop blending. STEAMING Pour water to between WATER MIN and SOUP MIN/STEAM MAX mark into jug, use the egg/vege holder to place the food to steam. Steaming takes around 15 minutes. BOILING Pour water between WATER MIN and BOIL MAX mark into the jug. Bring water to the boil and insert food into the jug through the food chute by removing the measuring cup in the lid or by removing lid and placing food inside. Note that if the lid is removed during operation the unit will beep and stop. You then need to replace the lid, ensuring you realign marks on lid with marks on handle. Press START/STOP and reselect STEAM/BOILING function. Unit will bring water to the boil and allow water to return to a simmer. This process continues for 15 minutes and can be stopped at any time by pressing the START/STOP button. Alternatively use the egg/vege holder and place in unit and food to be steamed before you start process. Boiling process takes around 15 minutes. Note: Cooking times given are for reference only. STAINLESS STEEL FILTER A stainless steel filter is supplied to create further flexibility when using the Soup Maker/Blender unit. As a general guide, food inside the filter will be smoother and food outside the filter will be chunkier. Experimenting with the filter is the best way to discover your preferences. Placing the SOUP side of the filter at the bottom of the jug divides the jug into two parts whereby any hard foods such as ginger will only impart flavour into the soup. Alternately all food items can be inserted into the filter to ensure a super smooth soup. The filter can also be used to ensure that any food outside the filter does not get blended to ensure a super chunky soup such as Minestrone. Placing the SOYA side of the filter at the bottom of the jug divides the jug into two parts and creates a super smooth food as this side of the filter has very small pores. This is ideal for blending already cooked foods such as pumpkin or apple to create smooth baby food. The filter fits over the ring around the jug blades, touches the bottom of the jug and is locked into place by the jug lid. LIQUID Add your preferred liquid or stock to the jug; all liquids and stocks must be at room temperature when added not warm or hot.

8 Operating your Soup Maker/Blender, cont REHEATING Previously prepared soup that has gone cold can be reheated in the Soup Maker/Blender. Simply set up the unit as previously described and add the cooked soup to the jug ensuring the volume is no less than the minimum and no more than the maximum. Connect the unit to the mains power supply and press the START/STOP button. Ensure the lid is correctly fitted and press the REHEAT button. The REHEAT program will follow the sequence below: Heating-Mixing- Heating-Mixing-Heating This process will continue until the soup is heated and reaches the optimum temperature of 65 C -75 C, ready to serve. The alarm will then sound. The time taken to complete this process will depend on the temperature and volume of the soup added but should take approximately 5-8 minutes. BLENDER The Soup Maker/Blender can also be used as a blender; simply set up the unit as before and add your ingredients for blending. NOTE: It is important that your ingredients reach a minimum depth of 3-4cm so that the safety cutout sensor does not activate. But no more than the MAXIMUM. It is NOT possible to blend dry ingredients, as the sensor won t recognize them. Connect the unit to the mains power supply and press the START/STOP button. Make sure the lid is correctly fitted and press the blend button to start the BLENDER program. The BLENDER cycle is a repeating seconds high-speed blend with a slight rest. To stop the cycle press the blend button again, or press START/STOP button. NOTE: The REHEAT process is not a cooking function and is suitable only for reheating previously cooked soups.

9 Troubleshooting Issue Possible Causes The unit is not working and beeping 1. The jug is not fitted to the base correctly. 2. The lid is not fitted correctly. 3. There is not enough liquid in the jug. 4. There are spills around the over-flow sensor. The unit has stopped mid-program 1. The lid is loose. 2. Liquid level is too low due to evaporation during cooking. 3. Liquid is over the maximum. 4. The jug is not properly connected with the base. Food is still too large after the cycle is complete (food is not well blended) 1. Pieces were too large initially; use the BLEND function after the cooking program. 2. Wrong function was selected 3. Not enough water was added; add in sufficient water. The ingredients are hard after the cooking cycle 1. Chop the ingredients into small pieces before adding. 2. The wrong soup cycle was used. 3. Too much water or food or filter is clogged. 4. Some foods require longer cooking; select one of the heating functions to keep the unit working until food is fully cooked. The soup is not hot and the cooking cycle appeared to finish early 1. There was too much liquid in the jug. 2. Movement of the soup during cooking reached the upper overflow sensor and stopped the unit. Food is burnt, and stuck to the bottom 1. Caused by high sugar or starch content in the ingredients making contact with the bottom of the unit; use ingredients with lower sugar/starch content OR add the ingredient after the liquid and put ingredients inside the filter. 2. Too much food and not enough liquid; decrease solid: liquid ratio. SUPPORT AND TECHNICAL ADVICE PO Box , NSMC, Auckland Monday Friday 8am-5pm Phone: Website:
