Program Descriptions:

• Smooth: This program is ideal for preparing creamy soups, purees, and sauces. It involves heating and blending cycles to achieve a smooth consistency.
• Chunky: Use this program for soups with larger pieces of vegetables or meat. It heats the ingredients without extensive blending, preserving texture.
• Jam: Specifically designed for making homemade jams and fruit compotes. This program manages heating and stirring to achieve the correct consistency.
• Juice: This program blends fruits and vegetables into fresh juices or smoothies. It primarily focuses on blending without heating.
• Reheat: Use this function to warm up pre-made soups or other liquid dishes. It heats the contents to a serving temperature without further cooking.
• Blend/Clean: This program offers manual blending control for desired consistency or can be used for initial cleaning of the jug.

Memory Function:
