Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop all solid ingredients into small, uniform pieces (approximately 1-2 cm cubes) to ensure even cooking and efficient blending.
2. Add Ingredients: Place your prepared ingredients into the stainless steel jug. Add liquids, ensuring the total volume is between the MIN (1.2L) and MAX (2L) fill lines. The built-in overfill detection sensor will alert you if the maximum capacity is exceeded.
   

   The soup maker has clear MAX (2000ml) and MIN (1200ml) markings on its stainless steel jug to guide ingredient levels.

   

   The 2-liter capacity of the soup maker is ideal for preparing 2-6 servings, helping to prevent food waste.

3. Secure the Lid: Carefully place the lid onto the jug, aligning it correctly. Push down firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is securely locked. The appliance will emit a notification sound to confirm proper connection.
4. Select Program: Press the "MODE" button on the control panel to cycle through the available preset programs. Choose the program that best suits your desired outcome:
   • Smooth: For creamy, puréed soups with a fine texture.
   • Chunky: For soups with larger, visible pieces of ingredients.
   • Compote: Ideal for making fruit preserves.
   • Blend: For non-heated mixtures such as smoothies, milkshakes, or baby food.
   • Reheat: To warm up pre-cooked meals or soups.
   • Clean: Activates the automatic self-cleaning function.
5. Start Operation: Once your desired program is selected, press the "START/STOP" button. The machine will automatically begin the heating and blending process according to the chosen program. Cooking times typically range from 20-30 minutes for soups.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper and regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and extend the lifespan of your Potlimepan Soup Maker Machine.

1. Automatic Cleaning: After each use, add water to the jug (up to the MAX line) and select the "CLEAN" function. This self-cleaning mechanism is designed to help remove most residues and stains automatically.
   

   The automatic cleaning function simplifies maintenance by removing residue with ease.

2. Hand Wash: For a more thorough clean, hand wash the stainless steel jug and lid with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush for hard-to-reach areas around the blades.
3. Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the main unit (the base with the power cord) in water or any other liquid. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth only.
4. Blade Care: The blades are sharp. Exercise extreme caution when cleaning them to avoid injury.
5. Storage: Ensure the appliance is completely dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
