soups. It includes 7 preset modes and a manual program button (use for a
recommended maximum time of 30 seconds):

seconds).

booklet.

12
buttons simultaneously in order to reset the machine. Next, select the
desired program and press start.
In certain programs you have to open the lid to add ingredients. Try to

minutes.

1. Hold the handle of the jar with one hand and with the other lift the motor
unit, removing it from the jar, using its handgrip (Fig. 4.1).

vegetables in the jar first.

- For best taste, use fresh seasonal ingredients.
- Cut the ingredients into 2 cm cubes to get perfect results.
- Defrost ingredients before putting them in the jar.
3. Add water or another liquid to the ingredients in the jar (Fig. 4.3).
Make sure the water level is somewhere between the 1300 ml and 1500 ml
level.

5. Hold the motor unit above the jar with both connectors aligned and then lower
the motor unit into the jar (Fig. 4.5).

in your chunky soup or compote, select the manual blending program and
press the start button to start blending until you get the desired consistency.
