Overview

The GSPM101T Soup Maker is a versatile kitchen appliance designed to simplify the process of making soups, smoothies, and other blended drinks. It combines heating and blending functions in one unit, allowing users to cook ingredients and achieve desired consistencies automatically or manually.

Function Description:

The primary function of the GSPM101T is to make soup, offering both "Smooth" and "Chunky" programs. The "Smooth" program cooks ingredients and blends them to a fine consistency, ideal for creamy soups and even homemade soy milk. The "Chunky" program cooks ingredients for a longer duration without blending, suitable for hearty, textured soups where ingredients are diced into small, even pieces.

Beyond soup, the appliance also features a "Juice" program, which is an automatic, unheated blending cycle designed for making smoothies and milkshakes from soft fruits and milk. This program runs for 2 minutes.

A "Blend" function is also available for manual control, allowing users to adjust the consistency of their soup or drink to their preference. This function operates for 20-second intervals to prevent motor overheating and should not be used for more than 3 continuous cycles.

The soup maker is equipped with a control panel featuring an LED screen that displays the cooking time and status indicators. These indicators show whether the appliance is currently "Heating," "Blending," "Resting" (simmering), or "Completed."

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Voltage/Frequency: 220-240V~50/60Hz
  • Motor Power: 120-140W
  • Heating Power: 800-1000W
  • Capacity: The jug has marked minimum (MIN-800ml) and maximum (MAX-1200ml) fill lines for ingredients, including liquid. Overfilling or underfilling should be avoided.
  • Fuse: Requires a 10 amp BS1362 fuse.
  • Dimensions: Not explicitly stated, but implied by the jug capacity.

Usage Features:

  • Easy Ingredient Addition: Ingredients are placed directly into the jug. For best results, solid ingredients should be chopped into uniform small pieces (around 2cm) to ensure even cooking. Liquid (water or stock) should be added last, ensuring the total volume is between the MIN and MAX lines.
  • Secure Lid Mechanism: The lid (3) must be securely placed back onto the jug (4), pressing down until it clips correctly, with the connector aligned with the handle.
  • Program Selection: Users select the desired program ("Smooth," "Chunky," "Juice," or "Blend") using the Mode button (15). The corresponding icon on the control panel will illuminate.
  • Start/Stop Functionality: To start a program, press and hold the Select-On/Off Button (16) for 1 second. The display will illuminate, and the soup maker will beep, beginning the cooking process. To cancel or change a program, press and hold the Select-On/Off Button (16) for 2 seconds until the icons flash, then re-select the program using the Mode button (15) and restart.
  • Mid-Cycle Ingredient Addition: For "Smooth" or "Chunky" soup programs, the lid can be lifted to add extra ingredients (e.g., seasoning, herbs). The program will automatically pause and resume when the lid is replaced. However, this should not be done during the blending process to avoid splashing and injury from rotating blades.
  • Error Indication: An "E3" error code on the LED screen indicates that the ingredient level in the jug is too high. Users must remove some liquid to bring the level between the min and max markers before restarting.
  • Completion Alert: Upon completion of a program, the soup maker will beep for 60 seconds, and all four function icons will flash. The LED screen will display a "Completed" icon before going blank after 1 minute.
  • Safety Features: The appliance is designed with safety in mind, including warnings against immersing electrical components in water, avoiding contact with sharp blades, and not opening the lid during blending. It also has a residual heat warning for the heating element.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: After each use, the blade should be rinsed with warm water, and the motor housing wiped with a sponge (not immersed in water). The jug can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a sponge. For stubborn burnt food, warm soapy water can be left to soak, and a scouring pad used. All parts must be thoroughly dried before storage.
  • Cleaning Aid: For easier cleaning, warm water (between Min and Max levels) can be added to the jug, and the "Blend" program run for a few seconds to rinse away residue.
  • Fuse Replacement: The manual provides instructions for changing the 10 amp fuse in the mains plug using a screwdriver to access the fuse holder.
  • Cool-down Period: After one operation cycle, the appliance must be allowed to cool down completely before further use to prevent food from sticking and ensure longevity. Continuous operation for making soup is not recommended.

Safety Warnings (summarized from the manual):

  • Not for use by children or persons with reduced capabilities without supervision/instruction.
  • Always disconnect from supply before assembly, disassembly, or cleaning.
  • Intended for household use; not suitable for staff kitchen areas in shops/offices.

  • Extreme caution when moving with hot contents.
  • Do not use with wet hands.
  • Keep away from heat sources, direct sunlight, moisture, and sharp edges.
  • Ensure lid is in place before switching on.
  • Do not remove lid until blade stops.
  • Be careful when pouring hot liquid due to sudden steaming.
  • Appliance must be earthed.
