Capacity marks on a food maker cup help with product setup, but they should not be confused with nutrition or portion advice. The markings may refer to the cup, water reservoir, basket, or working limit of the exact model.
Read the manual alongside the physical marks before measuring or running a program.
Identify which container the marks belong to
Check whether the numbers appear on the blending cup, steaming basket, water section, or another removable piece. Similar units can represent different functions.
Find the working limit
A cup’s total volume and its recommended operating limit may not be the same. Look for maximum lines, minimum requirements, and program-specific notes in the manual.
Keep the marks readable
Wash with the approved method and avoid tools that scratch printed or molded lines. Dry the cup in a position that does not trap water around the base or connection points.
A simple checklist
- Confirm the FM02 or other exact model.
- Match each marking to its container.
- Check minimum and maximum operating lines.
- Do not turn capacity marks into feeding advice.
