CLEANING
You must follow certain rules to avoid seriously damaging the removable parts:
• Dishwasher: select the minimum temperature (below 100°F) and avoid the drying
cycle (generally above 140°F)
• Washing by hand: do not leave the parts to soak in detergent for too long. Avoid
abrasive products (e.g. Brillo‚ pads).
• Detergents: read the instructions for use to check their compatibility with plastic items.
The blades may become blunt if they come into frequent contact with certain foodstuffs
(parsley, hazelnuts, etc.). You can sharpen them with a sharpening steel.
Some foodstuffs such as carrots tend to stain plastic. Rubbing with a piece of paper towel
and a little vegetable oil will remove most of the staining.

the bowl more than
• To make optimum use of your food processor and reduce cleaning to a minimum, use the
Mini Bowl first, then the Midi and finally the Main Bowl. Process hard or dry ingredients first
and liquid preparations last.
• Use the Pulse function to maintain complete control over the final result. You can also use it
for rough chopping or processing.
• Use the spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
• If your processor starts to vibrate, carefully clean and dry the feet.
• To achieve the very best results when chopping, grating or slicing soft foodstuffs (meat, fish,
soft cheese, etc.), put them in the freezer for a few minutes first. They should be firm but not
frozen !
2
/3full.
• Mini Bowl
The Mini Bowl is ideal for baby food, and it can double as a storage container
once you have removed the metal blade.
• Midi Bowl
The Midi Bowl is perfect for grating and slicing cheese, fruit and vegetables.
• Metal blade
When handling large quantities, cut the meat, vegetables, etc. into 1-inch cube.
For soups, sauces, pancake batter, etc., start by combining the solid ingredients.
Then, while the machine is running, gradually add the liquid via the feed tube.
20
Vegetable purée: cut the cooked vegetables into large chunks, put these in the Main Bowl
and process with the metal blade. Pulse a few times to begin with, then blend continuously
to achieve the desired consistency.
Fresh herbs: before chopping fresh herbs, check that both the herbs and the bowl are
perfectly clean and dry. This way, you will obtain better results and the herbs will
keep longer.
Meat and fish: when mincing meat or fish, use the pulse function to monitor the
final result.
• Dough blade
Bread dough, shortcrust pastry, rich shortcrust pastry: begin by combining the solid
ingredients (flour, yeast, etc.). Next, while the machine is running, gradually add the
liquids (eggs, water, milk) via the feed tube.
Leavened dough: use fresh yeast if you can. You can purchase this from your local
baker’s or healthfood shop. For best results, always dissolve the yeast in cool liquid. If the
water is too hot, it will “kill” the yeast.
Dough: Leave your dough to rest or prove* at room temperature or in a warm place. That
way, it will rise more quickly.
• Egg whisk
Beaten egg whites: for maximum volume, use eggs at room temperature and add
a pinch of salt or a drop of lemon juice.
Whipped cream: do not use low fat cream as it will not whip properly. Always use full fat
whipping cream.
TIPS
• Discs
Mashed potatoes: process your peeled, boiled potatoes using the 4-mm grater.
The reversible discs should be stored in the middle of the storage box. As for the
non-reversible ones, make sure you arrange them with the Magimix name facing
outwards.
Some foodstuffs, such as carrots, tend to stain plastic. Rubbing with a paper
towel and a drop of vegetable oil will remove most of this staining.
• Juicer
It is a good idea to vary your consumption of fruit and vegetables, as they do not all
contain the same substances and are good for you in different ways.
The fresher the fruit and vegetables, the higher their vitamin content and the more juice
they will yield.
Use or drink the juice immediately, if possible, as certain vitamins are destroyed
by exposure to light or oxygen. If you have to store the juice for a while, add a
few drops of lemon juice to help it keep longer and put it in the fridge.
For optimum yield, press down gently to ensure that the fruit (or vegetable) is in
direct contact with the grater.
