disc support, keeping a firm hold of the
disc.
The blade, spindle and top should
then be re-assembled and stored
together in the storage box.

sticking to it.

steel blade and the egg whisk, use the
short side of the spatula.

HOW TO WORK THE MAGIMIX
ON :
Press this switch for
continuous action. Use
when mincing, cutting
and thoroughly mixing.
Use also for pureeing,
kneading, beating egg
whites, slicing and grating.
OFF :
When the machine is “ on
” press this switch to stop
the motor running.
PULSE :
Press this switch for pulse
action. Keep the switch
pressed ; the motor stops
the moment pressure on
the switch is relaxed. Use
for mincing, cutting,
rough mixing or when you
need perfect control over
the final texture of the
food being processed.
WARNING
• The machine is fitted with a double safety mechanism. If the bowl and lid are not correctly locked into position the machine will not start.
• If you cannot twist the lid to close it it means that the bowl is not in the correct position. Remove the lid and, making sure the bowl is fitted correctly onto the base, turn it
anti-clockwise as far as it will go.
• Never remove the lid without having first pressed the “ off ” switch.
• A temperature control circuit breaker is included in the machine and motor will automatically stop if it has been running for too long or if the bowl is too full.
• If this happens press the “ stop ” switch and leave for 15-30 minutes. As soon as the
motor has cooled to a safe temperature it will operate normally.
WHEN NOT IN USE ALWAYS LEAVE THE LID IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION,
SWITCH OFF THE POWER AT THE MAINS, AND UNPLUG.

FUNDAMENTAL RULES
Never use a hand to push the food
down the feed tube.
Never attempt to chop bones (even
small ones). The machine is not
intended for this purpose. You will
irretrievably damage your metal blade.
Solids : Never fill the bowl more than
two-thirds full.
Liquids : Never fill the bowl more than
one-third full. We recommend that you
fill it below the top of the central
spindle.
Never leave the pusher in the feed tube
when whisking egg whites as they will
not be properly aerated.
Never put any utensil or object down
the feed tube.

FUNDAMENTAL RULES
You can slice and grate in one operation
without emptying the bowl. Simply
reverse the slicing/grating discs.
Never exert too much pressure on the
pusher when using the discs. If you
push too hard, the motor will slow down
then stop. If this happens, press on the
"Off" switch and wait a moment before
switching the appliance back on.
For small quantities you can in one
operation slice, grate and make a
vinaigrette or mayonnaise without
emptying your bowl. Simply position
the Mini-Bowl above the vegetables in
the main bowl. (NB: Mini Plus only)
The bowls have been designed to
withstand hot liquids.
The lid must be released before trying
to remove the bowl. If you can not
release the bowl it is because you have
not first released the lid.
When using the main bowl or the Mini-
Bowl you can add either liquids or
other ingredients through the feed tube.
13
FUNDAMENTAL RULES
Hold the blade when tipping out the
contents of the bowl.
To wash the bowl, the lid and the Mini-Bowl, we recommend that you
use a soft sponge with hot water and washing-up liquid, as the detergents used in dishwashers are highly corrosive. It is normal that these
items will become marked and possibly opaque with frequent use.
The bowls, lid and blades are subject to wear and tear. All accessories
are available for purchase and can be replaced.
Never immerse the motor unit in water or place it in a dishwasher.
Clean it with a damp sponge or, in the case of the chrome version,
with windowcleaning fluid.
WARNING
• The "smooth" edge of the mini-bowl blade may become blunt if it frequently
comes into contact with certain herbs and hard foodstuffs such as hazelnuts.
• If this happens, simply sharpen this edge with a stone.
• Never sharpen the serrated edge of the large blade.
Use the spatula to scrape out the bot-
tom and the sides of the bowl.
