Never put any ustensil or object down the feed tube. Never attempt to chop bones (even small ones). You will irretrievably damage your metal blade. Liquids : Neven fill the bowl above the level of the central spindle. For thin liquids fill below this level. Do not fill the bowl more than two thirds full with food or above the blade casing with liquids. Never leave the pusher in when whisking egg whites or they will not be properly aerated. 12 Do not carry the accessory box by the lid, it could fall open. Always hold the box from the underneath. 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. The bowl is designed to take boiling liquids. When using the mini-bowl you can add either liquids or other ingredients through the feed tube. The mini-bowl is ideal for baby foods, just remove the knife and it can be used as a storage serving bowl. 13 If you wish to re-heat baby food you can put the mini-bowl (but not the metal blade) into a Microwave. However never put the main bowl into a Microwave. You can slice and grate in one operation without emptying the bowl. Simply reverse the slicing/grating discs. For small quantities you can in one operation slice, grate and make a vinaigrette or mayonnaise without emptying your main bowl. Simply position the mini-bowl above the vegetables in the main bowl. You can use the juice extractor as a sieve (fish soups, etc. ). In this case do not put the special juice extractor guide and pusher in the feed tube. After processing remove the blade from the bowl. Do not overfill the feed tube. 18 HOW TO USE THE MAIN BOWL OR THE MIDI BOWL* Apples Cut in half and place in the feed tube. Lemons Place them whole, or in halves, in the feed tube.

To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquids. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord, or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way. In the event of a malfunction, a list of approved Service Agents is included with the Guarantee documentation, further details may be obtained by contacting the Magimix Customer Care Department on 01483 427411. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a table or counter 8. Prior to connecting or disconnecting the plug from the wall socket, ensure that all machine controls are in the 'OFF' position. The bowl should not be filled with liquid ingredients above the level of the central plastic spindle as leakage will occur. Due to the speed with which the Magimix processes food, larger quantities of food can be quickly processed by dividing the food into smaller batches and processing one batch at a time. [. . . ] Using a Magimix food processor to its full potential is, when you have familiarised yourself with the machine, a question of experiment and discovery. You will find that the more you use your Magimix food processor the more it will become an essential part of your life. It will speed up the preparation of your favourite dishes and inspire you to cook dishes that, in the past, always seemed too time consuming and ambitious. Do no attempt to process: Exceptionally hard cheese, except through the Parmesan disc; bones or hard gristle, coffee beans, hard spices such as cloves or peppercorns, tough cores or skins, very dry biltong.
