SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OF BURNS

• NEVER process hot ingredients (solid or liquid) in the BlendCups or mill attachment, as blending hot foods in a lidded jug can lead to a build-up of pressure, forcing out scalding steam or liquids.
• Processing hot foods in the 1.8l jug: blending hot ingredients at high speed can lead to a build-up of pressure, forcing out scalding steam or liquids. Always take care when pouring in a hot liquid, as it may suddenly boil up and escape from the jug.
• Never introduce hot ingredients (solid or liquid) if they are over 60 °C in temperature. Always make sure the lid is firmly fitted but the measuring cap is only loosely positioned, to allow any steam to escape. Always use the SOUP programme or start at a low speed and gradually increase it. Never use the PULSE button.

MAINS CONNECTION

• Your appliance must be connected to an earthed socket with the original power cord.
• Check that the voltage indicated on its identification plate corresponds to the voltage of your mains supply.
• Never allow the power cord to dangle over the edge of your worktop or counter, and make sure that it does not come into contact with hot surfaces.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

• If the power cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a Magimix-approved service agent or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid all risks.
• The use of parts that are not recommended or sold by Magimix may result in injury, fire or electric shock.

A blender is not designed to knead dough or mash potatoes.
Whatever the attachment or recipe concerned, the blender must not be used continuously for more than 60 seconds.

USING YOUR BLENDER

1. Assemble the base
   

   Place the seal on the rim of the blade assembly, makingsure it is completely flat.| Position the blade assembly on the underside of the jug.| Screw the holder tightly onto the blender jug.

2. Assemble the jug
   

   Place the upright jug on the motor unit.| Add the ingredients (max. 1.8l).| Push the lid down firmly into place. Loosely position the cap.

3. Blend
   

   Select a speed or programme. Press AUTO.| If necessary, use the spatula to help with the
   mixing.| Wait until the blades have completely
   stopped moving before opening.

ADVICE

Ice / frozen or sticky ingredients such as honey, banana and avocado
Fresh fruit and vegetables except for banana and avocado
Leaves, herbs such as spinach and fresh herbs
Hard or dry ingredients such as cereals, nuts and carrots
Liquids such as water, milk and fruit juice

For the best possible result:

• Cut the food into chunks measuring approx. 2cm.
• Coarsely chop the herbs or leaves before adding them.
• Always add the ingredients in the order specified in the recipe.
• When processing thick mixtures, always start at a low speed, otherwise the food will stick to the sides and not come into contact with the blades. If necessary, add a little liquid and use the spatula.
• To add ingredients, either remove the measuring cap or stop the machine and remove the lid.
• Never run your blender if the jug is empty. To process dry ingredients such as nuts and spices, we recommend using the mill attachment, which has a specially designed blade assembly.

Never fill above the MAX mark.
Never add solid or liquid ingredients if they are above 60°C in temperature.

Tips

• Hot soups: wait for the ingredients to cool to 60°C (tasting temperature) before blending. Make sure that the measuring cap is only loosely positioned on the lid, to allow any steam to escape. Either use the SOUP programme or start at a low speed and gradually increase it. Never use the PULSE button.
• Crushed ice: the ICE function reduces ice cubes to a very fine, snow-like powder. If you want more coarsely crushed ice, put a small number of ice cubes (100/150g max.) in the jug and use the PULSE button.
• To fold ingredients into a mixture without chopping them (e.g. chocolate chips in a cake mixture), add them at the end and run your blender for a further 5-10 seconds at a slow speed (0.5).
• Using frozen fruit: when fruit come out of the freezer it sometimes forms a solid block. Break this block into cubes measuring roughly 2cm before putting in the jug, to avoid damaging your blender.
• To rescue a lumpy sauce, blend it for 15 s at Speed 3.

Automatic overload failsafe
Your appliance is fitted with a safety system that cuts the motor if it is overloaded or has been running for too long. The indicator light then starts to flash.

• Turn to the selector to 0 and unplug your appliance.
• Wait for about 30 minutes before restarting your blender.
• Reduce the amount of ingredients in the jug and/or add some liquid.

MILL ATTACHMENT

• Instant crumble: crush digestives or butter biscuits and divide between fruit salad / ice cream verrines.
• Icing sugar: pour in 200g caster sugar. Blend for 1 min at Speed 4. For an even finer consistency, blend for a further minute.
• Cake icing: pour 200g icing sugar into the jug with 1 egg white. Blend for 20 s at Speed 1.

Never blend hot liquids. The blade assembly can be extremely hot after use.

BLENDCUPS

1. Add the ingredients

Liquids
water, milk, fruit juice
Frozen foods or sticky ingredients

BLENDCUPS

Tips and advice

• Run at a low speed for the first few seconds, until all the ingredients are caught up in the blades, then gradually increase the speed.
• Never run the blender continuously for more than 1 minute, otherwise the ingredients may heat up and pressure may build up inside the jug.
• If blending is difficult, reduce either the speed or the amount being processed. If the preparation is thick, add some liquid (without going above the MAX mark).
• Dense or sticky (e.g. nut-based) preparations tend to stick to the sides. If this happens, switch the blender off, wait until the blades have come to a complete standstill and shake the jug downwards to send the ingredients back towards the blades.
• The base of the jug is shaped to fit the cupholder in your vehicle.

CITRUS PRESS

Slot the citrus press onto the lid.| Turn until it locks into place.| Press then remove.

CLEANING

Automatic cleaning programme
As soon as you have finished using your appliance, fill the jug up halfway with warm water + few drops of washing-up liquid. Close the lid tightly, select the CLEAN programme and press AUTO.

Thorough cleaning

• Unplug the appliance and remove all the parts, not forgetting the seals.
• All the parts are dishwasher safe (except motor unit): use the short cycle and place all the small parts on the upper rack.
• For the best results, we nevertheless recommend washing the lid and the seals by hand.
• Never leave the blade assembly to soak, and check that the blades move freely before reassembling.
• Clean the base with a damp cloth.

Unscrew the holder with the aid of the spatula.| The top of the measuring cap can be removed.| Check that the locking pins slide smoothly, and clean them if necessary.
