The keyholes in the bottom rim should locate over the lugs on the motor housing (for Cuisine Système only). Turn the bowl anti-clockwise as far as it will go making sure it firmly locks in position. Midi Bowl * Place the Midi-Bowl onto the motor spindle inside the Main Bowl. Mini-Bowl Place the mini-bowl onto the motor spindle. * Midi bowl: not available for Compact 2100 and other models depending on the Country of sale. Put on the lid with the feed tube to the left of the handle. The locking mechanism should engage with the lip on the bowl. NOTE : With a little practice you will soon become familiar with the lid locking mechanism which is designed specifically for your safety. For the first few operations some components may be tight fitting. Place the mini-bowl blade onto the motor spindle. 5 Applying a gentle downward pressure, turn the lid anti-clockwise (as far as it will go) until locked in position. The bowl is now also locked in place. Knives Place the double-bladed knife onto the motor spindle. Does not work in the Midi Bowl. Place the dough blade onto the motor spindle. Does not work in the Midi Bowl. Lock the lid in position by turning it anti-clockwise as far as it will go. IMPORTANT : When not in use do not leave the lid in the locked position. Discs Place the disc support onto the motor spindle. It is now in place. When fitting a disc handle it with great care as the edges are very sharp. Can be used in the Midi Bowl. To Slice : Place the disc with its slicing edge uppermost firmly onto the disc support. For extra safety always hold discs by the rim away from the blades. 6 To Grate : Place the disc with its cutting edges uppermost firmly onto the disc support. French/Stir Fry Disc : This is an optional extra (except with the CS 5100). Fit the disc support and with the cutting edges uppermost, place the disc firmly onto it. Lock the lid in place by turning it anti-clockwise as far as it wil go. Egg whisk To use the egg whisk in the Midi Bowl*: take off the white paddle, and replace it by the yellow one. For extra safety always hold discs by the rim away from the blades. Egg whisk Place the egg whisk onto the motor spindle. * Midi bowl: not available for Compact 2100 and other models depending on the Country of sale. Position the raised white plastic point within the feed tube and turn the whole lid anti-clockwise as far as it will go until it is firmly locked into position. Make sure you remove the pusher for maximum air. Before using the egg whisk, make sure the bowl and the lid are dry and free from grease. 7 TAKING THE COMPACT & CUISINE SYSTEME APART Mini-Bowl (optional on Compact 2100) Stop the motor and remove the lid by turning it clockwise before lifting it off. You can then lift out the mini-bowl and blade Take care when handling the blade, it is sharp. Discs Take care when removing the slicing and grating discs. Do not forget to remove the disc support. Midi Bowl Remove the Midi Bowl by lifting it with both hands. Knives Having removed the lid, remove the bowl, again by turning it clockwise to release the catch. Remove the blade by lifting it out. 8 Egg whisk The egg whisk can be removed in the same way. To easily clean the main blade remove the cap. Do this by holding the blade on a flat surface and pushing the top of the cap with the thumb. To re-assemble just click the cap back into place. On the Compact models this is a flat cap. The prongs of the spatula can help to clean awkward corners. The whole egg whisk comes apart for easy cleaning. Before storing the egg whisk in the storage box, take care to replace the white paddle. The yellow paddle can be stored in the Midi Bowl. Do not put the motor unit into water. Clean it with a damp cloth. Take care to keep the switch mechanism on the motor unit clean. All accessories can be washed in the dishwasher but we recommend that you use a short programme (low temperature). It is normal that the bowls and the lid will become marked, crazed and possibly opaque with frequent use. This normal deterioration is not covered by guarantee. 9 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Juice Extractor in stainless steel for fruits and vegetables. Pusher and Guide. Makes up to a litre of juice. Citrus Press with anti-splash arm and 2 cones for small and large fruit (1 cone fits inside the other). The arm and the second cone are optional accessories depending on the Country of sale.

Use also for puréeing, kneading, beating egg whites, slicing and grating. OFF : OFF When the machine is "on" press this switch to stop the motor running. PULSE : 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. WHEN NOT IN USE ALWAYS LEAVE THE LID IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION, SWITCH OFF THE POWER AT THE MAINS, AND UNPLUG. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE ROTATING SIEVE IS DAMAGED. NOTES ON USING THE MAGIMIX · The Magimix 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. 11 FUNDAMENTAL RULES Never use a hand to push the food down the feed tube. Never put any ustensil or object 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. 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. With liquids remove the bowl and carefully hold the blade in place when pouring the contents into a bowl. Use the spatula to scrape out the bottom and the sides of the bowl. 14 HOW TO USE THE MINI-BOWL Chopped Herbs Finely Chopped or Fines Herbes ON Chopped Onions, Shallots or Garlic PULSE Oignons/ail échalotes hachés finement MARCHE PULSE Garlic Butter Finely chop the shallots, garlic and herbs.
