6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Magimix Compact 3200 XL, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not start:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Verify that the bowl and lid are correctly assembled and locked into place. The safety interlock prevents operation if not properly secured.
• Motor seems to struggle or stops:
  • You may have overloaded the bowl. Reduce the quantity of ingredients.
  • Ensure ingredients are cut into appropriate sizes before processing.
  • Check if the blade or disc is jammed by a large piece of food. Unplug, disassemble, clear the obstruction, and reassemble.
• Food is not processed evenly:
  • Use the 'Pulse' function for better control over chopping and mixing.
  • Ensure the correct blade or disc is used for the specific task.
