4. Setup and Assembly
Before first use, wash all removable parts (except the motor base) in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
- Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
- Select the desired attachment (Juice Extractor, SmoothieMix, or Citrus Press) and place it securely onto the motor base. Ensure it clicks into place.
- Place the lid onto the attachment, aligning the safety lock. The appliance will not operate if the lid is not correctly secured.
- Position the juice jug and pulp collector (if applicable) under their respective spouts.
5. Operating Instructions
General Operation:
- Ensure the appliance is correctly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet (Corded Electric).
- Prepare your fruits and vegetables. For the Juice Extractor and SmoothieMix, most whole fruits and vegetables can be used without pre-cutting due to the extra-large feeding tube. Remove large seeds or hard pits (e.g., from peaches, avocados).
- Switch on the appliance using the 'I' (ON) position on the control button.
- Gradually feed the ingredients into the feeding tube using the pusher. Do not force ingredients.
- Once juicing is complete, switch off the appliance using the 'O' (OFF) position and unplug it.

Specific Use Cases:
- Juice Extractor: Ideal for hard fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and leafy greens. Provides clear juice.
- SmoothieMix: Best for soft fruits like bananas, berries, and cooked vegetables. Creates a thicker consistency.
- Citrus Press: Place half a citrus fruit onto the reamer and press down gently to extract juice.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Magimix Juice Expert 3.
- Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Disassemble all removable parts: pusher, lid, chosen attachment (juice extractor basket, SmoothieMix, or citrus press), juice jug, and pulp collector.
- Rinse all removable parts immediately after use under running water to prevent pulp from drying.
