Magic Bullet To Go 200W
Use frozen fruit and chilled liquid for smoothies in the Magic Bullet To Go 200W; crushed ice is optional, with liquid, up to 25% of the cup volume.
What can I blend, and how do I load the cup?
- For a cold smoothie in the Magic Bullet To Go 200W, use frozen fruit and chilled liquid. Always include liquid; do not run an empty cup.
- If using crushed ice instead, keep it to no more than 25% of the total cup volume and add water or another liquid without passing MAX. Do not use the Magic Bullet To Go 200W as an ice crusher or process hard ingredients without liquid.
- Remove apple and apricot seeds and cherry, plum and peach pits before loading. Take out spoons and all other non-food objects.
- Start with cold or room-temperature ingredients and leave out hot liquids and carbonated ingredients. Finish continuous blending within one minute; if the cup feels warm, let it cool before carefully opening away from your body.
What if hard ingredients stop the Cross Blade?
- Unplug immediately. Remove the cup-and-blade assembly from the motor base and shake the assembly to loosen trapped carrot, celery or other food.
- If the Cross Blade remains blocked, remove the blade attachment and carefully free the metal blades with a utensil, keeping fingers away from the sharp edges.
- Check that the gasket is undamaged and fully seated, refit the Cross Blade securely, reconnect power and try again; the blade should spin normally.
How do I keep a finished blend?
- Release any pressure first, remove the Cross Blade and fit the flip top lid for storage.
Magic Bullet Blender Combo
Use pitted fruit with sufficient liquid in the Magic Bullet Blender Combo; keep sealed-cup ingredients at 21°C or cooler and use the vented pitcher for hot, warm or fizzy ingredients.
Which ingredients and attachment should I choose?
- Use enough liquid for the ingredients to circulate in the Magic Bullet Blender Combo. Do not run the cup empty or grind dry grains, cereal or coffee.
- Use ice only with sufficient liquid; in the Tall Cup, keep ice to at most 25% of ingredient volume. Do not pack the cup or pitcher with ice or use the blender to crush ice alone.
- Remove apple seeds and the pits of cherries, plums, peaches and apricots. Take out utensils and other non-food objects before fitting the blade.
- For the Blending Cup, choose refrigerated or room-temperature ingredients at 21°C or cooler and keep below MAX. Exclude carbonated water, soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, bubbly batters or cake mixes, dry ice and other effervescent ingredients; check protein powders too.
- Use the pitcher for hot, warm or fizzy ingredients. Stay within MAX and LIQUID MAX, clear the lid vents, secure the Pitcher Lid and twist the Vented Lid Cap closed before starting on LOW.
- If adding to a hot pitcher blend, open the vented cap slowly, avoid steam and splashes, add carefully and reinstall the cap. Open the pitcher lid cautiously after blending.
How do I prevent pressure or a stalled blade?
- If ingredients stop the blade turning, switch off, remove some of the contents, refit the container and resume.
- Avoid consecutive cup blending cycles; after two cycles, allow 10–15 minutes before another. Remove the blade for storage and use the To-Go Lid or transfer the blend to a vented container.
Magic Bullet Mini Juicer
Juice fresh fruit and vegetables such as apples, carrots, cucumber and spinach in the Magic Bullet Mini Juicer; leave out nuts, seeds and frozen produce.
Which foods can I juice?
- Use fresh fruit and vegetables in the Magic Bullet Mini Juicer. The produce list includes apple, beets, blueberry, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, fennel, ginger, grapes, grapefruit, kale, kiwi, lemon, lime, melons (all), orange, peaches, pears, pineapple, plums, raspberries, spinach, sweet potato, tomatoes.
- Leave out frozen fruit or vegetables, nuts, seeds, and thick foods with no juice to extract, such as bananas and avocados. Do not make nut milk or nut butter; fruit and vegetable juicing needs no added liquid.
How should I prepare and feed the produce?
- Wash the produce, remove citrus rind and other skin as needed, remove stems and stone-fruit pits, then cut pieces just small enough to fit easily into the Feed Chute.
- Press the Power Button to ON before feeding. Add food gradually and push gently with the supplied Food Pusher, never hands or utensils; let one portion move through before adding more.
- For leafy greens, roll a handful into a small ball, place it into the Feed Chute while the motor runs and push down slowly.
- You can line the Pulp Bin with a plastic bag to ease cleanup. Stop and empty the Pulp Bin when full and the Juice Cup at MAX before continuing.
- Press the Power Button to OFF when finished and wait until the Sieve has completely stopped before removing the Juice Cup or opening the juicer.
How should I handle the finished juice or an overheated motor?
- For best taste, use the juice and pulp within 48 hours; keep the juice refrigerated in the lidded cup.
- If prolonged running overheats the motor, unplug the Magic Bullet Mini Juicer and allow 15 minutes to cool before continuing.
Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W
Use peeled, deseeded fruit and other room-temperature or cooler food in the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W, with the matching cup or bowl attachment for blending, chopping, slicing or shredding.
Which attachment should I use?
- Use the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W cup with its Cross Blade for blending. For food processing, fit the work bowl with the chopping blade to chop, or the reversible disc to slice or shred.
- Use only the cup and blade assembly supplied for the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W.
- Peel fruit rind and completely remove seeds and pits before loading. Leave out non-food objects and do not use the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express 250W as an ice crusher.
- If food gets lodged in the feed chute, push it down with the supplied food pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable.
- Never put your hands, fingers or utensils into the feed chute or use them to push food down; guide food with the supplied food pusher.
How do I prepare food for even results?
- Use room-temperature or cooler ingredients; keep hot food out of both bowl and cup, and carbonated ingredients out of the sealed cup.
- Keep ingredients below the MAX mark on the container. Do not overload the feed chute: guide food gently with the supplied Food Pusher and let it move down before adding more.
- Use PULSE for short bursts when you want more control of texture; release the knob to return to OFF. Keep every continuous run within one minute.
- Use a scraper only with the appliance off. After processing, stop the motor and remove the chopping blade or disc before pouring food out of the bowl.
When slicing or shredding with the disc, cut your food if needed so it fits in the feed chute.
Magic Bullet Air Fryer 2.5L
Cook prepared food such as French fries in the Magic Bullet Air Fryer 2.5L Fry Pot, following an air-fryer recipe and leaving about 50 mm of space at the top.
What food can I air fry, and how should I prepare it?
- For the Magic Bullet Air Fryer 2.5L, follow an air-fryer recipe; the guide gives French fries as an example of smaller foods. Peel or remove skin as needed and chop food small enough to fit the Fry Pot without forcing it in.
- Use food only in the Fry Pot, and do not deep-fry with oil.
How do I load and cook it for an even result?
- Preheat at the highest temperature setting for three minutes. Apart from this preheat, do not leave the Magic Bullet Air Fryer 2.5L running empty for long periods.
- Fit the Crisping Tray securely and level in the bottom of the Fry Pot. Load the prepared food, leaving about 50 mm of free space at the top.
- Set the temperature and timer for the recipe. Smaller pieces may need less cooking time than larger pieces; if food is overcooked or undercooked, adjust the temperature or time accordingly.
- Turn food during cooking so it browns evenly. For smaller foods such as fries, turn halfway through: for a ten-minute cook, turn at five minutes. Hold the pot handle firmly to prevent spillage.
- When cooking finishes, make sure the fryer is off and wait a few seconds until the frying sound stops before pulling out the Fry Pot. Keep clear of steam and remove food with a utensil rather than your hands.
- After unplugging and allowing the heating element to cool completely, remove food scraps, lift out the Crisping Tray by its centre handle and wash the tray and Fry Pot with hot soapy water. Wipe the base exterior with a clean damp cloth. NEVER submerge the main unit in water. Residue on the pot or tray can make the next batch cook unevenly.
