SAFE USE (PDF)SPEED UP SLOWLY
After cooking with high temperatures, blend by progressively increasing the speed step-by-step (only TM31).
SAFE USE (PDF)USE TURBO FOR COLD FOOD ONLY
Use the turbo mode only for processing cold ingredients. Do not use the turbo mode whilst operating with hot food.
SAFE USE (PDF)TAKE YOUR TIME
Turn the speed down and wait for at least 3 seconds (count slowly to 3) until processed food has stopped moving. Only then should you turn the switch to “lid open” position (only TM31) and then open the lid carefully.
SAFE USE (PDF)STEAMING HOT
Hot steam escapes at the sides and from the top of the Varoma lid when operating with Varoma. Touch only the handles on the sides of the Varoma. Hot steam will continue to rise up through the hole in the mixing bowl lid when removing the full Varoma accessory.
SAFE USE (PDF)HOT ACCESSORIES
Several parts of Thermomix will become hot or release hot steam when being heated to temperatures above 60°C. Therefore, keep a certain distance and use caution when handling hot items. Never hold the measuring cup when processing food above 60°C.
SAFE USE (PDF)USE THE MEASURING CUP
Do not cover the hole in the mixing bowl lid with anything other than the measuring cup designed for and provided with your Thermomix. Do not cover the measuring cup otherwise steam cannot escape, the appliance can become pressurised and may cause serious injuries.
SAFE USE (PDF)BOILING HOT
Place the measuring cup correctly into the hole in the mixing bowl lid to avoid hot food escaping. If food escapes from this lid opening or else-where, immediately reduce the speed and hold at speed “1” for at least 3 seconds before turning to “lid open” position (only TM31). Wait until cooled down, check fill level and reduce if necessary.
SAFE USE (PDF)DO NOT OVERFILL
Never exceed the maximum fill level markings of the mixing bowl, the simmering basket or the Varoma and never overfill the Thermomix. Check the fill level markings of the mixing bowl each time after adding ingredients. Overfilling the mixing bowl, the simmering basket or the Varoma affects the safety functions of the Thermomix and may cause serious injuries.
