The Varoma 1 consists of three parts 2:

• Varoma dish (bottom)

• Varoma tray (middle)

• Varom a lid (top) All parts are made of high-quality, food compatible plastic.

The Varoma can also be used without the Varoma tray to steam larger items (e.g. dumplings) or prepare larger quantities.

How to use the Varoma

NOTICE

• Never leave the measuring cup in the mixing bowl lid when using theVaroma.

• If the Varoma lid is not positioned properly, not enough steam willstayin the Varoma. This will slow down the cooking process.

• Only use low speeds ( Your Thermomix®TM5 switches off the heating at speeds higher than 6.

Your Varoma is an accessory designed for the Thermomix® TM5 and can only be used with the Thermomix® TM5. Before you can start steaming with the Varoma you will need to set up your Thermomix® TM5 correctly:

Step 1: Set up Thermomix® TM5 Place the mixing bowl into position. Pour at least 0.5 litre (500 g) of water into the mixing bowl for up to 30 minutes steaming. If you steam with the simmering basket, insert the simmering basket and fill it with ingredients, e.g. potatoes or rice. Close the mixing bowl with the mixing bowl lid.

x–6) at Varoma temperature.

The Varoma lid underneath the Varoma dish will stop the liquid from washed vegetables, ripe fruit, raw meat or fish from wetting your work surface.

When using the Varoma tray, add the ingredients and insert it into the Varoma dish 5.

Make sure the Varoma tray is positioned upright onto the locked mixing bowl lid (without the measuring cup) so that it sits level 6.

Place the Varoma lid on top. It should be positioned loosely and evenly so that it seals the Varoma well, allowing no steam to escape.

Step 3: Steaming with Varoma All you need to do is select the time and Varoma temperature using the time dial and the temperature dial. The steaming process begins when you set the speed to a low speed setting (x– 6). The timer starts to count down. Water or waterbased liquid in the mixing bowl is brought to the boil, producing 250 ml of steam per quarter hour for steam cooking or reducing the liquid. The steam rises through the hole in the mixing bowl lid of the Thermomix® TM5 into the Varoma. The food is cooked gently in the hot steam.

When the ingredients are cooked or if you want to check whether they are cooked, set speed to zero by tapping on the speed dial on the home screen and turning the selector counter-clockwise. In order to open the Varoma, slightly incline the Varoma lid carefully to the front so that the steam can escape from the back 8. Take care to let the condensation water drip into the Varoma dish and tray by holding the Varoma lid directly above it. Then carefully remove the Varoma lid and place it upside down on the work surface. Lift the Varoma dish and tray up, wait a few seconds to allow the condensed water to drip onto the mixing bowl lid. Then place the Varoma dish and tray onto Varoma lid.

For a flavoursome variation you can use a vegetable broth or water-wine-mix instead of water.

Step 2: Filling the Varoma Place Varoma lid upside down on your work surface 3 and position the Varoma dish on top – it fits perfectly into the groove. Now loosely fill the Varoma dish with food 4. Make sure that some slots remain unobstructed so that the steam can spread evenly. As you fill the Varoma, put the food requiring longer cooking at the bottom and food requiring shorter cooking at the top.

WORKING WITH THE

Practical work with the Varoma

NOTICE

30 minutes steam cooking requires 0.5 litres/500 g (2 cups/17.6 oz) ofwater, for every additional 15 minutes add 250 g (8.8 oz) of water.

Observe the following basic rules for using the Varoma:

• Place enough water in the mixing bowl to prevent burning.

• The bottom of the Varoma dish and tray are both designed with an even pattern of small slots to guarantee an even distribution of steam in the Varoma. The food should always be positioned so that as many slots as possible remain unobstructed. Laying the food in “loosely” is usually enough to ensure this.

• You can cook foods of different consistency and hardness in the Varoma at the same time.

• Place food requiring longer cooking at the bottom and food requiring less cooking at the top, e.g. vegetables in the Varoma dish and fish on the Varoma tray.

• The ingredients will be evenly cooked if you cut them into similar-sized pieces. The cooking times stated are approximate. Cooking time varies depending on quality, ripeness and size of the ingredients as well as your personal preferences.

• Grease the Varoma dish and tray to make sure that ingredients such as meat, fish or dough do not stick.

• Do not thicken your sauces and soups until the steaming process is finished.

• Thickeners may prevent steam from forming evenly in the mixing bowl and slow down the overall cooking process in the Varoma.

Inspect your Thermomix® TM5 and its accessories (incl. mixing bowl, cable and mixing bowl sealing ring) for possible damage. Do not use your Thermomix® TM5 with damaged accessories.

As with all kitchen appliances or tableware you should clean all parts of your Thermomix® TM5 – especially the mixing knife, the mixing bowl, the mixing bowl lid and its sealing ring – thoroughly before using it for the first time and after every usage.

How to clean the mixing bowl and its lid

WARNING

The blades of the mixing knife can cut.

• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Hold the upper part of the mixing knife when removing or re-inserting it.

• Use care when removing the mixing knife to prevent it from falling out ac cide ntally.

NOTICE

Leaks from around the mixing knife may damage the Thermomix® TM5.

• Ensure that the sealing ring of the mixing knife is fitted to the knife bearing.

• Ensure that the mixing knife is locked into the bowl base correctly.

• The mixing bowl base must be turned as far as it will go and locked. Failure to fit the mixing bowl base and mixing knife correctly may result in damage to other parts of the Thermomix®TM5. If liquid leaks or spillsinto Thermomix®TM5 base unplug the Thermomix®TM5 and refer to the cleaning section (p. 56) for cleaning.

• To help prevent corrosion of your Thermomix® TM5, ensure that the contact pins of the mixing bowl are thoroughly dried after cleaning so that moisture does not enter the Thermomix® TM5.

• Never use pointed or sharp objects for cleaning as this may damage functional parts or affect the safety of the Thermomix®TM5.

Remove the mixing bowl from the Thermomix® TM5 and remove the mixing knife (see pages 21–22). Now clean the inside and outside of the mixing bowl 1 (without the mixing knife) either in hot water with cleansing agent and a soft cloth or in the dishwasher; the mixing knife, spatula, butterfly whisk, simmering basket, measuring cup, mixing bowl lid and Varoma can be cleaned in the same wa y. If food is sticking in the mixing bowl use a special cleansing agent for stainless steel. Ensure that the contact pins at the bottom of the mixing bowl are always clean and dry before you insert the mixing bowl. If necessary wipe them off. We recommend that you dismantle the mixing bowl for cleaning, especially when you clean it in the dishwasher. To prevent any damage to the Thermomix® TM5, ensure that the air intakes at the back and on the bottom of the appliance are not obstructed. This is particularly important if your Thermomix® TM5 has a protection grid. Be sure to remove the protection grid during cleaning.

How to clean the mixing knife

NOTICE

• Do not leave the mixing knife in water for a long time as this may damage the gasket system of the knife bearing.

• Leaving the mixing knife in food residues or using a very aggressive dishwasher agent may result in the development of rust. This is harmless and may be removed easily with a brush or a soft vinegar solution.

• Leakages near the mixing knife may damage the Thermomix® TM5.

• Make sure that the sealing ring of the mixing knife is properly positioned on the knife bearing.

• Ensure that the mixing knife is correctly anchored in the mixing bowl base.

To clean the mixing knife hold it under running water with the mixing knife pointing upwards, as shown in picture 2. In order to facilitate the cleaning, use a brush or clean it in the dishwasher. Carefully re-assemble the mixing bowl and mixing knife (incl. sealing ring).
