children.
• The appliance may be used by persons
with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are
supervised or instructed with regard
to its safe use and understand the
resulting hazards.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard.
• Do not operate the Thermomix® TM5
if the cord or plug becomes damaged,
if the appliance malfunctions, or

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
You may get burned or scalded
by escaping hot food or steam or
by touching hot surfaces.
• Remove mixing bowl carefully to help
prevent contents from spilling or
splashing.
• Take care when adding liquids to the
mixing bowl, as they may suddenly be
ejected again due to evaporation.
• Watch out for individual splashes
of hot food escaping from the mixing
bowl opening. To avoid injury when
processing hot food, place the measuring cup into the opening of the mixing
bowl lid and do not touch or fix the
measuring cup.
• At higher speeds, hot food may splash
out or hot liquids may froth up. Please
therefore only use low speeds (x –6) at
high temperatures (>60°C or Varoma
temperature).
• Using the turbo mode or abruptly
increasing mixing speed with hot food
may result in scalding injury.
• When processing hot food, increase
the speed gradually.
• Do not touch the surface of the mixing
bowl or parts of the mixing bowl lid,
Varoma or measuring cup as they will
become hot when processing hot food.
• Touch only the handles on the sides of
the Varoma when the Varoma is hot.
• The Thermomix® TM5 can generate
a constant flow of steam while cooking
depending on the chosen settings.
Keep away from the steam. Hot steam
will continue to rise up through
the hole in the mixing bowl lid when
removing the entire Varoma. Hot
steam may escape at the sides and
from the top of the Varoma lid during
operation.
• Do not use your Thermomix® TM5
with damaged accessories.
• Scalding due to food boiling over may
occur if heating large quantities of
food at high temperatures (>90°C and
Varoma temperature). If boiling over
occurs, push the selector to stop the
Thermomix® TM5.
Unhook and remove spatula from
simmering basket after removing
simmering basket and placing it on
a level surface. If hooked to mixing
basket, spatula may cause mixing
basket to tip and spill hot contents.
• Use care when removing simmering
basket. Contents of simmering basket
may splash during removal.
• Do not disassemble the mixing bowl
while it is hot.
WARNING
Fire hazard. Incorrect positioning
may cause the Thermomix® TM5
to catch fire or fall down, causing
injur y.
• To prevent splashing, use the
measuring cup, simmering basket or
Varoma dish to cover the hole in
the mixing bowl lid. The safety function can only be ensured when original
Thermomix® TM5 accessories are
used. Ensure that the accessories or
hole in the mixing bowl lid are not
covered or blocked from the inside or
outside by a towel or suchlike.
• When you remove the Varoma from
the mixing bowl lid and set it aside,
always keep the Varoma lid on.
• When removing the Varoma lid, tilt
the lid away from your face and body
to avoid escaping steam.
• Ensure that some slots of the Varoma
dish and tray remain uncovered of
food to allow the controlled escape of
steam.
• Position the Varoma correctly onto the
mixing bowl and Thermomix® TM5
• Your Thermomix® TM5 may catch fire
if exposed to an external heat source.
