If the Thermomix® TM5 is used around children, consider using a locking code, see p. 52.
•The Thermomix® TM5 is exclusively intended for use by adults. It may not be used by children – not even when supervised by an adult. Keep children away from the appliance when it is in operation. Please ensure you warn children of the potential dangers of heat/steam development, hot condensation and hot surfaces.
•Close supervision is necessary when the Thermomix® TM5 is used near 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.
•Always unplug the Thermomix® TM5 from outlet when not in use, before attaching or removing parts (e.g. protection grid), and before cleaning.
•Do not put the Thermomix® TM5 in water or other liquid. Clean with
a damp cloth only. No water or dirt should enter the base unit.
•Do not operate the Thermomix® TM5 if the cord or plug becomes damaged, if the appliance malfunctions, or
if the Thermomix® TM5 is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return your Thermomix® TM5 to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment or if the Thermomix® TM5 has fallen off a surface or is damaged in any way.
•Do not use the Thermomix® TM5 outdoors.
WARNING
To avoid scalding, burn injury and laceration hazard, do not try to open the mixing bowl lid by force.
•Only open the mixing bowl lid when the speed is set to “O” and the locking mechanism has released it.
WARNING
If the hole in the mixing bowl lid is covered or blocked and the heating is active, excess pressure can build up in the mixing bowl and the hot contents can erupt from it.
•While cooking, if you find the hole in the mixing bowl lid blocked or if
the measuring cup is being pushed up, unplug the Thermomix® TM5.
DO NOT touch the controls.
•Do not fill the simmering basket past the max. fill line.
•Do not fill the mixing bowl past the max. fill line (2.2 litres).
•Ensure that the hole in the mixing bowl lid remains free of food.

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.
•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.
•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.
•When you remove the Varoma from the mixing bowl lid and set it aside, always keep the Varoma lid on.
•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.
•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 to prevent the Varoma from becoming detached.
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 injury.
•Your Thermomix® TM5 may catch fire if exposed to an external heat source.
•Do not place on or near a hot surface or hob.
•Place your Thermomix® TM5 on
a clean, solid, unheated even surface to help prevent it from slipping or catching fire.
