• Never put your fingers into the openings that are intended for the contact pins on the base of the mixing bowl and do not insert any objects into these openings.

8 For Your Safety Thermomix®

Fire hazard.

Risk of scalding as a result of contents erupting.

If the base unit is placed on a hot surface, it may start to burn.

• Do not put the base unit on a stove (hob, ceramic hob, induction hob or similar) or on any other heated or heatable surface.

• Keep the appliance a sufficient distance from hot surfaces and external heat sources.

• Ensure that the power cord does not touch hot surfaces or external heat sources.

Thermomix® TM6 has a high power consumption. An insufficient power rating could cause a fire.

• Please note the maximum power consumption when connecting the base unit.

• Do not use multiple socket extension leads or other devices to connect Thermomix® TM6 to the power socket.

If the opening in the mixing bowl lid is completely sealed and heating is active, excess pressure can build up in the mixing bowl. The hot contents may erupt from the appliance and scald you.

• To allow steam to escape and prevent excess pressure, ensure the opening in the mixing bowl lid is never blocked or covered – either from the inside (e.g. by food) or from the outside (e.g. by a towel).

• Never cover the opening in the mixing bowl lid with anything but the accompanying original Thermomix® accessories (measuring cup, simmering basket, splash guard and Varoma® dish).

• Do not fill the simmering basket past the max. fill line.

• If you notice during the cooking process that the opening in the mixing bowl lid is blocked or the measuring cup is being pushed up, unplug the base unit. Do not touch the controls.

Risk of scalding as a result of contents escaping.

• Ensure that the opening in the mixing bowl lid remains free of food.

• Only use the accompanying original Thermomix® accessories (measuring cup, simmering basket, splash guard and Varoma® dish) to prevent fat or liquid from splashing.

• Take extra care when adding liquids to the mixing bowl.

• Remove the mixing bowl carefully from the base unit to help prevent contents from spilling or splashing.

If you deviate from the recipe instructions and cook larger quantities of food at higher temperatures (> 90°C), the food can boil over, escape from the mixing bowl and scald you.

• Take extra care when cooking at high temperatures.

• If boiling over occurs, push the selector to switch off Thermomix® TM6.

If you use too high a speed in combination with high temperatures, there is a risk of hot food escaping and scalding you.

• Do not use the Turbo Mode for hot food or liquid over 60°C.

Thermomix® 9

Risk of scalding from hot steam.

Risk of burns from hot fat.

Steam is generated during cooking, particularly when using the Varoma®, which can scald you.

• Keep away from the steam.

• When preparing hot food, do not touch or cover the measuring cup. Make sure that the steam between the measuring cup and the opening in the mixing bowl lid can escape.

• Ensure that some slots in the Varoma® dish and Varoma® tray remain free of food to allow the controlled escape of steam.

• Ensure that the Varoma® dish is correctly positioned on the mixing bowl lid so that it does not tip and fall off. Do not place the Varoma® on the splash guard.

• When removing the Varoma® from the mixing bowl lid and setting it aside, always keep the Varoma® lid on.

• When removing the Varoma® lid, tilt the lid away from the face and body to avoid escaping steam.

The High Temperature Mode heats fat. Water and oil mixtures may spit. You could burn yourself on the hot fat.

• Never pour fat that has already been heated into the mixing bowl.

• Never heat oil at High Temperature without other ingredients. If there is a delay in adding the ingredients, the hot fat will spit excessively.

• Make sure that all Thermomix® TM6 accessories used are dry.

• Follow the instructions on the display.

• Always place the splash guard correctly onto the mixing bowl lid as soon as your Thermomix® TM6 instructs you to do so.

• Ensure that the locking arms cover the splash guard.

Risk of burning yourself.

Risk of scalding as a result of improper use of the mixing bowl lid.

Risk of scalding and injury.

Caramel retains a large amount of heat during and after preparation and can cause burns.

• Take extreme care when preparing or using caramel.

If the mixing bowl lid is not correctly positioned on the mixing bowl, hot contents can escape and scald you.

• Never try to open the mixing bowl lid or the locking mechanism using force.

• Only open the mixing bowl lid when the speed is set to “0” and the locking mechanism has released it.

• Inspect the sealing ring regularly for possible damage. In case of damage or leakage, replace the lid immediately.

• Only use Thermomix® TM6 with a clean mixing bowl lid. The rim of the mixing bowl and the sealing ring must always be kept free of food residues to ensure that the lid is properly sealed.

The base unit may be accidentally pulled by a trailing cable. The base unit could fall over and injure or scald you.
