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 measur-
ing 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 func-
tion 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
injur y.
• 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.

Butterfly whisk (stirring attachment)
The butterfly whisk 1(here positioned on the mixing knife 2) will help you
to achieve best results when whipping cream or beating egg whites. It is also
the perfect accessory in the preparation of creamy puddings or cream mix-
tures. When boiling milk or preparing puddings or sauces the butterfly whisk
allows a constant movement of viscous ingredients. This will help prevent
the food from sticking or burning onto the bottom of the mixing bowl.
It is easy to insert and remove the butterfly whisk: Insert the butterfly whisk
as shown in picture 3and slightly turn it against the intended rotation of
the mixing knife. It should be hooked under the knife now and not be possible
to pull it off vertically. Its ball-shaped end ensures that it can be removed
easily. To remove the butterfly whisk hold the ball-shaped end and pull it out
with rotations in both directions.
NOTICE
• Only turn the speed dial when the butterfly whisk (stirring attachment)
is attached correctly. Do not exceed speed 4 when using the butterfly
whisk. If you do, there is a high likelihood of it being thrown off of the
mixing knife and destroyed.
• Never use the spatula when the butterfly whisk is fitted.
• Do not add ingredients that can damage or block the butterfly whisk
when it is attached to the mixing knife and the motor is running.
Varoma
WARNING
Scalding hazard.
• The Thermomix® TM5 can generate a constant flow of steam while
cooking depending on the chosen settings. Keep away from the steam.
Be aware that hot steam will continue to rise up through the hole in
themixing bowl lid when removing the entire Varoma. Be aware that
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.
• 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 4.
• When removing the Varoma lid, tilt the lid away from your face and
body to avoid escaping steam.
• 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
(higher than 60°C or Varoma temperature).
• 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.
CAUTION
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance above and around the
Thermomix® TM5 and Varoma (from cupboards and shelves) to help

The Varoma 1consists of three parts 2:
• Varoma dish (bottom)
• Varoma tray (middle)
• Varoma 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
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.
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 3and 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.
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 (x–6) at Varoma temperature.
YourThermomix®TM5 switches off the heating at speeds higher than 6.
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 7
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.

Practical work with the Varoma
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.
• You can also turn the Varoma lid upside down and use it as a drip collector
for the Varoma dish and the Varoma tray 1. It can also be used as a tray to
serve food directly from 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.
