• Avoid pinching hazard from contacting moving parts. Never touch
thelocking arms or mixing bowl lid when opening or closing the
Thermomix®.
• 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 “0” and the locking mechanism has released it.
• Only use the measuring cup to close the hole in the mixing bowl lid.
• Never cover the mixing bowl lid or measuring cup with any item inclu-
ding towels or dishcloths.
NOTICE
Only use your Thermomix® with a clean mixing bowl lid and sealing ring.
Ensure that the brim of the mixing bowl is clean at all times. Inspect the
sealing ring regularly for possible damage. The sealing ring is not remov-
able and attempting to do so may result in damage. In case of damage or
leakage replace the lid immediately and do not use your Thermomix® until
you have replaced the lid.
The mixing bowl lid 1is used to close the mixing bowl. For safety reasons
your Thermomix®will not operate unless the lid has been positioned and locked
correctly. Never try to force the lid open when the Thermomix®is locked.
The mixing bowl lid is being secured by the automatic locking mechanism. It
consists of two locking arms securing the lid and a sensor located on the upper
housing between the locking arms. Be sure to keep this sensor clean at all times.
Please note the delay between setting the motor speed to zero and the release
of the locking mechanism. It is dependent on the motor speed to prevent
spillage of ingredients, if the mixing bowl is filled to the maximum indicator.
Measuring cup
WARNING
Food escaping from the Thermomix® can cause burns or scalding.
• Do not fill the simmering basket past the max fill line. 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. DO NOT touch the controls.
If the hole in the mixing bowl lid is blocked with food and the heating
isactive, an overpressure can build up in the mixing bowl and the hot
contents can erupt from it.
• To avoid injury when processing hot food (temperature above 60ºC),
place the measuring cup intothe opening of the mixing bowl lid and do
not touch or fix the measuring cup.
• Using the turbo mode or abruptly increasing mixing speed with hot
food (temperature above 60ºC) may result in scalding injury. When
processing hot food, increase the speed gradually.
The measuring cup is a multi-purpose item: it is a closing cap for the hole in the
mixing bowl lid to avoid heat loss and it prevents ingredients from escaping.
The measuring cup can be used to measure ingredients. Besides the 100 ml
mark please note that a measuring cup holds up to 100 ml, and 50 ml when
filled to the notch. Place the measuring cup into the hole in the mixing bowl
lid with its opening showing upwards 2.
If you wish to add some liquid there is no need to remove the measuring cup.
Simply pour the liquid onto the lid. It will gradually trickle into the mixing
bowl. To add ingredients through the hole in the mixing bowl lid lift the
measuring cup and add them into the mixing bowl.

Simmering basket
WARNING
Food escaping from the Thermomix®can cause burns or scalding.
• Do not fill the simmering basket past the max fill line 1. While cooking,
ifyou find the hole in the mixing bowl lid blocked or if the measuring
cup is being pushed up, unplug the Thermomix®. DO NOT touch the
controls. If the hole in the mixing bowl lid is blocked with food and the
heating isactive, an overpressure can build up in the mixing bowl and
the hot contents can erupt from it.
Contents splashing or spilling may cause burns or scalding.
• Unhook and remove spatula from simmering basket after removing
simmering basket and placing it on a level surface. If hooked to simmering
basket, spatula may cause simmering basket to tip and spill hot contents.
• Contents of simmering basket may splash during removal. Use care
when removing simmering basket.
The simmering basket for the Thermomix®is made of high-quality plastic.
It is a multi-purpose item:
• Straining of fruit and vegetable juices. Chop and make a puree in the
Thermomix®, then insert the simmering basket into the mixing bowl and
use it as a strainer when pouring the juice out. When pouring the juice
use the spatula to hold the simmering basket 2.
• Delicate food such as meatballs or fishballs that are not suited to be prepared
in the mixing bowl as a whole should be put into the simmering basket.
To remove the simmering basket: place the hook of the spatula into the notch
of the simmering basket and lift the basket 3. The spatula can be removed at
any time.
• The feet at the bottom of the simmering basket 4allow liquid to drip off
the food in the basket.
• In case of wanting to reduce the liquid in the food (e.g. sauce) place the
simmering basket as a cover onto the mixing bowl lid 5instead of the
measuring cup 6.
Spatula
WARNING
The use of attachments or items not recommended or sold by Vorwerk
may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
Use only the Thermomix® spatula with safety disk for stirring food in the
mixing bowl. Never use other items or utensils such as spoons, whisks or
knives for stirring. These might get caught in the rotating mixing knife,
and could result in injury.
The spatula 7is another example of the intelligent design of the Thermomix®.
• The Thermomix®spatula is the only accessory you may use to mix or stir
the ingredients in the mixing bowl 8. Insert it from above into the mixing
bowl through the hole in the mixing bowl lid. The safety disk ensures that
the spatula is not caught by the mixing knife. This means that you can use
the spatula during chopping, cooking or simmering.
• The spatula should be used to scrape all ingredients from the mixing bowl.

Varoma
WARNING
Scalding hazard
• The Thermomix® 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.
• Touch only the handles on the sides of the Varoma when the Varoma
ishot.
• Tilt the lid away from your face and body to avoid escaping steam.
• 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.
• Ensure that some slots of the Varoma dish and tray remain uncovered
of food to avoid an uncontrolled escape of steam.
• Position the Varoma correctly onto the mixing bowl and Thermomix®
toprevent the Varoma from becoming detached.
NOTICE
• Use the Varoma only with the Thermomix® (The Varoma is not suitable
for use with microwaves, ovens or other appliances).
• Ensure that there is sufficient clearance above and around the
Thermomix® and Varoma to help prevent damage from any released hot
steam.
• While cooking, always keep the Varoma lid on top of the Varoma 4.
The Varoma 4consists of three parts 5:
• Varoma dish (bottom)
• Varoma tray (middle)
• Varoma lid (top)
All parts are made of high-quality, food compatible plastic.
How to combine the Varoma parts
You can use your Varoma in either of the following two combinations:
Combination 1:
Varoma dish plus Varoma tray and lid 5.
Use this combination for cooking different foods, e.g. vegetables with meat
or fish, or a larger quantity of the same food, e.g. dumplings.
Combination 2:
Varoma dish plus Varoma lid 6.
Use this combination for cooking large quantities of the same food, e.g. vegetables,
potatoes or large pieces of meat or sausages.

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.
Your Thermomix® switches off heating at speeds higher than 6.
Your Varoma is an accessory designed for the Thermomix®and can only be
used with the Thermomix®. Before you can start steaming with the Varoma
you will need to set up your Thermomix®correctly:
Step 1: Set up Thermomix®
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 the Varoma lid upside down on your work surface 1and position the
Varoma dish on top – it fits precisely into the groove. Now loosely fill the
Varoma dish with food 2. Make sure that some slots remain unobstructed
so that the steam can spread evenly. As you fill the Varoma, place the food
requiring longer cooking at the bottom, and food requiring shorter cooking
at the top.
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, insert it into the Varoma dish. Make sure the
Varoma tray is positioned loosely and evenly. Then place food onto it 3.
Place the Varoma upright into position onto the mixing bowl lid (without the
measuring cup) in such a way that it sits level 4.
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 5
All you need to do is select the time and Varoma temperature. The steaming
process begins when you turn the selector to a low to medium 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 g of steam per quater hour
for steam cooking or reducing the liquid. The steam rises through the hole in
the mixing bowl lid of the Thermomix®into the Varoma. The food is cooked
gently by the hot steam. Please note that the maximum Varoma temperature
is 120 °C, depending on what ingredients you are using, e.g. oil.
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 6. Take care to let the condensation water drip into the Varoma dish
and tray by holding the Varoma lid above them. Then carefully remove the
Varoma lid and place it upside down on the work surface.
Lift the Varoma dish and tray up, wait some seconds so that the condensed
water drips onto the mixing bowl lid. Then place the Varoma dish and tray
onto the Varoma lid.

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.
This description explains clearly how easy it is to use the Varoma. Observe
the following basic rules for using the Varoma:
• Place enough water in the mixing bowl.
• 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 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 vegetables 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.
• 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.

Temperature dial
WARNING
• The Thermomix® 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.
• Scalding due to food boiling over may occur if heating large quantities of
food at high temperatures. If boiling over occurs, push the selector to
stop the machine.
The temperature can be set to between 37 °C and 120 °C. The desired temper-
ature will be indicated in the middle of the temperature dial in large numbers.
The temperature of the bowl will be indicated along the top edge of the
temperature dial on a colour scale from blue to red. The current bowl
temperature will also be displayed in smaller writing between the desired
temperature and colour scale 1. While the heating is active you will also
notice the “°C” pulsing inside the temperature dial.
The preset and current temperatures indicated are approximate values only.
Always ensure that the value for the preset temperature is set to “---” if you
do not wish to heat or cook food. Alternatively, switch off the heating function
by tapping on the temperature dial and turning the selector counter-clockwise
to “---”. This will prevent unwanted heating of the ingredients in the mixing
bowl if a time has been preset. The heating function will only be switched on
if a time is preset on the time dial.
The Thermomix®also uses LEDs on the housing to indicate whether it is
preparing cold dishes (flashing green) or hot dishes (flashing red as soon as
the mixing bowl has reached a temperature of 55 °C – 60 °C) 2.
Soft heating at speeds 2 and 3
Speeds 2 and 3 are designed for soft heating. When these speeds are selected,
the temperature will be increased slower than at the other speeds. This allows
for the gradual heating of sensitive ingredients (e.g. zabaglione).
Soft start (above 60 °C (140 °F))
If the Turbo mode is activated or the motor is started when the temperature
in the mixing bowl is 60 °C (140 °F) or higher, an electronic system will
help prevent food from escaping by delaying the speed increase. This soft
start will only work if the food has been heated in the Thermomix®. Only then
can the temperature sensor correctly gauge the current temperature and trigger
the soft start accordingly.
If you want to use the Thermomix®to process food that has not been heated
in the Thermomix®(e.g. preparing a gravy from hot meat juices), you should
only increase the speed slowly and gradually.
