8 For your safety Thermomix®
Fire hazard. 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.
Fire hazard. 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.
Risk of scalding as a
result of contents
erupting!
If the hole 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 that the
hole 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 use anything but the accompanying original accessories
(measuring cup, simmering basket, splash guard and Varoma® dish) to
protect against splashes through the opening in the mixing bowl lid.
• Do not fill the simmering basket past the max. fill line.
• If you notice during the cooking process that the hole in the mixing bowl
lid is blocked, unplug the base unit. Do not touch the controls.
Risk of scalding as a
result of contents
escaping!
Hot liquid or hot food may splash and scald you.
• 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.
• Only use the accompanying original Thermomix® accessories (measuring
cup, simmering basket, splash guard and Varoma®) to prevent splashing.
• Take extra care when adding hot liquids to the mixing bowl.
• Remove the mixing bowl carefully from the base unit to help prevent
contents from spilling or splashing.
Risk of scalding as a
result of contents
boiling over!
When preparing larger quantities of food (deviation from the recipe)
at high temperatures (> 90°C), food can boil over, escape from the
mixing bowl and scald you.
• Always take extra care when cooking at high temperatures.
• If boiling over occurs, push the selector to switch off the base unit.
Risk of scalding from
hot contents escaping!
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.
• Do not abruptly increase the mixing speed when processing hot food.
Increase the speed gradually.

Thermomix® 9
Risk of scalding from
hot steam!
Steam is generated during cooking, particularly when using the
Varoma®, which can scald you.
• Keep away from the steam.
• Do not touch the measuring cup when processing hot food, never cover
the measuring cup. Ensure that steam can escape on the sides of the
measuring cup.
• Ensure that some slots in the Varoma® dish and Varoma® tray remain free
of food to avoid the uncontrolled 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 you remove the Varoma® from the mixing bowl lid and set it aside,
always keep the Varoma® lid on. Hot steam will continue to rise up
through the hole in the mixing bowl lid after removing the Varoma®.
• When removing the Varoma® lid, tilt the lid away from your face and body
to avoid escaping steam.
Risk of burns from hot
oil and fat!
The sauté function heats oil and fat. Water and oil mixtures may spit
which may burn you.
• Never pour oil or fat that has already been heated into the mixing bowl.
• Never heat oil or fat without other ingredients. If there is a delay in adding
the ingredients, the hot oil or fat will spit excessively.
• Make sure that all the accessories used are dry and free from water
residue before using oil or fat.
• Always 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.
Caramel retains a large amount of heat during and after preparation
and can cause burns.
• Take extreme care when preparing or using caramel.
Risk of scalding as a
result of improper use
of the mixing bowl lid!
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 the lid.
• Inspect the sealing ring regularly for possible damage. In case of damage
or leakage, replace the lid immediately.
• Only use the 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 or tip and injure or scald you.
• Ensure that the power cord does not hang over the edge of a table or
counter.
• Do not connect the base unit to an extension lead.
Risk of injury from
using incorrect
accessories!
The use of attachments, accessories or items not recommended or

• Place only the flat end in the mixing bowl.
Risk of scalding from
hot contents!
You could scald yourself on hot food in the simmering basket.
• Use care when removing the simmering basket and avoid any splash.
• Ensure that the spatula is hooked securely onto the simmering basket
before removing.
• Once you have put the simmering basket down, remove the spatula to
prevent the simmering basket from tipping over.
Risk of injury as a result
of the appliance falling
over!
The process of kneading dough or chopping food may cause the
Thermomix® TM6 to move. The Thermomix® TM6 could fall or tip and
injure you.
• Place the base unit on a clean, solid and even surface.
• Ensure that there is sufficient distance between the appliance and the
edge of the work surface.

Risk to health if germs
spread.
Methods of cooking such as slow cooking, fermenting (preserving)
and sous-vide cooking (vacuum-sealing food in a plastic pouch and
cooking at a temperature below 100°C) require a low cooking
temperature. Because of the low temperature, it is possible for germs
to spread.
• Ensure hygienic working practices at every stage of the food preparation
and cooking process.
• Follow the instructions in the recipe exactly (temperature and time).
• Once food has been cooked according to the instructions in the recipe,
make sure that it is consumed immediately or that it is correctly
preserved/stored.
Risk to health from
damaged accessories!
All of the accessories for the Thermomix® TM6 are specifically
designed for use with the Thermomix® TM6 and may be damaged if
not used as intended.
• Do not use the accessories for other purposes, particularly at high
temperatures.
• Do not use the spatula in hot pots and pans.
• To rule out any potential health risks, do not use the butterfly whisk for
low-temperature long-time cooking (slow cooking, sous-vide, fermenting).
• If an accessory is damaged, stop using it and replace it immediately.
Risk of burns from hot
surfaces!
When preparing hot food, the mixing bowl and the accessories that
are used will become hot. You could burn yourself on hot surfaces,
even after the heating process is completed.
• Handle the mixing bowl, mixing knife and accessories with care,
particularly during and after the preparation of hot food.
• Only use the designated handles and grips when touching all
components.
