Vorwerk Thermomix TM 31 Instruction Manual page 7

Danger of injury by usage of not intended items
or equipment
• Use only parts provided with the Thermomix
TM 31 (page 10–11) or original spare parts from
Vorwerk Thermomix.
• Never use the Thermomix TM 31 in combination
with parts or equipment not provided by Vorwerk
Thermomix.
• Use only the measuring cup to close the opening in
the mixing bowl lid. Do not cover mixing bowl lid
with towels or similar items.
• Use only the spatula with safety disk for stirring
food in mixing bowl. Never use other items such
as spoons, cooking spoons or any other tools for
stirring. These might get caught in the rotating
mixing knife, possibly resulting in injury.
• Lock the mixing bowl lid before inserting the
spatula through the opening in the mixing bowl lid.
Property damage
Thermomix TM 31 can move
• Place your Thermomix TM 31 on a clean, solid,
even and non-heatable surface so that it cannot
slip. Keep Thermomix TM 31 in a sufficient
distance from the edge of this surface to prevent
it from falling down. When preparing dough or
chopping food, an imbalance can develop in the
mixing bowl which, under certain circumstances,
may cause the whole appliance to move. Do not,
therefore, leave the appliance unattended while it
is operating as it might fall from the work surface.
Notes for your safety
Risk of damage
• By hot steam: Ensure a sufficient distance over
Thermomix TM 31 and VAROMA (suspended
cupboards, shelving) and around them to prevent
damage of hot escaping steam.

distance between the Thermomix TM 31 and
external heat sources such as radiators, hot
plates, ovens etc.
Do not place the Thermomix or its connecting
cable on any heat source (e. g. hot plates, cooking
elements, stove or oven) because unintended
turning on may cause damage to the appliance.
• By leaking out food: Ensure sealing ring of
mixing knife is fitted to the knife bearing. If there
is no sealing ring the food to be mixed or cooked
may leak out and damage the appliance.
• By insufficient cooling of Thermomix TM 31:
Ensure ventilation openings on both sides of the
appliance are always free from splashes of fat,
food leftovers or suchlike and not covered.
Otherwise damage of the applicance may occur.
• By improper use: Use Thermomix TM 31 only
with alternating current and a mains power supply
duly installed by a specialist.
The mains power supply voltage and mains
frequency must correspond with the type plate
(on the bottom of the main appliance).
