CLEANING

Please clean all parts of your Thermomix – especially the mixing knife, the
®
mixing bowl, the mixing bowl lid and its seal ring – thoroughly before using
it for the first time and after every usage.

How to clean the mixing bowl and its lid

WARNING
The blades of the mixing knife can cut
BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Hold the upper part of the
mixing knife when removing or re-inserting it.
NOTICE
Leaks from around the mixing knife may damage the
Thermomix®
• Ensure that the sealing ring of the mixing knife is fitted to the knife bearing.
• Ensure that the mixing knife is locked into the bowl base correctly.
• If liquid leaks or spills into Thermomix® base unplug the Thermomix® and
refer to the care and maintenance section for cleaning.
NOTICE
Never use pointed or sharp objects for cleaning as this may damage
functional parts or affect the safety of the Thermomix®.
48 Cleaning
Remove the mixing bowl from the Thermomix and remove the mixing knife
®
(see pages 17–18).
Now clean the inside and outside of the mixing bowl (without the mixing
knife) 1 either in hot water with cleansing agent and a soft cloth or in the
dishwasher; the mixing knife, spatula, butterfly whisk, simmering basket,
measuring cup, mixing bowl lid and Varoma can be cleaned in the same way.
If food is sticking in the mixing bowl use a special cleansing agent for
stainless steel.
Ensure that the contact pins at the bottom of the mixing bowl are always
clean and dry before you insert the mixing bowl. If necessary wipe them off.
We recommend that you dismantle the mixing bowl for cleaning, especially
when you clean it in the dishwasher.

How to clean the mixing knife

NOTICE
• Do not leave the mixing knife in water for a long time as this may
damage the gasket system of the knife bearing.
• That leaving the mixing knife in food residues or using a very aggressive
dishwasher agent may result in the development of rust. This is harm-
less and may be removed easily with a brush or a soft vinegar solution.
NOTICE
Leakages near the mixing knife may damage the Thermomix®. Make sure
that the sealing ring of the mixing knife is properly positioned on the knife
bearing. Ensure that the mixing knife is correctly anchored in the mixing
bowl base.
To clean the mixing knife hold it under running water with the mixing knife
pointing upwards, as shown in picture 2 . In order to facilitate the cleaning,
use a brush or clean it in the dishwasher. Carefully re-assemble the mixing
bowl and mixing knife (incl. seal ring).
