Hazards and Safety Instructions

Risk of electric shock if water enters appliance.	If water gets into the electrical components, you could get an electric shock. Always unplug the appliance when it is not in use. Do not immerse the base unit in water or other liquids. Do not hold the base unit under running water. Do not pour water over the base unit. Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply before cleaning the base unit. Clean the base unit with a dry or damp cloth only. No water or dirt should enter the base unit. Do not use the appliance outdoors. If water has managed to get into the appliance, contact your Vorwerk repair service.
Risk of an electric shock from improper connection to the power supply.	An incorrectly installed power connection may cause an electric shock. Only connect the base unit to a plug installed by a qualified specialist.
Risk of an electric shock if the base unit or power cord are damaged.	If the base unit or power cord are damaged, you could get an electric shock. Regularly inspect the base unit, power cord and accessories for possible damage. Ensure that the power cord does not touch hot surfaces or external heat sources. Never use the base unit if the power cord is damaged. Do not use the base unit if it is dropped or damaged in any way. In the event of damage to the base unit or the power cord, return the base unit to the Vorwerk repair service for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. If the power cord on the base unit has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its repair service or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazards. Never attempt to repair the base unit yourself. Never put your fingers into the openings that are intended for the contact pins on the base of the mixing bowl and do not insert any objects into these openings.
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. The base unit has a high power consumption. An insufficient power rating could cause a fire. When connecting the base unit, please observe the maximum power consumption as indicated on the plug label (see also the section on Technical Data). Never use power strips or other equipment between the socket and the base unit.
Risk of scalding as a result of contents erupting.	If the opening in the mixing bowl lid is sealed, excess pressure can build up inside the mixing bowl during the cooking process. The hot contents could suddenly erupt and scald you. Do not fill the simmering basket past the max. fill line. To allow steam to escape at all times and prevent excess pressure, ensure the opening in the mixing bowl lid is never blocked or covered – either from the inside (e.g. by the contents) or from the outside (e.g. by a towel). If you are cooking at 95°C or above and not using the simmering basket inside the mixing bowl, only use the simmering basket or Varoma dish to protect against splashes through the opening in the mixing bowl lid, as they only sit loosely on top of the lid. Do not under any circumstances use other objects to cover the opening. Always place the original mixing bowl lid on the mixing bowl during operation. If you notice during the cooking process that the opening in the mixing bowl lid is blocked, unplug the base unit. Do not touch the controls.
Risk of scalding as a result of contents erupting.	Ingredients that float to the top of the mixing bowl during cooking can prevent steam from escaping, which can cause an increase of pressure in the mixing bowl. The hot contents could suddenly erupt and scald you. Do not under any circumstances fill the mixing bowl past the max. fill line (2.2 litres). If you are cooking at 95°C or above and not using the simmering basket inside the mixing bowl, only use the simmering basket or Varoma dish to protect against splashes through the opening in the mixing bowl lid, as they only sit loosely on top of the lid. Always cook soups, casseroles and jams at a temperature no higher than 100°C. Use the Varoma dish at higher temperatures, as stated in the recipe. Never use the TM6 measuring cup, which fits tightly in the opening in the mixing bowl lid, when cooking at 95°C or above. Only use the splash guard when you are sautéing food and have been instructed by the appliance to put the splash guard on.
Risk of scalding as a result of contents escaping.	When cooking or preparing hot food, it can splash and scald you. Do not fill the mixing bowl past the max. fill line (2.2 litres). Ensure that the opening in the mixing bowl lid remains free of food. If you are cooking at 95°C or above and not using the simmering basket inside the mixing bowl, only use the simmering basket or Varoma dish to protect against splashes through the opening in the mixing bowl lid, as they only sit loosely on top of the lid. Put the measuring cup into the mixing bowl lid to prevent spatter when mixing, chopping or puréeing hot food. Take extra care when adding 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.	If you deviate from the recipe instructions and cook larger quantities of food at higher temperatures (> 90°C), the food can boil over, escape from the mixing bowl and scald you. Do not under any circumstances fill the mixing bowl past the max. fill line (2.2 litres). Take extra care when cooking at high temperatures. If boiling over occurs, push the selector to stop the appliance.
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. When blending hot food, increase the speed gradually.
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. When preparing hot food, do not touch or cover the measuring cup. Ensure that some slots in the Varoma dish and Varoma tray remain free of food to allow the controlled 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 removing the Varoma from the mixing bowl lid and setting it aside, always keep the Varoma lid on. When removing the Varoma lid, tilt the lid away from the face and body to avoid escaping steam.
Risk of burns from hot fat.	The High Temperature Mode heats fat. Water and oil mixtures may spit. You could burn yourself on the hot fat. Never pour fat that has already been heated into the mixing bowl. Never heat oil at High Temperature without other ingredients. If there is a delay in adding the ingredients, the hot fat will spit excessively. Make sure that all Thermomix TM6 accessories used are dry. 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 it. Inspect the sealing ring regularly for possible damage. In case of damage or leakage, replace the lid immediately. Only use the appliance 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.
Risk of scalding and injury.	The base unit may be accidentally pulled by a trailing cable. The base unit could fall over and injure or scald you. Do not let the power cord 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 that are neither recommended nor sold by Vorwerk, or the use of defective or incompatible accessory parts may cause fire, electric shock or injury. Use only the recommended original Vorwerk Thermomix accessories. Never use the appliance in combination with parts or equipment for older generations of Thermomix. Do not modify the appliance or any of the accessories. Never use the appliance with damaged accessories.
Risk of injury from improper use.	If you use other utensils apart from the Thermomix spatula to stir food in the mixing bowl, they could get caught in the mixing knife and cause injury. Only use the Thermomix spatula with the safety disk for stirring. Only put the flat end of the spatula into the mixing bowl and not the end with the handle.
Risk of scalding from hot contents.	If the spatula is held in the mixing bowl on higher speed settings, food may accidentally be directed through the opening in the mixing bowl lid and scald you. Never hold the spatula in the mixing bowl when mixing/chopping hot food on speeds higher than speed setting 4.
Risk of scalding from hot contents.	You could scald yourself on hot food in the simmering basket. Use care when removing the simmering basket. Ensure that the spatula is hooked securely onto the simmering basket before taking the simmering basket out. 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 appliance to move. The appliance could fall over and injure you. Place the appliance on a clean, solid and even surface. Ensure that there is sufficient distance between the appliance and the edge of the work surface. Never leave the appliance unattended while it is running.
Risk of injury from damaged accessories.	If accessories get caught in the mixing knife or excessive force is applied during use, small splinters and sharp edges could cause injury, especially if the splinters are swallowed with the prepared food. Only use Thermomix accessories as described in the operating instructions and on the display of the base unit. Make sure that the accessories required are correctly and securely inserted and that no accessories are loose in the mixing bowl before you set the speed. Check accessories for damage after use. If any accessories are damaged by the mixing knife during food preparation, discard the food and contact Customer Care for replacement accessories.
Risk to health from illness due to spread of germs.	Sous-vide and slow cooking involve cooking food at low temperatures, which could cause bacteria 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 the food has been cooked, make sure that it is consumed immediately. In many cases, it is necessary to briefly sear meat and poultry after sous-vide cooking. A brief searing at the end of the process will reduce the risk of bacteria on the surface of the food that may cause illness. Follow the instructions in the Vorwerk Thermomix recipes to minimise any risk.
Risk to health if germs spread.	Food is fermented at low temperatures, which could lead to the spread of harmful bacteria. Ensure hygienic working practices at every stage of the food preparation and cooking process. Once the food has been fermented, transfer it to the refrigerator immediately.
Risk to health from incorrect use of accessories.	All Thermomix accessories are specifically designed for use on or with the appliance and could get damaged if not used properly. Do not use Thermomix accessories for other purposes, particularly at high temperatures. Do not use the spatula in hot pots and pans. Never use the butterfly whisk for more than two hours (when cooking food over a long period of time, e.g. slow cooking, sous-vide, fermenting) to rule out any possible adverse effects on health. Should an accessory become 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 also get hot. You could burn yourself on hot surfaces even after the heating process has finished. 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. Allow the mixing bowl and the mixing knife to cool sufficiently before dismantling the mixing bowl and removing the mixing knife.
Risk of injury.	The blades on the mixing knife are sharp and can injure you. Handle the mixing knife with care. Never take hold of the mixing knife by the blades. Use care when removing the mixing knife to prevent it from falling out. Do not reach into the mixing bowl. Keep parts of the body and hair away from the mixing knife.
Risk of injury from pinching your fingers.	You can catch your fingers in the locking arms on the base unit or under the closed lid. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts. Do not touch the locking arms or the lid while the locking mechanism is opening or closing.
Risk to health from production residues.	Production residues that may be present on the components of the appliance are not suitable for consumption. Any production residues can pose a risk to your health. Before first use, thoroughly rinse all components and accessories that could come into contact with food.
Material damage from steam.	If you place the appliance directly under furniture and fittings (shelving units, wall units or similar), they could get damaged by any steam that is released. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance above and around the appliance. Also take into account the additional height of the Varoma.
Damage to the appliance as a result of an incorrect power connection.	If the base unit is connected to an inadequate power supply, it will get damaged. Only operate the base unit with the alternating current voltage and mains frequency stated on the plug label.
Risk of damage from improper use of the Varoma.	The appliance can get damaged if there is too little water in the mixing bowl. Make sure that there is enough water in the mixing bowl. The appliance vaporises approx. 250 ml of water in 15 minutes. Top up the water if necessary, especially if you have subsequently increased the steaming time.
Damage to the appliance as a result of incorrect cleaning or failure to observe instructions on long-time cooking.	If the mixing bowl and mixing knife are in contact with water, other liquids or food residues for a long time, they could get damaged. Always clean the components directly after use. Do not leave the mixing knife in water for a long time as this may damage the gasket system of the knife bearing. Because of variations in water quality, oxidation of parts may occur in the mixing bowl when cooking food over a long period of time (slow cooking, sousvide or fermenting). Please therefore follow the instructions on adding special ingredients (e.g. citric acid) to the cooking water.
Corrosion inside the appliance.	Ensure that the mixing bowl and especially the contact pins underneath are thoroughly dried after cleaning. If you use the mixing bowl when it is still wet, rust could form inside the base unit. Allow the mixing bowl to dry fully before inserting it into the base unit.
Material damage as a result of the incorrect assembly of the mixing knife.	If the mixing knife is not correctly inserted and locked into place or the sealing ring is damaged, moisture can get inside the appliance and damage the base unit. Ensure that the sealing ring of the mixing knife is fitted to the knife bearing. Ensure that the sealing ring on the mixing knife shows no signs of damage. Ensure that the mixing knife is correctly inserted and locked into place before filling the mixing bowl. If liquid leaks or spills into the housing of the base unit, unplug the appliance and contact the repair service.
Material damage from improper use.	If the butterfly whisk comes into contact with the mixing knife or other accessories when the appliance is running, it could crack or break. Ensure that the butterfly whisk is correctly attached to the mixing knife before setting the speed. Do not exceed speed 4 when the butterfly whisk is fitted. Do not use the spatula when the butterfly whisk is fitted. Do not add any ingredients that could damage or block the butterfly whisk.
Material damage from improper use.	The soft side of the spatula, in particular, can get damaged by the mixing knife. Take care when using the spatula to press down food in the mixing bowl or to scrape out the mixing bowl. Never allow the spatula to come into contact with the sharp edges of the mixing knife blades. Only move the spatula in a clockwise direction when stirring or scraping out the mixing bowl near the mixing knife.
