Things to remember

Sleep mode

If the Thermomix TM 31 is connected to mains
supply but not used it will automatically switch
to standby (sleep mode) after approx. 15 minu-
tes. The display will be blank. To re-activate the
appliance press any key on the control panel. To
switch the Thermomix TM 31 to sleep mode
press and hold the
seconds until "OFF" appears. The appliance can
now be re-activated only by a short press on the
button. In sleep mode, power consumption
of the Thermomix TM 31 is less than 1 W.

Electronic motor protection

All recipes contained in the Thermomix TM 31
recipe book have been developed in such a way
that the motor protection will not respond if all
directions are observed.
But even if quantities are exceeded, the motor
is protected by an automatic switch-off functi-
on. In such cases, the display will show the
error message "E.r 29". If the motor has turned
off:
- put the speed selector to
- remove the mixing bowl from the appli-
ance,
- reduce the quantity contained in the bowl
and/or add some liquid,
- wait for approx. 5 minutes (cooling down
time),
- re-insert the mixing bowl,
- re-start the Thermomix TM 31 by means
of the speed selector.
- If the error message "E.r 29" is still displayed
after the cooling time please call our customer
service.

Smells

When the appliance is used for the first time it
may smell. If the motor is subjected to a high
load during food preparation, the motor may
overheat and start smelling, in addition to the
possibility of an automatic switch-off of the
appliance. This is completely harmless and after
the cooling-down time indicated above, the
appliance will again be in perfect working order.

Cleaning

Disconnect the appliance from mains power
supply before cleaning. Do not immerse the
Thermomix TM 31 in water or use a lot of water
when cleaning. No water must enter the hou-
sing. Wipe the housing with a damp soft cloth
and a gentle cleansing agent.
All components - except for the mixing blade -
are dishwasher-proof. Some of the plastic parts
may become slightly discoloured.
Clean the mixing blade with a sponge or a brush
under running water. Never leave it in dishwater
or clean it in the dishwasher.
Be careful when re-assembling the Thermomix
TM 31 (see section on first cleaning and assem-
bly). If the mixing bowl or the other components
are only slightly soiled it is sufficient to perform
a short mixing operation with water and a few
drops of cleansing agent, followed by rinsing. If
food is sticking use a special cleansing agent for
stainless steel.
To improve ventilation during storage, do not
close the mixing bowl with the measuring cup.
If you do not use the Thermomix TM 31 for a
prolonged period of time we recommend that
you disconnect it from mains supply.
