WORKING WITH THE
THERMOMIX®
Starting the Thermomix
®
Pull the power cord lightly from the housing and connect
it to the mains power supply. You can choose whatever
length of power cord you need, up to 1 m. If you do not
need the whole length of the power cord the remaining
length can be kept inside the Thermomix
®
. Make sure
that there is no strain on the cable so that the scales can
work properly. Do not place the Thermomix
®
on the
power cord. If you do, the Thermomix
®
will not sit evenly
on the surface and the scales will not weigh accurately.
Now the Thermomix
®
is ready to operate.
Switch the Thermomix
®
on by pressing the selector.
The Home screen

will then appear.
Press the Home icon to return to the Home screen from
the various menu options. On the Home screen, you can
reset the dials by touching and holding the home icon.
Find a permanent place in your kitchen for your
Thermomix
®
right from the start so that it is ready to use
whenever you need it.

CAUTION
Thermomix® can move
Place your Thermomix® on a clean, solid, even and
non-heatable surface so that it cannot slip. Keep the
Thermomix® at a sufficient distance from the edge
ofthe surface to prevent it from falling off.
Risk of damage by hot steam
Ensure that there is a sufficient clearance above and
around the Thermomix® and Varoma (for example
below suspended cupboards or shelving) to prevent
damage from hot escaping steam.
