under certain circumstances, may cause
the whole Thermomix
®
TM5 to move.
Do not leave the Thermomix
®
TM5
unattended while it is kneading dough
or chopping food.
Risk of damage
• By hot steam: Ensure that there is a
sufficient clearance above and around
the Thermomix
®
TM5 and Varoma (for
example below suspended cupboards
or shelving) to prevent damage from
hot escaping steam.
• By external heat source: Keep a
sufficient distance between the
Thermomix
®
TM5 and external heat
sources such as radiators, hot plates,
ovens, hobs, etc. Do not place the
Thermomix
®
TM5 or its connecting
cable on any heat source as this may
cause damage to the Thermomix
®
TM5.
Do not place the Thermomix
®
TM5
on hot surfaces.
• By leaking out ingredients:
Ensure that the sealing ring of the
mixing knife is fitted to the knife
bearing. If there is no sealing ring the
ingredients may leak out and damage
the Thermomix
®
TM5. Ensure
that the mixing knife is locked into
the bowl base correctly.
• By insufficient cooling of
Thermomix
®
TM5: Ensure that the
ventilation openings on the rear side and
on the bottom of the Thermomix
®
TM5
are always free from splashes of fat,
food, leftovers and other substances, and
are not covered. Otherwise damage to
the Thermomix
®
TM5 may occur. This
is especially important if the ventilation
openings of your Thermomix
®
TM5 are
covered with protection grids. Be sure
to remove the protection grids during
every cleaning process.
• By improper power supply: Only
use the Thermomix
®
TM5 with
alternating current and a mains power
supply duly installed by an electrician.
The mains power supply voltage and
mains frequency must correspond
with the type plate on the bottom of
the main Thermomix
®
TM5.
• By corrosion: Ensure that you
thoroughly dry the contact pins of the
mixing bowl after cleaning the mixing
bowl, so no moisture can enter the
Thermomix
®
TM5 via the contact pins.
• By short-circuiting the
Thermomix
®
TM5 recipe chip
interface: Never touch the
Thermomix
®
Recipe chip interface
contacts with metal obejcts,
e.g. spoons. You could damage your
Thermomix
®
TM5.
