Parents who cook for themselves and their families every day find it to be a fast and uncomplicated kitchen assistant that saves time and helps them to cook fresh and healthy meals.

Even professional and gourmet chefs, who depend on consistently perfect results, trust the Thermomix®. They use it whenever they need it for selected steps during preparation or for certain dishes.

The invention of the Thermomix® 50 years ago was a revolution because a food processor with so many functions that could independently take care of almost every step in food preparation was unthinkable. The Thermomix® is widely regarded as the original multi-functional food processor for good reason. Today, this revolutionary device goes one step further and is continuously being developed in terms of both its technical capabilities and Vorwerk’s unique and comprehensive service package, which includes thousands of tailored recipes.

The accessories include the Varoma attachment for steaming, which makes it possible to easily preserve vitamins in fresh ingredients and cook low-fat meals. There is a simmering basket for side dishes such as rice, potatoes or vegetables and for sieving fruit juices. Mousse, cream or egg whites can be beaten with the butterfly whisk, which can simply be attached to the knife. Beyond this, no further individual parts are required to use the entire range of functions. The entire device is designed with quality and efficiency in mind − even the sealing plug for the lid of the mixing bowl can also be used as a measuring cup!

Cleaning the Thermomix ® is as simple as cooking with it. Pour a maximum of 1 litre water and a little drop of dish soap or 50 g vinegar in mixing bowl and Thermomix® will pre-clean itself. Also helps when your knife is stuck (in such cases it can take up to 1 hour).

This mode can be used to ferment yoghurt or prove a yeast dough in Varoma dish in a warm environment created by the hotter temperature of the water in mixing bowl. To protect against the possibility of rust, the juice of half a squeezed lemon or a level teaspoon of vitamin C/ascorbic acid powder must be added to the water. Max. time 12 h allowed as long as the recipes in Guided Cooking include ascorbic acid or lemon juice in the water in mixing bowl when fermentation takes place in Varoma.

Sugar stages mode is only available on TM6. For safety reasons it is only possible to cook with a temperatur above 120 degrees in guided cooking. There are many caramel recipes on Cookidoo.International. For example, caramel sauce, caramel pudding, honeycomb, caramel brittle, lollipops and other sweets. Caramel is made at a very high temperature. Therefore, it is very important to be careful and not let the caramel come in contact with the skin before it cools.

No, because the highest reachable temperature is not high enough to fry your ingredients. Also, out of security reasons, this use is not intended for the TM6.

If you swipe to the left at the home screen, you are in the modes screen and can select the desired mode.

Thermomix must be placed on a clean, flat and sturdy surface. Leave sufficient distance between the machine and edge of the work space. Always keep your machine dry and clean at all times. It is especially important to keep the area around the pins underneath the mixing bowl and the contact point i the base, clean and dry. Make sure that no liquids or dirt get into the main unit. The main unit should never be exposed to liquids. It should only be cleaned with a dry or damp cloth. All other parts (except main unit) are dishwasher safe. The plastic parts, especially the mixing bowl lid, should be placed in the top dishwasher tray to prevent deformation from heat or pressure from objects above. Always follow the instructions for amounts described in documents included with the machine (Basic Cookbook and instructions manual), and as described in Thermomix recipes.

Take care of the digital scales and sensors in the feet of your Thermomix. When moving the machine: Thermomix must be liftet straight up and down. The machine must never be pushed back and forth in the work space. If it is transported in the wrong way, the feet can be damaged and the scales stop working. When you add ingredients: Do not hit the mixing bowl edges with the spatula or other tools to loosen ingredients while you cook (you can lift the mixing bowl out of the main unit if necessary). Respect the limitations: You can weigh 3 + 3 kg with the scales, in total 6 kg.

Do not manipulate or try to manually open the locking arms. This includes if the machine is stuck or perceived slower than usual. If the locking arms are stuck: Wait a few minutes before you turn the machine off. Wait another few minutes before you turn the machine on again. For transport: If the machine cannot be put in transport mode, make sure to wrap and protect the locking arms well with bubblewrap or similar.

This is a wear and tear part which is small and fragile and must be treated carefully. Put the mixing bowl carefully in and out of position.

Depending on how hard you twist the selector, it will have a shorter or longer lifespan. Make sure that any dirt accumulated around the selector is consecutively cleaned.

If the mixing knife is broken around the axis, it can indicate that the bowl has been filled with contents and/or amounts which have caused too much resistance and possibly a blockage. For safety reasons, the machine is designed so that the axis of the knife becomes the weakest point in this type of overload. This prevents other much more expensive components, such as the engine, from being damaged. The mixing knife on Thermomix is designed to cut hard food. The knife is one of the machine's wear and tear parts that you must expect to have to replace after a certain time. On average, the knife lasts for about 300 hours of use. The more you use it on hard food, of course, the lifespan of the knife is reduced.

The spatula can be used to mix or stir ingredients in the mixing bowl while the engine is running (through the hole in the lid). Insert it from the top of the bowl through the hole in the mixing bowl lid. The safety plate on the spatula ensures that it does not come into contact with the mixing knife. This means that you can use the spatula through the lid, while you cook, stir or chop food in your Thermomix. You can remove the hot simmering basket from the mixing bowl by using the hook on the spatula. Place the hook on the spatula in the notch on the simmering basket. 1. Make sure that the hook is firmly attached. 2. Remove the simmering basket from the mixing bowl using the handle on the spatula. You can transfer the simmeringbasket to the sink to allow water to drain off. 3. You can remove the spatula by taking the hook out of the notch. If the spatula comes in contact with a sharp object such as the knife in the mixing bowl or something else, it may tear and be damaged.

If your Thermomix is cracked in the cover / housing by, for example, falling to the ground, being stepped on or not being transported carefully, it is necessary to replace the part / parts that are cracked. Cracks can cause the machine to not work optimally and can result in other parts being damaged.

Thermomix TM6 is constantly being improved. It is therefore important to always install new software updates on your Thermomix TM6. Software updates are necessary for bug fixes, new features and for your machine to be at its best. When a new software update is available, you will receive a notification on your Thermomix TM6. If you want to check for and install new updates, you can do this under "Settings" on the machine.
