WARNING
To avoid scalding, burn injury and
laceration hazard, do not try to
open the mixing bowl lid by force.
• Only open the mixing bowl lid when
the speed is set to "O" and the locking
mechanism has released it.
WARNING
If the hole in the mixing bowl lid is
blocked with food and the heating
is active, an overpressure can build
up in the mixing bowl and the hot
contents can erupt from it.
• While cooking, if you find the hole
in the mixing bowl lid blocked or if
the measuring cup is being pushed
up, unplug the Thermomix™ TM5.
DO NOT touch the controls.
• Do not fill the simmering basket past
the max fill line.
• Do not fill the mixing bowl past the
max fill line (2.2 liters).
• Ensure that the hole in the mixing
bowl lid remains free of food.
• Do not block or cover the hole in the
mixing bowl lid.
WARNING
You may get burned or scalded by
escaping hot food or steam or by
touching hot surfaces.
• Remove mixing bowl carefully to help
prevent contents from spilling or
splashing.
• Do not let the power cord hang over
edge of table or counter, or touch any
hot surface, such as a stove.
• Place Thermomix™ TM5 on a clean,
solid, even surface to help prevent it
from slipping.
• Never use the Thermomix™ TM5
in combination with parts or
equipment for older generations of
Thermomix™ TM5 .

recommended or sold by Vorwerk may
cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• To avoid injury when processing hot
food, place the measuring cup into the
opening of the mixing bowl lid and
do not touch or fix the measuring cup.
• Using the turbo mode or abruptly
increasing mixing speed with hot food
may result in scalding injury. When
processing hot food, increase the speed
gradually.
• Do not touch the surface of the mixing
bowl, the mixing bowl lid, the Varoma
and parts of the measuring cup as
they will become hot when processing
hot food.
• Touch only the handles on the sides of
the Varoma when the Varoma is hot.
