CARE AND MAINTENENCE
Regularly inspect your Thermomix™ and its accessories (including the mixing
bowl, the connecting cable and the sealing ring of the mixing bowl lid) for
possible damage. Do not use your Thermomix™ with damaged accessories.
As with all kitchen appliances or tableware, you should clean all parts of your
Thermomix™ – especially the mixing knife, the mixing bowl, the mixing
bowl lid and its seal ring – thoroughly before using it for the first time and
after every usage.
How to clean the mixing bowl and its lid
WARNING
The blades of the mixing knife can cut
BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Hold the upper part of the
mixing knife when removing or re-inserting it.
NOTICE
Never use pointed or sharp objects for cleaning as this may damage
functional parts or affect the safety of the Thermomix™.
Remove the mixing bowl from the Thermomix™ and remove the mixing knife
(see pages 16–18).
Now clean the inside and outside of the mixing bowl (without the mixing
knife) 1 with cleansing agent and a soft cloth. The mixing knife, spatula,
butterfly whisk, simmering basket, measuring cup, mixing bowl lid and
Varoma can be cleaned in the same way or cleaned in the dishwasher.
If food is sticking in the mixing bowl use a special cleansing agent for
stainless steel.
Ensure that the contact pins at the bottom of the mixing bowl are always
clean and dry before you insert the mixing bowl. If necessary wipe them off.
We recommend that you dismantle the mixing bowl for cleaning.
To help prevent damage to the Thermomix™, ensure that the ventilation
openings on the rear and bottom sides of the Thermomix™ are free from
obstruction. This is especially important if your Thermomix™ is covered with
protection grids. Be sure to remove the protection grids during cleaning.

How to clean the mixing knife
1
• Do not leave the mixing knife in water for a long time as this may
damage the gasket system of the knife bearing.
• That leaving the mixing knife in food residues or using a very aggressive
dishwasher agent may result in the development of rust. This is harm-
less and may be removed easily with a brush or a soft vinegar solution.
To clean the mixing knife hold it under running water with the mixing knife
pointing upwards, as shown in picture 2 . In order to facilitate the cleaning,
use a brush or clean it in the dishwasher.
Carefully re-assemble the mixing bowl and mixing knife (incl. seal ring).
How to clean the Varoma
• All components are dishwasher-safe. Place plastic parts, in particular
the mixing bowl lid, into the top rack of the dishwasher in order to avoid
deformation resulting from exposure to higher temperatures and
pressure from items above.
• Some foods and liquids such as curry, carrot juice, and those with citric
acid content may cause staining. Wipe such substances off the mixing
bowl lid, its seal ring, the spatula, the simmering basket, Butterfly Whisk
and all Varoma parts as quickly as possible. Any residual staining will
disappear in time and does not affect your health or how the parts
function.
To clean the Varoma, wash dish, tray and lid carefully in warm, soapy water
or in the dishwasher. Use a soft, clean cloth and gentle cleansing agents for
cleaning 3 . Avoid using sharp objects or metal scouring pads, as these will
cause scratches.
