Introduction
We rarely go deep on care and fixes—yet this is what new owners are also asking. Here’s a practical, UK-ready playbook of tips and tricks to keep your TM7 spotless, odour-free and running perfectly, plus fixes for the most common warning messages.
Daily 3-minute clean (after each cook)
Pre-Clean mode: water + tiny drop of washing-up liquid → run the cycle that matches what you cooked (e.g., “dough” or “universal”).
Quick rinse: remove bowl; rinse lid, basket, Varoma.
Dry & air: re-assemble loosely; store lid ajar so seals dry and smells don’t build.
Weekly deep clean (10–15 mins)
Blade out: unlock base, lift blades by hub (sharp!) and wash separately.
Seal & rim: scrub the silicone ring and lid groove.
Varoma de-cloud: white film = limescale/steam residue; wash with warm soapy water, then a splash of vinegar rinse; air-dry.
Feet & worktop: wipe the rubber feet and keep the cable slack. Stable, level placement keeps scales accurate.
Odours & stains
Odours: blitz warm water + lemon slice 20–30 sec; or soak bowl 30 mins with bicarbonate. Dry with lid ajar.
Turmeric/curry stains (plastics): sunlight fades them; otherwise a bicarb paste, gentle rub, rinse. (Avoid harsh abrasives.)
Burnt-on or sticky
Fill above blades with warm water + drop of soap → Pre-Clean.
Still stuck? Soak 30–60 mins; use bottle brush around blades (not under tips).
Scale/weight issues
Place on flat, stable surface; keep cable from touching the counter edge; wipe feet dry.
Tare before each addition; add tiny amounts slowly (scales settle to 1 g).
For persistent errors, power-cycle; if unresolved, contact support.
Top warning messages & what to do
“Reduce quantity/overload” → Split into two batches; check you’re under MAX line.
“Lid not closed/MC missing” → Reseat lid/seal; insert MC or basket guard if recipe says.
“Motor protection active” → Let it cool; check for very thick mixtures (dough too heavy).
Leaks during blend → Check seal seated, base locked, lid ring intact; replace worn seals.
Monthly care checklist
Inspect seal for stretch/tears; replace if odour persists.
Check blade edges; if dull after heavy use, plan a replacement.
Verify firmware updates (new modes and fixes).
Re-read safety notes for high-temp/open-lid steps.
