A clear, quick-read summary of the official TM7 manual, tailored for British homes.

Overview (One-Screen Summary)

Topic	Key Fact
Area of Application	Domestic food prep; similar small-scale environments only.
Service Life	7 years (per UK Department for Business standard).
Approved Users	Adults 18 + — keep children away, even with supervision.
Improper Use	Never place TM7 or accessories in oven, hob or microwave.
Max Fill (Bowl)	2.2 L; “max” line etched inside.
Operating Temperature	10 °C – 40 °C ambient; butterfly ≤ 100 °C at ≤ speed 4.

1. Intended Use

Thermomix TM7 is engineered solely for preparing food and drink at home (or in similar break-room settings). Using it for chemical, craft or industrial tasks voids all warranties and may breach UK consumer-safety law.

Quick Checklist

✔️ Chop, cook, knead, steam, whip.
❌ No candle-making, soap batches or lab experiments.
❌ No outdoor catering trucks (temperature range too wide).

2. Service Life Expectation

Vorwerk rates the TM7 for a minimum service life of 7 years when used as directed. Registering with My Thermomix ensures UK-backed parts and repair support throughout

that period.

3. Who May Use the TM7?

Group	Allowed?	Caveats
Adults (18 + )	✅	Read manual first.
Children < 18	❌	Even if supervised — keep out of reach.
Older adults / users with limited mobility	✅	Must be trained & understand steam/heat risks.

Tip for parents & carers: The 10-inch screen is bright and tempting; set the TM7 well back on the counter to deter curious hands.

4. Improper Use & Warranty Red Flags

Never house the TM7 or its Varoma® in ovens, microwaves or on hobs — plastics will warp and electronics will fail.
Technical modifications (e.g., DIY plug swaps) cancel all UK statutory rights and product liability.

5. Maximum Fill Quantities

Component	Limit	Real-world example
Mixing Bowl	2.2 L liquids/foods	Family soup, 1.5 kg bread dough
Oil (Browning Mode)	100 ml	Sauté onions without splatter
Simmering Basket	1.4 L / ~350 g rice	Perfect basmati for 4

Safety note: Overfilling increases pressure and steam-burn risk. Always respect the internal measuring lines.

6. Operating Limits & Temperature Ranges

Accessory / Mode	Max Speed	Max Temp	Time Cap
Butterfly Whisk	4	100 °C	2 h
Simmering Basket	—	100 °C	—
Base Unit	—	Ambient 10 – 40 °C	—
Spatula Use	—	Brief contact only	—

7. Applicable Documents & Local Regulations

Always cross-check:

On-screen prompts (auto updates via Wi-Fi).
PDF user manual (latest UK edition).
Local kitchen PAT-test rules if you’re in rented accommodation.

Devices sold through authorised Thermomix UK & Ireland advisors meet British safety legislation (BS EN 60335). Using an import unit may leave you unprotected.
