A concise breakdown of the Safety section of the TM7 manual, helping UK cooks avoid shocks, burns and warranty-voiding mistakes.
Overview (Quick-View Table)
Area | #1 Risk | Golden Rule |
Setup Location | Electric shock & fire | Keep TM7 dry, off hobs, on a flat surface with steam clearance. |
High-Temp Cooking | Burns & scalds | Never exceed the 2.2 L mark; open lids away from you. |
Food Hygiene | Bacterial growth | Wash all food-contact parts before first use; chill perishables fast. |
Accessory Handling | Cuts & jams | Lock knife, insert tools correctly, use only genuine Thermomix parts. |
Cleaning & Repairs | Shock & rust | Unplug before wiping base; dry contact pins fully; never DIY-repair. |
1 Choose the Right Setup Spot
What to DO
Place on a clean, level, heat-proof counter, at least one hand-width from the edge.
Leave vertical clearance for the Varoma® so steam can rise freely.
Plug directly into a wall socket—no extension leads.
What to AVOID
Wet zones and outdoor patios.
Sitting TM7 on or next to hobs, toasters, kettles or induction rings.
Letting the power lead dangle where kids can tug it.
2 Handle High Temperatures Like a Pro
Keep the lid cap on unless the Varoma® is fitted.
Never lift a full, hot bowl off the base; empty first.
Soups, jams & casseroles → ≤ 100 °C & speed 2 unlocked to prevent pressure bursts.
Open the Varoma® and bowl lid away from your face; steam burns hurt!
Pour oils only up to 100 ml in Browning Mode and add ingredients immediately to stop spitting.
3 Food-Safety Essentials
Wash all food-contact parts before first cook.
Stick to the UK cold-chain rule: refrigerate perishables within 2 hours (1 hour if > 30 °C ambient).
Spatula = bowl-only—don’t stir your frying pan with it (it will melt).
4 Accessory & Appliance Safety
Accessory | Must-Do | Never-Do |
Mixing Knife | Lock lever fully before use. | Grab blades or disassemble a filled bowl. |
Butterfly Whisk | Max speed 4, ≤ 100 °C. | Run Pre-clean with whisk fitted. |
Simmering Basket | Lift with spatula hook. | Fill above 1.4 L or 350 g rice. |
Magnets in Lid | Warn users with pacemakers. | Store lids near magnetic-sensitive devices. |
5 Care & Maintenance Checklist
Unplug before wiping the base; use a damp cloth only.
Dry contact pins thoroughly to prevent hidden rust.
Avoid scourers, bleach, benzene or acetone on any TM7 part.
Inspect lid seal, power cord and knife after every big cook; replace if cracked or frayed.
If dropped or damaged, send to Vorwerk UK service—DIY fixes void warranty and risk shock.
