1 Find the Perfect Home for Your TM7


  1. Permanent spot – You’ll use it more if it lives on the counter.

  2. Safety rules – Dry area, level surface, away from hobs & kettles.

  3. Ventilation – Rear vents must stay clean for accurate weighing.

  4. Power lead – Gently pull the in-body reel to the length you need (≤ 1 m) and keep the cord free—never park the base on top of it.


2 First Clean Before You Cook

Health first: Wash away factory residues.

  • Disassemble the bowl (unlock lever, remove knife, lift steel insert).

  • Pop bowl parts, Varoma®, basket, whisk and spatula into the dishwasher or sink.

  • Base stays dry—wipe with a damp cloth only.


3 Switch On & Onboard


  1. Press the power button; follow the welcome wizard.

  2. Log into your Cookidoo® account over Wi-Fi (get UK recipes instantly).

  3. Accept any firmware update—it may run automatically.

  4. Adjust language, °C/°F and grams/ounces later under More › Settings.


4 Mixing Bowl Basics


Assemble

  • Steel bowl into insulation cover → insert knife (blades down) → slide lever toward handle until you feel a solid click.


Disassemble

  • Cool first! Slide lever away, lift knife by the top (blades sharp), then remove steel bowl.


Capacity reminders: 2.2 L max • 2 L (II) • 1 L (I) marks etched inside.
