Working with the Thermomix TM 31
Working with the
Thermomix TM 31
Find a permanent place in your kitchen for your
Thermomix TM 31 right from the start so that it is
ready at hand whenever you need it.
Starting the Thermomix TM 31
Pull the electric cable lightly from the housing and
connect it to the mains supply. You can choose
whatever length of cable you need, up to 1 m. If
you do not need the whole length of the cable the
remaining length is kept inside the Thermomix TM 31
avoiding any tiresome “spaghetti” of cables! Please
avoid removing or re-inserting the cable frequently
as this may result in cable rupture. Make sure that
there is no strain on the cable so that the scales
work properly. Do not place the appliance on the
cable. If you do, the appliance will not sit firmly on
the surface and the scales will not weigh accurately.
Now the appliance is operable.
Please turn the appliance on by pushing the
button. The display shows the timer mode .
Before you start using your Thermomix TM 31 con-
sider the following tips to make your work easier:
A safety device is provided which prevents the
Thermomix TM 31 from operating if the mixing bowl
has not been inserted properly and the lid has not
been correctly locked (speed selector is blocked).
Likewise, a safety device prevents the lid from
opening while the appliance is operating.
The electronic scales work within a temperature
range between –20°C and +50°C (4°F and +122°F).
If the appliance has been transported in winter
and the temperature falls below –20°C (–4°F)
wait until the Thermomix TM 31 has reached room
temperature again. In this way, the integrated
scales will work perfectly. If you do not need your
Thermomix TM 31 for a prolonged period of time
please disconnect it from mains supply as you do
with most electric appliances (economizing on
power consumption; see also: “Sleep mode”,
page 35)

CAUTION
Thermomix TM 31 can move
Place your Thermomix TM 31 on a clean, solid
and even surface so that it cannot slip. Keep a
sufficient distance from the edge of this surface
to prevent Thermomix TM 31 from falling down.
Risk of damage by hot steam
Ensure a sufficient distance over Thermomix
TM 31 and VAROMA (suspended cupboards,
shelving) and around them to prevent damage of
hot escaping steam.
