Varoma^® is a special setting for steam cooking and steaming ingredients. You can adjust your temperature setting on the display via the temperature selector. The maximum temperature on the Varoma^® setting is 120°C. The exact temperature depends on the ingredients you use, such as oil. Just remember that on the Varoma^® steam cooking setting, 250 ml of water or water-based liquids will evaporate within 15 minutes.

The Thermomix® is very quiet in most of its different modes.

It may be noisier for a short time when starting to chop hard foods such as coffee beans, hard cheese, grains, ice or frozen fruits. This is a similar level of noise to a grain mill, but it reduces after just a few seconds.

You can change the contrast and brightness of the display on your Thermomix® TM6 under the main menu under 'Settings' and then 'Display'.

Converting recipes is easy and your expert Consultant is here to help, so be sure to reach out to them as your first port of call. A great tip is to find a Thermomix^® recipe that is similar to the one you want to convert (either on Cookidoo^® or Recipe Community). Following the safety instructions in your Thermomix® manual, adjust the quality or quantity of ingredients and the cooking time as needed for your recipe. Adapt the steps as needed and make notes along the way so you can continue perfecting your recipe method, each time you make it. As above, reach out to your Consultant for help or go online to the Recipe Community Forum page or our Facebook page.

You can scale down the ingredients when you're manually cooking recipes but not in guided cooking. The recipe might need to be adjusted for the preparation time (e.g. cutting, cooking) due to the different amounts of ingredients used.

Transportation mode allows you to secure the mixing bowl and lid with the locking arms if you need to transport your appliance.

1. Make sure the mixing bowl, including the lid is correctly inserted into the base unit.

2. Select Main Menu > Transportation mode and activate the mode using the slide control.

3. The locking mechanism is then activated. You can then switch off your Thermomix^® TM6 and transport it safely.

First disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply before cleaning the base unit. Clean the display and main appliance in the same way by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth and gentle cleaning agent. Use water sparingly to prevent moisture entering the appliance. Do not use sharp tools or harsh cleaning liquids/sprays.

You can change your temperature preferences by going to Settings and changing the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Changing the temperature in your settings does not change the temperature or measuring settings of the recipe. If you choose to cook a recipe that uses Celsius temperatures, you won’t be able to change it to Fahrenheit.

TheMix Shop is the official distributor of Thermomix^® parts and accessories in Australia, where you can purchase non-electrical spare parts and accessories. We are unable to supply electrical spare parts, except through servicing of Thermomix® in one of our local Service Centres.

Some ingredients such as turmeric, carrots, tomatoes, etc. may stain plastic. To avoid these kinds of stains, you need to wipe any coloured food off the plastic parts as quickly as possible. The majority of other discolouration will disappear automatically over time but putting the parts in direct sunlight can help with this.

Vorwerk^®, the manufacturer, recommends you sous vide using the Thermomix^®TM6 model as it features a specific mode that has the perfect settings for this cooking technique as well as a lid on the simmering basket which prevents the sous vide pouch from blocking the opening in the centre of the TM6 mixing bowl lid. This allows steam to escape during the sous vide process.

Sous vide cooking with Thermomix^® can be done using either the TM6 basket with lid or the Blade cover accessory. While we do recommend that the TM6 is the best option for sous vide cooking because it has the specific sous vide mode, the TM6 basket with lid is compatible with both the TM6 and TM5.  The Blade Cover & Peeler accessory is compatible with both the TM6 and TM5 and is available to purchase from TheMix Shop.

When you use your Thermomix^® for sous vide cooking:

1. Make sure the liquid doesn’t exceed the maximum mark in your mixing bowl after adding your sous vide food pouch.

2. Make sure all the air has been removed from the sous vide food pouch, so that it's completely submerged in the liquid.

3. For sous vide cooking, never exceed a maximum temperature of 85°C.

4. For sous vide cooking use only the reverse setting on a maximum of Speed 1.

5. The opening in the mixing bowl lid should never be blocked or covered from the inside or the outside (with the exception of the MC). This important safety feature is to allow steam to escape. If you notice that the opening in the mixing bowl lid has become blocked during the sous vide cooking process the manufacturer recommends you turn the appliance off at the power point and safely unplug it (do not touch the control panel). Then leave it to cool down completely.

Thermomix^® TM6 accessories like the knife and bowl are not compatible with the TM5 and vice versa. The bowls for each device can be inserted into the other, but you won’t be able to cook with the wrong bowl and you will receive a system error message.

The splash guard, measuring cup, basket, lid, butterfly whisk and Varoma^® can be used in either the TM5 or the TM6. For more details please refer to the TM6 and TM5 Accessories Compatibility Table.

Yes you can prepare the Thermomix^® TM5 recipes in the new TM6. The mixing bowl and Varoma^® are the same size as the TM5. However, please note that not all TM5 recipes have been tested in the TM6.

For spare parts please go to TheMix Shop (thermomix.com.au/shop). Vorwerk^® guarantees the availability of spare parts for 10 years after end of production.

No. The Thermomix^® TM5 bowl cannot be used with the TM6 and the TM6 bowl cannot be used with the TM5. For more details please refer to the TM6 and TM5 Accessories Compatibility Table.

For Thermomix^® TM5, in order to search for recipes while you're cooking, you can set a bookmark by selecting 'Save current recipe' before you start searching for a new recipe.

If the scales on your Thermomix^® TM5 are displaying incorrect weights, first check the appliance is standing evenly on the work surface, on all three feet. Make sure the power cable does not get trapped under the TM5 or pulled too tight. You also need to keep the feet clean and free from anything that might interfere with them (e.g. grains of salt or sugar, crumbs). If the problem persists, please fill out this form.

The Varoma^® setting is not about reaching a specific temperature but about a special setting where the food is steam-cooked. When using water, the temperature can’t go any higher than 100°C, so the colour bar will display the actual temperature.

The 120°C setting is an actual controlled temperature setting. Temperatures of over 100°C can only be reached when using oily ingredients.

If your Thermomix^® TM5 is not able to read the recipe chip or has lost connection, check that both the TM5 and recipe chip are clean and dry. Try to reattach the recipe chip after a few seconds and it should be recognised again. If you are still having trouble please fill out this form.

The dough mode and turbo mode will both be deactivated if the temperature is above 60°C. If you want to use either of these modes, then you first need to make sure the contents of the bowl is not hotter than 60°C. If the bowl contents is over 60°C wait a short time until the temperature has cooled down. Waiting time will depend on what kind of food is in the bowl.

If you think your Thermomix^® TM5 is heating up quite slowly it may be because you are using soft heating on speeds 2 and 3. If you have chosen these speed settings, the temperature will increase more slowly than at the other speeds as this allows you to heat up sensitive ingredients more gradually (e.g. zabaglione).

Yes, you can prepare Thermomix^® TM31 recipes in the TM5 and TM6. As a TM31 owner, when using a recipe marked as TM5 or TM6, you must:

1. Reduce the quantity of ingredients to ensure you don't overfill your mixing bowl past the maximum capacity 2L marking, found on the inside of your mixing bowl.

2. Reduce the quantity of ingredients in the Varoma^® to ensure it doesn't exceed the 2.2L capacity (ensure the Varoma^® lid closes securely).

3. For recipes using temperatures between 100°C and 120°C, reduce temperature to 100°C and increase cooking times accordingly. Please note that recipes marked ONLY as TM5 or TM6 have not been tested in a TM31 (recipes marked TM6/TM5/TM31 have been tested in all appliances).

Vorwerk, the manufacturer of Thermomix®, guarantees the availability of replacement parts and accessories for 10 years following production. The Thermomix® TM31 was last produced in 2014, which means that from 2024, we can no longer guarantee the availability of parts to support the service of TM31s, however the green sealing ring will continue to be available.
