Temperature Dial; Soft Heating At Speeds 2 And 3 - Vorwerk Thermomix TM5 Manuel D'utilisation

WORKing WiTh The TheRMOMiX™

Temperature dial

The temperature can be set to between 37 °C and 120 °C. The desired temper-
ature will be indicated in the middle of the temperature dial in large numbers.
The temperature of the bowl will be indicated along the top edge of the
temperature dial on a colour scale from blue to red. The current bowl
temperature will also be displayed in smaller writing between the desired
temperature and colour scale 1 . While the heating is active you will also
notice the "°C" pulsing inside the temperature dial.
The preset and current temperatures indicated are approximate values only.
Always ensure that the value for the preset temperature is set to "---" if you
do not wish to heat or cook food! Alternatively, switch off the heating function
by tapping on the temperature dial and turning the selector counter-clockwise
to "---". This will prevent unwanted heating of the ingredients in the mixing
bowl if a time has been preset. The heating function will only be switched on
if a time is preset on the time dial.
The Thermomix™ also uses LEDs on the housing to indicate whether it is
preparing cold dishes (flashing green) or hot dishes (flashing red as soon as
the mixing bowl has reached a temperature of 55 °C – 60 °C) 2 .

Soft heating at speeds 2 and 3

Speeds 2 and 3 are designed for soft heating. When these speeds are selected,
the temperature will be increased slower than at the other speeds. This allows
for the gradual heating of sensitive ingredients (e.g. zabaglione).
Soft start (above 60 °C/140 °F)
if the Turbo mode is activated or the motor is started when the temperature
in the mixing bowl is 60 °C or higher, an electronic system will prevent
food from escaping by delaying the speed increase. This soft start will
only work if the food has been heated in the Thermomix™. Only then can
the temperature sensor correctly gauge the current temperature and trigger
the soft start accordingly.
if you want to use the Thermomix™ to process food that has not been
heated in the Thermomix™ (e.g. preparing a gravy from hot meat juices),
you should only increase the speed slowly and gradually.
