Safety is an essential part of every Vorwerk
product. However, product safety can only be as-
sured if the device is used correctly and all safety
instructions are followed.

4.1 Hazards and safety

instructions

WARNING
Explosion hazard
If the rechargeable batteries built into the tip of
the probe are not protected from high heat
levels (> 100°C), the probe could explode.
Therefore:
• Insert the probe into the food away from any
heat sources and only remove it once the
food and probe are no longer exposed to the
heat source.
• Always insert the probe into food beyond the
notch. The only exception to this rule are
foods that significantly increase in size, such
as cake doughs. In such cases, the notch may
be uncovered to start with, but will then be-
come covered during the course of the bake.
• Make sure that the probe is securely in place
and does not accidentally move out of posi-
tion.

Thermomix® Sensor 7
 Explosion hazard
When the batteries built into the probe over-
heat, the probe could explode.
• Use the probe at a maximum ambient tem-
perature of 250°C.
• Never put the probe onto a fire or hot coals.
• Never expose the probe to direct flames.
• Do not use the probe while flash frying or at a
very high heat (e.g. sizzle zone or sear zone).
• Never use the probe in a microwave or pres-
sure cooker.
• If, however, the probe does become exposed
to high temperatures, protect your eyes be-
fore you remove the probe and carefully al-
low it to cool down.
• If the probe falls onto a fire or a direct heat
source, switch off the cooking appliance or
grill and immediately put the lid on. Allow
the probe to cool completely before taking it
out.

Explosion hazard
The charger, and in particular the battery sup-
plied with it, are not heat-resistant.
• Do not expose the battery and charger to
heat sources, especially open fires, or place
them on hot surfaces.
• Use the magnetic holder only on cool, heat-
insulated oven doors.

Explosion hazard
If a battery falls onto the floor, is thrown or sub-
jected to other heavy knocks, the battery's in-
sulating shell or structure can get damaged,
which can result in leakage, an internal short
circuit or other anomalies. An internal short cir-
cuit can cause overheating, leakage, an explo-
sion or a fire.
• Handle the battery with care.

Risk of burns
When used at high ambient temperatures, the
probe and food will heat up.
• Never touch the probe with bare hands when
hot.
• Protect yourself against burns by using heat-
resistant gloves, oven cloths or the holder if

(especially meat, fish or seafood) can cause
food poisoning.
• Check the safe core temperature of your dish
before cooking it. Please also refer to the sec-
tion on Safe core temperatures [} page 12].
• Make sure that the tip of the probe is
(roughly) inserted into the middle of the food
when measuring the core temperature.
• Handle food and the areas that come into
contact with food carefully and clean them
thoroughly (including hands and probe) to
prevent the spreading of germs.

Risk to health
The holder is only food-safe up to 220°C.

lyte residues from leaking batteries or re-
chargeable batteries without skin or eye pro-
tection.
• Leaking electrolytes must not come into con-
tact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes.
• In case of accidental contact, immediately
wash your hands and flush the eyes or mu-
cous membranes with plenty of clean water.
• If irritation persists or the electrolyte has
come into contact with the eyes or mucous
membranes, seek medical advice.
• Clothing and textiles that have come into
contact with leaked electrolyte or electrolyte
residues must be thoroughly washed imme-
diately or disposed of.
• Leaked electrolyte, electrolyte residues as
well as leaking batteries and rechargeable
batteries are flammable. Keep them away
from fire and heat.

substances
Leaked electrolyte in food can cause injuries.
• If the batteries have exploded, do not con-
sume the food that has been cooked.

Choking hazard
Small parts may enter the airways and cause
choking.
• The AAA battery used in the charger is a small
part. Keep small parts out of the reach of
children.

Risk due to magnetism

Magnets are fitted to the outer surface of the
charger. Magnets can affect pacemakers and in-
ternal defibrillators.
• Keep the magnet away from pacemakers, in-
ternal defibrillators and other active im-
plants.

In some cases, lower core temperatures are selec-
ted to achieve a better taste. However, when se-
lecting a lower core temperature, the quality of the
food, the safe handling of the food and the main-
tenance of the cold chain must be taken into con-
sideration. Safe core temperatures are particularly

12
important for people with weakened immune sys-
tems, such as pregnant women, children and the
elderly.

7 Operation

7.1 Switching on and off

When you take the probe out of the charger, it will
automatically start up.
To switch the probe off, put it back into the char-
ger and close the cover.

7.2 Design of the probe

2
1

1. The battery is located in the tip of the probe

(1). Here, it is best protected from high temper-
atures.
2. The temperature sensor (2) is located 2cm
away from the tip. Position this part of the
probe as close to the centre of the food as pos-
sible when measuring the core temperature.

14
3. The notch (3) indicates how far the probe must
be inserted into the food.

7.3 Inserting the probe into food

To insert the probe into the food, proceed as fol-
lows:

2 1
1. Insert the tip (1) of the probe into the food.
2. The temperature sensor (2), which measures
the core temperature, is located 2cm behind
the tip. Position this part of the probe as close
to the centre of the food as possible.
3. The notch (3) will disappear into the food as
you do so. This will ensure that the temperat-
ure sensor can correctly measure the internal
temperature of the food.
Using the holder
If the probe does not have a sufficiently firm hold
in the food (for example, a cake dough with a thin-
ner consistency), you can attach the probe to the
baking tin using the holder to ensure that the
probe does not slide out. You can choose between
two different insertion angles, A and B, depending
on the size of the baking tin. Only use the holder
up to a maximum temperature of 220°C.

B

notch (2). The notch will
be visible.
1. Place the holder (1) onto the edge of the bak-
ing tin.
2. Depending on the preferred angle, select open-
ing A or B and slide the probe through the
holder and into the food.
3. Make sure that the tip of the probe (3) does not
touch the baking tin.

7.4 Positioning the probe and

charger
During the cooking process, the probe continually
measures the core temperature and ambient tem-
perature. The probe sends this data to the charger.
This transfers the data to the Thermomix® TM6 or
Cooking Center app. It acts as a repeater and amp-
lifies the signal.

max. 1 m

16
• You should therefore make sure that the char-
ger is always near the probe; for example, on
or near the oven. The Thermomix® TM6 or
Cooking Center app can be further away from
the probe and its charger.

7.5 Cooking with the probe

During the cooking process, the probe is perman-
ently connected to the Cooking Center on your
Thermomix® TM6 and/or with the Cooking Center
app. This means that you receive information on
the temperature and remaining cooking time.
• Follow the instructions on the display.

8 Cleaning
1. Clean the probe with water and washing-up li-
quid before and after every use.
2. Make sure that the probe is completely dry be-
fore putting it back in the charger. Thorough
cleaning will ensure that the probe can be
charged.
