Varoma
WARNING
Scalding hazard
• The Thermomix™ TM5 can generate a constant flow of steam while
cooking depending on the chosen settings. Keep away from the steam.
Be aware that hot steam will continue to rise up through the hole in the
mixing bowl lid when removing the entire Varoma. Be aware that hot
steam may escape at the sides and from the top of the Varoma lid
during operation.
• Touch only the handles on the sides of the Varoma when the Varoma
is hot.
• Tilt the lid away from your face and body to avoid escaping steam.
• Using the turbo mode or abruptly increasing mixing speed with hot
food may result in scalding injury. When processing hot food, increase
the speed gradually.
• Ensure that some slots of the Varoma dish and tray remain uncovered
of food to avoid an uncontrolled escape of steam.
• Position the Varoma correctly onto the mixing bowl and
Thermomix™ TM5 to prevent the Varoma from becoming detached.
NOTICE
• Use the Varoma only with the Thermomix™ (The Varoma is not suitable
for use with microwaves, ovens or other appliances).
• Ensure that there is sufficient clearance above and around the
Thermomix™ TM5 and Varoma to help prevent damage from any
released hot steam.
• While cooking, always keep the Varoma lid on top of the Varoma 1 .
The Varoma 1 consists of three parts 2 :
• Varoma dish (bottom)
• Varoma tray (middle)
• Varoma lid (top)
All parts are made of high-quality, food compatible plastic.
How to combine the Varoma parts
You can use your Varoma in either of the following two combinations:
Combination 1:
Varoma dish plus Varoma tray and lid 2 .
Use this combination for cooking different foods, e.g. vegetables with meat
or fish, or a larger amount of the same food, e.g. dumplings.
Combination 2:
Varoma dish plus Varoma lid 3 .
Use this combination for cooking large amounts of the same food, e.g. vegetables,
potatoes or large pieces of meat or sausages.

How to use the Varoma
1
Never leave the measuring cup in the mixing bowl lid when using the
Varoma.
If the Varoma lid is not positioned properly, not enough steam will stay in
the Varoma. This will slow down the cooking process.
Your Thermomix™ switches off the heating at speeds higher than 6.

Your Varoma is an accessory designed for the Thermomix™ and can only be
used with the Thermomix™. Before you can start steaming with the Varoma
you will need to set up your Thermomix™ correctly:
Step 1: Set up Thermomix™
Place the mixing bowl into position. Pour at least 0.5 liters/5oo g (2 cups/17.6 oz)
of water into the mixing bowl for up to 3o minutes steaming. If you steam with
the simmering basket, insert the simmering basket and fill it with ingredients,
e.g. potatoes or rice. Close the mixing bowl with the mixing bowl lid.

For a flavorsome variation you can use a vegetable broth or water-wine-mix
instead of water.
Step 2: Filling the Varoma
Place Varoma lid upside down on your work surface 4 and position Varoma
dish on top — it fits precisely into the groove. Now loosely fill the Varoma dish
with food 5 . Make sure that some slots remain unobstructed so that the
steam can spread evenly. As you fill the Varoma, put the food requiring longer
cooking at the bottom, and food requiring shorter cooking at the top.
The Varoma lid underneath the Varoma dish will stop the liquid from washed
vegetables, ripe fruit, raw meat or fish from wetting your work surface.
