First use

Clean the Thermomix® Cutter before first use.

Operation

Assembling the accessory
Important: Only place the Thermomix® Cutter into an empty mixing bowl. Make sure that there is no food or liquid in the mixing bowl, especially on the mixing knife, before placing the drive shaft onto the mixing knife. It is not necessary to thoroughly clean the mixing bowl before using the Thermomix® Cutter.

To insert the Thermomix® Cutter into the mixing bowl, proceed as follows:
Make sure that the mixing bowl is correctly positioned and fully inserted in the Thermomix® TM6 or TM5.

1. Place the drive shaft (1) onto the mixing knife in the mixing bowl.

2. Place the cutter basket (2) onto the drive shaft.
   

3. Hold the cutting disc (3) by the centre section (4) and place it onto the drive shaft with the side you want to use facing upwards, see Selecting the cutting side and type of cut [} page 11].

4. Put the cutter lid (5) on the cutter basket.
   The Thermomix® Cutter is now ready for use.

Selecting the cutting side and type of cut
CAUTION
Risk of cuts.
The blades on the cutting disc are sharp and can injure you.

• Handle the cutting disc with caution.
• Never take hold of the cutting disc by the blades and only by the centre section.
• Never reach into the fill compartment when the accessory is assembled.

The Thermomix® cutting disc has two different cutting sides with which you can grate or cut ingredients into strips or slices.

The thickness is set using the rotation direction.

• Select reverse rotation (anti-clockwise) if you want a thinner cut.
• For thicker slices or strips, stay in clockwise rotation  

Grating and cutting ingredients
Tip You can find an overview of the best types of cut for different ingredients in the welcome booklet.

NOTICE
Risk of damage from improper use.
This accessory could get damaged if used incorrectly.

• Only use this accessory on speed setting 4.
• Only use this accessory when fully assembled.
• Do not process frozen food.
• Only use the original Thermomix® pusher.
• Only press lightly on the pusher when pressing food down towards the cutting disc. Do not apply force when using the pusher.
• Make sure that the Thermomix® Cutter is inserted correctly, see Assembling the accessory .

TM6 function

• Select the desired function (cutting    or grating ) from the TM6 menu and follow the instructions on the display.

TM5 (manually)

• Select the rotation direction depending on how you want to cut or grate your ingredients.
  • Select reverse rotation (anti-clockwise ) if you want a thinner cut.
  • For thicker slices or strips, stay in clockwise rotation

Speed setting 4 max. 3 minutes

• Turn the selector to start the Thermomix® before you fill the appropriate opening with ingredients. When selecting the speed manually, gradually increase the speed up to setting 4.
  Note: Do not operate the device for more than 3 minutes when solely using the cutting function.
  You can now add the ingredients, see next step.

Filling with ingredients

1. Loosely tip the ingredients into the appropriate opening, a little at a time.  Choose the small opening (1) if you want to cut or grate ingredients such as carrots, strawberries or small mushrooms into evenly sized slices. Put larger ingredients, such as potatoes, into the large opening (2). Using cutting side 2, you will get short strips from opening (1) and longer strips when placing ingredients horizontally in opening (2). If, for example, you put longer pieces of carrot lengthways into opening (2), you will get strips the length of the carrot pieces.
2. If an ingredient is too large for the opening, cut it in half or into several pieces as required (e.g. cut big apples into 3 wedges, peeled pineapple into 4 or more wedges, etc.).
3. Lightly press the ingredients down using the pusher (3).

Holding function
When you press the pusher down fully, it clicks into this position (holding function). Always allow the pusher to click into position at the end of the cutting or grating process. This will ensure that it does not fall out when you remove and invert the cutter lid.

Note about the pusher
You do not need to use force to press down the ingredients. Placing your hand on the pusher and applying minimal pressure is sufficient.
If you find that you are unable to press the pusher down, check whether the opening is too full or food has become stuck.

Clearing a jammed disc
If the cutting disc becomes stuck, lift up the pusher and press it down again onto the food using minimal pressure. If the jam does not clear:

1. Stop the cutting/grating process and carefully remove the blockage using the spatula.
2.  Never reach into the blades with your hands!

Removing ingredients
When you remove the cutter lid from the cutter basket, the cutting disc will remain inside the cutter lid. This means that you can take the sliced ingredients straight out and continue preparing or cooking them. If food has become stuck on the underside of the cutter lid around the edge of the fill compartment, you can easily remove it using the spatula.

Removing the cutting disc
CAUTION
Risk of burns from hot metal surfaces.
The metal pin on the lid can become extremely hot with continuous use under load (continuous use of the cutting function for more than 3 minutes).

• Allow the lid (minus cutting disc) to cool down for 15 minutes, or cool the metal pin on the lid with water before touching it.

If you want to remove or invert the cutting disc, proceed as follows:

1. Take the cutter lid (1) off the cutter basket and turn it over.
   The cutting disc will remain inside the cutter lid.

2. Holding the centre section (3), pull the cutting disc (2) away from the cutter lid.

Cleaning

All components can be washed in a dishwasher.
However, we would recommend cleaning the cutting disc under running water with a washing-up brush. This will help to keep the high-quality blades sharp for longer.

NOTICE
Risk of damage as a result of incorrect cleaning.
Objects can become distorted in the dishwasher as a result of increased heat exposure and pressure from items above.

• Space all the components out on the top rack of the dishwasher.
• Allow all components to dry thoroughly after cleaning.
