Intended use
The Thermomix® Sensor is an accessory for the Thermomix® TM6®. It measures the
core temperature of food and is suitable for use in the home or similar
environments.
The probe is only intended to be used with food. The ambient temperature
sensor, which measures the ambient temperature, i.e. the temperature in the
oven or grill, is located in the black ceramic section of the probe. The
ambient temperature must never exceed 525°F (275°C).
The core temperature sensor is located approx. ¾ in. (2 cm) away from the tip
and measures the core temperature of the food. The core temperature is the
temperature inside the food. This part of the probe must not be heated above
212°F (100°C). Store the probe in its charger in a cool, dry place when not in
use.
This accessory is exclusively intended for use by adults. It must not be used
by children even when supervised by an adult.
Keep children away from appliances that are in use.
Close supervision is necessary when this accessory is used near children.
Children must not use or play with this accessory
The accessory may be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, only if they are
supervised or instructed with regard to the safe use of the appliance and
understand the resulting hazards.
The device complies with the safety regulations of the country in which it has
been sold by an authorized Vorwerk organization. If the device is used in a
different country other than the one in which it was purchased, compliance
with the local safety standards of that country cannot be guaranteed. Vorwerk
therefore assumes no liability for any resulting safety risks for the user.

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 (> 212°F or 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 become covered during the course of thebake.
- Make sure that the probe is securely in place and does not accidentally move out of position.
- Explosion hazard When the batteries built into the probe overheat, the probe could explode.
- Use the probe at a maximum ambient temperature of 525°F (275°C).

Operation
Switching on and off
When you take the probe out of the charger, it will automatically start up.
To switch the probe off, thread it back into the charger cover and close.
Design of the probe
- The battery is located in the tip of the probe (1). Here, it is best protected from hightemperatures.
- The temperature sensor (2) is located (¾ in. / 2 cm) away from the tip. Position this part of the probe as close to the center of the food as possible when measuring the core temperature.
- The notch (3) indicates how far the probe must be inserted into the food.
Inserting the probe into food being cooked
To insert the probe into the food, proceed as follows:
- Insert the tip (1) of the probe into the food. Thermomix® Sensor 15
- The temperature sensor (2), which measures the core temperature, is located (¾ in. / 2 cm) behind the tip. Position this part of the probe as close to the center of the food as possible.
- The notch (3) will disappear into the food as you do so. This will ensure that the temperature 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 thinner consistency), you can attach the probe to the
baking pan 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 pan. Only use the holder up to a maximum temperature of
425°F (220°C).
For doughs that rise, the insertion depth of the probe may vary.
Dough fill level before
baking: The probe is inserted at least halfway between the tip (3) and
notch (2). The notch will be visible.
During baking, the dough rises: The notch (2) is covered.
- Place the holder (1) onto the edge of the baking pan
- Depending on the preferred angle, select opening A or B and slide the probe through the holder and into the food.
- Make sure that the tip of the probe (3) does not touch the baking pan.
Positioning the probe and charger
During the cooking process, the probe continually measures the core
temperature and ambient temperature. 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 amplifies the signal.
You should therefore make sure that the charger 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
Cooking with the probe
During the cooking process, the probe is permanently 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
Cleaning
- Clean the probe with water and dish soap before first use and after every subsequent use.
- Make sure that the probe is clean and completely dry before putting it back in the charger. Thorough cleaning will ensure that the probe can be charged.
