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.

Establishing a Bluetooth® Connection

that Bluetooth® is enabled on your mobile device.
Remove the probe from the charger. Pairing mode is enabled
On Thermomix® TM6®, select the probe from the list under Settings > Connected devices.| Press + in the app to select the probe from the list under Select devices
The probe will now connect automatically as soon as it is removed from the charger and Bluetooth® is enabled on the paired devices

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

1. The battery is located in the tip of the probe (1). Here, it is best protected from hightemperatures.
2. 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.
3. 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:

1. Insert the tip (1) of the probe into the food. Thermomix® Sensor 15
2. 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.
3. 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.

1. Place the holder (1) onto the edge of the baking pan
2. Depending on the preferred angle, select opening 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 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

1. Clean the probe with water and dish soap before first use and after every subsequent use.
2. 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.
