Accessories
Mixing bowl lid
The mixing bowl lid is used to close the mixing bowl.
For safety reasons your Thermomix TM 31 will not
start working unless the lid has been positioned and
locked correctly. Never try to force the lid open when
the appliance is locked.
Take care to insert the sealing ring for the lid correctly.
Put the lid upside down on your work surface and
position the ring onto the lid by pushing it into the
three hinges whereupon you can hear a “click”
.
The sealing ring prevents liquid or food to be cooked
from escaping between the mixing bowl and the lid.
When cleaning the mixing bowl lid clean the sealing
ring separately.
Measuring cup
The measuring cup is a multi-purpose item: it is a
closing cap for the opening in the lid to avoid heat
loss and it prevents food to be mixed or cooked
from escaping.
The measuring cup can be used to measure
ingredients. A measuring cup filled to the brim
holds 100 ml, and a half-filled measuring cup
(middle notch) 50 ml.
Place the measuring cup into the opening in the lid
with its opening showing upwards
.
Only when using the butterfly: position the measur -
ing cup with the opening pointing downwards.
If you wish to add some liquid there is no need to
remove the measuring cup. Simply pour the liquid
onto the lid. It will gradually trickle into the mixing
bowl.
To add ingredients through the opening in the lid lift
the measuring cup and add them into the mixing
bowl.

CAUTION
Danger of scalding by splashing hot food
• Mind single spots of hot food escaping from
