The charger battery can last up to a year if used an average of twice a week. You’ll know when the battery needs replacing as you will get a warning on Thermomix® TM6 or your mobile. To change the battery, remove the back cover, use the black plastic strip to easily remove the used battery, and replace with a new AAA battery.
Once fully charged, the probe’s battery will last 24 hours.
While cooking, a lot of residues can build up on the probe. These residues act like a barrier between the probe and the charger. It could be bits of food or soot from smoke, but in most cases, it’s just a little bit of grease that you might not even be able to see. When this happens, the probe can’t charge, so the battery might be completely drained the next time you want to use it. This is one of the most commonly occurring issues, which is why it is essential to clean the probe after each use. The most effective way to get rid of any residue is scrubbing the probe well with a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar using a scouring pad, then giving it a quick wash ensuring it’s FAQs completely dry before placing it back in the charger. Don’t worry, the probe will be fine under running water, and it can take a good scrub! You might also want to wipe the metal contact points on the charger with a dry cloth to remove any potential leftover residue. After this, just let the probe charge for 2 hours. Once you’ve got your probe connected again, make sure to get it sparkling clean after every use. Most times, hot, soapy water and the rough side of a sponge will be enough, though you might want to bust out the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar again if you start seeing a lot of discolouration.
Certain oven doors are more insulated than others, which can cause the Bluetooth® connection to drop. It could also be that the probe's ceramic end is covered with food or is touching the tin. Using a metallic pot with a lid or covering the dish with foil rather than baking paper can also cause the Bluetooth® connection to drop. Always place the charger as close as possible to the oven door, ideally using the charger's magnetic contacts. It may occur that the Bluetooth® connection drops. Should this happen, switch Bluetooth® off and on again. Having an additional device (such as a mobile) can help to check if your probe is connected or not. If you find that you can reconnect to the probe easily when you open the oven door, it is most likely that your oven is too insulated to allow a stable Bluetooth® connection.
Thermomix® Sensor can only be connected to 2 devices at a time, whether 2 Thermomix® TM6, 1 Thermomix® TM6 and a mobile or 2 mobiles.
Unfortunately, you cannot use Thermomix® Sensor in a microwave as this would cause irreparable damage to the circuitry inside the probe itself. Besides, this is a fire hazard.
If you’re using more than one thermometer to check your meat temperature, there are a couple of important things to keep in mind:
- While the meat is still cooking, there can be variations in temperature in different parts of the meat. This can happen because of differences in thickness, fat content, or proximity to bones.
- Even if you’re trying to measure in exactly the same spot, most other thermometers have their sensors right in the tip, whereas ours is about 2 cm from the pointed tip. The core function of Thermomix® Sensor is to give you perfect and consistent results every time. This is why all of our probes’ internal sensors are calibrated to +/− 0.5°C (1°F) in the factory using certified tools, and then thoroughly tested.
