Thermomix in the kitchen- Where should you place it?

The Thermomix is a revolutionary appliance that completely changes the way we cook every day. It combines the functions of multiple kitchen devices into one, saving time, space, and energy. To make the most of the Thermomix’s capabilities, it’s important to place it in the right spot in your kitchen. In this article, we explain how much space you need, where to position it, and what to consider for a comfortable, safe, and visually pleasing workspace.

How Much Space Does the Thermomix Need?

Although the Thermomix is compact, its multifunctionality requires adequate working space. The minimum recommended dimensions are:

• Width: 30–40 cm

• Depth: 30–40 cm

• Height: at least 45–50 cm, so the lid can open easily and you can use the Varoma

It’s also a good idea to leave some extra space around the device for ventilation and convenient use of accessories.

Where Should You Place the Thermomix? 

Choosing the right location for your Thermomix is not only about convenience but also about safety and aesthetics. Pay attention to the following aspects:

• Access to a power outlet

The Thermomix needs to be plugged in at all times. Choose a location with easy access to a power outlet. Avoid using extension cords – direct connection is safer.

• Stable Wi-Fi connection

Thermomix TM7 require a stable internet connection to access the Cookidoo platform. Make sure your chosen location has a strong Wi-Fi signal. If your router is too far away, consider using a Wi-Fi extender.

• Sturdy, level, and stable surface

The Thermomix works intensively – chopping, mixing, cooking, kneading – so a firm and heat-resistant surface is essential. Make sure your countertop is dry, flat, and stable so the anti-slip feet can grip properly. This also assures that the scale works properly.

• Sufficient distance from walls and other appliances

Leave at least 10 cm of space behind the device to ensure proper ventilation. Avoid placing it too close to walls, refrigerators, or dishwashers to prevent issues with steam or heat buildup.

• Work space and easy access

Place the Thermomix in a spot where you can work around it easily. You should be able to add ingredients, operate the touchscreen, and remove the mixing bowl without obstruction. A location near the sink is also practical for filling with water and cleaning.

Can the Thermomix Be Placed Next to an Induction Hob?

A frequently asked – and valid – question! Here’s what you need to know: Yes, but with some precautions. You can place the Thermomix near an induction hob, provided you keep a safe distance:

• At least 30 cm away from the cooking surface

• Do not place it directly next to or above an active burner, especially during intensive cooking

While an induction hob doesn’t produce open flames, it does generate heat and steam that can affect the electronics and casing of the Thermomix. Excess heat may reduce the device’s lifespan, and accidental spills could damage the touchscreen or other components. For optimal safety and ease of use, it’s recommended to position the Thermomix diagonally from the hob or in a separate kitchen workstation.

The Ideal Spot for Your Thermomix in the Kitchen

Choosing the right place for your Thermomix means more convenience, safety, and optimal use of its features. Key considerations include:

• Close proximity to a power outlet and Wi-Fi signal

• Sturdy and level surface

• Proper ventilation and space around the device

• Safe distance from heat sources (e.g., induction hob)

• Easy access and working space

• Aesthetic integration with your kitchen

By taking these factors into account, your Thermomix will become not just a functional tool, but the stylish center piece of your kitchen.
