Always developing modes solutions
We are always working on developing new solutions to make the Thermomix® TM6 even more functional for you. That is why your Thermomix® TM6 can receive our new modes automatically, adding even more functionalities to your favorite kitchen appliance. To get the new modes you only need to connect your Thermomix® TM6 to Cookidoo®, and the modes will then be installed on your Thermomix TM6. You do not need an active subscription in order to receive the modes.
To achieve the best cooking results with the modes, we also recommend that you keep your Thermomix® up to date with the latest firmware version.
More information on the latest Thermomix® TM6 firmware updates can be found here.
