Introduce Yourself / Re: New TM owner of an Old TM

Hello Dan
I think you may need to hook up with my sister in San Francisco ! last month she also picked up a TM21 (see my post TM21 found in San Francisco, introduce yourself section). It is an amazing appliance. We also ordered spare parts from Chuck in Florida, he was very helpful and the prices were very reasonable. Like you got the manual of the internet, the UK version as you described. Dont have the instruction manual for TM21 but you probably dont need it anyway. Once you work out that it doesnt heat up /cook unless there is a time set ! You know when it has reached full temperature as there is a colour change in the dial, believe the hottest temperature turns red, and remembering it is in fahrenheit where as our temperature is in celsius. When using the machine, we worked out it was best to start from the top dial and work down, didnt go wrong once we decided to do that. You also need to get your hands on an Everyday cookbook, it comes with the TM31, but can be bought separately, but not from Chuck in Florida !! believe there is a consultant in Canada that you can order stuff from, plus of course any of the consultants here in Australia could get one for you as well. Plus you already have the conversion chart, have been informed the TM21 is a more powerful machine which is why some of the speeds are less in comparison to TM31, also no reverse but got around that by keeping it on the lowest possible setting, plus using the butterfly stops things getting too chopped up. If you want to trade info with my sister in San Fran let me know. I have recently purchased a TM31 so have been lucky enough to play with both thermomix models. Very happy with both of them
) Good luck Dan, I know you will have lots of use out of your TM21, cheerio mysterysusan

But found a service place in Florida and managed to get the missing bits, and manual, so coming in the mail this week. Hope to put it all together before going home at the end of the week.
