Centre, with the work
bowl in place, hold the
adapter with the fixed
ring at the bottom. Be
sure the ring is loose
and not over the sheath.
Line up the shape of the
inner sheath with the
shape of the motor
shaft. Gently push down
the adapter as far as it
will go. The narrow top
of the adapter will rest
firmly on the centre tube
of the work bowl. The
bottom of the adapter
should sit about an inch
above the bottom of the
shaft. Snap the remov-
able ring over the top of
the adapter to lock the
adapter into place.
3. To connect the power
unit to the adapter, hold
the unit with the whisks
down. Place the power
unit over the adapter
so the hexagonal rod
in the centre fits the
matching opening in the
inner sheath of the
adapter. PUSH THE
POWER UNIT DOWN
AS FAR AS IT WILL
GO. The bottom of the
whisks should be about
a dime’s width from the
bottom of the work
bowl. Twist the power
unit COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE to lock it into the
adapter.
4. Replace the cover of the
work bowl. The power
unit of the whisk attach-
ment should not touch the
cover. If it does, remove
the cover be sure the
adapter is pushed down
over the motor shaft as
far as it will go, and the
whisks are pushed into
the power unit as far as
they will go.
You are now ready to begin
using the whisk attachment.
Press the ON lever to acti-
vate rotation.

Centre motor shaft by

steel ring off the
adapter.
6. Grasp the adapter and

ing COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE as you do so.

CLEANING THE PARTS:
Once the whisk attachment
has been removed from the
work bowl it can be quickly
and easily cleaned. All
parts are dishwasher safe
EXCEPT the white power
unit. Keep parts free of any
trace of oil or grease before
storing. Any traces of oil or
grease will prevent the
whisks from working at full
potential when next used,
i.e. egg whites will not rise
to maximum volume.
If there is any grease on
the adapter or on the cen-
tre tube of the work bowl,
the whisks may not rotate
or the power unit may
reverse direction. Should
this happen, disassemble
the parts and thoroughly
clean both the adapter and
the work bowl.
The power unit must not be
submerged in water or any
liquid. Wipe it clean with a
sponge or damp cloth. Dry
immediately.
TECHNIQUES FOR
WHIPPING,
BEATING WITH
THE WHISK
ATTACHMENT
Safe food handling
procedures:
The whisk attachment
is not recommended for
whipping raw egg whites
to be folded into a dish
that will not be cooked.
Beating Egg Whites:
1. You can beat up to
8 large egg whites.
2. The eggs should be
at room temperature for
best results. Egg whites
do not rise as high
when they are cold.
Eggs can be warmed
from the refrigerator by
running them under hot
tap water.
3. Separate the eggs
carefully. Even the
slightest trace of yolk
will prevent the whites
from rising to the
maximum volume. It’s
a good idea to separate
each egg over a small
bowl, then add the egg
white to the work bowl.
