firmly on the center 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 center fits the
matching opening in
the inner sheath of the
adapter. PUSH THE
POWER UNIT DOWN
AS FAR AS IT WILL
GO. The bottoms 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. Lock cover and pusher
into place. 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.
REMOVING THE WHISK
ATTACHMENT:
1. Remove the cover from
the work bowl.
2. Grasp the power unit
of the whisk attachment
and twist it CLOCK-
WISE to unlock it from
the adapter. Pull straight
up to remove. You may
stand the power unit on
the counter, resting it on
the base feet.
3. Press the whisk ejector
tab and ease whisks out
gently with a spatula.
4. Remove processed food
from the work bowl and
whisks with a spatula.
5. Unlock the adapter from
Limited Edition Metal
Food Processor motor
shaft by popping one
side of the steel ring
off the adapter.
6. Grasp the adapter and
pull it straight up, twist-
ing COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE as you do so.
Be careful not to
squeeze the steel rod
against the adapter.
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
on the top rack 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
center 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
that will 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.
This will prevent egg
yolks from getting into
the saved egg white.
4. For good results, all
tools must be absolutely
clean, dry and free from
any trace of grease or oil.
