WHISK ATTACHMENT To clean your whisk attachment, simply release the attachment from the motor body housing. Once the whisk is removed, detach the metal whisk from the gearbox by pulling the pieces apart. To clean the gearbox, simply wipe with a damp cloth. To clean the metal whisk, wash with warm soapy water or put in the dishwasher. Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquid.
FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT • Do not immerse whisk attachment gearbox in water or any other liquid. • Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites. • When beating egg whites use a very clean metal or glass bowl, never plastic. Plastic can contain hidden oils and fats that can ruin the delicate egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites, add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white prior to beating them. (If using a copper bowl omit the cream of tartar.
