How to Beat Egg Whites

•Be sure there is no egg yolk in the egg whites.

•For maximum volume, egg whites should be at room temperature.

•Beat at the highest speed (Whip #6) until egg whites are the desired consistency. Beating time varies with the freshness of eggs.

NOTE: For best results when beating egg whites, do not use an aluminum or plastic bowl. Use a stainless steel, copper, or glass bowl.

How to Whip Cream

•Chill the cream, Beaters, and bowl.

•Start with speed 3 or 4 to minimize splatter; as the cream begins to thicken, gradually increase to Whip #6.

•Whipping time varies with fat content, age, and temperature of cream.

Cleaning

1.Be sure the Speed Control Switch is in the OFF (O) position before cleaning any part of the Mixer. Unplug the cord and eject the Beaters.

2.The Beaters may be washed in hot, sudsy water or in a dishwasher. Be sure to dry all parts thoroughly before storing.

3.Clean the Mixer or cord with a damp cloth. To remove stubborn spots, wipe surfaces with a cloth dampened in sudsy water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Follow with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the Mixer as they can damage the finish.

CAUTION: Never immerse the Mixer or cord in water or other liquids.

Storing The Mixer

1.For longer life, avoid jerking the Power Cord or straining it at the plug connec- tion. To store, coil the Cord in loops and secure it with a twist tie. Do not wrap the cord around the Mixer.

2.Store the Beaters in a drawer or in the original packaging.
