Ultimate Food Prep 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.

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 MetalUltimate Food Prep Centre 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 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.
