Important
• To avoid splashing of ingredients
gradually increase the speed.
• The whisk is not suitable for
making all in one cake mixes as
these mixes are too heavy and
will damage it.
• Best results achieved when eggs are
at room temperature.
• Before whisking egg whites, make
sure there is no grease or egg yolk
on the whisk or the bowl.
