3. Troubleshooting Common Issues
1. The Batter Whisks Are Not Spinning Properly
✔ Ensure the whip driver is properly inserted into the center post.
✔ Check for any food buildup around the driver mechanism and clean if necessary.
2. Ingredients Are Not Mixing Evenly
✔ Use the correct speed setting—higher speeds may be needed for thicker batters.
✔ Ensure butter and wet ingredients are at room temperature for better incorporation.
3. The Batter Whisks Are Bending or Breaking
✔ Batter Whisks are not designed for thick doughs—use the Dough Hook for heavier mixtures.
✔ If damaged, replace the whisks—they must be used with a Plastic or Metal Whip Driver (sold separately).
4. The Whisks Detach During Mixing
✔ Ensure the whisks are securely snapped into the whip driver before starting.
✔ If the driver is not fully inserted into the mixer bowl, it may not lock in place.
4. Compatibility
The Batter Whisks Attachment is compatible with:
- Bosch Universal Plus Mixer
- Bosch Universal Classic Mixer
- NutriMill Artiste Mixer
They must be used with a Metal or Plastic Whip Driver, which is sold separately.
5. Best Practices for Long-Lasting Performance
✔ Always use the correct whip driver—plastic for general use, metal for slightly thicker batters.
✔ Avoid using Batter Whisks for thick doughs—they are meant for light and pourable batters.
✔ Start at a low speed before gradually increasing to prevent splattering.
✔ Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated before increasing speed.
✔ Inspect the whisks before each use—replace them if they appear bent or worn.
