2. Care & Cleaning Instructions
The wire whips are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended), making them easy to clean. However, proper care will extend their lifespan.
How to Clean Your Wire Whips
- After each use, rinse the whips under warm water to remove excess batter or cream.
- Place in the dishwasher or wash with warm, soapy water.
- Hand-dry immediately to prevent spotting or residue buildup.
Proper Storage
- Store the whips separately from heavy attachments to prevent bending.
- Keep them in a dry location to avoid moisture damage.
3. Troubleshooting Common Issues
1. The Wire Whips 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 Whipping to the Desired Consistency
✔ Make sure you are using the correct speed setting—higher speeds are needed for whipping.
✔ For cream, chill the bowl and whips before starting to help achieve stiff peaks.
✔ For egg whites, ensure no yolk contamination, as fat can prevent proper whipping.
3. The Wire Whips Are Bending or Breaking
✔ Wire whips are not designed for heavy doughs or thick batters—use the dough hook or cookie paddles instead.
✔ If damaged, replace the whips—they must be used with a Plastic or Metal Whip Driver (sold separately).
4. The Whips Detach During Mixing
✔ Ensure the whips are securely snapped into the whip driver before starting.
✔ If the driver is not fully inserted into the mixer bowl, it may not rotate properly.
4. Compatibility
The Wire Whips Attachment is compatible with:
- Bosch Universal Plus Mixer
- Bosch Universal Classic Mixer
- NutriMill Artiste Mixer
They must be used with a Metal Whip Driver or Plastic Whip Driver, which are sold separately.
5. Best Practices for Long-Lasting Performance
✔ Always use the correct whip driver—plastic for light mixtures, metal for slightly heavier tasks.
✔ Avoid using wire whips for heavy doughs—they are meant for liquid and airy mixtures.
✔ Start at a low speed before gradually increasing to prevent splattering.
✔ Chill the bowl and whips for better whipping results with cream or egg whites.
✔ Inspect the wires before each use—replace them if they appear bent or worn.
