Instructions for use
Thank you for choosing this Mastrad cream whipper. You now have all you
need to make a plethora of light, fluffy whipped creams, mousses and hot
and cold sauces. We recommend you read the instruction leaflet carefully
and keep it for future reference.
NB: When the siphon is placed in a double boiler it bleaches. This does not alter
the performance of the siphon in any way, nor the contents of the dish.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
a) Read all instructions.
b) Keep these operating instructions.
c) Siphon for domestic use.
d) The siphons and cartridges are pressurized containers. Improper use may result
in injury; these special safety precautions should be applied:
- Do not expose Mastrad siphons to any heat (oven, sun, microwave).
- The bain-marie must not exceed 158°F/70°C.
- The container is under pressure; protect from temperatures above 158°F/70°C.
- If using at a temperature above 158°F/70°C (despite the contraindication set out
in the instructions) and if the bottle of the siphon does not warp: do not handle with
bare hands (danger of burns). If the siphon begins to warp, do not use even after
it has cooled.
- Do not place your Mastrad siphon in the freezer.
- Should the siphon be frozen (despite the contraindication listed in the
instructions): do not handle with bare hands (danger of frostbite). Wait until the
siphon warms to a temperature of about 40°F/5°C.
e) Never use a siphon that has any cracks or dents.
f) - Keep the siphon and cartridges out of the reach of children.
g) Do not drop this article regardless of whether it is under pressure or not.
h) This siphon operates under pressure; improper use may result in injury.
i) Never force the siphon when trying to open it. If it does not open, review the
instructions in this leaflet.
j) Never try to open the siphon when under pressure; should the siphon be blocked,
refer to the corresponding paragraph in the operating instructions.
k) Do not pierce more cartridges than recommended in the instructions.
l) Never exceed the maximum filling volume of the siphon as indicated in the
operating instructions.
m) Never use any ingredients that do not appear in the instructions.
n) Before using, always check that the siphon is not blocked.
o) Do not dismantle parts beyond what is indicated in the instructions.
p) Should a part need replacing, please refer to the instructions.
q) Never pressurize using a source other than that indicated in the instructions.
Instructions:
1. Rinse the bottle first in hot water and then in cold water before each
use. Verify that the piston is clean; if it is not, clean it according to fig. A.
Verify that there is no blockage in the whipper.
For best results for a cold mousse: chill the whipper’s tank in the fridge
before use.
2. Fill the tank with the mixture (fig.1) (as stated in the recipe).
For best results use icing sugar or liquid sugar. Granulated sugar or salt
must be dissolved in water or milk before use. Use ground spices or
liquid flavourings only. Only use soluble ingredients. Insoluble ingredients,
containing pulp or grains, could block the piston.
Always filter mixtures through a strainer or sieve before pouring into the
tank to avoid blocking the whipper.
3. Do not exceed the maximum filling volume of the whipper bottle indicated
on the bottom of the bottle: 300 ml for 0.3 L; 500 ml for 0.5 L; and 1,000 ml
for 1 L.
Use a scale or measuring cup to weigh all ingredients in order to respect
the whipper’s maximum filling volume.
4. Place the seal in the Mastrad whipper’s head (fig.1), then carefully
screw the head on fully, being sure to screw it on straight (fig.2). The head
must not be screwed on unevenly. If you are having difficulty, check that
all parts are assembled correctly. Never force any parts.
5. The cream whipper head has to be firmly screwed on before the whipper can
be taken into operation with the gas cartridge. Put the Mastrad gas cartridge
(8g of N2O) in the cartridge holder (fig.1). To create infused cold beverages (cold
brew), use only the steel capsules containing N² nitrogen gas. For safety and
quality reasons, we recommend using only Mastrad gas cartridges.
6. With the head pointing down, screw the charger holder with the
cartridge (fig.3) onto the head until all of the gas has flowed into the
bottle. A single cartridge is sufficient.
7 Unscrew the cartridge holder. Shake the siphon vigorously up and down
in an upright position about 10 times to obtain very cold or airy cream. A
slight hissing noise may be heard (Fig. 4).
Once the cartridge has been pierced, the cartridge holder and cartridge
must be removed before using the siphon. Should you notice a leak, empty
the siphon and check that none of the joints have been damaged.
Never touch a recently pierced cartridge: risk of burns.
Note: the cartridges are made of recyclable steel. Dispose of them in a bin
for recovering metal.
For cold preparations, place the siphon in the refrigerator for 2 hours. To
keep the mixture warm, place the siphon in a bain-marie – do not exceed
158°F/70°C.
8. To serve the mixture, hold the whipper vertically, the head facing downwards and
gently press the lever (fig. 4). For cold recipes, serve very cold.
9. Cold mixture can be kept in the whipper for several days when kept in the
fridge. To do so, unscrew and clean the nozzle with washing up liquid, rinse, then
screw back onto the Mastrad whipper. Never place the whipper in the freezer.
Warm mousses cannot be kept. Hot mixtures can not be conserved
10. Cleaning and storage of your Mastrad cream whipper: Before opening the
cream whipper, press the lever until there’s no more pressure. Cleaning and storing
Mastrad’s Whipper: before opening the whipper, press the lever until there is no
pressure left. Begin cleaning (after each use) (fig B.): unscrew the head from the
bottle; remove the silicone washer from inside the head; remove the nut from the
handle and clean it. It is important to wash each part in hot water with a standard
cleaning agent. Push the piston inside the head to remove it; clean the piston,
