VOLUME-TO-WEIGHT CONVERSION GUIDE

Ingredients such as flour can vary widely in density. In order to achieve the most consistent results, we recommend measuring these ingredients by weight, not volume.

For recipes that only provide volume measurements, the chart below provides a good starting point for converting to grams. As you repeat a recipe, you can adjust as needed to find the optimal weight measurement for each dry ingredient to get the best results, every time.

	APPROXIMATE CONVERSION*

	1 TEASPOON	1 TABLESPOON	1 CUP
INGREDIENT	(TSP)	(TBSP)	1 CUP
INGREDIENT	(TSP)	(TBSP)
All-Purpose Flour	2.6 g	7.8 g	125 g

Bread Flour	2.9 g	8.6 g	137 g

Cake Flour	2.9 g	8.6 g	137 g

Whole-Grain Flour	2.5 g	7.5 g	120 g

Baking Powder	4.6 g	13.8 g	221 g

Brown Sugar (Packed)**	4.6 g	13.8 g	220 g

Granulated Sugar	4.2 g	12.5 g	200 g

Powdered Sugar	2.5 g	7.5 g	120 g

*Approximate imperial values based on USDA (US Department of Agriculture) figures. Your ingredients may differ. Other countries may use non-imperial measurement standards with different conversions. The included digital scale will measure to the nearest whole gram.

**NOTE: Do not feed brown sugar through the sifter, as it may clog the sifter screen.

USING THE SIFTER+SCALE ATTACHMENT

SIFTER+SCALE CONFIGURATIONS

The Sifter+Scale attachment is compatible with all household KitchenAid Stand Mixers, including all accessory stainless steel, glass, and ceramic bowls. It is not compatible with the Precise Heat Mixing Bowl, Ice Cream Maker, or the Pouring Shield.

The Sifter+Scale attachment can be used in multiple ways: to weigh and sift ingredients while slowly feeding them into the mixer bowl or into a separate container, to weigh and feed ingredients without sifting, and to weigh ingredients on your countertop.

To weigh, sift, and slowly feed ingredients into mixer bowl or separate container: Use the complete attachment for recipes calling for ingredients to be sifted and fed slowly into the mixer bowl or a separate container.

To weigh and feed ingredients into bowl without sifting: Use the attachment without the sifter when weighing and feeding larger ingredients, such as whole oats, that do not need to be sifted. To add those ingredients slowly, you can limit the flow by using the ingredient valve.

To use as a countertop scale: Set the scale on your countertop or table and place the lid/scale plate on top.

ATTACHING THE SIFTER HOUSING TO THE STAND MIXER

Before using your Sifter+Scale for the first time, wipe the ingredient hopper, sifter assembly, and swivel chute with a warm damp cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not wash the sifter housing or digital scale. Dry with a soft cloth. See the “Care and cleaning” section for complete instructions.

1	Turn the Stand Mixer off and unplug.
	For Stand Mixers with a hinged attachment hub
2	cover: Flip up to open.
2	For Stand Mixers with a removable attachment hub
	cover: Turn the attachment knob counterclockwise to
	remove attachment hub cover.

USING THE SIFTER+SCALE ATTACHMENT | 5

USING THE SIFTER+SCALE ATTACHMENT

Insert the attachment shaft housing into the attachment hub, making certain the power shaft fits into the square hub socket. If necessary, rotate the attachment back and forth. The pin on the attachment housing will fit into the notch of the hub rim when in the proper position.

Tighten the Stand Mixer attachment hub knob clockwise until the attachment is completely secured to the Stand Mixer.

ASSEMBLING THE SIFTER+SCALE ATTACHMENT

	To install the swivel chute: Lower the swivel chute
	into the sifter housing at an angle, aligning the marks
1	on the swivel chute with the marks above the notches
1	on the inside of the sifter housing. Properly installed,
	swivel chute will be seated securely in the sifter
	housing and will rotate easily.

TIP: Aligning the handle tab on the chute with one of the notches as you lower the swivel chute into the sifter housing will help you to line up the marks.

To install the sifter assembly: Lower the sifter into the sifter housing at an angle so that the drive shaft can be inserted into the sifter housing. Once the shaft is inserted all the way, press down on the sifter, opposite of the shaft, to click it into place.

To install the scale: Place the scale on top of the sifter housing with the digital scale display facing away from the Stand Mixer, and slightly left of center. Twist the scale counterclockwise until it locks into place.

To install the ingredient hopper: Align the ingredient valve with the corresponding notch on the scale, and lower the hopper onto the scale until fully seated.

	Before adding ingredients to the hopper, be sure the
2	ingredient valve is in the closed position and swivel
2	chute is pointed into the mixer bowl or an appropriate
	container.

NOTE: If desired, the scale and hopper can sit on the countertop, and ingredients can be added until the target weight is achieved. The full scale and hopper can then be installed onto the attachment.

		lb/oz/g	between pounds, ounces, and grams. The default
			setting is grams.

3	Add your ingredients to the ingredient hopper until
	you reach the target weight.

TIP: Make sure your dry ingredients have no large or hard clumps before feeding them through the sifter. As with any sifter, large or hard clumps may not be broken up during the sifting process.

0 Stir 2	4 6

Turn on the Stand Mixer to the desired speed, then open the ingredient valve. The ingredients will be sifted and flow into the bowl according to the selected speed.

NOTE: The sifter can operate at any speed, so select the speed that works best for your recipe.

TIP: If your recipe calls for multiple dry ingredients, press between adding ingredients for weighing, and stir them in the hopper before opening the ingredient valve.

NOTE: Once you’ve weighed your ingredients, you may turn off the scale at any time by pressing . The scale will also shut off automatically after 5 minutes of non-use.

	and then the chute to release all residual ingredients.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

HELPFUL HINTS

•If the ingredients are sifting faster than desired, you can use the ingredient valve to limit the rate at which ingredients flow into the sifter.

•When releasing ingredients, it may be necessary to flip the valve back and forth 1-2 times or tap the hopper to ensure all ingredients are released.

•The maximum capacity of the scale is 1,000g / 2.2lbs / 2lbs 3oz, and the scale measures in increments of 1g / 0.002lb / 0.05oz.

•Do not feed brown sugar through the sifter, as it may clog the sifter screen.

•If ingredients become jammed in the sifter, turn the mixer off and use a spoon to clear the jam.

•Use dry ingredients only with the Sifter+Scale attachment.

•Make sure your dry ingredients have no hard or large clumps before feeding

them through the sifter. As with any sifter, clumps will not be broken up during the sifting process.

•The ingredient hopper does not lock into place. If using a tilt-head Stand Mixer with the sifter attached, be sure to remove the ingredient hopper before lifting the mixer head to avoid the ingredient hopper tipping or falling off of the sifter.

•You may wish to place the lid/scale plate on top of the hopper to reduce dust when sifting.
