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.

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

cover: Flip up to open.

For Stand Mixers with a removable attachment hub

cover: Turn the attachment knob counterclockwise to

remove attachment hub cover.

ASSEMBLING THE SIFTER+SCALE ATTACHMENT

To install the swivel chute: Lower the swivel chute

into the sifter housing at an angle, aligning the marks

on the swivel chute with the marks above the notches

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.

4 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.

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.

4 Tighten the Stand Mixer attachment hub knob

clockwise until the attachment is completely

secured to the Stand Mixer.

display reads 0.

Before adding ingredients to the hopper, be sure the

ingredient valve is in the closed position and swivel

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.

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 8 10

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.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

smaller amount.

- - - Err1

Tare error. Remove ingredients and turn off power. Then, turn power back on. If Err1 is still
