VOLUME-TO-WEIGHT CONVERSION GUIDE
Ingredients such as our 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 nd the
optimal weight measurement for each dry ingredient to get the best results, every time.

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 ow 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 rst 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.
2
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
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
3
Insert the attachment shaft housing into the
attachment hub, making certain the power shaft ts
into the square hub socket. If necessary, rotate the
attachment back and forth. The pin on the attachment
housing will t 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.

Turn on the Stand Mixer to the desired speed, then
open the ingredient valve. The ingredients will be
sifted and ow 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 ow
into the sifter.
• When releasing ingredients, it may be
necessary to ip 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.
