2. Care & Cleaning Instructions

The Flour Sifter is hand wash only, and proper care will ensure long-lasting performance.

How to Clean Your Flour Sifter

• After each use, empty any remaining flour from the sifter.
• Gently tap the fine mesh screen to remove excess flour dust.
• Hand wash all parts with warm, soapy water—do not submerge the mesh screen for extended periods.
• Allow all parts to dry completely before storing.

Proper Storage

• Store the fine mesh screen separately to avoid damage.
• Keep all parts in a dry location to prevent flour buildup.

3. Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. Flour Is Not Sifting Properly

✔ Ensure the sifter bowl is not overfilled—too much flour can slow down the process.
✔ Check for clumps in the flour and break them apart before sifting.
✔ Make sure the fine mesh screen is clean and free of residue.

2. Flour Is Escaping from the Sifter

✔ Ensure the lid is securely placed to prevent flour from spilling.
✔ Avoid running the mixer at too high of a speed, which may cause flour to scatter.

3. Sifting Takes Too Long

✔ Use speed settings 3-4 for quicker results.
✔ Ensure the flour is dry and not overly packed in the bowl.

4. Compatibility

The Flour Sifter Attachment is compatible with:

• Bosch Universal Plus Mixer
• Bosch Universal Classic Mixer
• NutriMill Artiste Mixer

5. Best Practices for Long-Lasting Performance

✔ Use freshly ground flour for the best results—older flour may clump.
✔ Clean the mesh screen immediately after use to prevent buildup.
✔ Avoid overloading—sifting smaller batches ensures even results.
✔ Store in a dry environment to maintain the mesh screen’s effectiveness.
