Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your Norpro Plastic Funnel Set. This set includes three different sized funnels designed for transferring liquids and dry ingredients efficiently and without spills.
The set includes:
- Large Funnel: Mouth 4" (10cm), Stem 0.5" (1.25cm)
- Medium Funnel: Mouth 3.5" (9cm), Stem 0.4" (1cm)
- Small Funnel: Mouth 2.5" (6cm), Stem 0.3" (0.75cm)
Setup
Before first use, wash all funnels thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and allow to air dry or dry with a clean cloth. Ensure no residue remains from manufacturing or packaging.

Operating Instructions
- Select the Appropriate Size: Choose the funnel size that best fits the opening of the container you are filling and is suitable for the volume of liquid or dry ingredient you are transferring.
- Position the Funnel: Place the stem of the chosen funnel securely into the opening of the receiving container. Ensure it is stable and will not tip over during transfer.
- Pour Slowly: Begin pouring the liquid or dry ingredient into the wide mouth of the funnel slowly and steadily. This prevents overflow and allows air to escape from the receiving container.
- Monitor Fill Level: Continuously monitor the fill level of the receiving container to avoid overfilling.
- Remove Funnel: Once the transfer is complete, carefully remove the funnel.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Norpro Plastic Funnel Set, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: The funnels are top-rack dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm water and mild dish soap. Use a brush if necessary to clean the stem and any residue.
- Drying: Allow funnels to air dry completely before storing to prevent water spots or mildew.
- Storage: The funnels are designed to nest together for compact storage. They also feature convenient loops for hanging. Store in a dry place.

Troubleshooting
While the Norpro Plastic Funnel Set is simple to use, here are some common considerations:
- Slow Flow/Clogging: If liquid or dry ingredients are flowing too slowly, ensure the funnel stem is not completely sealed against the bottle opening. A small gap is needed for air to escape. For dry ingredients, ensure they are not clumping.
- Spills: Spills often occur from pouring too quickly or using a funnel with a stem too wide for the receiving container. Always pour slowly and select the correct funnel size.
- Staining: Certain highly pigmented liquids or spices may cause minor staining over time. This does not affect the functionality of the funnel. Clean immediately after use to minimize staining.
