How to Use Funnels
- 1). Place the narrow end of the funnel into the top of the receiving container. Depending on the size and stability of the funnel and the container, you may need to hold the funnel in place with one hand.
- 2). Pour the material into the wide end of the funnel. Watch as you pour to ensure that the material passes through the narrow end of the funnel faster than you add the materials to the wide end. This prevents the substance from overflowing from the wide end of the funnel.
- 3). Angle the pouring container away from you as you pour the material into the funnel. This helps ensure that the material will not splash you or your clothing.
- 4). Monitor the amount of material you have poured through the funnel into the receiving container. When the receiving container is full, the material will no longer pass through the narrow end of the funnel and will overflow the wide end of the funnel if you continue pouring it.
- 5). Pull the funnel out of the receiving container when you finish pouring material into it. Take care when removing the funnel to avoid dripping material from the narrow end of the funnel onto the exterior of the receiving container. Clean the funnel according to the manufacturer's directions.
