You need a filter flask, rubber rings to put between the flask and the fritted funnel and finally you need a vacuum pump to attach to the filter flask.

Look at this wiki page for a graphic depiction: Büchner funnel - Wikipedia

It is not advisable to filter raw plant material in a glass fritted funnel. Little plant particles get stuck in the frit and are a pain to get out with anything but Caro's acid (which is not something you would want to have in the kitchen.)

This pomp will be ok to filter 6 liters? after this pump may break:p
 
You need a stopper with an appropriately sized hole in it for a filter flask. So probably an 8, then you hook up a vacuum source to the vacuum attatchment, in your case it's likely going to be a hand pump. You put your filter paper in, wet with w/e you're running through it, water, organic, whichever. Then you allow the pump to run and pour whatever you're filtering through the funnel.

These filters are meant to work with a vacuum. No vac, no bueno.
