Electronic Yogurt Maker with Automatic Cooling

OPERATION

Different cultures yield different results, with some producing thinner yogurts than others.
If after making a batch of yogurt thicker results are desired, we recommend following the
step for heating the milk below before adding the yogurt base to the yogurt maker.

Heat milk on the stove to 180°F (some cultures recommend only 160°F, so follow the
instructions per the particular culture).

For best results (but not essential), keep milk at this temperature for about 20 minutes.

Cool milk until a thermometer reads 110°F. Once cooled to 110°F, stir in culture and any
other thickening agent into the milk so that it is fully incorporated. Transfer mixture to the
yogurt maker and set the appropriate fermentation time.

If following the recommended step, subtract one to two hours from the fermentation time.

1.

Put all of the ingredients in the yogurt container and then cover it with the
yogurt container lid.

Place the filled container into the housing and cover with the housing lid.

2.

Plug the unit in, then set the fermentation time (1–24 hours*) using the “+”

3.

and “-” buttons.

* Use 8 hours as a starting point but refer to recipes for more specific guidelines.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)

Once desired fermentation time is flashing on the LED display, press the START

4.

button. At this point the fermentation numbers on the LED will become solid and
fermentation countdown will begin.

NOTE: To change the fermentation time during operation, press the STOP button.
The fermentation time will begin flashing again and you can adjust the time using
the “+” and “-” buttons. Once adjusted time is shown flashing on the screen, press
the START button again and the unit will adjust the time accordingly.

After fermentation is complete, the unit will automatically switch into cooling

5.

mode and display “C” in the LED. As long as the unit is plugged in, it will stay in
cooling mode until you turn the unit off. After 8–12 hours the temperature of the
yogurt will be between 43 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit (6–11 degrees Celsius).

NOTE: Yogurt will be at its best and should be eaten within the first three days after
completion. Yogurt can be kept for up to 8 days.

To turn the unit off or end the cooling cycle, press and hold the STOP button for

6.

3 seconds. Once the unit is off, you can either remove the container and place it
directly in the refrigerator, or use the yogurt scoop provided and divide yogurt into
individual portions.
