CAUTION
•
Homemade nut milk should last about a week, if refrigerated. The Midea
NRG milk maker heats the water during processing, which pasteurizes
the milk.
•
Do not use the milk maker to reheat cold nut milk, reheat cold paste or
boil water.
Processing Functions
Processing times vary depending on the processing function selected. Thicker
milks and oatmeal require a longer processing time, and some functions both
stir and heat.
For optimum results, use the ratio of liquid to solid recommended in your
recipe. However, the ratio can be adjusted to suit your personal taste.
Your model has a capacity of 48 oz to 56 oz (1.4 L to 1.7 L).

Making Nut, Rice or Grain Milk
Your milk maker uses dried bean pulping technology, so soy beans do not
REQUIRE pre-soaking before processing. However, soaking the soybeans
(legumes), nuts, rice or grain before processing will result in a greater milk
yield.
WARNING - Food Poisoning
• Soybean milk must be boiled before drinking.
• If kept at room temperature, fresh soybean milk should be drunk within 6 hours.
Failure to do so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
NOTE: Before first use, remove the pulp container from the milk chamber, and
then clean all the parts that come into direct contact with food.
1. Clean and prepare food for processing.
2. Measure the prepared food and add it to the milk chamber.
NOTE: Use the 4 oz. measuring cup (provided) to precisely measure
ingredients. For optimum results, use only the ingredients in the amounts
specified in your recipe.
3. Fill the milk chamber with room-temperature tap water until the water
level is between the minimum and maximum water-level lines.
NOTES:
•
Use room-temperature tap water. Using distilled or purified water, or
hot water will result in over-boiling causing a burnt taste.
•
You can control the consistency of the nut, rice or grain milk by adding
a little more or less water as long as the water level falls between the
minimum and the maximum water level marks.
•
Using too much or too little water will adversely affect the milk making
process.

4. Plug the processor into the milk chamber. Make sure the plug on the
processor is fully inserted into the plug receptacle on top of the milk
chamber handle to complete the electrical connection.

NOTE: If you unintentionally select the wrong function, press and hold
START/CANCEL for 3 seconds to cancel the function, and then press
MENU to reselect.
8. The milk maker will process according to the function selected. The
function light will flash and a tone will sound to indicate processing is
complete.
NOTE: During the warming phase of the process, it is normal for the
processor to stir intermittently.
WARNING - Burn
• Allow time for the hot milk to drain from the processor and into the milk chamber.
• Carefully remove the processor from the milk chamber so that hot milk does not
contact skin.
Failure to do so can result in burns.
9. Unplug the power supply cord from the wall outlet. Wait 30 seconds for
the processor to drain before lifting the processor from the milk chamber.
CAUTION
The milk will be hot.
10. Holding the filter or the fine-mesh bag over the container, pour the
processed milk through the filter or bag into a container.
NOTES:
•
The filter or milk bag acts as a strainer to separate the liquid from the
solids.
•
Use the blender to stir and press the liquid from the pulp.
11. Flavor the milk, if desired. Add a pinch of sea salt, brown sugar, vanilla, or
any other favorite flavors.
12. Allow milk to cool before serving.
CAUTION
Soybean milk must be boiled before drinking. If kept at room
temperature, fresh soybean milk should be drunk within 6 hours.
Making Tofu
1. Wash and prepare the amount of soybeans specified in your Tofu recipe.
2. Using the 4 oz measuring cup (provided), measure the soybeans and
place them into the milk chamber.
3. Add room-temperature water to the maximum fill line.
Page 12
Use
4. Plug the processor into the milk chamber. Connect the power cord to the
milk chamber receptacle, and then plug into the wall outlet.
5. Press MENU to select TOFU from among the processing functions, and
then press START/CANCEL to begin processing.
6. While the soybeans are processing, add gypsum powder to a container
(larger than 2 L). To the gypsum powder, add 5 oz to 7 oz (15 g to 20 g)
room-temperature water. Shake well to mix.
NOTE: This step must be completed before removing the soybean milk.
7. Once the soybean milk is processed, strain the processed milk through the
filter into the pulp container to separate the milk from the pulp. Use the
blender to stir and press the milk from the pulp.
NOTE: If desired, you may add sugar or flavoring to the soybean milk at
this point.
8. Quickly pour the HOT, filtered soybean milk into the gypsum powder
solution. The soybean milk must be hot when it is added to the gypsum
solution to produce the correct tofu pudding consistency.
NOTE: Pour the soybean milk into the gypsum solution. DO NOT pour the
gypsum solution into the soybean milk.
9. Let the mixture stand for approximately 10 minutes. Once the tofu
pudding has solidified, the tofu is ready to eat or mold.
Molding Tofu
1. With the Midea logo facing upward, insert a disc into the tofu mold
cylinder to create the bottom of the tofu mold.
