MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance.
Clean the base and the cover with a damp cloth and avoid abrasives.
Do not immerse the cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquids.
The Glass Jars are dishwasher safe.

BEFORE FIRST TIME USE

Remove any labels or stickers from appliance.
Before first use or after periods of prolonged storage, thoroughly wash cover, glass jars and white lids in warm, soapy water then rinse and dry completely. White lids are not dishwasher safe, however the glass jars are.
Wipe the inside of Yogurt maker with a damp cloth.
Prepare following utensils: a high sided saucepan, a pitcher, a sieve and a spoon. Ensure all these utensils are thoroughly washed with warm water and soap and they are dry before start making yogurt.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thoroughly wash the jars with hot water and soap before using.
To make yogurt, pour 7 glass jars (equal to 42oz) of fresh, pasteurized milk (it can be either whole milk, skimmed or semi-skimmed) into a high-sided saucepan.
Heat the milk until it boils and starts to climb the side of the saucepan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the milk to cool to lukewarm temperature (95∞F).
Once the milk has cooled, pour it into a pitcher through a sieve or fine mesh colander.
Stir in one glass jar (equal to 6oz) full of plain yogurt with some of the strained milk in a separate bowl until the yogurt is dissolved and you have a smooth mixture. (The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. If you use the homemade yogurt, please repeat only 1 time. Freeze-dried Yogurt Starter can be used instead of yogurt. Follow the directions on the Yogurt Starter package).
Mix the room temperature milk very well with the smooth mixture as prepared above.
Pour the mixture into the seven jars of the yogurt maker.
Place the Jars – without the white lids – in the yogurt maker.
Cover the yogurt maker with its clear cover.

Boiling ensures a firmer yogurt familiar to most American tastes.

For Softer Yogurt Without Boiling: You do not have to boil the pasteurized milk; however you must make sure that the milk is lukewarm (95∞F) before pouring it into the glass jars.
For Firmer Yogurt Without Boiling: Just add 10 tablespoons of powdered milk to the room temperature pasteurized milk before pouring it into the glass jars.

TO OPERATE

Plug the yogurt maker into the wall socket.
Push the switch button on, the pilot lamp will go on.
Set the hour reminder to the time desired for the yogurt to be ready. It will take about seven hours to make yogurt with whole milk. For skimmed milk will takes about ten hours. The hour reminder will not switch off the yogurt maker. It just reminds you when to push off switch button and remove the plug from the wall socket.
When the yogurt is ready, turn off the unit and remove the plug from the socket.
Water may condense on the clear lid of the yogurt maker. When you remove the clear lid, take care not to drip any accumulated water into the finished yogurt.
Cover the individual jars with the white lids and chill them in the refrigerator for a minimum of three hours before eating.

THE YOGURT MAKER SHOULD REMAIN PERFECTLY STILL DURING THE MATURING PROCESS. DO NOT MOVE THE APPLIANCE OR REMOVE ANY GLASS JARS AS THIS WILL AFFECT THE FIRMNESS OF THE YOGURT.
