• Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and let it cool down
before cleaning.
• We recommend that you clean the appliance after each use.
• Clean the Base and the Upper cover with a damp cloth only. DO NOT
IMMERSE THE BASE NOR THE COVER IN WATER OR OTHER
LIQUID.
• Wash the jars and their lids with warm soapy water. Lids are not dish-
washer safe. You can wash the jars in a dishwasher, top-rack only, keep-
ing the temperature below 150°F / 65°C.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning products to clean the parts.
• Do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
• The taste and texture of yogurt vary according to the milk and yogurt
starter selected. Yogurt can be made with the milk of any fat content, even
non-fat milk. You should experiment with the milk of various fat contents to
determine which you prefer.
• Yogurt made with skim milk or skim milk powder will have a soft consis-
tency. For thicker, creamier yogurt, add 1/2 cup milk powder to the milk
before heating.
• If you are using raw milk or milk which has been in your refrigerator for
several days, the best results will come from milk that has been boiled for
a few minutes and then cooled to the lukewarm temperature (95 °F). Heat-
ing the milk for too long or at too high a temperature will produce a poor
quality yogurt.
CLEANING
• If yogurt is left in the machine for too long, the curd and liquid whey will
separate. Once this occurs, you cannot reverse the process.
• After refrigerating, should a watery substance form on the top of your
yogurt, simply mix it in, or pour it off into your sink. This is a regular occur-
rence with homemade and commercial yogurts.
• You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavor-
ings, fruit, or other ingredients. It is best to flavor yogurt after being in a
refrigerator for several hours or right before eating. If you add flavoring
before refrigerating or add too much flavoring, your yogurt will become
very watery.
Here are some flavoring suggestions:
2 teaspoons of frozen juice concentrate-apple, orange, pineapple, etc.;
1 tablespoon of dietetic jam, preserves, or jelly;
1 tablespoon of juice nectar-pear, apricot peach, etc.;
1 teaspoon of your favorite gelatin or pudding/pie dessert (powder form);
1 teaspoon of molasses or maple syrup;
1 tablespoon of applesauce with a dash of cinnamon with some raisins;
1 tablespoon of your favorite liqueur;
1 tablespoon of sweetened coconut;
1 teaspoon of cocoa, chocolate or carob syrup; add some nuts or sesame
seeds for an extra crunch;
1 tablespoon of any natural cereal; add some fresh fruit for an extra treat;
1 teaspoon of instant coffee;
1 tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of vanilla.
