BEFORE FIRST USE

The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or from a previ-
ous batch of homemade yogurt. If you use the homemade yogurt,
please repeat only one time. Yogurt starter can be used instead of
yogurt. Follow the directions on the Yogurt Starter package.
When using commercial yogurt as a starter, buy only brands that con-
tain bacterial culture, and check the expiration date–culture becomes
weaker over time. Use only plain yogurt–flavored varieties will not
work.
• 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 tempera-
ture (95 °F). Heating the milk for too long or at too high a temperature
will produce a poor-quality yogurt.
• The taste and texture of yogurt vary according to the milk and yogurt
starter selected.
• See TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS section of this manual for further
details.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. To fill out all 8 jars, place 46 oz
(1.37 L) of fresh, pasteurized milk (it can
be either whole milk, skimmed or
semi-skimmed) in a clean bowl. Pour
out some of that milk in a separate bowl
and mix it with 2.4 oz (70 ml) of refriger-
ated yogurt. Stir until the yogurt is
dissolved and you have a smooth mix-
ture.
2. Add the prepared mixture gradually
to the remaining milk and stir gently
until combined.
NOTE: It is not necessary to make 8
jars of yogurt. You can make 2 or 3. This
will not harm your machine. The ratio
between the milk and yogurt should
be 95% milk-5% yogurt.
Note: The capacity of 1 jar is 6oz
(180ml).
3. Pour the mixture into the 8 jars of the
yogurt maker, and close the jars with jar
lids.
4. Place the jars in the yogurt maker.
5. Cover the yogurt maker with its
Upper cover.
6. Plug the yogurt maker into the wall
outlet.
7. Push the Power ON/OFF button to
turn on the unit; the Power indicator
light will turn blue.

• 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.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• 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.
8. It will take 8-12 hours for the yogurt to be made depending on the
type of milk (approximately 8 hours for whole milk; approximately 12
hours for skimmed milk), the room temperature, and your personal
preferences. Longer fermenting time produces yogurt with thicker
consistency and higher acidity. Shorter fermenting time produces
yogurt with thinner consistency and lower acidity.
NOTE: It takes around 6-8 hours for the machine to reach its maxi-
mum temperature of approx. 112°F / 45°C.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT MOVE THE YOGURT MAKER DURING THE
FERMENTING PROCESS. It is also not recommended to remove the
upper cover from the yogurt maker or the lid of the glass jars, but if
you do decide to open it to check the progress of your yogurt, be
aware that this will slightly affect the fermentation of the yogurt.
9. After 8-12 hours, push the Power ON/OFF button to turn off the unit
and remove the plug from the wall outlet.
10. Place the jars in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours before
eating.
CAUTION: The refrigeration time for the yogurt should not be more
than 7 days. It is recommended that you consume the yogurt within 3
days since the activation of lactobacillus in yogurt is the highest
during this period.
