Product Components

The Joyoung CTS1068 Soy Milk Maker consists of several key parts designed for efficient operation and easy cleaning.

The main components include:

• Motor Head: Contains the micro-computer control panel, grinding blades, and heating element.
• Stainless Steel Jug: The main container for ingredients and milk production, with a capacity of up to 1.5 liters.
• Filter Cup: Used to strain the soy milk after processing.
• Power Cord: Detachable power supply cord.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the stainless steel jug, filter cup, and any other parts that come into contact with food using warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the motor head with a damp cloth; do not immerse it in water.
3. Placement: Place the soy milk maker on a stable, flat, and dry surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
4. Assembly: Ensure the motor head is properly seated and latched onto the stainless steel jug. The appliance will not operate if not correctly assembled.

Operation

Follow these steps to make fresh soy milk:

1. Prepare Ingredients: For soy milk, soak 1/2 US cup of soybeans overnight (approximately 8-12 hours). Drain and rinse the soaked beans.
2. Add Ingredients: Place the prepared soybeans (or other ingredients like rice, mung beans, almonds) into the stainless steel jug.
3. Add Water: Fill the jug with water between the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated inside the jug. Do not overfill or underfill. The maximum capacity is 1.5 liters.
4. Secure Motor Head: Place the motor head onto the jug and ensure it is securely latched.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The appliance will typically beep once, and indicator lights may illuminate.
6. Select Program: Press the desired function button on the control panel (e.g., 'Soy Milk' for soaked beans). The micro-computer control will automatically manage the grinding and heating cycles.
7. Start Process: The machine will begin operation. It will heat, grind, and cook the ingredients. The process is fully automatic.
8. Completion: Once the process is complete, the machine will typically beep multiple times and enter a standby mode. Unplug the appliance.
9. Filter and Serve: Carefully remove the motor head. Pour the contents of the jug through the provided filter cup into another container to separate the milk from the pulp (okara). Serve the fresh soy milk warm or chill for later consumption.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and extends the life of your appliance. It is recommended to clean the unit immediately after each use.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Separate Components: Detach the motor head from the stainless steel jug.
3. Clean Jug and Filter: Wash the stainless steel jug and filter cup with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove any residue. The stainless steel interior is designed for easy cleaning. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. Clean Motor Head: Wipe the exterior of the motor head with a damp cloth. For the grinding and heating elements located underneath the motor head, use a damp cloth or a small brush to carefully remove any food particles. Do not immerse the motor head in water or rinse it under running water.
5. Stubborn Residue: If residue is sticky or difficult to remove, soak the jug and filter in warm water for a few minutes before scrubbing.
