1. Prepare the Mixture:
   • Pour 800-1000ml of pure milk into a clean pitcher.
   • Add 1 packet (1g) of yogurt starter culture powder to the milk.
   • Stir the mixture gently until the powder is fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
2. Fill the Jars:
   • Carefully pour the milk and starter mixture into the 7 individual glass jars.
   • Place the lids on the glass jars.
   • Arrange the filled and covered jars inside the yogurt maker's main unit.
   • Place the transparent lid over the entire unit.
3. Set the Fermentation Time:

   • Plug in the yogurt maker. The LCD display will illuminate.
   • Press the power button to turn on the machine.
   • Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the fermentation time. A common recommendation is 8 to 10 hours. Longer fermentation times generally result in thicker yogurt.
   • Once the desired time is set, the machine will automatically start the fermentation process. The PTC heating element will maintain a constant temperature between 35°C and 45°C.
4. Completion:
   • When the fermentation time is complete, the machine will automatically shut off and emit a beep.
   • Carefully remove the jars from the yogurt maker.
   • Allow the yogurt to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving. This helps the yogurt set further and improves texture.
5. Serving Suggestion:
   • Once chilled, enjoy your homemade yogurt. You can add honey, jam, nuts, cereals, or fresh fruits according to your preference.
