4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Making Yogurt

  1. Prepare Ingredients: You will need milk (whole, semi-skimmed, or skimmed) and a yogurt starter (either a sachet of ferment or a plain yogurt from a previous batch).
  2. Mix: In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the milk with the yogurt starter. Ensure the starter is well dissolved.
  3. Pour: Pour the mixture evenly into the 12 clean glass pots. Do not overfill.
  4. Place Pots: Remove the individual lids from the glass pots and place the open pots into the yogurt maker base unit.
  5. Cover: Place the transparent lid over the yogurt maker base unit.
  6. Select Program: Plug in the appliance. Use the control panel to select the desired program (e.g., Standard Yogurt, Express Program). Refer to the specific program details for recommended fermentation times.
  7. Start: Press the start button to begin the fermentation process. The display will show the remaining time.
  8. Cool: Once the program finishes, unplug the appliance. Carefully remove the glass pots, place their individual lids on, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. This stops the fermentation and firms the yogurt.

4.2. Making Strained Yogurt or Soft Cheese (using Delices Box)

To make strained yogurt or soft cheese, first prepare a batch of plain yogurt using the yogurt maker as described above. Once the yogurt is chilled and firm:

  1. Assemble Delices Box: Ensure the strainer is placed inside the 1-liter container.
  2. Pour Yogurt: Gently pour the prepared plain yogurt into the strainer within the Delices Box.
  3. Refrigerate: Place the lid on the Delices Box and refrigerate. The longer the yogurt strains, the thicker it will become, yielding strained yogurt (Greek-style) or even soft cheese.
  4. Collect Whey: The whey will collect at the bottom of the 1-liter container. This can be discarded or used in other recipes.

  • Standard Yogurt: For classic, firm yogurt.
  • Soft Yogurt: For a creamier, less firm consistency.
  • Dairy Desserts: For various sweet fermented preparations.
  • Fermented Drinks: For liquid fermented beverages.
  • Express Program: For quicker yogurt preparation.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your appliance.

  1. Unplug: Always unplug the yogurt maker from the power outlet before cleaning.
