Operating Instructions

The FOHERE B20T1 Yogurt Maker features 8 automatic programs and an intuitive LED display for easy operation.

Available Programs:

The yogurt maker offers 8 preset programs, each optimized for specific fermentation processes:

• Greek Yogurt: For thick, strained yogurt.
• Icelandic Yogurt: For a dense, high-protein yogurt (Skyr).
• Yogurt: Standard yogurt fermentation.
• Fruit Enzyme: For preparing fruit enzymes.
• Fruit Vinegar: For making fruit vinegars.
• Fruit Wine: For fruit wine fermentation.
• Cheese: For fresh cheese preparation.
• Rice Wine: For traditional rice wine.

Basic Yogurt Making Process:

1. Step 1: Prepare Ingredients. Add milk and a starter culture (e.g., probiotic powder or a small amount of plain yogurt) into one of the glass containers. Stir well to combine.
2. Step 2: Start Fermentation. Place the container into the main unit. Close the lid. Press the "Menu/Cancel" button to cycle through the programs until your desired program (e.g., "Yogurt") is selected. Use the "Time" buttons to adjust the fermentation duration (up to 240 hours). If no action is taken within 3 seconds of selection, the program will automatically lock and start.
3. Step 3: Finishing. Once the program is complete, the machine will emit an audible signal and automatically shut off. Carefully remove the container. For Greek yogurt, use the provided strainer to separate whey. Allow the yogurt to cool before refrigerating.
4. Step 4: Serve. Add fruits, honey, or other toppings as desired before serving.

Note: The exact fermentation time and temperature are automatically maintained for each function. Refer to the included recipe book for specific recipes and recommended timings.
