3. Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your butter churner for use:

1. Prepare Cream: Ensure your heavy cream is at room temperature for optimal results. Pour the cream into the glass jar, filling it to an appropriate level (do not overfill).
2. Install Lid and Blade: Place the lid with the churning blade into the glass jar. Ensure the blade is submerged in the cream.
3. Attach Main Unit: Align the main unit (motor housing) with the lid. Rotate the main unit to lock it securely onto the lid and jar assembly. Look for the lock icons on the device to ensure proper alignment and secure locking.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the main unit and then into a power source. The indicator light on the main unit should illuminate.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the device is set up, making butter is a simple one-touch process:

1. Start Churning: Press the power button on the top of the main unit. The churning process will begin.
2. Observe Stages: The cream will go through several stages. Initially, it will be visibly stirred and shaken. As it thickens, agitation will reduce, and a clearer liquid level line will be seen. Finally, the butter solids will separate from the buttermilk.
3. Completion: The vigorous shaking liquid returns, indicating that the butter and buttermilk have separated. Continue shaking for another 30-60 seconds to obtain the final product.
4. Stop and Remove: Once the butter has formed, press the power button again to turn off the device. Disconnect the power adapter. Carefully remove the main unit, then unscrew the lid with the churning blade.
5. Separate Butter: Pour out the buttermilk and collect the butter solids. You may rinse the butter with cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk, which helps preserve it longer.

Important: Make sure to remove your butter promptly. If the device is not turned off within about 10 minutes after the butter and buttermilk have separated, they may recombine, forming an irreversible failed mixture.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

The IFOLO Electric Butter Churner is designed for easy cleaning due to its detachable components.

• Disassembly: After use, disconnect the power. Remove the main unit and unscrew the lid from the glass jar.
• Cleaning Components: The glass jar and the lid with the churning blade can be washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure all butter residue is removed. For best results, use a dish soap that effectively emulsifies fats.
• Main Unit: The main unit containing the motor should not be submerged in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
• Drying: Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling or storing.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your IFOLO Electric Butter Churner, consider the following:

• Butter Not Forming:
  • Cream Temperature: Ensure heavy cream is at room temperature. Cold cream may take significantly longer to churn or may not form butter effectively.
  • Cream Type: Use pure heavy whipping cream or buttermilk without additives like carrageenan or stabilizers, as these can prevent proper butter formation.
  • Churning Time: While typically 5-10 minutes, some cream types or temperatures may require longer (up to 40 minutes or more). Continue churning until separation is clear.
• Device Not Starting:
  • Power Connection: Verify the power adapter is securely plugged into both the main unit and a working electrical outlet.
  • Lid Alignment: Ensure the main unit is correctly aligned and locked onto the lid and jar assembly. The device has safety features that prevent operation if not properly assembled.
• Butter and Buttermilk Recombining: If the butter is not removed shortly after separation (within approximately 10 minutes), it may recombine with the buttermilk, making it difficult to separate. Always remove butter promptly once formed.
