be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull
the power cord, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance.
∙ During operation, the appliance must
be placed on a level, non-slip surface,
impervious to splashes and stains.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to touch hot surfaces or to come
into contact with any heat sources.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
- in case of any malfunction,
- after use, and also
- before cleaning the appliance.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself. Do not let the
power cord hang free.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
Before using for the first time
∙ Before the appliance is used for the
first time, all parts must be cleaned as
described in Cleaning and care.

Preparing the ingredients
∙ To make yoghurt you will need milk and,
to start the fermentation process, natural
fresh yoghurt (not heat-treated and
without sugar, fruit or fruit juice).
∙ Dry culture (yoghurt powder) can be
used instead of fresh yoghurt.
∙ Generally, any sort of cow's milk can
be used. Sterilised or U. H. T. milk will
give the best results. Any other sort of
milk should be heated up to 90 °C for a
short time before use. Allow the milk to
cool down to below 40 °C afterwards.
Higher temperatures could destroy
the yoghurt cultures.
∙ Vegan yoghurt can be made of soy or
coconut milk. Oat or almond milk are not
suitable.
Hint:
∙ Yoghurt made from plant-based milk
turns our rather creamy and less
solid. If desired, we recommend to
add starch (1-2 table spoons per 1 L
milk). Please follow the preparation
instructions in the Recipes section.
∙ The amount of starch may be varied
according to taste.
