4. ASSEMBLY AND USE

a. Assembly
Before first use remove the product from its packaging. Wash all the utensils (pots, strainers and
lids) in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. For perfect results, place your product
on a level surface. Do not move the machine when making yoghurt and place it on a steady
surface that is not affected by the vibrations of other appliances (like the refrigerator).
b. Using the Control Panel
This product has two operating modes:
: Ideal temperature for making yoghurt.
: Ideal temperature for making soft cheese.
The cooking time may be adjusted for each mode:
+ : increases the timer (up to 19 hours)
- : reduces the timer (down to 1 hour)
c. Making Yoghurt
You need yoghurt to make yoghurt! Our chef says the first step in making the best batch of
yoghurt is understanding how it is produced. Yoghurt contains live bacteria and when added to
heated milk the bacteria multiply, fermenting the milk producing more yoghurt. The Cuisinart
2 in 1 Yoghurt Maker has been designed to maintain the perfect fermentation temperature
40 - 45°C for the duration of the cycle, which allows the bacteria to fully develop. It couldn't be
easier to make, all you need to get started is some natural yoghurt and milk.

More Flavours:
• Once you have made and refrigerated your natural yoghurt you can add fruits, nuts, granola
or any flavouring you desire.
Choosing Ingredients:
The yogurt that you use in your recipe will have an effect on the final flavour and texture so be
sure to choose a similar yoghurt to your desired outcome. For example, for a thicker yoghurt
use a Greek style natural yoghurt as a starter. The type of milk you use and the fat content will
also affect flavour and texture, the more fat content the firmest, tastiest yoghurt is produced.
• We recommend using whole milk.
• UHT milk will produce a slightly less firm yoghurt.
• Raw milk needs to be pre-boiled before use.
You can use non-dairy milks such as goat, sheep, soya, almond or coconut. These may require
additional sweetener to assist the fermentation process such as sugar or honey. You may also
wish to use a non-dairy starter yoghurt.
Once you're happy with your yoghurt flavour simply keep some back from each batch ready to
use as your starter yoghurt for the next. N.B Only use your yoghurt as a starter 6 – 8 consecutive
times before starting again with a shop bought natural yoghurt.
