   3. KEEP COOL FUNCTION
   Ice cream insulation function: In order to prevent you from leaving during the ice-cream making process, and the ice-cream can not be eaten or stored in time after the completion of the production, which causes the ice-cream to melt, we have added the following humanized design: when the ice-cream making is completed but no one operates, the compressor will automatically turn off for 10 minutes and turn on for 6 minutes, so as to maintain the fresh taste and taste of the ice-cream texture.

   5. COMPRESSOR SELF-PROTECTION FUNCTION
   After the compressor stops, the restart time must be greater than or equal to 3 minutes. If the restart time is less than 3 minutes, it will start automatically after 3 minutes.
   6. CONTROLLING THE VOLUME OF THE INGREDIENTS
   To avoid overflow and waste, please make sure that the ingredients do not exceed 60% of capacity of the removable bowl (Ice cream expands when being formed). Yogurt is recommended not to exceed 80% of the inner barrel volume.

HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM

NOTE: Please thoroughly clean all parts that will contact with ice cream before use, including: cooling bowl, loading bowl, mixing fan blade, transparent lid, etc.
Before cleaning, you must ensure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the outlet. When making ice cream, keep the machine flat on a level surface to ensure that the compressor of the machine is working properly.
Here are the steps to make an ice cream:

Step 1.
Pour the well prepared recipe ingredients in proportion into theremovable bowl, then have a uniform mixing.
Make according to the following formula.
After mixing the formula mixture evenly, it can be made into ice cream within 60 minutes.
Cream: 6.35oz
Powdered Milk: 4.23oz
Water: 7oz Step 2.
Then put the loading bowl into the ice cream machine, both ends of the loading bowl handle shall be aligned with the groove of the upper cover. Step 3.
Install the transparent lid and motor components. Step 4.
Install the mixing fan blade, transparent lid and motor components Step 5.
Put the components installed in step 4 into the ice cream machine, make sure that the center of the convex hull of the loading bowl and the motor components of the mixing fan blade is in the same straight line, lock the components clockwise, and make sure that the triangle mark on the components rotates to the “LOCK” mark. Step 6.
Plug in the power supply, touch the POWER button for 1 second, the machine starts up, the ice cream mode indicator light is flashing red, touch the START/STOP button, the indicator light is on green, and start to make ice cream. Step 7.
When the ice cream is finished, touch the power button for 1 second, and the machine will shut down. Step 8.
Turn the transparent lid and motor components anticlockwise. In the process of spinning out, there will be a slight friction sound, which is normal. When the triangle mark is aligned with the unlocking mark, take out the components and then take out the loading bowl.

HOW TO MAKE YOGURT

Material preparation:
Add the raw materials into the container according to the following proportion and mix well.
Formula 1: 20 oz cold storage fresh milk + starter or 1.7 oz cold storage pure yogurt.
Formula 2: 20 oz sterile pure milk + starter or 1.7 oz cold storage pure yogurt,
Formula 3: 20 oz milk (which is made from milk powder) + starter or1.7 oz cold storage pure yogurt.
NOTES:

• Before adding the above ingredients, please check whether they have expired or gone bad.
• The addition amount of lactic acid bacteria starter is in accordance with the instructions of starter.
• When filling milk powder, please brew according to the proportion marked on the market milk powder, or according to the proportion of 150ml milk powder + 450ml water.
• The fermentation time will be affected by the environment temperature and the initial temperature of raw materials, so the fermentation time should be extended when the environment temperature is low or the milk is refrigerated. But the longest time is not more than 14 hours (when pure yogurt is used as fermentation source, the longest time is not more than 10 hours).
• Suggestion: the active lactic acid bacteria starter is preferred as the fermentation source, and the commercially available pure yogurt or the last self-made pure yogurt can also be used as the fermentation source when the starter is inconvenient to purchase.

Fermentation steps:
Plug in the power, press the power button, the machine starts, the default ice cream mode icon flashes, press the to select the yogurt function, press the START/STOP button, the yogurt mode icon will be on for a long time, and start to make yogurt.
Retain freshness:
Just fermented yogurt can be eaten immediately, but the yogurt has not reached the best taste at this time. For those who do not accept refrigerated food, they can be seasoned and eaten at this time. If they do not want to eat immediately, they can be operated in the following ways to keep yogurt fresh.

1.  After acidification, the machine stops working, and automatically enters the refrigeration mode to keep the yogurt fresh after 2 minutes. The refrigeration temperature of yogurt is 35.6 ℉ – 46.4 ℉. After refrigeration, the flavor of yogurt is pure and the taste is excellent (as long as the machine is not shut down, the machine is always in the refrigeration mode).
2. The fermented yogurt can be directly put into the refrigerator together with the container for cold storage purification. The flavor and taste is slightly worse.
   Note: yogurt should not be refrigerated for more than 10 days, and it is best to eat within 3 days, because the activity of lactic acid bacteria in yogurt is the highest during this period.
   Flavour:
   Before eating yogurt, you can add fruit juice, fructose and honey according to your own taste.

Tips:

1. If a large amount of gas and odor is produced after fermentation, it means that the water source or milk powder is polluted and should be discarded. If the sour taste appears white yellow luster “jellied beancurd” shape, it means that the fermentation is good.
2. Too long fermentation time will produce a large number of derivative liquid (light yellow liquid) with sour taste, which is a normal phenomenon. You can drink the derivative liquid separately (the derivative liquid contains rich lactic acid, vitamin B and other nutrients) or stir it for consumption.
3. Full fat milk powder or fresh milk is suitable for developing children, and low-fat or skim milk powder or fresh milk should be used for overweight children or obese people to maintain its figure(milk added with fructose can accelerate fermentation, avoid using flavored milk).
4. In case of diarrhea or stomach discomfort, it is recommended increasing the dosage from 3.4 oz to 6.7-10 oz each time.
