You can use plant milk such as soya milk for example as well as sheep or goat’s milk but, in this case, the firmness of the yogurt may vary depending on the milk used. Raw milk or long-life milks and all the milks described below are suitable for your appliance:

Long-life sterilized milk: UHT whole milk results in firmer yogurt. Using semi-skimmed milk will result in less firm yogurt. However, you can use semi-skimmed milk and add 3-5 tablespoons of dried skimmed milk powder to 1 liter of milk
Pasteurized fresh milk: this milk gives a creamier yogurt with a litt-le bit of skin on the top. The milk must be boiled first, then left to cool and strained through a sieve to remove the skin.
Raw milk (farm milk): this must be boiled. It is also recom-mended to let it boil for a long time. It would be unsafe to use this milk without boiling it. You must then leave it to cool before using it in your appliance. Culturing using yogurt prepared with raw milk is not recommended.
Dried skimmed milk powder: using powdered milk will result in very creamy yogurt. Reconstitute the powder as directed on the packet. Choose a whole milk, preferably long-life UHT. Raw (fresh) or pasteurized fresh milk must be boiled then cooled and needs the skin removing.

THE FERMENT FOR YOGURT

This is made either from:

One shop-bought natural yogurt with the longest expiry date possible; your yogurt will therefore contain more active ferment for a firmer yogurt.
From a freeze-dried ferment. In this case, follow the activation time specified on the ferment instructions. You can find these ferments in supermarkets, pharmacies and in certain health product stores.
From one of your recently prepared yogurt – this must be na-tural and recently prepared. This is called culturing. After five culturing processes, the used yogurt loses active ferments and therefore risks giving a less firm consistency. You then need to start again using a shop bought yogurt or freeze-dried ferment. If you have boiled the milk, wait until it has reached room tem-perature before adding the ferment.

TIPS FOR MAKING YOGURT

You can make a large batch of natural yogurt directly in the bowl (maximum quantity of 1 liter of milk). Wash the bowl in warm wa-ter and washing up liquid, then rinse and dry them thoroughly.
All the equipment used in the yogurt making process should be sterilized using Milton sterilizing solution or cleaned in a di-shwasher. Sterilizing is important to prevent the introduction of undesirable airborne organisms which could interfere with the incubation of the culture, and results in runny yogurt which will not set.
Prepare the yogurt mixture as instructed in the recipe book sup-plied with your appliance. Also see the section “Choice of milk”.
You can sweeten natural yogurt either when you eat them or when you make them. After the yogurt is cooked, simply add su-gar or honey. Alternatively, when preparing the yogurt mixture dissolve the sugar after boiling the milk or dissolve in the cold UHT milk. Use no more than 80g sugar for 1 liter milk.
The “Yogurt Function” has a default cooking time of 8 hours. The cooking time is adjustable from a minimum of 0.5 hour to a maximum of 12 hours. A longer cooking time of 12 hours gives a more acidic and firmer yogurt. A shorter cooking time of 6 hours gives a sweeter, more fluid yogurt.
When the yogurt cooking process has finished, the yogurt should be cooled completely, covered with a lid or cling film. Chill the yogurt in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably over-night, before serving. This helps the yogurt to thicken slightly.
Natural yogurts will keep for a maximum of 7 days in the re-frigerator, depending on the freshness of the milk. Yogurts with jam or additional ingredients added will keep for up to 3 days.
Homemade yogurts do not contain the thickeners and stabi-lizers contained in commercially produced yogurt and are often thinner in consistency. Sometimes homemade yogurt has nutri-tious clear whey on top which can be stirred back in. Alterna-tively, you can pour it off.
Homemade natural yogurt can be flavored with fresh fruit or cold cooked stewed fruit after preparation and chilling. If the fruit is added before fermentation the fruit acids interfere with the setting process and the yoghurts will be very runny. Some very acidic fruits, such as fresh pineapple, can cause the yogurt to curdle or separate. Acidic fruit is best served in a separate bowl

If temperature is set >100C, press the Pressure Release Button to release the pressure, after cooking. When the float valve is down, take hold of the lid knob, turn anti-clockwise and lift the lid up to open.
Suggestion for quickly reheating dishes: set temperature to >=95C and cook with lid closed but unlocked for 4mins.

Use the delayed start function

A delayed start can be useful to preset the appliance to start cooking later.

First select a program following the steps described above in part 6.
Before starting the selected program, press displays the default time for delayed start.
Set the desired time by turning the control panel knob to the right (to increase time) or to the left (to decrease time).
Press . The screen displays the delayed start count down.

Open the lid

Do not attempt to open the lid if the float valve is up and if the under pressure light indicator is turned on.
The pressure can be release in 2 different ways at the end of the cooking:

Natural release: At the end of the cooking or after stopping the program, the appliance will cool down by itself, and the pressure will release naturally. During natural release, food might over-cook due to the remaining pressure in the pot. Use manual re-lease to stop cooking process immediately.
Manual release: Press continuously the pressure release button, on top of the lid. It will take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the amount of food inside of the cooking pot (Fig.34).
WARNING: Be careful of the hot steam coming out from the appliance. Keep your face and hands away from the steam output (Fig.45).

To open the lid, position your arm parallel to the side handles, take hold of the lid knob, turn anti-clockwise and lift the lid up (Fig.35 & 36).

WARNING: Be careful of the hot steam coming out from the cooking pot.

Unplug the appliance

After usage, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least 2 hours before cleaning.

Clean after use

Clean your appliance after each use.
Before cleaning, let your appliance cool down for at least 2 hours.
For cleaning instructions, refer to part 3. Clean all parts of the appliance in BEFORE FIRST USE section.

Maintenance tips

To ensure the durability of the cooking pot time over time, do not cut food in it.
Use the provided accessories. Do not use any metallic utensil as it could damage the nonstick coating in the pot.
After usage, the sealing gasket may keep the smell of your dish. It is normal; silicone has little pores that open up when exposed to high temperature and close back once temperature drops. To eliminate the smell from the sealing gasket, you can:
- Put the silicone ring in the dishwasher
- Add 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of water and 1 lemon cut in large pieces into the cooking pot and launch a steam program for 2 minutes, then let the steam release naturally.
Change the sealing gasket every 2 years or earlier in case of damage.
