Ostavite da aparat radi od 5 do 10 časova. Tokom rada aparat nemojte pomerati.

Temperatura prostorije može da utiče na vreme izrade jogurta. U slučaju niže temperature prostorije, vreme izrade jogurta se produžuje, ali ne više od ukupno 14 sati.

Kada je jogurt pripremljen, isključite napravu i izvucite priključni kabl iz utičnice električne instalacije.

Čaše s jogurtom premestite u frižider i ostavite da se jogurt ohladi.

Saveti:

Da bi dobili što bolje rezultate mleko najpre zagrejte na 85 °C, a zatim ostavite da se ohladi na 35 °C pre nego što mu dodate jogurt i pripremite mešavinu.

Umesto jogurta možete koristiti i suve kulture. Pri tome se pridržavajte uputstava proizvođača tog proizvoda.

Za izradu novog jogurta možete kao osnov uzeti i jogurt kog ste već izradili, ali to možete uraditi najviše tri do četiri puta. Nakon toga jogurt će biti previše vodnjikav. Tada je vreme da postupak izrade započnete sa svežim jogurtom.

Čišćenje:

Pre čišćenja proverite da li je aparat iskopčan iz električne instalacije i da li je potpuno ohlađen.
