Frequently Asked Questions - 439 LAGRANGE

How long does it take to make yogurt with the Lagrange 439?

Typically 8 to 12 hours. The exact time depends on the desired tartness and ambient temperature. Check the yogurt after 8 hours; longer fermentation yields a tangier taste.

Can I use UHT milk in this yogurt maker?

Yes, UHT milk works well. No need to boil it first. Simply pour directly into the jars and add starter culture or a tablespoon of plain yogurt.

How do I clean the jars and lids?

All jars and lids are dishwasher safe on the top rack. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Do not immerse the base in water.

Why is my yogurt runny?

Runny yogurt can result from insufficient fermentation time, too low temperature, or using milk with low protein content. Try increasing fermentation time by 2 hours or using whole milk.

Can I use the yogurt maker to make plant-based yogurt?

Yes, but results vary. For soy or coconut milk, add a thickener like agar-agar or cornstarch. The machine maintains the ideal temperature for all types of milk.

Does the Lagrange 439 have an automatic shut-off?

No, it does not have an automatic timer. You must manually unplug it when done. However, it has a safety auto shut-off if the lid is lifted or if it overheats.

How many jars come with the machine?

The Lagrange 439 includes 7 glass jars, each with a capacity of 150 ml. They are marked with volume indicators.

Can I store the yogurt in the same jars?

Yes, the jars come with airtight lids. Once the yogurt is ready, refrigerate with the lids on. Consume within 5-7 days.

What is the power consumption of this yogurt maker?

It consumes only 15 watts, making it energy-efficient. Running for 10 hours uses about 0.15 kWh.

Where can I buy replacement jars?

Replacement jars and lids are available from the Lagrange website or authorized distributors. Use only original parts for proper fit.

Environmental Protection – DIRECTIVE 2012/19/UE DEEE

To protect the environment and people's health, it is important for everyone, including all suppliers and users, to follow specific guidelines for the disposal of any electrical appliance at the end of its useful life.

For this reason, the appliance at hand bears the marking on its data plate to remind you never to dispose of it in any public or private bin meant for household rubbish.

Instead, you should return it to your retail shop or drop it off at a collection site that uses selective sorting to redirect items for recycling and eventual reuse in other applications.

START-UP AND USE

1ST USE

* Make sure that the yogurt maker is unplugged before any handling.
* Clean all of the parts well before using your yogurt maker (see upkeep section).
* Dry the base well before putting the glass jars into the unit.

ATTENTION: Never put your yogurt maker on a vibrating surface (such as the top of a refrigerator) or exposed to drafts. Always leave it immobile during the process, do not move it or remove the glass jars during the cycle as this could detract from the quality of the yogurt.

START-UP

* Mix 1 liter of milk with a ferment (see practical suggestions).
* Use ingredients at room temperature. The lower the room temperature, the longer the time needed.
* For optimal results, whip the yogurt separately. Add a little milk and whip again until you obtain a homogeneous and smooth mixture. Add the rest of the milk while continuing the whipping.
* Put the mixture into the glass jars.
* Put the jars, without their covers, into the yogurt maker.
* Place the cover on the yoghurt maker.

Picture 1

* Stack the container lids within reach of the yoghurt maker (see picture 1).
* Plug the appliance into a mains socket. The screen flashes and displays '00'.
* Press the "time set" button until the desired time is displayed (see practical suggestions). The maximum programmable time is 15 hours. In order to speed up the time setting, hold the button for 2 seconds.
* Press the "on/off" button. When the beeper is heard and the blue light of the screen goes on, this means that the program has started.
* The screen will then indicate the number of hours remaining until the end of the program.
* When the cycle is over, the screen displays "00" without blin-king, and the blue light goes off. A signal sounds 5 times. To stop the sound at any time, press the on/off button.
* Once the unit is in the off position, the screen will display "00" and will be blinking.
* Unplug the appliance after each use.
* Let the yogurt maker cool and then remove the glass jars.
* WARNING: condensation may form in the cover of the unit. When you remove the cover, be careful not to let the accumulated water fall into the yogurt.
* Screw the lids onto the glass containers and mark the yoghurt flavour or production date on the lid tops using a dry-erase marker.
* Place the containers in the refrigerator for at least 2 h before serving.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS

Choice of milk:

* Whole or semi-skimmed UHT milk is easier to use (these types of milk do not require boiling).
* Raw or pasteurized milk (homogenized, 2% or skimmed) must be boiled (it would be dangerous to use raw milk without first boiling it) and cooled and then strained to remove the skin.
* Whole milk produces a yogurt that is more creamy and tasty.
* For yogurt with a firmer consistency, add about 5 teaspoons of powdered milk.
* Expect 8 to 10 hours for preparation of yogurt with whole milk, 10 to 12 hours for yogurt with semi-skimmed milk and 12 to 14 hours for yogurt with skimmed milk.

The ferment:

You can use several types of ferment:

* Plain yogurt sold in stores.
* Yogurt that you made before (remark: do not use yogurt that you have made more than 5 times because this will dimini-sh the result).
* A freeze-dried ferment (in this case, add two hours to the preparation time).

CONSERVATION

* Keep your yogurt chilled, in a refrigerator.
* Do not keep it in the refrigerator for more than 7 days.

UPKEEP

WARNING: never put the base of the unit or the plug into water..

* Base of the unit and plastic covers: clean the base of the yogurt maker with a moist sponge and a little dishwashing liquid. Dry it thoroughly. Do not put the plastic covers into a dishwasher, wash them by hand.
* Glass jars: the jars can be put in a dishwasher. They should be thoroughly dry before they are placed in the yogurt maker.
* To remove the markings from a lid, wipe with a dry cloth.

RECIPES

SWEETENED YOGURTS

You can either prepare plain yogurt according to the suggestions in the "start-up" section and then add granulated sugar, or you can add sugar before preparing the yogurt. To do this, add the sugar at the same time as the milk and ferment and mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Variant: You can replace the sugar with vanilla-flavored sugar during the preparation.

YOGURT WITH FRESH FRUITS

Remark: if you use fresh fruits than contain a lot of acid, we suggest adding them to the yogurt after the preparation because the acidity of the fruit can kill the ferments and hinder the preparation of the yogurt.

1 cup of chopped fresh fruit – 4 to 5 tablespoons of sugar (according to your taste) – 1 plain yogurt or 1 bag of ferment 1L of milk.

Mix the milk and the ferment until the consistency is homoge-neous. Add the chopped fruits while continuing to mix. Put the mixture into the 7 jars.

YOGURT WITH JAM

4 tablespoons of fruit jam or jelly - 1 plain yogurt or 1 bag of ferment - 1L of milk.

Heat the jam or jelly over a very low flame. Add the milk gradually, then add the ferment. Mix well until the consistency is homogeneous. Let it cool slightly, then put the mixture into the 7 jars.

If you use a jam that is not very thick, you can mix it directly with the milk without first heating it.

YOGURT WITH COFFEE

2 tablespoons of sugar (according to taste) -1 tablespoon of instant coffee - 1 plain yogurt or 1 ferment bag - 1 L of milk.

Heat some milk over a low heat. Dissolve the coffee and the sugar in the milk. Mix well. Add the remainder of the cold milk and the ferment. Mix until the consistency is homogeneous then put the mixture into the 7 jars.

Option: use caramel or powdered chocolate instead of coffee.
