Operating Instructions

Please read these directions for use carefully before using the machine.

You will soon be enjoying fresh, delicious soya milk.

The soya milk maker is versatile machine. With a little practice, you will be able to produce delicious plant milk. Not only from dry or soaked soya beans, but also from sesame or almonds. However, good results will be obtained most easily with milk made from soaked soya beans.

Therefore it is wise to gain your first experience with these beans.

1. The whole process of making soya bean milk is automatic.
2. Thanks to the helical knives with angle dentition, food materials (dried or soaked) are grinded thoroughly which results in very strong and nice soya milk.
3. The whole process is controlled by a micro-computer. The controlled proportion between water and beans, the grinding temperature and the boiling mode, result in tasty soya milk.
4. You can also make vegetable soup.
5. The machine has a multi-functional and an autoprotection device (such as anti-waterless heating, antioverflowing, overheating protection, etc.) to ensure a safe and reliable use.
6. Alarm and light indicate the power connection, process finish and trouble appearance.

Function keys

When the boiling temperature is reached, the mixer will start to work 4 times in a row, after which the boiling continues until the 30 minutes are passed. The machine can be interrupted during a program by pushing this button (Off-function).

Making soy milk

Follow these instructions to make fresh soy milk, nut milk, or rice milk.

1. Soak soybeans: Use the measuring cup and take a full cup of dry soybeans (2.5oz – 3.5oz., 70g – 95g). Rinse soybeans thoroughly and leave to soak.

   TIP: When soaking the beans, put beans directly into the milk screen and place the screen into the utility cup. Pour water into the utility cup to soak the beans and let it sit.

2. Add water to stainless steel chamber: Fill the stainless-steel chamber with water so that water level is between the upper and lower water-level lines. You can control the consistency of the soybean milk by adding more or less water. The lower level mark will be appropriate for 70g of soybeans, while the upper level mark will be appropriate for 95g of soybeans. You can add warm water to shorten the processing time. Do NOT add water over 40°C.
3. Load soybeans and attach the milk screen to the head unit: Drain the soybeans and load them into the milk screen. Attach the milk screen to the head unit by moving the blade in a side-to-side motion to allow the screen to slide properly into place. Lock the milk screen by turning it counterclockwise (markings on the milk screen indicate the proper lock and unlock directions).

   CAUTION: BE SURE THE SCREEN IS PROPERLY LOCKED IN PLACE! If the screen becomes loose during operation, the spinning blade could damage the screen.

4. Assemble machine and make soybean milk: Connect the head unit to the stainless steel chamber. Make sure the upper plug slides into the upper plug receptacle on top of the handle. Plug the provided power cord into the power plug receptacle, and connect the other end to a wall socket. Once plugged in, the soy milk maker will beep and a red light will flash, indicating that the power is on. Choose the milk setting by pressing the "MILK" button on the head unit, and the red light will turn solid, indicating that the cycle is starting. The cycle will take approximately 15 minutes. When finished, the indicator light will blink green, and the machine will beep.
5. Pour milk and enjoy: Unplug the base unit. Lift the head unit from the stainless steel chamber. When removing the head unit, be careful not to touch the screen. It will be hot. Make sure that all the milk drains from the screen before moving the head unit away from the stainless steel chamber. Place the head unit with the screen still attached into the utility cup to cool. Carefully pour milk from the stainless steel chamber.

   CAUTION: Soy milk will be hot. Allow milk to cool before serving.
   TIP: Add your favorite ingredients to flavour your soy milk. Add a pinch of sea salt, or brown sugar, vanilla - any other flavors you like.

Making rice paste

1. Soak rice: Use the measuring cup and take a full cup of dry rice (115g). Rinse thoroughly and leave to soak. Soak rice for 30 minutes.
2. Add water to the stainless steel chamber: Add water to the stainless steel pitcher between the upper and lower water-level lines.
3. Load rice and assemble the machine: Drain the rice and load it into the special rice paste screen. Attach the rice paste screen to the head unit by moving the blade in a side-to-side motion to allow the screen to slide properly into place. Lock the rice paste screen by turning it counter-clockwise (markings on the milk screen indicate the proper lock and unlock directions).

   CAUTION: BE SURE THE SCREEN IS PROPERLY LOCKED IN PLACE! If the screen becomes loose during operation, the spinning blade could damage the screen.

4. Assemble machine and make rice paste: Connect the head unit to the stainless steel chamber. Make sure the upper plug slides into the upper plug receptacle on top of the handle. Plug the provided power cord into the power plug receptacle found on the main body, and connect the other end to a wall socket. Once plugged in, the soy milk maker will beep and a red light will flash, indicating that the power is on. Choose the paste setting by pressing the "RICE PASTE" button on the head unit, and the red light will turn solid, indicating that the cycle is starting. The cycle will take approximately 15 minutes. When finished, the indicator light will blink green.
5. Pour and enjoy: Unplug the base unit. Lift the head unit from the stainless steel chamber. When removing the head unit, be careful not to touch the screen. It will be hot. Make sure that all the paste drains from the screen before moving the head unit away from the stainless steel chamber. Place the head unit with the screen still attached into the utility cup to cool. Carefully pour paste from the stainless steel chamber.

   CAUTION: Rice paste will be hot. Allow paste to cool before serving.

Making soup

Follow these instructions to make delicious soups

1. Add ingredients: add the ingredients for your soup directly in the stainless steel chamber.
2. Add water until the water level reaches the lower line inside the boiling chamber.
3. Attach the head unit, without the screen, and press the SOUP button.
4. When the cycle is complete (approx. 15 minutes), carefully remove the head, and pour soup into a bowl.
5. Stir in seasonings

Cleaning

Be sure to clean the machine thoroughly after every use. Proper cleaning will ensure that SoyFerm produces great results for years to come.

1. Unplug the unit.
2. Place head unit with screen into the utility cup to cool for about 30-45 minutes (See photo on left).

   TIP: For faster cleanup, add cold water to the utility cup to soak the screen. If you want to eat the grounds, let it cool on its own.)

3. After the contents have cooled, detach the screen from the head unit by turning the screen clockwise.
4. Unload the soybean residue and wash the screen with hot, soapy water and the provided cleaning brush. Ensure that the screen is cleaned thoroughly, making sure all holes are open, as a blocked screen can affect the consistency of the milk in future operations.

Make soy milk using Soyfern according to instructions. When soy milk has been made, add: 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cane sugar

Many flavorings can be added to your soy milk. Don't be afraid to experiment. Besides vanilla extract, try using real maple syrup instead of white sugar. Molasses, brown rice syrup, date sugar, carob powder, and malted barley syrup are some other sweeteners that can be used. A coffee measuring spoon is a good place to start for gauging the amount of powder to use.

Gourmet food stores, health food stores and many coffee emporiums sell syrups to make flavored coffees. These can also be used to flavor soy, rice, and oat milk. Hazelnut, coffee, or mocha are beginners' favorites.
