SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 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 rst 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 hea-ting, antioverowing, overheating protection, etc.) to ensure a safe and reliable use. 6. Alarm and light indicate the power connection, process nish and trouble appearance. Function keys Milk / Off : This program to make soy milk takes about 30 minutes.

BASIC VANILLA Soy milk Make soy milk using Soyferm according to instructions. When soy milk has been made, add: 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons cane sugar Many avorings 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 pow- der, 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 avored coffees. These can also be used to avor soy, rice, and oat milk. Hazelnut, coffee, or mocha are beginners’ favorites.
