Electrical Requirements

Ensure the voltage of your electrical wall outlet corresponds to the voltage listed on the appliance.

Grounded Plug

As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a 3-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

Power Supply Cord

The power supply cord should only be plugged into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on an electrical circuit separate from other appliances.

• To connect power: Attach the power cord plug to the appliance first, and then plug the cord into the wall outlet.
• To disconnect power: Turn the control to the Off position, and then grasp the power cord by the plug to remove it from the wall outlet.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Location Requirements

• Use milk maker only at altitudes less than 4921 ft (1500 m). Use at altitudes greater than 4921 ft (1500 m) may result in raw soymilk, overflow and paste.

• To avoid the risk of the contents overflowing the milk maker, the overflow sensor reduces power to the milk maker when it senses the temperature of the contents is becoming overheated.

CAUTION

During heating, there will be some hot spatters coming from the milk maker.

CAUTION

• Homemade nut milk should last about a week, if refrigerated. The Midea NRG milk maker heats the water during processing, which pasteurizes the milk.
• Do not use the milk maker to reheat cold nut milk, reheat cold paste or boil water.

Processing Functions

Processing times vary depending on the processing function selected. Thicker milks and oatmeal require a longer processing time, and some functions both stir and heat.

Making Nut, Rice or Grain Milk

Your milk maker uses dried bean pulping technology, so soy beans do not REQUIRE pre-soaking before processing. However, soaking the soybeans (legumes), nuts, rice or grain before processing will result in a greater milk yield.

WARNING - Food Poisoning

• Soybean milk must be boiled before drinking.
• If kept at room temperature, fresh soybean milk should be drunk within 6 hours. Failure to do so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

NOTE: Before first use, remove the pulp container from the milk chamber, and then clean all the parts that come into direct contact with food.

1. Clean and prepare food for processing.
2. Measure the prepared food and add it to the milk chamber.

NOTE: Use the 4 oz. measuring cup (provided) to precisely measure ingredients. For optimum results, use only the ingredients in the amounts specified in your recipe.

1. Fill the milk chamber with room-temperature tap water until the water level is between the minimum and maximum water-level lines.

NOTES:

• Use room-temperature tap water. Using distilled or purified water, or hot water will result in over-boiling causing a burnt taste.
• You can control the consistency of the nut, rice or grain milk by adding a little more or less water as long as the water level falls between the minimum and the maximum water level marks.

• Using too much or too little water will adversely affect the milk making process.

• Plug the processor into the milk chamber. Make sure the plug on the processor is fully inserted into the plug receptacle on top of the milk chamber handle to complete the electrical connection.

NOTE: If you unintentionally select the wrong function, press and hold START/CANCEL for 3 seconds to cancel the function, and then press MENU to reselect.

1. The milk maker will process according to the function selected. The function light will flash and a tone will sound to indicate processing is complete.

NOTE: During the warming phase of the process, it is normal for the processor to stir intermittently.

WARNING -Burn

• Allow time for the hot milk to drain from the processor and into the milk chamber.
• Carefully remove the processor from the milk chamber so that hot milk does not contact skin.

Failure to do so can result in burns.

1. Unplug the power supply cord from the wall outlet. Wait 30 seconds for the processor to drain before lifting the processor from the milk chamber.

CAUTION

The milk will be hot.

1. Holding the filter or the fine-mesh bag over the container, pour the processed milk through the filter or bag into a container.

NOTES:

• The filter or milk bag acts as a strainer to separate the liquid from the solids.

• Use the blender to stir and press the liquid from the pulp.

• Flavor the milk, if desired. Add a pinch of sea salt, brown sugar, vanilla, or any other favorite flavors.

• Allow milk to cool before serving.

CAUTION

Soybean milk must be boiled before drinking. If kept at room temperature, fresh soybean milk should be drunk within 6 hours.

Making Tofu

1. Wash and prepare the amount of soybeans specified in your Tofu recipe.
2. Using the 4 oz measuring cup (provided), measure the soybeans and place them into the milk chamber.

3. Add room-temperature water to the maximum fill line.

4. Plug the processor into the milk chamber. Connect the power cord to the milk chamber receptacle, and then plug into the wall outlet.

5. Press MENU to select TOFU from among the processing functions, and then press START/CANCEL to begin processing.
6. While the soybeans are processing, add gypsum powder to a container (larger than 2 L). To the gypsum powder, add 5 oz to 7 oz (15 g to 20 g) room-temperature water. Shake well to mix.

NOTE: This step must be completed before removing the soybean milk.

1. Once the soybean milk is processed, strain the processed milk through the filter into the pulp container to separate the milk from the pulp. Use the blender to stir and press the milk from the pulp.

NOTE: If desired, you may add sugar or flavoring to the soybean milk at this point.

1. Quickly pour the HOT, filtered soybean milk into the gypsum powder solution. The soybean milk must be hot when it is added to the gypsum solution to produce the correct tofu pudding consistency.

NOTE: Pour the soybean milk into the gypsum solution. DO NOT pour the gypsum solution into the soybean milk.

1. Let the mixture stand for approximately 10 minutes. Once the tofu pudding has solidified, the tofu is ready to eat or mold.

Molding Tofu

1. With the Midea logo facing upward, insert a disc into the tofu mold cylinder to create the bottom of the tofu mold.

Disc

Tofu Mold

1. Place the tofu mold onto a rimmed receptacle such as a cake pan or cookie sheet to capture the liquid being pressed out of the tofu pudding.
2. Place the fine-mesh bag (provided) inside the tofu mold to act as a liner.
3. Spoon the solidified tofu pudding into the nut milk bag.

4. Turn the other disc so that the Midea logo is facing downward and gently press the disc into the tofu pudding.

5. Fill the pulp container with water and place it on top of the disc to compress the tofu pudding. The hot liquid in the tofu pudding will flow out through the spaces in the mold.
