Key risks

• Contact with hot surfaces and jars at the end of the cycle, with a possible risk of minor burns.
• Spills or splashes of warm/hot milk during filling, which may cause slips or burns.
• Risk of electric shock if the base, cable or plug comes into contact with water or wet hands.
• Breakage of glass jars with a risk of cuts.
• Food contamination due to inadequate hygiene of containers or delayed refrigeration of the yoghurt.
• The appliance or jars may fall if placed near the edge or on unstable surfaces.
• Overheating due to covering the yoghurt maker or blocking its ventilation during use.
• Allergic reactions due to residues of other foods in reused jars.

Safe use

• Place the yoghurt maker on a flat, dry, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge and from sources of water.
• Use compatible containers in good condition; avoid cracked jars and deformed lids.
• Keep hands and the work surface dry before plugging in; avoid taut or trailing leads across walkways.
• Do not overfill the jars; leave a small gap to prevent overflow.
• Do not move the appliance while in operation and avoid covering it with cloths or other objects.
• When finished, unplug, allow to cool for a few minutes, and handle the jars with a dry cloth.
• Take extra care with hygiene: thoroughly clean jars, lids and utensils before each use, and use fresh ingredients.
• If heating the milk separately, allow it to cool to lukewarm before pouring to avoid burns and thermal shock to the glass.
• Refrigerate the finished yoghurt as soon as possible and consume it within a reasonable time.

Storage and maintenance

• Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning or moving the yoghurt maker.
• Do not immerse the base or expose it to running water; clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry afterwards.
• Wash jars and lids after each use with hot water and detergent; rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.
• Avoid abrasive scouring pads and harsh products on food-contact surfaces.
• Frequently check the cable, plug, base, jars and lids; replace parts that are damaged, cracked or have persistent odours.
• Store the appliance and jars in a clean, dry, ventilated place, protected from impacts and sudden temperature changes.
• Keep the cable free from kinks and strain; do not wind it excessively tightly.
• If you are not going to use it for a while, clean the jars and store them completely dry.

Usage restrictions

• For indoor domestic use; do not use outdoors or in damp areas such as near sinks or in bathrooms.
• Keep out of reach of children; use must be under adult supervision.
• Do not use with extension leads or overloaded multi-socket adaptors; plug into a socket in good condition.
• Do not operate the yoghurt maker empty or with empty containers.
• Do not cover the appliance or place it inside closed cupboards during operation.
• Do not use containers that are not food-safe or accessories not designed for this model.
• Do not use if there is visible damage to the cable, plug, base, jars or lids, or if unusual smells or noises are noticed.
• People with reduced mobility, thermal sensitivity or limited experience should only use it under supervision.
