Problems
Kefir is too runny.
A viscous liquid (called serum)
has formed on the kefir's surface
at the end of fermentation.
What to do if your appliance doesn't work:
• Start by checking the power cord and plug.
• You have carefully followed all these instructions, and yet your appliance still does not work ?
Contact your dealer or an approved Tefal Centre.

Causes
The yogurt maker was moved,
bumped or vibrated during
fermentation.
The ferment is no longer active.
The yogurt maker was opened
during its fermentation cycle.
Fermentation time too
short.
The jug has not been properly
cleaned/rinsed.
Fruit added to the kefir.
Too much fermentation.
Solutions
Do not move the yogurt maker
while it is working (do not place it
on a refrigerator).
Change ferment or brand of kefir.
Check the use-by-date of your
ferment or your kefir.
Do not remove the jug or open
the yogurt maker before the
programme is finished.
Keep the yogurt maker out of
draughts while it is operating.
Start a second cycle at the end of
the first.
Before pouring your preparation
into the jug, check that there are
no traces of washing-up liquid,
household cleaner or dirt on the
inside of the jug.
Try cooking fruits, or preferably
use commercial stewed fruits or
jams (at room temperature).
Raw fruits will release acidic
substances which prevent the
kefir from forming correctly.
Reduce the fermentation time
and/or add some powdered milk.
