Sakura Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.5.7 YOGHURT
For making home-made yoghurt. The ‘YOGHURT’ setting maintains the constant temperature (+38 - +40°
С
) required
for bifidus bacteria growth and excellent development of yoghurt out of yoghurt culture and milk.
The default cooking time for the ‘YOGHURT’ setting is 8 hours. You can adjust this down to 6 hours or up to 12 hours
using the ‘Hr’ or ‘Min’ buttons once you have selected the ‘YOGHURT’ setting and it is blinking on the display. You
can use yoghurt jars or similar containers for this setting or just make the yoghurt in the inner bowl.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, the appliance will make a sound and will automatically switch to stand-by. For
further information on making yoghurt, see section 7.2, page 17.
NOTES -
on the ‘YOGHURT’ setting it does not switch to ‘KEEP WARM’. Keep the lid closed while cooking in this
programme. The delayed start function is available for this programme.
3.6 CANCELLING PROGRAMMES
To cancel a programme you have selected or, if you want to stop a programme part way through the cooking cycle,
you just need to press and hold the ‘CANCEL’ button for 2 seconds. The appliance will then switch to standby mode
and the display will flash.
3.7 HOW TO USE THE DELAYED START (PRESET) FUNCTION
The ‘PRESET’ function is a useful timer/delayed start feature; this allows you to set the appliance to have your rice or
food ready at a specific time.
To set the timer:
1.
Press the ‘MENU’ touch button to select a cooking programme (for non-rice cooking programmes you can
programme the length of cooking time at this point).
2.
Then press the ‘PRESET’ button which will then light up.
3.
By pressing the ‘Hr’ and ‘Min’ touch buttons you can select the hours in advance when the rice/dish should
be ready.
4.
Press and hold the ‘START’ touch button, the cooker will display the hours/minutes in advance you selected,
start to count down and the cooking cycle will complete at the time you specified.
If the preset/timer is set to below the minimum stated in the below table, the cooking cycle will start immediately.
This is because the default cooking time for each cooking cycle has to be taken into account along with additional
assessment time for the fuzzy logic to know what it is cooking.

Note
– be aware that perishable foods should not be left for long periods of time when you have set the ‘PRESET’
function as they may spoil.
The start time of the preset/timer is not exact, it will come on slightly earlier as Sakura has to
assess what exactly is in the inner bowl (rice/oats/water) and volume so it can calculate the
cooking time effectively. It deals with this by turning the unit on early so it can ‘assess’ the
contents.
