| My daughter who is a missionary in East Africa purchased a SafGuard Pasteurizer. Unfortunately, there weren't any instructions on how to use the pasteurizer, and she is needing to know how to use it, of course. Anyone out there know where I can get information for her? I've searched the web and haven't come up w/ anything. Thanks so much !! -Julie |

| Many of the diary goat breeders use this pasteurizer and I am sure they would be happy to make a copy for you. I don't pasteurize my milk. You are welcome to email me and I will be happy to give you some contacts. |
RE: using a pasteurizer

| I have a Safeguard pasteurizer. It is very easy to use. Just strain the fresh milk into the inner bucket and put the lid on the bucket. Make sure the gasket is on the inner bucket. Place the bucket on the brackets of the outer bucket and put the clamp over the lid of the inner bucket making sure that the round ball on the clamp fits over the hole in the middle of the lid and that both ears of the clamp go under the brackets of the outer bucket. Place the lid on the outer bucket, plug the outlet hole and fill the outer bucket with hot water. Plug into electric outlet and wait until the buzzer sounds. This is the signal that the milk has reached the right temperature. There is a small hose that comes with the pasteurizer. It is designed to fit over a kitchen fawcett. Place one end on the fawcett and push the free end as far down as possible between the two buckets. Take the plug out of the drainage hole and turn on the fawcett to cold water. Let the water run until the water from the drainage hole is cool. Plug the hole and let set for a while. Repeat the draining and cold water until the milk is lukewarm. Drain out as much water as possible. Dry off the lid of the inner bucket and release the clamp. I always pour my milk into gallons glass jars, but the milk may be stored int the bucket. Hope this helps. |
