4Dough (1:30)

This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the final bread. Remove the dough and shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not exceed 500g (1lb) of combined ingredients.

5Bake (0:30)

This setting is only used after programs 1,2 or 3 if you require a longer bake time. Do not use after the dough setting.

Using Your

Breadmaker

1Take out the pan

Open the lid and remove the pan by lifting the handle, turning anti- clockwise and lifting out. Place on the work surface. It is important that the pan is filled with ingredients outside the machine so that any accidental spillage is not ignited by the heating elements.

2Attach the blade

Attach the kneading blade to the shaft by pushing on.

3Measure ingredients

Measure the ingredients required and add them all into the pan in the order listed. See later section (‘Measuring your ingredients’).

•When adding the yeast to the baking pan, take care that the yeast does not come into contact with the water or any other liquid, as it will start to activate immediately.

•Use tepid water 21-28oC.

4Put pan back in

Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker, turning clockwise to lock into place. Close the lid.

5Plug in

Plug into the power supply.

6Select programme

Choose the desired setting by pressing the Menu button › until

the setting you require is highlighted by the indicator light.

7Start

Press the Start Stop button fi to start the machine.

8Progress

The breadmaker will automatically proceed through the programmed stages.

•Fruits and nuts can be added to the mix for certain recipes, these should be added when the add ingredients beep is heard. See recipes for times.

•It is possible that steam will escape through the vents during baking, this is normal.

9Finish

When the programme is completed and the bread is baked, the beeper will sound.

10Keep warm

The keep warm function will circulate hot air for a further 60 minutes on most settings (see ‘Baking cycle times’ section). For best results, remove the baking pan and loaf within this period or when the initial programme is completed. A beep will be heard when the keep warm period is finished.

11Remove the food

Press Stop. Open the lid.

WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing the baking pan and take care as it is very hot.

12Turn out the bread

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn the pan upside down and tap the bread from the pan onto a rack to cool. Fill the pan with warm water immediately to prevent the blade from sticking to the shaft.

•Occasionally the kneading blade will stay in the loaf. Wait until the loaf is cool and then remove the blade with the metal utensil provided.

13Always unplug the appliance after use.

•Do not open the lid whilst the breadmaker is operating as this will affect the quality of the bread, especially it’s ability to rise properly. Only open the lid when the recipe needs you to add additional ingredients, (see recipes).

Room temperature note

The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of temperatures, but there could be a difference in loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room. We recommend the room temperature should be between 15oC and 34oC.

Beeper

The beeper sounds:

•when pressing any button;

•during the second kneading cycle of certain programmes to indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or other ingredients can be added;

37 minutes for the basic setting.

44 minutes for the wholewheat setting.

•when the programme finishes;

•when keep warm finishes.

Slicing and storing bread

For best results, place bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing.

Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated blade for even slices.

Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to three days. If weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator overnight.

For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer.

If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially made bread.

Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into 1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or stuffing.

Care and cleaning

1WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, unplug the unit before cleaning.

2Wait until the breadmaker has cooled.

•IMPORTANT: Do not immerse or splash either the body or lid in any liquid as this may cause damage and/or electric shock.
