how to measure ingredients (refer to illustrations 3 to 7)

It is extremely important to use the exact measure of ingredients for best results.

●Always measure liquid ingredients in the see-through measuring cup with graduated markings provided. Liquid should just reach marking on cup at eye level, not above or below (see 3).

●Always use liquids at room temperature, 20ºC/68ºF, unless making bread using the eco program. Follow the instructions given in the recipe section.

●Always use the measuring spoon provided to measure smaller quantities of dry and liquid ingredients. Use the slider to select between the following measure - 1⁄2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1⁄2 tbsp or 1 tbsp. Fill to the top and level off the spoon (see 6).

7 on/off switch

Your Kenwood bread maker is fitted with an ON/OFF switch and will not operate until switched on.

● Plug in and press the ON/OFF switch 7 situated at the back of the bread maker - the unit will beep and 1 (3:50) will appear in the display window.

● Always switch off and unplug your bread maker after use.

bt program status indicator

The program status indicator is situated in the display screen and the indicator arrow will point to the stage of the cycle the bread maker has reached as follows: -

Pre-heat – The pre-heat feature operates at the start of the Premium (14 minutes), French (20 minutes), Wholewheat (25 minutes) and Gluten Free (10 minutes) settings to warm the ingredients before the first kneading stage begins. There is no kneader action during this period.

Knead – The dough is either in the first or 2nd kneading stage or being knocked back between the rising cycles. During the last 20 minutes of the 2nd Kneading cycle on setting (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (7) an alert will sound to tell you to add any additional ingredients manually.

Rise – the dough is in either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd rising cycle.

Bake – The loaf is in the final baking cycle.

Keep Warm – The bread maker automatically goes into the Keep warm mode at the end of the baking cycle. It will stay on the keep warm mode for up to 1hour or until the machine is turned off, which ever is soonest. Please note: the heating element will

switch on and off and will glow intermittently during the keep warm cycle.
