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.

3 Measure 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.

4P ut 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. The breadmaker will

automatically be set to basic bread menu and normal time.

•Everytime you press a button you will hear a beep to confirm.

6Select program

Choose the desired setting from the list by pressing the Menu button.

7Select weight

Press Loaf size button to choose between small or large.

8Select colour

Choose desired crust colour by pressing Colour button.

9Select the delay time

If you wish the bread to be ready later, set the time delay now, as described in next section.

10 Start

Press the Start Stop button to start the machine. The remaining time will count down in one minute increments.

11 Progress

The breadmaker will automatically proceed through the programmed stages as shown in the ‘Baking cycle times’ section. If the breadmaker has a program selected that has a second kneading process, beeps sound to inform that fruits and/or nuts may be added.

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

12 Finish

When the program is completed and the bread is baked the display shows 0:00 and the beeper will sound.

13 Keep 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 program is completed. 10 beeps will be heard when the keep warm period is finished.

14 Remove the food Press Stop. Open the lid.

WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing the baking pan (taking care as it is very hot).

15Turn 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 a wooden or plastic utensil to avoid damage to the non-stick surface.

16Always 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 its 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 recomend the room temperature should be between 15ºC and 34ºC.
