Morphy Richards BM48268 MUK Rev4 manual Introduction, Before First Use, About This Breadmaker

Introduction

The smell of homemade bread wafting around the home is one of those great smells. Bread, fresh out of the oven, with melting butter is a memorable taste sensation. The Morphy Richards automatic breadmaker can create that experience every morning.

There's very little effort on the part of the baker, because the breadmaker is a sophisticated appliance with a computer memory that does all the work for you.

It’s as simple as one-two-three.

1Put in the ingredients.

2Select programme from the menus and press start.

3Wait for your bread.

But don't stop at baking bread in this appliance.

Besides being able to do all kinds of speciality breads, including wholewheat, you can also prepare doughs for bread rolls, pizza, cake and jam. Everything is easy and tastes homemade - because it is.

Before First Use

Before first use, please take a few minutes to read this instruction book and to find a place to keep it handy for reference. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions.

1Carefully unpack the breadmaker and remove all packaging materials.

2Remove any dust that may have accumulated during packing.

3Wipe the baking pan, kneading blade and outside surface of the breadmaker with a clean, damp cloth. The bread pan is non-stick coated. Do not use scouring pads or any abrasives on any part of the breadmaker.

4For first time, use oil, butter or margarine to grease the bread pan and bake empty for about 10 minutes (select the Extrabake programme).

5Clean once more.

6Place the kneading blade on the axle in the baking pan.

During manufacturing, it is necessary to lightly grease some parts of the appliance. This may result in the unit emitting some vapour when first used, this is normal.

About This

Breadmaker

•It has two settings to make a small 680g (1.5lb) or large 907g (2lb) loaf (approximate weight - depends on recipe).

•A Fruit and Nut beep signals when extra ingredients can be added so they don’t get chopped by the kneading blade.

•The 1.5lb setting can be used to make a 1lb loaf for some of the recipes.

About the Recipies

The recipes in this booklet have been thoroughly tested to ensure best results. Recipes have been created by home economists specifically for this machine and may not produce acceptable results in other similar machines.

•Always add ingredients in the order they are listed in the recipe.

•Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do not use larger amounts.

Programme

Descriptions

1Basic white (3:00 and 2:53) For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisins.

2French (3:50 and 3:40)

For the baking of light weight bread, such as french bread which has a crisper crust and light texture.

3Wholewheat (3:40 and 3:32)

For the baking of bread containing significant amounts of wholewheat. This setting has longer preheat time to allow the grain to soak up the water and expand. It is not advised to use the delay timer as this can produce poor results. Wholewheat usually produces a crispy thick crust.

4Cake (1:40)

This setting will mix ingredients and then bake for a preset time. It is required to mix two groups of ingredients in bowls before adding to the breadmaker (see cake recipes).

5Sweet (2:55 and 2:50)

For the baking of sweet type bread which gives a crisper crust than on basic setting. The crisper crust is produced by the sugar ‘burning’.

6Fastbake I (1:10)

For preparation of a 1.5lb white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture more moist.

7Fastbake II (1:15)

For preparation of a 2lb white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture more moist.

8Dough (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 1kg (2lb) of combined ingredients.

9Jam (1:20)

Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits and marmalade from Seville oranges. Do not increase the quantity or allow the recipe to boil over the pan into the baking chamber. Should this happen, stop the machine immediately. Remove the pan carefully, allow to cool a little and clean thoroughly.

10 Speciality (2:50)

For bread types that are required in a shorter time. Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a dense texture.

11 Sandwich (3:00 and 2:55)

This is to bake light texture bread but with a softer but thicker crust.

12 Extra bake (1:00)

This setting is bake only and can be used to increase the baking time on selected settings. This is especially useful to help ‘set’ jams and marmalade. When started, the default time is 1 hour (1:00) and counts down in 1 minute intervals. You will have to manually switch this off, by pressing the stop
