Program descriptions

BM48268SMEE-SSBreadmaker 27/3/07 09:43 Page 8

1Basic white (3:00 and 2:53)

For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisin.

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.

10Speciality (2:50)

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

11Sandwich (3:00 and 2:55)

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

12Extra bake (0:10)

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 10 mins (0:10) minimum and counts down in 1 minute intervals. You will have to manually switch this off by pressing the stop button, when you have completed the extrabake process. It is advised that you check the condition of the bread or jam after 10

minutes and at 10 minute intervals.

Pressing ▲ increases the time in increments of 10 minutes up to a maximum 1 hour.

Do not use the extrabake programme for more than 1 hour, over heating of the product may occur.

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. Ensure the blade is in the upright position before adding ingredients shown on page 9.

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. 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.

10Start

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

11Progress

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.

12Finish

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

13Keep 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.

14Remove the food Press Stop. Open the lid.

WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing the baking pan and take 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.

16 Always 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.
