Using your Bakehouse®

Before using your Bakehouse for the first time

remove the bread pan by gently pulling it out. Wipe over the bread pan and kneading blade with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Do not immerse the bread pan in water unless necessary. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners as they may damage the non-stick surface. Do not place any parts of your bread maker in the dishwasher. Select a recipe from the recipe section and prepare the ingredients as directed. (see Important Measuring Tips on page 16).

Step 1 – Insert kneading blade

Place the kneading blade in the bread pan, ensuring the blade is in the upright position.

Step 2 - Add ingredients

Simply add ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed before inserting the bread pan into the bread maker.

All ingredients should be at room temperature and measured carefully. Wipe all spills from the outside of the pan.

Note: Ensure the blade remains in the upright position after the ingredients have been added.

Step 3 - Insert the bread pan

Align the pan and gently insert straight down into the baking chamber of the bread machine. Do not twist. Press down on the rim of the bread pan until you hear a click sound to ensure it is set firmly in place. Lay the handle flat toward the side of the bread pan. Close the lid securely, plug the machine into

a230-240 volt AC power outlet and turn the power on.

Step 4 – Add Fruit and Nuts if required

If your recipe includes extra ingredients such as fruit or nuts, add these to the automatic fruit and nut dispenser. Your Bakehouse will add the fruit and nuts automatically during the bread making process.
