Easy to follow steps to baking with the Quantum SmartBake.
The following instructions are designed to guide beginners through the baking process step by step. These instructions are specifically for the Bread, Dough or Pasta recipes from the recipe section of this booklet.
All recipes listed in this booklet use local ingredients and Australian Standard Metric Measuring tools (spoons, cups and measuring scales).
We advise that all ingredients should be weighed for accuracy.
Step 1. Add ingredients.
Simply add ingredients to the baking pan. Ingredients should be added in the following order:
1.Liquid Ingredients
2.Dry Ingredients
3.Yeast
Tip: For a good result it is important that the ingredients are added in the correct order and are weighed for accuracy.
Step 2. Select menu setting
Press the MENU button to make your desired selection. As you press the MENU button you move through each of the recipes from (1) to (12) and as you scroll through the recipes the number is displayed on the LCD window.
Step 3. Select crust colour
Press the CRUST button to select your choice of crust colour. You are able to choose from the Light, Medium or Dark crust colours on selected settings (refer to the chart on page 74).
Unless you select a crust colour the Quantum SmartBake will automatically default to a Medium crust colour.
Step 4. Select loaf size
Press the SIZE button to select the desired loaf size - 750g, 1.0kg or 1.25kg (1.5kg).
Unless you select a size the Quantum SmartBake will automatically default to a 1.0kg loaf size.
Step 5. Press start.
Note: If nothing has been selected the Quantum SmartBake will default to a 1.0kg loaf with a Medium crust colour setting on Menu 1.
Press the START button to commence selected setting. The LCD window will display the hours and minutes until the cycle is complete.
Step 6. Hot fresh crusty bread
At the end of the baking cycle the machine will beep and the display will read “0.00”. The Quantum SmartBake will automatically switch to a Keep Warm cycle for 60 minutes. Warm air will circulate throughout the baking camber, to help reduce condensation.
A red light, in which is located on the control panel (to the right of the LCD window), will flash for approximately
Allow the bread to cool in the bread pan for 10 minutes before removing. Then with the oven mitts tap the sides and base of the baking pan and turn upside down and gently shake until the bread slides out. If necessary, use a plastic spatula to loosen bread from the side of the pan.
Place the bread on a wire rack and allow the bread to cool. We recommend that sufficient cooling time is approximately 15 minutes to ensure optimum bread texture and this also makes slicing easier.
After using your Quantum SmartBake
Unplug the machine and allow it to cool for 30 minutes before commencing another program.
If you attempt to use the Quantum SmartBake too soon, it may beep and the display will read ‘E:01’, indicating the Quantum SmartBake has not cooled sufficiently. Wait until the Quantum SmartBake has cooled and then press START.
