Question 1

How to remove the basket from the SWEET ALICE 450gr - 900gr bread machine?

Accepted Answer

Here’s how to remove the basket from your SWEET ALICE bread machine:

Steps

Let it cool - Wait for the machine to cool completely after the baking cycle is finished
Open the lid - Lift the lid to access the inside
Use the provided hook - Use the hook included with your machine to grab the handle of the basket
Twist and lift - Gently turn the basket handle until you hear a slight click, then lift the basket upwards to remove it
Check the paddle - Ensure that the kneading paddle is not stuck inside the bread

Important recommendations

Always wear a pot holder or protective glove when removing the basket, as it remains hot even after the machine is turned off. After removal, you can clean the basket and paddle in the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water.

Question 2

What is the kneading time in the SWEET ALICE 450gr - 900gr bread machine?

Accepted Answer

The kneading time in the SWEET ALICE 450gr-900gr bread machine varies depending on the selected program. This phase occurs at the beginning of the bread-making cycle and generally lasts 20 to 30 minutes for the main programs (classic white bread, wholemeal bread, sweet bread).

Each program of the machine has a different total duration:

Standard bread programs (white, French, sweet, wholemeal, sandwich): kneading takes place in the first phase, followed by rising(s) and baking
Traditional dough program (No. 7): kneading without baking or yeast
Leavened dough program (No. 10): kneading and rising without baking
Quick bread program (No. 11): accelerated cycle with reduced kneading

The exact duration of kneading also depends on the chosen bread size (450g, 680g, or 900g) and the composition of the ingredients. During kneading, a sound signal rings 10 times if you need to add dried fruits, indicating the end of this phase.

The machine's digital display continuously shows the remaining time of the current program, allowing you to track the progress of kneading and other phases. You can adjust the total duration of the program before starting it using the Time+ and Time- buttons if you wish to delay the bread-making process.

Question 3

What is the cooking time for the different programs on the SWEET ALICE 450gr - 900gr bread machine?

Accepted Answer

The SWEET ALICE 450gr - 900gr bread machine has 12 different programs, each with its own cycle duration that varies depending on the type of bread or recipe being prepared. The total times include all stages: kneading, rising, and baking.

Approximate durations by program:

1. Classic white bread: 3 to 3 h 30
2. French bread: 3 h 30 to 4 hours
3. Sweet bread: 3 to 3 h 30
4. Cakes: 2 h 30 to 3 hours
5. Wholemeal bread: 3 h 30 to 4 hours
6. Sandwich: 3 to 3 h 30
7. Traditional dough: about 1 hour (kneading only, no baking)
8. Jams and compotes: about 45 minutes to 1 hour
9. Yogurt bread: 3 h 30 to 4 hours
10. Leavened dough: 1 h 30 to 2 hours (pizza dough, bread dough, no baking)
11. Quick bread: 1 h 30 to 2 hours
12. Baking only: duration to be defined according to your needs

These durations are approximate and may vary depending on several factors: the selected amount of bread (450g, 680g, or 900g), ambient temperature, the ingredients used, their freshness, and their moisture content. Breads with denser ingredients (wholemeal bread, French bread) generally require a bit more time than classic breads.

You can adjust the duration of each program using the Time+ and Time- buttons on the control panel. Each press increases or decreases the duration by one hour. This is particularly useful if you want to use the 13-hour programmable timer to delay the bread making (the total duration displayed then corresponds to the program duration + the programmed start delay).

Once the baking is complete, the device emits a sound signal and automatically switches to keep warm mode for 1 hour, allowing the bread to stay warm until your return without the risk of burning.
