INGREDIENTS USED FOR BAKING :

DRY YEAST	This is what causes the bread to rise and the most important ingredient in bread baking. The yeast for the bread maker dose not need preliminary fermentation.When combined with sugar and water at the right temperature, the yeast generates carbon dioxide and makes the dough rise.Fresh yeast is recommended.Once a package is opened, store it in the refrigerator to keep it active longer.
FLOUR	Bread flour is highly desirable because of its high protein content.(For some types of bread, all-purpose flour may also be added).When flour is kneaded with water, gluten is formed for dough to rise better.
SALT	Controls the action of the yeast, helps produce a firm dough, and prevents over-rising.
SUGAR	Enhances the action of the yeast and flavor, makes the crust brown, and the bread soft.
BUTTER	Adds flavor, and makes the bread softer and glossier.
DRY MILK	Powdered milk enhances the gloss and flavor, and makes the bread richer and softer.
WATER	Water is a key ingredient.It is added to flour to form the gluten and puts life into your bread.Water is a major factor in the success of your bread baking.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Compounding Ratio between Bread Flour and Water (or Milk)

The compounding ratio between bread flour and water (or milk) shall be kept at the volume of the instruction manual or the cook book.

In the case of putting an excessive volume of the bread flour into the bread pan compared with the volume of water (or milk), it will make some changes in the quality of the homemade bread, or it may cause malfunction due to the locking of the mixing blade.

Ingredients for Bread

The raisins, walnuts, vegetables, and other additional ingredients for bread shall be added at 4 (four) minutes before the kneading process is finished, it beeps 3 (three) times to tell you to add these ingredients.

Remove the seeds, shells and other hard foreign objects from the ingredients.

In the case of putting the hard foreign objects, such as candy sugar, crystal sugar, frozen butter, ice and other solid ingredients into the bread pan, the fluorocarbon resin coating will be scratched.

Accurate measurements are essential to making delicious bread.

For better results, use a scale which can calibrate grams or ounces rather than a measuring cup.

(Use a scale for cooking)

When using the spoon included, measure an even spoonful of ingredients. Do not pack the ingredients into the spoon.

An even spoonful of ingredients.

3 To ensure tasty bread:

When eating: Enjoy it toasted or freshly sliced. Refer to cook book included to enjoy variety of home baking recipes.
When eating later: Wrap the bread in a plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.

When storing

After cooling the bread completely, wrap in foil or a plastic bag.

For 2 or 3 days' storage, wrap well and store homemade bread in a refrigerator.

For longer storage, wrap well and store it in a freezer.

METHOD OF DETACHING THE MIXING BLADE

● The mixing blade may become hard to detach from the shaft as it sticks.
- Immediately after removing the baked bread, pour water or tepid water into the bread pan. Leave it for 30 minutes to loosen, then detach the mixing blade.

(If you leave the mixing blade in the bread pan, it becomes harder to detach.)

- If the mixing blade can not be detached, pour hot water in the bread pan and leave it for more than 30 minutes to loosen and detach the mixing blade.

CAUTION!

- Avoid using any cleaning agent other than tableware detergent, such as benzine, thinner, polishing powder and scrubbing brush, for they are harmful to the surface finish.

Do not immerse this bottom in water. Wipe with well wrung dishcloth.

MAIN BODY, LID

- Wipe with well wrung dishcloth. Do not immerse in water or splash water, as they may become the cause of malfunction or electric shock.

- You can remove the lid by opening it up to 45 degrees of angle and pull it upward.

• Be sure that the oven area is always kept clean.
• Do not use the bread maker without rubber packing inside the inner case.

• If you remove the rubber packing, it will cause noise. Wash the rubber packing with soft material like sponge and let it dry.
  ● After using, unplug and gently wipe out crumbs or dust in the oven area with well wrung dishcloth.

Coupling: clean soiling with a tissue paper.

BREAD PAN

- Wash the shaft with soft material like sponge, to prevent damage to the seal packing and let it dry.

MIXING BLADE TREATED WITH FLUOROCARBON

- Wash with a soft material like sponge, and let it dry.

If the aperture in the mixing blade is blocked, the blade should be immersed in water for a short time and then cleaned with a toothbrush or the like.

● After immersing it in water for a while, clean it by using a soft toothbrush.

BREAD PAN AND MIXING BLADE

IN ORDER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FLUOROCARBON RESIN COATING

• Metallic scoop, knife or fork, etc., should not be used.
• Be sure to keep clean after each use. After continued use, some slight amount of discoloration may take place due to the action from the moisture and steam. This will not make any

changes in ease of use or in the quality of the baked bread.

STORING THE BREAD MAKER

Be sure that the body has cooled completely before storing.

Cartoon illustration of a smiling refrigerator with arms and legs, no text or symbols present

Be sure to close the lid.

Do not place a heavy object on the lid. This may damage the seal.

Be sure that all moisture inside the unit has dried completely.

Q1 Why the height and shape of bread differ in each use?

Cartoon illustration of two anthropomorphic bread slices with expressive faces (no text or symbols)

A1 The height and shape of bread differ depending on the room temperature and resting time (when using timer).

Also accurate measurement of ingredients is essential to make delicious bread.

Q2 Why the bread didn't rise?

Cartoon illustration of a sad, anthropomorphic bread character with frowning expression (no text or symbols)

A2 If you forget to add the yeast or to install the mixing blade, the bread does not rise.

Also, if the yeast is not enough or is stale, a small loaf may result.

A small loaf may result according to type, amount and freshness of yeast.

Q3 The bread has an offensive odor, why?

A3 Because stale ingredients may have been used, or the yeast may have been added too much.

The BREAD RAPID setting requires the use of a larger amount of yeast, and this can lead to the development of a strong smell.

We recommend using fresh ingredients.

Accurate measurement of ingredients is essential to make delicious bread.

Q4 The structure of the bread is coarse, why?

Cartoon illustration of a smiling slice of bread with eyes and nose, pointing to the side (no text or symbols)

A4 The bread is cottage loaf shaped, not long like most commercial loaves. The shape of the bread pan means that it has to rise and be baked vertically, and this gives it a different structure from commercially baked bread.

Q5 Why there is a big hole in the center of the loaf?

Cartoon illustration of a confused loaf with question marks above it (no text or symbols)

A5 During kneading air has collected in this spot and has not been expelled during gas squeeze-out process. The bread was baked with this air bubble inside.

Q6 The mixing blade comes out with the bread.

Cartoon illustration of a character inside a cylindrical container with a lamp and a small object on its head (no text or symbols)

A6 It is not abnormal as the mixing blade is detachable.

Use a non-metallic skewer, chopsticks or tongs to remove it.

Caution: The mixing blade will be hot.

TIMER

Q7 The timer can be set only for 4 hours and 20 minutes up to 13 hours.

A7 Bread making takes a minimum of 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Any ingredient may be spoiled, if the timer setting exceeds 13 hours.

Q8 Why raisins are not added with all the other ingredients?

A8 The purpose is to keep the shape of the raisins without smashing, and dough that contains raisin in one clamp may not rise sufficiently.

Add them in the middle of kneading process at the 5 beeping sounds.

(Refer to how to make raisin bread on page 13.)

Q9 The timer can not be used for MIX BREAD setting, why?

A9 Because you have to open the lid and add raisins in the middle of kneading process.

Egg is not recommended when using the timer, because it may spoil while sitting in the bread pan.

Q10 The timer can not be used for DOUGH setting why?

A10 Because dough may spoil while sitting in the bread pan.

INGREDIENTS

Q11

Can 12 or double ingredients of prescribed amount be used?

Simple line drawing of a box with a cat inside, showing a curled-up and a wavy line (no text or symbols)

A11

Home bakery sizes are: Small (7oz/200g of loaf bread), medium (14oz/395g of loaf bread) and large loaves (1.3lb/590g of loaf bread).

If it is too little, the mixing blade may come off.

If it is too much, bread swells out from the bread pan.

Q12

Can fresh milk be used in place of dry milk?

A12

Yes. Be sure to deduct the same amount from the water measure.

Fresh milk is not recommended when using the timer, because it may spoil while sitting in the bread pan.

OTHERS

Q13

The bread maker makes a noise at night when using the timer, why?

Simple line drawing of a washing machine with a window and curtains, no text or symbols present.

A13

Because the bread maker starts kneading at night to make fresh bread the next morning.

It is the noise of the mixing motor and ventilator.

Q14

The bread maker was unplugged during operation by accident.

Cartoon illustration of a washing machine with a sad face and connected to a wall-mounted power outlet (no text or symbols)

A14

If the interruption in the power supply is momentary within 10 minutes, (according to lower room temperature, it becomes shorter), the operation will not be affected. Plug in again, and the operation will continue.

Do not press the OFF button during operation, because it cancels all operations and shuts off all power; and then pressing the START button starts with the first kneading process.

This is why it is advisable to use the LOCK function after starting.

Q15 What will happen if the bread is not removed from the bread pan after baking?

A15 The bread will be cooled down and moisture taken out during the last process, and the ventilator will run for additional 30 minutes to keep the bread from getting soggy.

For best results, then carefully remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

Q16 The finish is sometimes light and sometimes dark, why?

A16 Use the BREAD COLOR button to choose the crust color you prefer, LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK.

You can choose your setting even after the START button has been pushed, but it must be before the BAKE light goes on. If you have activated the LOCK function, you must cancel this first to change your choice of color.

Q17 What should I do if the bread rises up to the lid and the viewing window?

Cartoon illustration of a steamed bread with a surprised face and steam lines (no text or symbols)

A17 Use less dry yeast and/or sugar.

Q18 Why can't I bake fruit bread on the BREAD RAPID setting?

A18 The rising time is decreased in the BREAD RAPID setting. This means that the baking time is strongly influenced by the amount of ingredients and type of bread desired, and fruit bread doesn't apply to this setting.
