USE - BEFORE USE FOR THE FIRST TIME

We recommended that you read these instructions carefully before you use your breadmaker for the first time. In particular, please give attention to the following instructions.

1. Carefully take your new breadmaker out of the packaging, and remove all packaging materials.
2. Remove any dust from the appliance that may have been trapped in the packaging.
3. Clean your breadmaker with a damp cloth. Bear in mind that the baking tin is finished with a non-stick coating. Consequently do not clean the tin with scouring agents.
4. Grease the baking tin with oil or margarine before you use it for the first time.
5. Fit the baking tin to the appliance. Do not fit the dough hook, and do not add any ingredients. Allow the appliance to operate for between 3 and 5 minutes (use baking program "bake", see the notes to program "bake")
6. Allow the appliance to cool down, and repeat the procedure.
7. Fit the baking tin you wish to use.
8. Lightly grease the shaft with a little baking butter or oil, and fit the dough hook to the drive shaft.

It was necessary to lubricate the components of this appliance during its manufacture, and for this reason the breadmaker may release traces of smoke when used for the first time. However, this is absolutely normal.

USE - General

The appliance is intended only for domestic use, not for professional use. You can use this breadmaker to bake loaves with a maximum of about 900g (the weights are approximate, and depend on the recipe).

USE -Programs

1. Base (White or brown bread) (2:55)

For white and brown bread. Also for bread containing herbs and raisins.

2. French bread (3:40)

For light and crusty bread such as, for example, French bread. This bread needs to rise for a longer period of time, and consequently the preparation time is longer than for other programs.

3. Sweet bread (2:55)

For sweet breads with a crisper crust. The crispy crust is obtained by heating the dough containing sugar to a higher temperature.

4. Cake (1:40)

Suitable for cakes where baking powder is used instead of yeast.

5. Wholemeal bread (3:32)

For wholemeal bread containing a high proportion of wholemeal flour. This program uses a longer preheating time. This offers extra time for the dough to absorb water, and for the dough to rise.

The kneader blade is stationary during this 15-minute resting time. The use of a delayed start is not recommended when baking wholemeal bread; this can yield a poorer result.

6. Sandwich (3:00)

Suitable for baking sandwich bread. The bread has a light structure and a thin crust.

7. Kneading (0:10)

This program is used just for kneading.

8. Jam, marmelade (1:20)

Suitable for preparing jam, marmalade. During preparation, make sure the baking-tin is only two thirds full of all the ingredients (approx. 1000g), since the mixture may tend to foam up.

9. Yogurt (3:25)

For example, greek yoghurt bread

10. Dough (1:30)

Used to knead various types of dough. The dough is not baked. Remove the dough from the appliance, and use it to form the pizza dough or rolls. Prepare portions of dough of a maximum of 900g.

11. Quick baking programme (1:30)

For baking loaves of bread in a short period of time. Bread baked using this program can be moister and have a denser structure. The temperature of the water should be between 35 and 45^

12. Baking (60min)

This setting can be used either to heat the baking tin or to extend the baking time; this can be of use when preparing products such as jams. This program enables you to extend the baking time for a minimum of 10 minutes (0:10). The time shown in the display decreases in 1-minute increments. Press the Stop button if you wish to stop the baking process. The baking time can be extended in 10-minute increments, to a maximum of 1 hour. To do so, press the button and then press the Start button.

USE - Using the breadmaker

Measuring the precise amount of each ingredient is of great importance! A good product can be obtained only by using the indicated quantities and weights, and consequently you should use the measuring cup and spoon supplied with your breadmaker.
Make sure you add the correct quantity of yeast! If the dough in the appliance rises excessively and collapses immediately – or fails to rise – then the likely cause is the amount of yeast. Try a new bread baking with the right amount of yeast.

USE - Making a bread

1. Open the lid, and turn the baking pan to the left till it unlocks. Now you can remove the baking pan by lifting it up by the handle.
   Always wear oven gloves when opening the lid and when touching the baking tins.
   Always remove the baking tin from the breadmaker before filling the tin; this will avoid ingredients falling into the motor, or into the appliance.

1. Fitting the dough hook is very simple; just slide it onto the drive shaft. Lightly grease the shaft with baking butter; it will be easier to remove the hook later on.
2. Measure the amounts of the ingredients given in the recipe accurately, and pour into the baking tin in the correct sequence:
3. Pour the water or milk into the baking tin; use lukewarm water or milk (21 - 28^)
4. Carefully add salt, sugar and flour/bread mix.
5. Make a small hollow in the surface of the flour, and put the piece of yeast or baking powder in the hollow.

Make sure that the yeast does not come into contact with water; this will immediately start the fermentation process.
! Add ingredients that would be broken down by kneading later during the preparation process, for example at the end of KNEAD2. The breadmaker sounds a beep when KNEAD2 is almost finished, so that you know when you can add the ingredients.
4. Place the baking pan bak into into place by turning it to the right till it locks.

1. Put the plug in the wall socket. The display on the top of the appliance will now illuminate. The display will automatically show the 1st menu and the standard time. A beep will sound each time any button is pressed.
2. Select a program by pressing the program button (15).
3. Select the colour of the bread by pressing the crust color button (19)
4. Start the breadmaker by pressing the Start/Stop button. The program begins, and the remaining time is shown in the display. The colon between the hours and minutes flashes to show that the program is running.
5. The breadmaker will now automatically work through all the steps of the program as set before starting the appliance. The display shows which step in the program is currently in progress. Water vapour may be seen escaping from the ventilation openings whilst the breadmaker is in operation; this is absolutely normal.

If you want to prevent large holes from appearing in the bottom of your bread, remove the kneading hooks AFTER the kneading and BEFORE the rising.

1. Open the lid and take out the baking tin.
2. Take the kneaded dough out of the baking tin. Cover your hands with flour to prevent it from sticking to your hands.
3. Take the hooks out of the dough. Should the kneading hook be stuck in the bread, it should be carefully removed using the extractor tool supplied.

4. Put the dough back into the baking tin, place back the baking tin and close the lid.

5. At the end of the program the display will show 0:00, and a beep will be heard. The display will then change to show the original duration of the program.

6. The Keep-warm function circulates hot air through the baking section for an additional approximately 1 hour. This is applicable to the majority of the programs; best results will be achieved when the baking tin is removed within the indicated time. A beep will sound at the end of the keep-warm period. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the function.
7. Press the Start/Stop button, and remove the baking tin.

Always wear oven gloves when opening the lid and when touching the baking tins.

1. Allow the loaf in the baking tin to cool for about 5 to 10 minutes, and then turn the tin upside down to allow the loaf to drop onto a rack. The dough hook may be left behind in the baking tin. If so, fill the baking tin with hot water and leave to soak before removing the dough hook. However, the dough hooks will usually remain in the loaf. Once the loaf has cooled completely remove the dough hook with the kneading hook extractor.
2. Once you have finished using the breadmaker always press the Start/Stop button and remove the plug from the wall socket.
   Whenever possible, try to avoid opening the breadmaker's lid while a program is running. This may be detrimental to the quality of the bread. When you have to open the lid to add ingredients then try to close the lid again as quickly as possible. This will reduce the temperature drop in the appliance.

1. Determine the time at which the bread is to be ready.
2. Calculate the difference between the required time and the current time.
3. Set the time using the Timer buttons and .

For example: You wish your bread to be ready at 08.00, and it is now 21.00 on the previous evening. The difference in time is 11 hours. Set the display on 11:00

! You can increase a maximum time delay of 13 hours in 10-minute steps. Keep the "Minuterie/timer" buttons pressed in to speed the increase time.

USE - Beep

The beep is heard:

• on pressing any of the buttons;
• at the end of any program;
• at the end of the keep-warm period;
• during the 2nd kneading period used in certain programs, as a reminder that it is time to add certain specific ingredients (nuts, chocolate, etc.).

USE - Interruptions to the power supply and power cuts

After interruptions to the power supply of a maximum of 10 minutes the breadmaker will automatically continue to work through the program. With longer power cuts the display will automatically return to the starting time of the relevant program; it will then be necessary to start the breadmaker again.

USE - Storing and cutting bread

The loaf will need to cool for at least 20 to 40 minutes before it can be cut properly. Preference is given to the use of a sharp electric knife, or a serrated bread knife.

Since your bread does not contain any preservatives you will not be able to keep it for long; you can keep the bread for about three days at room temperature. You can store bread in a deep-freeze if you wish to keep it for a longer period of time.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning the appliance.

Wait until the breadmaker has cooled down completely.
- IMPORTANT! The lid and/or housing must never be sprayed with or immersed in water or other liquids.
Clean the exterior of the breadmaker solely with a damp cloth.
- Any stains on the interior of the lid or in the air slits will be on the surface only; these stains develop during the baking process. They have no influence on the performance of the appliance. After each use of the appliance remove these stains using a damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid.
Clean the interior of the breadmaker solely with a damp cloth.
Use only warm water to clean the baking tin. Avoid scratching the non-stick layer.
- Verify that the breadmaker has cooled down completely before storing it in a cupboard.

Never use the following cleaning agents utensils:

• Paint thinners;
  White spirit or petrol;
  Scourers;
  Polish;
  Chemical cleaning cloths.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Care of the non-stick coating

Avoid damage to or scratches in the non-stick coating. Never use sharp objects such as metal spatulas, knives or forks. The colour of the coating can change over the course of time. This is caused by the repeated moistening and heating of the coating. However, it has no influence on the quality of the bread baked by the breadmaker. The opening in the centre of the kneading blades must be cleaned at regular intervals; after cleaning, lubricate with a drop of edible oil. This will prevent the kneading blades from sticking to the drive shafts. Remove any dust from the ventilation openings.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Storing of the breadmaker

Make use that all parts are dry. Check that there is no moisture inside the appliance. Close the lid; do not put anything on the lid.
