This cycle allows to form the structure of the dough and its ability to rise properly. For better rising of the dough, place the instant dry yeast into the dispenser (2). During this cycle, you may add ingredients: dried fruits, olives, etc. Some of these extra ingredients can also be placed into the dispenser (1) at the beginning of the recipe : nuts, seeds, raisins, chocolate chips, dry fruits, herbs. Be careful : some ingredients cannot be placed into the dispenser as they might stick to the sides of the dispenser : fat ingredients and wet ingredients such as cheese and ham. For these ingredients, you can place them directly into the bread pan at the beginning of the recipe.

Time during which the yeast works to leaven the bread and develop its aroma.

Transforms the dough into a loaf and ensures the desired crust colour and crispness level.

Keeps the bread warm for 1 hour after cooking. It is nonetheless recommended to turn out the bread once cooking is done. The display screen continues to display “0:00” during the hour-long “Keep warm” cycle. At the end of the cycle, the appliance stops automatically after producing several audio signals.

Don't use the delayed start program for recipes containing: raw milk, eggs, yoghurt, cheese, fresh fruit. PRACTICAL ADVICE

1. All ingredients used must be at room temperature (unless otherwise indicated), and must be

weighed accurately. Measure the liquids using the graduated cup provided. Use the spoon provided to measure tablespoons on one side and teaspoons on the other. Inaccurate measurements will yield bad results. Bread preparation is very sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. During hot weather, it is recommended to use cooler liquids than usual. Likewise, during cold weather, it may be necessary to warm the water or milk (never exceed 35°C).

2. Use ingredients prior to their best-before date and keep them in a cool, dry place.

3. The flour must be weighed accurately using a kitchen scale. Use active dry baker's yeast

4. Avoid opening the lid during use (unless otherwise indicated).

5. Follow the exact order of the ingredients and the quantities indicated in the recipes. First

the liquids, and then the solids. The yeast must not come into contact with the liquids or with the salt. Too much yeast weakens the dough structure, which will rise a lot and will subsequently sag during cooking. General order to follow: ––Liquids (softened butter, oil, eggs, water, milk) ––Salt ––Sugar ––First half of the flour ––Powdered milk ––Specific solid ingredients ––Second half of the flour ––Yeast (if not in the dispenser)

6. During a power outage under 7 minutes, the machine will

save its status and will resume its operation once the power comes online.

7. If you wish to have one bread cycle directly follow another,

wait for approximately 1 hr. between both cycles to allow the machine to cool and prevent any potential impact on bread making.

8. When turning out your bread, the kneading paddle may remain

stuck inside it. In this case, use the hook to gently remove it. To do so, insert the hook in the kneading paddle's shaft, and then lift to remove it.

9. To turn off the bread maker, press

button for 3 seconds.

10. To remove acoustic signal, press

button for 3 seconds.

Warnings for the use of gluten-free programs Menus 1, 2 and 3 must be used to make gluten-free breads or cakes. For each program, a single weight is available. Gluten-free breads and cakes are suitable for those who have an intolerance to the gluten (celiac disease sufferers) present in several cereals (wheat, barley, rye, oat, kamut, spelt, etc.). It is important to avoid cross-contamination with flours containing gluten. Exercise special care cleaning the pan and the kneading paddle, as well as all utensils being used to make gluten-free breads and cakes. You must also ensure that the yeast used contains no gluten. Gluten-free recipes have been developed based on the use of preparations (also called ready-to-use mixes) for gluten-free bread that are either Schär or Valpiform type.

• Blends of flour types must be sifted with the yeast to prevent lumps.
• When the program is launched, it is necessary to assist the kneading process: scrape down any unmixed ingredients on the sides towards the centre of the pan using a non-metallic spatula.
• Gluten-free bread cannot rise as much as a traditional bread. It will be of a denser consistency and lighter colour than normal bread.

• All premix brands do not yield the same results: the recipes may have to be adjusted. It is therefore recommended to conduct some tests (see example below). Example: adjust the quantity of liquid. Too liquid

Exception: cake batter must remain quite liquid.

Yeast: Bread is made using baker's yeast. This type of yeast is sold in several forms: small cubes of compressed yeast, active dry yeast to be rehydrated or instant dry yeast. Yeast is sold in supermarkets (bakery or fresh foods departments), but you can also buy compressed yeast from your baker. The yeast can be directly incorporated in your machine's pan with the other ingredients or into the yeast dispenser (for instant dry yeast only). Nonetheless consider thoroughly crumbling the compressed yeast between your fingers to facilitate its dispersion. Follow the recommended amounts (see the equivalences chart below). Quantity/weight equivalences between dry yeast and compressed yeast: Dry yeast (in tsp)

Compressed yeast (in g)

Flours: Using T55 flour is recommended, unless otherwise indicated in the recipes. When using mixes of special flour types for bread, brioche or milk bread, do not exceed 750 g of dough in total (flour + water). Depending on the quality of the flour, the bread making results may also vary.

• Keep flour in a hermetically sealed container, since flour reacts to fluctuations in climate conditions (humidity). Adding oats, bran, wheat germ, rye or whole grains to the bread dough, will produce a bread that is denser and less fluffy.
• The more a flour is based on whole grains, that is, containing a part of the outer layers of a wheat grain (T>55), the less the dough will rise and the denser the bread will be.
• You will also find commercially available ready-to-use preparations for breads. Please refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the use of these preparations. Gluten-free flour: Using large quantities of these flour types to make bread calls for the use of the gluten-free bread program. There is a large number of flour types that do not contain any gluten. The best known are buckwheat flour, rice flour (either white or whole grain), quinoa flour, corn flour, chestnut flour, millet flour and sorghum flour. For gluten-free breads, in order to try to recreate the elasticity of gluten, it is essential to mix several types of non bread making flours and to add thickening agents. Thickening agents for gluten-free breads: To obtain a proper consistency and to attempt to imitate the elasticity of gluten, you may add some xanthan gum and/or guar gum to your preparations. Ready-to-use gluten-free preparations: They make it easier to make gluten-free bread since they contain thickeners and have the advantage of being completely guaranteed to be glutenfree — some are also organic. All brands of ready-to-use gluten-free preparations do not yield the same results. Sugar: Don't use sugar lumps. Sugar feeds the yeast, gives a good flavour to the bread and improves the crust colour. Salt: It regulates the activity of the yeast and gives flavour to bread. It must not come into contact with the yeast prior to the start of the preparation. It also improve the structure of the dough. Water: Water rehydrates and activates the yeast. It also hydrates the flour's starch and enables the loaf to be formed. Water may be replaced, in whole or in part, by milk or other liquids. Use

liquids at room temperature, except for gluten-free breads, which require the use of warm water (approximately 35°C). Fats and oils: Fats make the bread fluffier. It will also keep better and longer. Too much fat slows the rise of the dough. If you use butter, crumble it into small pieces or soften it. Do not incorporate melted butter. Prevent the fat from coming into contact with the yeast, since the fat could prevent the yeast from rehydrating. Eggs: They improve the bread's colour and favour good development of the loaf. If you use eggs, reduce the quantity of liquid accordingly. Break the egg and add the necessary liquid until you obtain the quantity of liquid indicated in the recipe. The recipes have been designed for a medium-sized egg of 50 g, if the eggs are larger, add some flour; if the eggs are smaller, add a little less flour. Milk: Milk has an emulsifying effect that leads to the creation of more regular cells, and therefore an attractive loaf appearance. You may use fresh milk or powdered milk. If you use powdered milk, add the quantity of water initially reserved for milk: the total volume must be equal to the volume indicated in the recipe. Flavours and herbs: Some of extra ingredients can also be placed into the dispenser (1) at the beginning of the recipe : nuts, seeds, raisins, chocolate chips, dry fruits, herbs. Be careful: some ingredients can not be placed into the dispenser as they might stick to the sides of the dispenser: fat ingredients and wet ingredients such as cheese and ham. For these ingredients, you can place them directly into the bread pan at the beginning of the recipe.

CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGHURT

Milk Which type of milk may I use? You may use all types of milk (for example, cow's milk, goat's milk, sheep's milk, soya milk or other plant-based milks). The consistency of the yoghurt may vary according to the milk used. Raw milk, long shelf life milks and all milks described below are suitable for use in the appliance:

• Sterilised long shelf life milk: Whole UHT milk produces a firmer yoghurt. Partly skimmed milk produces a less firm yoghurt. Alternatively, you may use partly skimmed milk and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of powdered milk.
• Whole milk: this milk produces a creamier yoghurt, with a thin “skin” layer on top.
• Raw milk (farm milk): this type of milk must be boiled beforehand. We recommend boiling it for a sufficient length of time. Next, let it cool before placing it in the appliance.
• Powdered milk: this type of milk produces a very creamy yoghurt. Always follow the instructions appearing on the manufacturer's packaging. Fermentation Agent For the yoghurt The fermentation agent may be:
• A plain yoghurt purchased in a store, whose expiration date is the latest one available.
• A freeze-dried fermentation agent or lactic cultures. In this case, follow the activation duration indicated in the fermentation agent's instructions for use. These agents are available in supermarkets, pharmacies and some health food stores.
• One of your recently prepared yoghurts – this must be a plain yoghurt, the most recent possible. This process is called a “culture”. The properties of the agents may be destroyed by overly elevated temperatures.

• Depending on the basic ingredients used and the desired result, the fermentation of the yoghurt will take between 6 and 12 hours. Liquid Firm Sweet Sour 6 hrs. 7 hrs. 8 hrs. 9 hrs. 10 hrs. 11 hrs. 12 hrs. Once the cooking is done, put the yoghurt in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, and consume it within 7 days. Rennet (for soft white cheese) To make your cheeses, you can use some rennet or an acidic liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar to curdle the milk.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down completely.
• Wash the pan and the kneading paddle using hot soapy water. If the kneading paddle stays in the pan, soak it for 5 to 10 min.
• Clean the other components with a damp sponge. Dry thoroughly.
• No part whatsoever is machine washable.
• Don't use any household cleanser, abrasive pads or alcohol. Use a soft, damp cloth.
• Never submerge the appliance's body or the lid.
