USER MANUAL Silver Breadmaker XL 151941 PRINCESS

Read these instructions thoroughly first and keep them for future reference. Check that your domestic electricity supply matches that of the appliance. Only connect this appliance to an earthed socket. This fully automatic bread maker mixes and kneads the dough, bakes the bread and then switches to the stay-warm function (to keep the bread appetisingly fresh and crispy). Fresh bread every time, just as you like it. Also suitable for special diets. Crust colour can be set to light, medium and dark. This unique bread maker comes with 10 fixed digital programmes, timer (wake up to the aroma of freshly baked bread), large LCD screen, removable baking tin with non-stick coating and 2 mixers for the perfect results every time. With measuring cup and measuring scoop.

Place the machine on a sturdy, flat and non-flammable surface (not on a plastic table cloth for example) and at a safe distance from an oven or stove or other heat sources. Keep a distance of at least 5 cm between the machine and the walls. Never place the machine on a damp surface and do not use the machine out of doors. The machine will heat up while in use, so keep children at a safe distance. You are advised to use oven gloves or pot- holders to remove the hot baking tins from the machine. Do not use any metal objects (e.g. knives) to handle the baking tin as this will damage the non-stick coating. Use the machine with dry hands only. Before using the baking tins and the kneading arms for the first time, wash them carefully in warm soapy water and dry them off. The machine may give off a little smoke when used for the first time. This is normal for new heating elements and will stop after a short time.

STEP BY STEP DESCRIPTION

The whole process is described below in brief on a step by step basis. The terms used will be explained later in these instructions. - Take the baking tin out of the breadmaker and put the 2 kneading arms onto the shafts so that they face each other. - Weigh the ingredients according to the recipe and place them in the baking tin. First the flour. Put the yeast in a small hollow in the flour. Then the salt, the butter or oil, and the sugar, all in a different corner. Pour water or milk along the edges. (the yeast must not come into contact with the water, the salt or the butter or oil. This is especially important when you set the baking time with the ‘Timer’ button.) - Place the baking tin into the breadmaker and press it firmly. The baking tin is now held firmly in place by the clamps. - Close the lid and plug it in. 03:30:00 now appears on the display. - Select the desired programme with the ‘MENU’ button. - Use the ‘COLOR CONTROL’ button to select the desired browning level (light, medium or dark).

If this is the case, they can be carefully removed. Note that the kneading arms are hot! - If you wish to bake another loaf, you should wait a few minutes until the appliance has sufficiently cooled off. The breadmaker will emit a peeping sound and ‘HHH’ will appear in the display if it has not cooled down suf- ficiently. - Turn the appliance off when finished and remove the plug from the socket. - The easiest way to cut the freshly baked bread is with the Princess electric knife ( art 2952) 2952) CONTROL PANEL You can switch the breadmaker on and off using the start/stop button.

COMMENTS CONCERNING THE RECIPES

To get the best results, be careful to keep to the correct proportions between the ingredients. Use the enclosed measuring cup and measuring scoop, or use a weighing scales. The measuring cup is 300 ml. Ensure the water is not too cold - the best temperature is hand warm (28°X to 30°XC) . The large measuring scoop is 15 ml and is equal to a dessert spoon. The small measuring scoop is 5 ml and is equal to a teaspoon Every recipe has fresh or dried yeast listed and you should make a choice between the two according to your preference. Possible problems when baking bread The bread does not rise:

• put the yeast under the flour so that it doesn’t come into contact with salt, butter or water. The bread rises too high.

• use more salt The bread looks like a “crater”:

• too much water has been used

• use 2 more dessertspoons of flour

• The bread has been left too long in the bread mould. The bread is too heavy:

• Use 2 more dessertspoons of water.. There are holes in the bread

• use 2 fewer dessertspoons of water

• use a little less yeast

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before using the breadmaker for the first time, clean it and the kneading arms with a gentle detergent. Before cleaning and storing the appliance, always let it cool down first. After cooling down for about half an hour, the appliance is ready to be used once again for baking or making dough. Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the wall socket and give the appliance the chance to cool down. Never use aggressive detergents such as chemical cleaners, oven cleaner etc. Remove all ingredients and crumbs from the lid, the housing and the pan with a damp cloth. Never immerse the bread maker in water and never fill the appliance with water. Clean the housing on the inside and outside with a damp cloth. Always clean and dry the appliance carefully after use. The kneading arms and shafts must be cleaned immediately after each use.14 If you leave the kneading arms in position after use, it may be difficult to remove them at a later stage. If this happens, fill the baking tin with warm water and, after 30 minutes, remove the kneading arm and clean it. The baking tin and kneading arms are covered with a non-stick coating; you should therefore never use metal implements that could damage the surface. It is normal that the colour of the non-stick coating will turn dull after several baking cycles. This will not affect the functioning however. Before storing the appliance away, ensure that it is has completely cooled down and is clean and dry. Always close the lid of the appliance when storing it away.
