The appliance emits different buzzer sounds:
1 long buzzer sound - when connecting the appliance to the mains
- when manually terminating a program
- at the end of the keeping warm function
1 short buzzer sound When releasing a button.
5 buzzer sounds in sequence The temperature of the appliance is too high and prevents the start of a new program. The display will show "EE1".
10 buzzer sounds in sequence at the end of a program
The program stopped. "0:00" appears in the display next to the program number. For all programs, a keeping warm phase of 1 hour will start after that.
Program Memory
The program continues after a power failure of less than 10 minutes. After a longer power failure the bread maker must be restarted. This is only practical if the dough was at this time still in the kneading phase. You have to start from the beginning if baking already started!
Safety function
After a program finished, the appliance must cool down before you can start a new baking or kneading program (except for the programs "10 MARMEL-ADE" and "8 BACKEN").
The appliance will emit 5 buzzer sounds and the display will show "EE1", indicating that the temperature in the baking chamber is too high.
- Unplug the mains cable.
- Use oven mitts to remove the baking tin.
- Leave the lid open and wait until the appliance has cooled down completely. The cool-down period depends on the previous program settings.
Program Sequence Bread Maker
CAUTION: Risk of fire!
When adding the ingredients at the beginning of your baking, never do so while the baking tin is still inside the appliance.
1. Removing the baking tin
Open the lid. Slightly turn the baking tin counterclockwise until it is unlocked. Pull the baking tin up by its handle and place it on a flat surface.
2. Insert Kneading Hook
Place the semi-circular opening of the kneading hook over the drive shaft inside the baking tin. The flange of the opening must face down. Observe the flute on the shaft. The kneading hook sits level on the bottom of the baking tin.
3. Insert Ingredients
Ensure that the ingredients are filled into the baking tin according to the sequence determined by the recipe.
4. Inserting the baking tin
Place the baking tin on the shaft in the baking chamber while holding the baking tin diagonally. Slightly turn the baking tin clockwise until it locks. Close the lid.
5. Starting a program
- Press the AUSWAHL button to select the desired program.
- Press the TEGMENGE button to select the total weight for your ingredients.
- Press the FARBE button to select a light, medium, or dark browning.
- You can use the ZEIT button to delay the start of the program.
- Have you put your ingredients into the drawer on the back? Then select this function.
- Press the START/STOP button. The flashing colon indicates the program has started.
6. Leave Dough to Rise
After the last kneading the bread maker sets the optimum temperature for the dough to rise. It heats up to 25^ - 30^ if the room temperature is lower.
7. Baking
The bread maker adjusts the baking temperature automatically. Select the BACKEN program to extend the baking process in case the bread is still too pale after baking.
8. Keeping Warm (not in the programs 7 KNETEN, 10 MARMELADE, 11 MIXEN)
The buzzer sounds repeatedly after the baking program is finished and bread or foodstuffs can be removed. At the same time the 1-hour warning phase starts. "0:00" appears next to the program number in the display. The colon ". ." is flashing. After 1 hour the buzzer sounds and the warning phase ends. The display will show the start image. Disconnect from mains power supply.
9. Program "8 BACKEN" (extended baking)
- When the "keeping warm" phase is still running, press the START/STOP button until you hear a buzzer sound.
- Start the program "8 BACKEN".
- When the desired browning has been achieved, stop the program by pressing the START/STOP button.
- Disconnect from mains power supply.
10. Program End
Have a grid ready and disconnect from mains power supply.
Remove the baking tin with oven gloves after the program has ended, turn it upside down and slightly shake it; turn the kneading hook drive at the bottom if the bread does not come out immediately. Use the supplied hook in case the kneading hook gets stuck inside the bread. Insert it through the semi-circular opening of the kneading hook at the bottom of the warm bread and hook into the lower edge (at the wing of the kneading hook). Carefully pull the kneading hook upward with the hook. You can see in which part of the bread the wing of the kneading hook is stuck. Cut the bread in that position and easily remove the kneading hook.
Cleaning
WARNING:
- Always disconnect from mains power supply and let the appliance cool down before cleaning.
- Do not submerge the appliance and the baking tin in water. To avoid the risk of electric shock and fire do not fill water into the baking chamber.

CAUTION:
- Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive objects for cleaning.
- Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
NOTE:
The baking tin is anti-stick coated. It is normal if the color of the coating changes over time, this does not affect the function.
- Remove all ingredients and crumbs with a damp cloth from lid, casing and baking chamber.
- Wipe the baking tin on the outside with a damp cloth. The inside can be cleaned with water and a mild cleaning agent.
- Clean the kneading hooks and drive shafts immediately after use. The kneading hooks may be difficult to remove later if left in the baking tin. In this case fill warm water for approx. 30 minutes into the tin. The kneading hooks can then be removed easily.
Storage
- Ensure that the appliance is clean and dry and has cooled down complete before storing. Store the appliance with the lid closed.
- We recommend to store the appliance in its orginal packaging when not using the appliance for a longer period of time.
- Store the appliance out of reach of children and at a well ventilated dry place.
Baking Q & A
- The bread sticks to the container after baking
Leave the bread to cool for about 10 minutes after baking - turn the container upside down. Move the kneading hook shaft back and forth, if necessary. Grease the kneading hooks before baking.
- How do you avoid the forming of holes in the bread owing to the presence of the kneading hooks
You can remove the kneading hooks with your fingers covered with flour before leaving the dough to rise for the last time (see "Program Sequence Bread Maker"). The display must show a remaining processing time of approx. 1:30 hours, depending on the program. If you not wish to do so, use the hook after baking. If you proceed with caution, you can avoid the forming of a large hole.
- The dough spills over when it is left to rise
This happens in particular when wheat flour is used owing to its greater content of gluten.
Remedy:
a) Reduce the amount of flour and adjust the amounts of the other ingredients. When the bread is ready, it will still have a large volume.
b) Spread a tablespoon of heated liquefied margarine on the flour.
- The bread rises and spills over anyway
a) If a V-shaped ditch forms in the middle of the bread, the flour does not have enough gluten. This means that the wheat contains too little protein (it happens during especially rainy summers) or that the flour is too moist.
Remedy: Add one tablespoon of wheat gluten per 500g of wheat flour.
b) If the bread has a funnel shape in the middle, the possible cause can be one of the following
- the water temperature was too high,
- too much water was used,
- the flour was poor in gluten,
- draft when opening the lid during baking.
- When can the lid of the bread maker be opened during the baking?
Generally speaking, it is always possible while the kneading is underway. During this phase small quantities of flour or liquid can still be added.
If the bread must have a particular aspect after baking, proceed as follows: before the last rising phase (the display must show a remaining processing time of approx. 1:30 hours, depending on the program) open the lid with caution and shortly and carve the bread crust while it is forming with a sharp pre-heated knife, scatter cereals on it or spread a mixture of potato flour and water on the crust to give it a glossy finish. This is the last time that the lid can be opened; otherwise the bread will go down in the middle.
- What do the type numbers for flour mean?
The lower the type number, the less roughage the flour contains and the lighter it will be.
What is wholewheat flour?
Wholewheat flour is made of all types of cereals including wheat. The term "wholewheat" means that the flour was ground from whole grain and hence it has a greater contents of roughage thus making the wholewheat flour darker. However, the use of wholewheat flour does not make the bread darker as is widely believed.
What must be done when using rye flour?
Rye flour does not contain any gluten and the bread hardly rises. In order to make it easily digestible a rye wholewheat bread with leaven is to be made.
The dough will rise only if one part of type 550 flour is added to every four parts of rye flour without gluten.
What is gluten in flour?
The higher the type number, the lower the gluten contents of the flour are and the less the dough will rise. The highest quantity of gluten is contained in type 550 flour.
- How many different flour types are there and how are they used?
a) Corn, rice and potato flour are suitable for people allergic to gluten or for those who suffer from sprue or celiac disease. See the relevant recipes in the operating instructions.
b) Spelt flour is very expensive, but it is free from chemical additives because spelt grows on very poor soil and requires no fertilizers. Spelt flour is especially suitable for allergic people. It can be used in all those recipes described in the operating instructions requiring flour types 405, 550 or 1050.
c) Millet flour is especially suitable for people suffering from many allergies. It can be used in all recipes requiring flour types 405, 550 or 1050 as described in the operating instructions.
d) Durum wheat flour is suitable for baguettes thanks to its consistency and it can be replaced with durum wheat semolina.
- How can fresh bread be made easier to digest?
If a mashed boiled potato is added to the flour and kneaded in the dough the fresh bread is easier to digest.
- What doses of rising agent should be used?
For yeast and leaven, which must be bought in different quantities follow the producer's instruction on the package and adjust the quantity to the amount of flour used.
What can be done if the bread tastes of yeast?
a) Often sugar is added to eliminate this taste. The adding of sugar makes the bread lighter in color.
b) Add 112 tablespoons of vinegar for a small bread loaf and 2 tablespoons for a large loaf to the water.
c) Use buttermilk or kefir instead of water. This is possible for all the recipes and it is recommended for the freshness of the bread.
- Why does the bread made in an oven taste different from the bread made with the bread maker?
It depends on the different degree of humidity. The bread is baked drier in the oven owing to the larger baking space, while the bread made in the bread maker is moister.

Tips for Recipes
1. Ingredients
Since each ingredient plays a specific role for the successful baking of the bread, the measuring is just as important as the order in which the ingredients are added.
- The most important ingredients like the liquid, flour, salt, sugar and yeast (either dry or fresh yeast can be used) affect the successful outcome of the preparation of the dough and the bread. Always use the right quantities in the right proportion.
- Use lukewarm ingredients if the dough needs to be prepared immediately. If you wish to set the program phase timing function, it is advisable to use cold ingredients to avoid that the yeast starts to rise too early.
- Margarine, butter and milk affect the flavor of the bread.
- Sugar can be reduced by 20% to make the crust lighter and thinner without affecting the successful outcome of the baking. If you prefer a softer and lighter crust replace the sugar with honey.
- Gluten, which is produced in the flour during the kneading provides for the structure of the bread. The ideal flour mixture is composed of 40% wholewheat flour and 60% white flour.
- If you wish to add whole grains, leave them to soak overnight. Reduce the quantity of flour and the liquid (up to 1/5 less).
- Leaven is indispensable with rye flour. It contains milk and acetobacteria that make the bread lighter and ferment thoroughly. You can make your own leaven but it takes time. For this reason concentrated leaven powder is used in the recipes below. The powder is sold in 15 g packets (for 1 kg of flour). Follow the instructions given in the recipes (12, 34 or 1 packet). If less leaven than requested is used the bread will crumble.
- If leaven powders with a different concentration (100 g packet for 1 kg of flour) are used, the quantity of flour must be reduced by 80 g for 1 kg of flour.
- Liquid leaven sold in bags is also available and it is suitable for use. Follow the doses specified on the package. Fill the measuring cup with the liquid leaven and top it up with the other liquid ingredients in the right dosage as specified in the recipe.
- Wheat leaven, which often comes dry, improves the workability of the dough, the freshness and the taste. It is milder than rye leaven.
- Use either the BASIC or VOLLKORN program when baking leavened bread.
- Wheat bran is added to the dough if you want particularly light bread rich in roughage. Use one tablespoon for 500g of flour and increase the quantity of liquid by 12 tablespoons.
- Wheat gluten is a natural additive obtained from wheat proteins. It makes the bread lighter and more voluminous. The bread falls in more rarely and it is more easily digestible. The effect can be easily appreciated when baking wholewheat and other bakery products made of home-milled flour.
- The black malt used in some recipes is dark-roasted barley malt. It is used to obtain a darker bread crust and soft part (e.g. brown bread). Rye malt is also suitable but it is not as dark. You can find this malt in whole food shops.
-
Bread seasoning can generally be added to all our brown breads. The amount depends on your personal taste and the manufacturer's specifications.
-
Pure lecithin powder is a natural emulsifier that improves the volume of the bread, makes the soft part softer and lighter and keeps it fresh for longer.
2. Adjust Doses
If the doses need to be increased or reduced, make sure that the proportions of the original recipe are maintained. To obtain a perfect result, the basic rules below for the adjustment of the ingredient doses must be following:
- Liquids/flour: The dough ought to be soft (not too soft) and easy to knead without becoming stringy. A ball can be obtained by kneading it lightly. This is not the case with heavy dough like rye wholewheat or cereal bread. Check the dough five minutes after the first kneading. If it is too moist, add some flour until the dough has reached the right consistency. If the dough is too dry add a spoonful of water at a time during the kneading.
- Replacing liquids: When using ingredients containing liquids in a recipe (e.g. curd cheese, yogurt, etc.) the required amount of liquid must be reduced. When using eggs beat them in the measuring beaker and fill it up with the other required liquids to the envisaged amount.
If you are living in a place located at a high altitude (more than 750m above sea level) the dough rises faster. The yeast can be reduced in these cases by 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 teaspoon to proportionally reduce its rising. The same is true of places with particularly soft water.
3. Add and Measure Ingredients and Quantities
- Always put in first the liquid and the yeast at the end.
To avoid that the yeast acts too fast (in particular when using the timing function), contact between the yeast and the liquid must be avoided. - When measuring use the same measuring units, that is to say use either the measuring spoon supplied with the bread maker, or a spoon used in your home when the recipes require doses measured in tablespoons and teaspoons.
- The measures in grams must be weighed precisely.
- For the milliliter indications you can use the supplied measuring cup, which has a graduated scale of 50ml - 250ml .
The abbreviations in the recipes mean:
tbs = level tablespoonful (or large measuring spoon)
tsp = level teaspoonful (or small measuring spoon)
g = grams
ml = milliliter
Packet = 7 g dry yeast for 500 g of flour - corresponds to 20 g of fresh yeast
4. Recipes for the Bread Maker
The following recipes are for various bread sizes. In some programs a difference is made in weight.
CAUTION:
- Adjust the recipes to the appropriate weight.
- Ensure that the weight of the ingredients does not exceed 700g in level 1 or 1000g in level 2.
5. Bread Weights and Volumes
- In the following recipes you will find exact indications regarding the bread weight. You will see that the weight of pure white bread is less than that of wholewheat bread. This depends on the fact that white flour rises more and hence limits need to be posed.
- Despite the precise weight indications there may be slight differences. The actual bread weight depends much on the humidity of the room at the time of preparation.
- All breads with a substantial portion of wheat reach a large volume and exceed the baking tin edge after the last rising in case of the higher weight level. But the bread does not spill over. The part of the bread outside the tin is more easily browned compared to the bread in the tin.
6. Baking Results
- The baking result depends on the on-site conditions (soft water - high humidity - high altitude - consistency of the ingredients, etc.). Therefore, the recipe indications are reference points, which can be adjusted. If one recipe or another dose not work out straight the first time, do not be discouraged. Try to find the cause and try it again by varying the proportions.
- If the bread is too pale after baking, you can leave it to brown with the baking program.
