Keep pressing the ⚪ key until the required programme is shown in the programme indicator display (B) and in the LED display (A).

D Timer settings

Programmes may be started with a delayed timer setting, enabling the selected programme to finish up to 13 hours later.

Example:

You want to start the programme at 20.00, and you would like your bread to be finished at 7.30 the next morning. Accordingly, the total programme running time will be 11 hours and 30 minutes.

- Use the button to select the desired programme.

- Press the appropriate ⏻ button until the display shows a total running time of 11:30.

- Add the ingredients following the instructions given in the section Operation. Avoid any contact between the yeast and fluids or salt.

- Do not use the timer function where a recipe requires the use of perishable ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk or fruit. The timer function is also unsuitable for recipes which require the addition of any ingredients (e.g. nuts, grains or dried fruits) during the second kneading phase.

E Browning

The baking programmes allow for a pre-selection of the desired level of browning; three settings are available. In addition to the programme number, the selected level of browning is shown on the LED display.

L = light

P = medium

H = dark

F START button

The ① button starts or terminates a programme. The continuously flashing colon in the LED time display indicates that the programme has been activated.

Protection against wrong input:

Once a programme has been started, all other control buttons will remain blocked until the baking process has finished, or until the Ⓞ button has been pressed for a minimum of 2 seconds.

When pressing any control button, wait until the correct input is acknowledged by a beep signal before releasing the button.

USING THE BREAD-MAKER

Your new bread-maker allows you to:

- bake breads to various recipes, some of which can be found in the appendix to this manual. However, this bread-maker also allows you to use commercially available ready-to-bake mixtures with up to 600g of solid ingredients (for a loaf of approx. 1000g).

- mix, knead dough for bread rolls, pizza etc., and let the dough rise.

Additional important instructions

- Always use an oven-cloth or suitable gloves when touching the unit after use, or when handling freshly-baked bread.

- Only recipes with a flour content of approx. 400g - 600g should be used with this bread-

maker.

Should the flour content fall short of this minimum, thorough kneading of the dough cannot be ensured. Excessive flour content may result in the dough rising over the edge of the baking-tin.

• In case of a power failure of less than 30 minutes during operation, the baking process is continued automatically at the point of interruption.
• During the kneading process, water vapour may condense on the viewing window. However, this condensation will disappear during the baking phase.
• To ensure evenly baked bread, do not open the lid during the baking process.
• After use, allow sufficient time for the bread-maker and the baking-tin to cool down before cleaning them thoroughly.
• The baking-tin and the dough hook are non-stick coated. In order to prevent damage to this, do not use any metallic, hard, sharp or pointed objects on the coating.
• Caution: operating the bread-maker empty could result in damage to the unit by overheating of the empty baking-tin.

Caution

• In the event of any smoke coming from the baking compartment, be sure to keep the door firmly closed, but immediately remove the plug from the wall socket. Do not, under any circumstances, try to smother or extinguish smouldering dough with water. Smoke can occur as the result of dough rising over the edge of the baking-tin and touching the heating elements. It is therefore essential to follow the quantity limits given in the recipes.
• Always make sure that the unit is placed well out of children's reach, especially while it is operating.
• Do not place the unit on soft or inflammable surfaces (e.g. carpets). Always ensure that it is placed on a firm and level work surface. Always position the unit in such a way that it cannot fall over.
• Do not touch the metal housing, the steam vents at the rear of the unit, or the viewing window in the lid: these parts heat up during operation.
• Before the appliance is cleaned, ensure it is switched off, disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.

PROGRAMME FUNCTIONS

1 = STANDARD

This programme is used most frequently and suitable for breads with high wheat flour content.

2 = QUICK

Suitable for quick-baking light wheat-flour bread. Because of the shortened rising phase, the loaves may turn out somewhat smaller.

3 = CAKES

Because of its relatively high sugar content, sweet yeast dough tends to brown more quickly; in this programme, the baking phase is therefore shorter.

4 = WHITE BREAD

Suitable for typical light dough white bread such as French bread etc.

5 = BISCUITS, PASTRY

Suitable for preparing biscuits or pastry, when using baking powder instead of yeast.

6 = WHOLEMEAL

Compared with the STANDARD setting, this programme has extended rising and baking phases, since the dough for bread with a high rye or wholemeal flour content tends to rise less than dough containing wheat flour.

7 = DOUGH

This programme does not include a baking phase. After the programme has finished, the dough (e.g. pizza dough) can be removed and then baked in a conventional oven.

8 = BAKING

Suitable for baking dough (e.g. dough previously kneaded using the DOUGH programme). In this way, the rising phase can be modified according to the type of dough before the BAKING programme is started.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Remove the baking-tin.
• Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and switch the appliance on.
• Use the ⬆ button to select programme 8 (BAKING).
• Press the Ⓞ button and let the unit heat up for approximately 10 minutes with the lid open. This will remove the smell typically encountered when first activating the heating elements; ensure sufficient ventilation. To prevent the baking-tin from overheating, be sure to remove it before switching the unit on.
• Afterwards, press the Ⓤ button for at least 2 seconds, remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the unit to cool down. The baking-tin itself must be thoroughly cleaned before it is used for the first time.

OPERATION

• Open the lid and remove the baking-tin.
• Fit the dough hook into its socket inside the baking-tin.
• For best results, always put liquids in first, followed by solid ingredients such as flour.
• Finally, add the yeast. Be sure to avoid any contact between the yeast and salt or liquids when using the timer.
• Replace the baking-tin in the unit. Make sure that the tin locks firmly into place. Before starting the programme, close the lid, insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and switch the unit on.
• Use the button to select the desired baking programme. Each time the button is pressed, the display changes to the next programme in the sequence.

- Using the button, the desired level of browning can be pre-selected: P - Medium, H - Dark, L - Light. This function is not available in the DOUGH programme.

- If you wish to start the programme with a timer delay, the desired total running time can now be set with the ⏻ buttons.

- Otherwise, press the Ⓞ button to start the kneading and/or baking process.

- During the second kneading phase in the programmes STANDARD, QUICK, WHITE BREAD and WHOLEMEAL, an acoustic signal indicates that additional ingredients such as fruits and nuts can be added to the dough. Do not open the lid after this second kneading phase, but wait until the programme has finished.

- Once the bread or dough is ready, a multiple acoustic signal is heard and the time display shows 0:00. Press the Ⓞ button for at least 2 seconds and open the lid.

- Carefully remove the baking-tin using an oven cloth. Do not place the hot baking-tin on any heat-sensitive surfaces. Should you forget to press the Ⓞ button, and not remove the bread immediately, it will still be kept warm automatically for a period of 60 minutes. This is to ensure that no condensation can collect in the baking-tin.

- Remove the bread from the baking-tin. To loosen the bread, it may be lightly shaken. Should the dough hook be stuck in the bread, it should be removed carefully. To avoid damage or scratches to the non-stick coating, do not use any metallic or otherwise unsuitable objects.

To allow the underside of the loaf to cool down as well, it should be placed on a suitable wire rack. Do not attempt to cut the bread until it has sufficiently cooled down.

CLEANING AND CARE

- Caution: before the appliance is cleaned, ensure it is switched off, disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.

Do not immerse the bread-maker in water.

- Remove the baking-tin from the appliance, and take out the dough hook.

The baking-tin and the dough hook may be cleaned using hot water and a mild detergent. Do not use any rough material for cleaning. If you are unable to separate the dough hook from the baking tin using normal force, let it soak in lukewarm water for approximately 30 minutes. Do not use excessive force to remove the hook.

• To prevent damage to the drive-shaft seal, the baking-tin should not be left soaking for any extended period of time. Do not clean the baking-tin in a dish-washer.
• The inside of the lid may be cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use cleaning agents specifically designed for baking ovens, and do not use any abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions, vinegar or bleaching agents for cleaning.
• Before storing the appliance, always ensure that it has cooled down and that it is completely dry.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

1. The bread has a strong smell.

Check whether the correct amount of yeast was used. Too much yeast causes an unpleasant smell and makes the loaf rise too much. Always use fresh ingredients.

1. The baked bread is wet and has a sticky surface.

Remove the bread from the appliance immediately after baking, and place it onto a wire rack, allowing it to cool down.

1. Pressing the Start button fails to activate the selected programme.

Make sure that the unit is properly connected to the mains supply, and that the unit is switched on.

Should the appliance still be too hot after a previous work cycle, an automatic safety switch prevents the appliance from resuming operation. In that case, the LED display shows the letters HHH, and a continuous acoustic signal is heard. Press the ① button for 2 seconds, and remove the baking-tin with the ingredients from the unit. Allow the

bread-maker to cool down for approximately 20 minutes before attempting to start the programme again.

1. The loaf has risen too high.

Reduce the quantity of yeast, water or flour used.

1. The loaf has not risen high enough.

Increase the amount of yeast, water or sweetening agents. Ensure that the correct order is used when putting the ingredients into the baking-tin: first the liquid ingredients, followed by the solid ingredients, and finally the yeast.

Note: bread made of rye or wholemeal flour tends to rise less than bread made of wheat flour.

1. After the baking phase has started, the dough collapses inwards.

The dough is too light. Slightly reduce the quantity of liquid or the amount of yeast, or use a programme with a shorter rising phase. You may also try increasing the amount of salt.

1. The dough is too soft or too sticky.

The dough texture may become smoother if a spoonful of flour is added during the kneading process.

1. The dough is very difficult to knead.

Add a spoonful of water during the kneading process.

Additional recipe information

The recipes suggested in this manual may be modified to taste by adding various ingredients of your choice.

Depending on your taste, you may add e.g. wheat germ, sun flower seeds, herbs, caraway seeds, ground pepper, ground nuts, muesli, hominy grits, finely cut bacon cubes etc.

These ingredients may be added after the acoustic signal, i.e. during the second kneading phase, but only for the following programmes: STANDARD, QUICK, WHITE BREAD and WHOLEMEAL BREAD.

The bread-maker is designed to process recipes with a flour content of up to 600g. In order to prevent the dough rising over the edge of the baking-tin and to ensure that the dough is properly and thoroughly kneaded, do not exceed these limits.

All ingredients should be at normal room temperature.

Sugar assists the yeast as a rising agent, and tends to make the crust darker and thicker.

Salt gives a firmer texture to the dough and slows the rising process down.

When adding additional ingredients of a liquid nature to a recipe, make sure that the quantity of liquid given in the recipe is reduced accordingly. This applies, for instance, when eggs, fresh cheese or yoghurt are used.

The baking results depend on several factors such as air pressure, humidity, water hardness, room temperature or the temperature of the ingredients. If a recipe does not turn out to your taste right away, we recommend modifying the suggested recipes accordingly, as described in the section 'Typical problems'.
