This appliance complies with EC regulation 76/889/EEC for tv and radio disturbance – additional rule 82/499.

The packaging should contain the breadmaker, one bread pan, two large kneading paddle, mesuring cup, mesuring spoon and the instruction manual.

Remove all packaging materials and keep them away from children. Check if all additional parts are there and whether you have removed them all from the packaging. Please verify if your breadmaker has not suffered any damage during the transport.

Clean your breadmaker, bread pan and kneading paddle with a damp cloth. The bread pan and the kneading paddle both have a non-stick coating to prevent dough from sticking to it. You must therefore never clean these parts with cleaning products, a sponge or a dishwashing brush. A damp cloth will do to clean them. It is perfectly common and harmless for your appliance to emit a bit of smoke when you use it for the fi rst time.

The quality of the baked bread will depend on a whole range of factors. Please make sure all ingredients are at room temperature and that you keep to the correct amount of each ingredient, as indicated in the recipes. INGREDIENTS Baking a great bread will largely depend on 3 main factors: quality, freshness and correct measurement of quantities. FLOUR Flour is the basic component of bread. The weight of the fl our varies, depending on the type of fl our used.It is therefore absolutely neccesary that you weigh the right quantity on a pair of scales. Please make sure you buy a variety of fl our which is suitable for bread making. Check the packing. GLUTEN Gluten is a natural ingredient of fl our and stimulates the bread to rise. YEAST Yeast is a micro-organism found on several vegetable foodstuffs. Yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This ability is ideal for the bread to rise and to make it lighter and easier to digest. We recommend the use of dry yeast for this breadmaker. This (granular) yeast is easier to work with, keeps for a longer time than fresh yeast and generally gives you a better result as well. SALT Salt does not only lend the bread a certain fl avour but equally regulates the activity of the yeast, strengthens the dough and prevents the bread from rising too hard. 46B3956 BUTTER / OIL Butter and oil improve the general taste of the bread and equally soften it. Butter or oil should both be at room temperature when you add them to the other ingredients. SUGAR Sugar is the nutrient that the yeast feeds itself on and is of great importance for the bread’s rising process. You can use plain white sugar, brown sugar, syrup or honey. Sugar lends the bread a certain soft and delicate fl avour, increases its nutritional value and also renders the bread less perishable. Look out: you should not use unrefi ned sugar or sugar lumps, when you want to make e.g. cinnamon bread, for they can damage the non-stick coating of the bread pan. WATER When the fl our mixes with the water, the gluten will form and air can no longer enter, thus enabling 3 the bread to rise. At normal temperature you should use tepid water to make bread: cold water will not activate the yeast and warm water will achieve the opposite result. MILK Milk adds greatly to the colour of the bread (brown for the crust, creamy on the inside), improves the overall taste of the bread and increases its nutritional value. Should you choose to use fresh milk, do not forget to reduce the amount of water, in order to maintain the right level of humidity. CAREFUL: do not use fresh milk if you are going to choose the baking program with the time delay function, for the milk could turn sour. OTHER INGREDIENTS In some cookery books you may come across recipes requiring the use of herbs, nuts, currants, fruit or vegetables. Always use fresh ingredients. When you want to use nuts, sunfl ower seeds, dried fruit or similar ingredients, we recommend that they be soaked in water and dried before adding them to the dough. Always ensure these ingredients are not too large, for they may damage the non-stick coating. THE DISPLAY “Menu” button This button is used to select the correct baking program. Every time you press this button a “biep” signal is heard and the program number changes. You can see the selected program number on the display. This bread maker has 11 programs. “colour” button Use this button to indicate the colour of the crust light, medium or dark. Tip : if you use a recipe for the fi rst time, we recommend to use the selection medium. 47B3956 “loaf size” button This button is used to select the size of bread you want to back “small or “larger”. “Larger” is selected to bake a large bread up to 1350g, “small” is used for baking two or one small bread of 450g. Tip : the total amount of ingredients mentioned on the recipe is the weight of your bread. “start” and “stop” button With this button the program can be started or stopped. Tip : when selected the wrong program, you can stop the bread maker by pressing the “stop” button during a few seconds. Afterwards you can reset the appliance with the correct program. Start : to start the program, press the button once a short biep will be heard. The “:” between the time will start blinking. The appliance will countdown the time and fi nish the program. Stop : to end the program, press the button a few seconds until a biep is heard, to confi rm the program has stopped. On/off How can you check if the machine is working or the program is runing ? If the “:” is blinking the program is working. If the “:” is lighted constantly the program has stopped. “time” button For setting the current time as well as for programming the timer. “cycle” button For setting the different cycles when using the program “home made”. “Pause” button For interrupting a program. When pressing the “pause” button the program will be interrupted but not stopped. The remaining time will start to blink. When pressing the “pause” button again, the program will fi nish the remaining time. The “pause” button is also used for setting hours and min. when setting the time. GETTING STARTED When plugging in the appliance a “biep” signal isheard and “1 3:10” is shown on the display. The colon between 3 and 10 won’t blink. This is the standard setting”1” is stating the selected program., in this case the program 1 “basic”. 3:10 is stating the working time of the program. The display also shows an arrow pointing at “larger”, to indicate the size of bread selected. A second arrow points to “medium”, to indicated the selected crust colour. These are 48B3956 all standard selections.

SETTING THE CURRENT TIME

Add 2 AAA batteries to the bottom of your bread maker. This way the clock will stay working all the time, even when the unit isn’t plugged in. When inserting the batteries the display will show “12:00”. Plug in the appliance. Press the “pause” button , the hours will start blinking. Set the correct hour by pressing the “time” button. Pay attention to the indication of “am” for morning time or “pm” for afternoon on the display. Press the “pause” button again, the minutes will start blinking, now use the “time” button to set the minutes. Press the “pause” button again to confi rm the set time. Or wait 5 sec, for the setting to confi rm automatically. The hour will stop blinking, only the colon will fl ash. PROGRAMS Program 1 : basic : the most frequently used program for baking white bread. Program 2 : whole wheat : this program is best used for making heavier breads, such as multi grain or whole wheat. These breads will be smaller than white bread, because the fl our is heavier. Program 3 : french : the kneeding and rising time for this program is longer than with the program basic. Program 4 : quick : this program can be used for baking a bread within a limited amount of time. Program 5: sweet : this program is suited for making sweet breads such as raison bread. Program 6 : Cake : with this program you can bake a bread, made of baking powder. Bread baked with this program will be smaller and more solid. The timer can’t be used with this program, because baking powder will work instantly. If you want to make cake with this program, we recommend to add the ingredients to the bake pan. Select the program and before pressing the start button, mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon. This will enhance the kneeding proces. Program 7 : jam : for making delicious fresh jam. Attention ! Make sure to remove the pips from the fruit, before adding them to the bake pan. Sharp pips can damage the anti-adhesive layer. Program 8 : dough : with this program you can only make dough. Program 9 : ultra fast : To make a fresh bread of 700g in a bit more than 1 hour. Program 10 : bake : this program can be used to bake already prepared dough. By using the time knobs you can set the time from 5 tot 60 min. You can also reheat already baked bread. Program 11 : home made : with this program you can set all the different stages of baking a bread your self. From the kneading time, the rising time tot he bake time. how to operate : Select this program. Press the “cycle” button, on the display appears the words 49B3956 “knead1”. You can now press the “time” button to set the desired fi rst kneading time. Press the “cycle” button to confi rm the set time. Press the “cycle” button again for the second step, “rise 1”, the fi rst rise time. Press the “time” button again to set the desired rise time. Press the “cycle” button again to confi rm. You continue this way until you have fi nished all different steps of the bread making process : knead 1, rise 1, knead 2, rise 2, rise 3, bake and keep warm. When you have fi nished setting the complete baking cycle, press the ‘start/stop” button to confi rm the settings. Press the “start/stop” button again to start the baking proces. USE Step 1 : take the bread pan out of the bread maker, by taking the handle and pulling it straight up. Step 2 : Place the kneading hooks on the axes inside the bread pan. The kneading hooks must be placed correctly, to make sure all ingredients will get mixes properly. The large kneeding hooks, are for the large bread pan. The small kneading hooks are for the bread pan, devided into two parts. Step 3 : Add the ingredients as follows :

5. sugar ( on one side)

6. salt (on other side)

7. yeast (in the middle)

Attention ! The yeast may not come in contact with water. It is possible that the water will activate the yeast before all ingredients have been mixed properly. Step 4 : Remove all residu of the ingredients from the outside of the bread pan. Place the bread pan back in your bread maker and press fi rmly, to make sure it locks properly. Step 5 : close the lid. Step 6 : Connect the bread maker to an electrical socket. Step 7 : select the desired program by using the “menu” button.

• If you select one of these programs, you can not select the weight. The time set in the display is indicated in hours and minutes. For example : program 1, basic, small : time 3 hours and 5 minutes. Step 11 : When the bread is fi nished, the machine will biep. Press and hold the stop button for a few seconds. The machine will biep again to confi rm the program has stopped. Unplug the unit and open the lid. Remove the bread pan, using oven mittens. Leave the bread in the bread pan to cool for 10 to 15 min. Keep the bread pan above the sink and shake slightly, until the bread slights out. During the kneading proces of the following programs a biep signal is heard : basic, whole wheat, french, sweet and home made. This biep signal indicates that you can add extra ingredients such as : raisons, nuts, etc. Open the lid, add the extra ingredients and close the lid. The kneading proces wil continue. Attention ! Let raisons and nuts soak before adding them, dry them with a towel or kitchen paper. Make sure the extra ingredients are not to big or sharp, this could damage the anti-adhesive layer. Don’t place the bread or bread pan on the outside of the machine or on a plastic table cloth. When the bread won’t come out, you can gently turn the axe at the bottom of the bread pan, until the bread comes loose. When the kneading hook is still in the bread after you removed it from the bread pan, you can use the special hook that was delivered with your machine to remove the kneading hook. If necessary let the bread cool down further, and remove the kneading hook by hand. Make sure the kneading hook has cooled down suffi ciantly. We recommend to slice the bread afterr 15 to 20 min. Extra : if you for example are not home on time, the bread maker will keep the bread warm for 60 min. This extra heat time is not included in the program time.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR BREAD MAKER

Before cleaning your bread maker, please ensure it is no longer activated, it has suffi ciently cooled down and the plug has been disconnected from the power socket. EXTERIOR Clean the outside of your appliance and its viewing window with a damp cloth or a sponge. Take out the bread pan before you start cleaning. If necessary, you can clean the exterior of the appliance with a mild detergent. INTERIOR Gently clean the inside of the appliance with a lightly damp cloth. Be careful when cleaning the heating element. BREAD PAN You can clean the bread pan with warm water. Be careful not to damage the non-stick coating. In case the kneading paddle gets stuck, allow the bread pan to cool down completely. Next, gently pour a little bit of warm water into the bread pan until the kneading paddle is under water. The sticky bits will dissolve and you will be able to remove the kneading paddle easily. Never use cleaning products or dishwashing brushes, for they may damage the non- stick coating of the bread pan. The bread pan must not be cleaned in the dishwasher. HOW TO BAKE A DELICIOUS BREAD:

A FEW PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS

Please make sure your ingredients are at room temperature and that they are carefully weighed. Add the ingredients in the right order. You should only use fresh ingredients. The yeast needs to be the last ingredient you put in the bread pan. Put the yeast into a little hole in the fl our, thus ensuring it does not come in contact with the added salt, sugar, water or milk. You can verify the freshness of your yeast by submitting it to the following test: dissolve 1 teaspoonful of sugar in half a cup of lukewarm water and 52B3956 subsequently add the yeast to this mixture. If the substance starts sparkling and boiling after a few minutes, you can be sure that you are using fresh yeast. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes after your bread maker has been activated, you can equally test the quality of the dough. The dough should look like a smooth and elastic round ball. Open the lid and gently touch the top of the dough with your fi ngers. Be careful and make sure the kneading paddle remains in action. If the dough somewhat sticks to your fi ngers, this implies the dough is going to be fi ne. Should the dough however stick to the bread pan, then it is probably too moist. If the dough does not stick to your fi ngers at all, the pastry you are making is too dry. Salt brakes the effect of the yeast and sugar exactly does the opposite. If you are not allowed to use either sugar or salt for dietary reasons, you must not add the other ingredient either. Your bread will not contain sugar or salt. If you bake another bread straight away, you will fi rst have to allow the bread maker to cool down for 10 to 20 minutes. Different types of bread will have different structures and sizes, due to the different nature of the ingredients used. These differences are completely normal and need not to worry you. For some recipes, you may need to adjust the quantities, i.e. the amount of yeast, fl our or water. Never adjust all these quantities at the same time, for it will not have any effect. Adjusting a quantity may be necessary because of the quality and specifi c gravity of the fl our, differences in ambient temperature or freshness of the ingredients. Home-made bread, made with this bread maker, does not contain any preservatives and is therefore perishable. If you wrap the bread in a vacuum package after cooling down, you will be able to keep it for a few days. Of course you can also freeze the bread.

PROBLEMS WHICH MIGHT OCCUR

Several factors can cause your bread to fail. In the following list you will fi nd a series of problems and possible solutions.

THE BREAD HAS CAVED IN

If your bread looks caved in, this means the dough you made was too moist. Try adding a smaller quantity of water. When you use preserved fruits or vegetables, please make sure they have been soaked and thoroughly dried beforehand. You could also try using a lighter variety of fl our. If your bread caves in, this could also be the result of over-rising. The dough has risen to an extent it could not cope with. In this case, try adding a little less yeast, 1 or 2 gr. THE CENTRE OF THE BREAD IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY BAKED This may be due to the type of fl our you used, often too heavy varieties such as rye fl our or wholemeal fl our. Try to program an extra kneading process when using these types of fl our. As soon as the bread maker has terminated the fi rst kneading process, you press stop. Next, you reprogram the bread maker and press start: the appliance 53B3956 will start kneading again, a larger quantity of air has now been absorbed by the dough. You could also try selecting the dark crust colour, because this slightly increases the baking temperature.

THE BREAD HAS RISEN TOO MUCH

If your bread rises higher than it ought to, you have used too much yeast. Please check whether you have used the right quantity and the right type of yeast. Too much sugar can over activate the yeast. Try reducing the dose of sugar and do not use too much dried fruits or honey, which equally contain a lot of sugar. Try using 10 to 20 ml less water. Do bear in mind that a lower degree of humidity could brake the activity of the yeast. Sometimes over-rising can also be caused by fl our that was grinded too fi ne. These varieties of fl our do not require an equally active yeast as heavier varieties do.

THE BREAD IS TOO DRY

Try using less fl our or add a tablespoonful of liquid. While your bread maker is kneading fairly heavy dough or when you have programmed longer kneading times, the appliance may occasionally tremble a bit. Therefore you must make sure your bread maker is always positioned on a stable surface, not too near to another object and not too close to the edge of the kitchen sink unit.

If you are using grinded fl our or wholemeal fl our, your bread tends to be somewhat fl atter. If your bread does not rise at all, you need to check the yeast. Have you thought of adding the yeast? If the bread has only risen a little bit, the yeast you used may have been too old. Too hot or too cold water also brakes the yeast’s activity. Please also verify whether you have not used too much salt.

ERROR ON THE DISPLAY

If you see the indication “H:HH” appearing on the display after you have pressed the start button, this means that your bread maker has not suffi ciently cooled down yet. It is necessary to allow your appliance to cool down for another 10 to 20 minutes, with its lid open. If the error “E:EE” appears on the display after you have pressed the start button, your bread maker needs to be serviced by a qualifi ed technician. Please contact your store.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY IS THE HEIGHT OF THE BREAD DIFFERENT ON EVERY OCCASION? The shape and the height of the bread depend on the ambient temperature, the quality 54B3956 and the quantity of the used ingredients. WHY DOESN’T THE BREAD RISE? You have forgotten to add the yeast or you have added an insuffi cient quantity, or the yeast you have used is too old. HOW DOES THE TIME DELAY FUNCTION WORK? You must not program this function for a period of time under 3 hours or over 13 hours. The time delay function requires minimum 58 minutes to deal with all the necessary stages of the process. You can use the program “fast”, but not with the time delay function. Ingredients may go bad if they are kept in the breadmaker for more than 13 hours without being baked. WHY CAN’T I ADD EXTRA INGREDIENTS TO THE BASIC INGREDIENTS? For the dough or the bread to have the right shape and to rise in the appropriate manner, dried raisins and similar ingredients need to be added at a later stage. Moreover, such ingredients may be damaged in the kneading process. They could also get sticky or get distributed unevenly throughout the dough. You should not add these ingredients until you have heard the fi rst bleep. Do not add any ingredients when you are using the “fast” or “speed” programs. You can not program the time delay function when you have selected the “dough” program. CAN I USE FRESH MILK INSTEAD OF WATER? Yes, as long as you do not alter the total quantity of liquid. For example: if the recipe says you need 210 ml of water, you could replace this quantity by 210 ml of milk or, equally, by 105 ml of water and 105 ml of milk. The total quantity of liquid has to be maintained. GENERAL REMARKS

1. SOMETIMES THE CRUST HAS A LIGHT COLOUR, SOMETIMES IT IS

DARKER: You can adjust the crust colour yourself, by using the “crust” button. This button allows you to select a “light”, “medium” or “dark” crust colour.

2. WHY HAS MY BREAD RISEN AS HIGH AS THE LID OF THE BREAD MAKER ?

You have used either too much sugar or too much yeast or both. This has caused a larger amount of gas bubbles within the bread.

3. WHY DOESN’T THE PROGRAM “FAST” ALLOW ME TO BAKE A BREAD WITH

FRUITS? With this program, the time for fermenting is shorter. When you add more ingredients, 55B3956 this will also effect the baking time and the result will be disappointing.

4. WHEN MAKING HEAVIER TYPES OF BREAD, THE APPLIANCE SEEMS TO

KNEAD SLOWER. This is perfectly normal and does in no way damage your bread maker. We do however advise you to add a tablespoonful of liquid, when baking heavier bread. BEFORE TAKING YOUR APPLIANCE BACK TO THE STORE

YOUR BREAD KEEPS TURNING OUT BAD

We recommend that you try and bake one bread on the basis of a ready-made bread mix. These types of mixtures only require that you add some water and butter. If that works and the result is to your liking, this means there is nothing wrong with your bread maker. Please check the freshness of the ingredients used.

THE APPLIANCE DOESN’T WORK

Is your bread maker activated and have you plugged it in properly? The temperature may be too high. SOMETIMES SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE HOLES Perhaps you spilled some of the ingredients on the heating element. THE BREAD HAS CAVED IN / THE CENTRE OF THE BREAD IS TOO MOIST You have left the bread in the bread pan for too long after the baking was fi nished. Or you have used too much water or too much yeast. THE TOP OF THE BREAD IS CRACKED AND HAS A BROWNISH COLOUR You used too much fl our, yeast or sugar. THE TOP LAYER OF THE BREAD IS STILL COVERED WITH FLOUR You didn’t use enough water. MY BREAD IS TOO SMALL. You didn’t use enough fl our, yeast, sugar or water. You used wholemeal fl our or a type of fl our containing chemical yeast. You used the wrong type of yeast. You used fl our or yeast that had already gone bad.

YOUR BREAD IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY BAKED

You accidentally pressed the “stop” button after activating the bread maker. You left the lid open during the baking process.

YOUR BREAD IS BAKED TOO HARD

You used too much sugar. 56B3956 You selected the crust colour “dark”.
