• Do not exceed the quantities indicated by the recipes in the recipe book based on the various accessories.

• To make bread with smaller quantities than what is indicated in the recipe in the recipe book, it is recommended to select the "light" browning level to have a shorter baking time.

• Do not reduce the quantity of ingredients by more than 20% in order not to jeopardise the good outcome of the dough and the nal result. Accessory Ingredients and maximum quantities Bread container 500 g of flour/25 g fresh brewer's yeast or 8 g of lyophilised brewer's yeast or 12 g of baking powder for sweets Containers for ciabattas do not exceed a total of 350 g of flour Containers for bread rolls do not exceed a total of 250 g of flour PROGRAMS The bread maker has 20 different programs for kneading times, number of leavening phases and temperature conditions (during both leavening and baking). For the details of the various programs, refer to the recipe book enclosed. MIXING: During this phase, all programs emit 4 BEEPs two minutes before the end of mixing in order to add any additional ingredients. During this phase, the lid can be left open to control the process. LEAVENING: There are different leavening times, depending on the program. Keep the lid closed during leavening. TRANSFERRING THE DOUGH INTO THE CIABATTA AND BREAD ROLL CONTAINERS: The dough should only be transferred from the bread container to the ciabatta and bread roll containers for certain programs (no. 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 16). The appliance indicates the moment that the operation can be performed by emitting 10 BEEPs, then waiting for the next command: the ON light starts to flash. The appliance will beep again after 5 minutes.20

• Remove the bread container.

• Take out the dough and transfer it to the ciabatta or bread roll containers.

• Insert the containers into the guides of the rack, until the seats in the containers coincide with the raised sections in the guides [Fig L].

• Insert the rack in the baking chamber [Fig. M].

• Press the MENU button to restart the machine: the ON light becomes steady. The program starts additional leavening and continues automatically. NOTE: if the machine is not restarted within one hour after the 10 BEEPs, the program will stop and the initial program screen will appear on the display. To resume baking, set program no. 20. BLADE EXTRACTION: When making the bread, the mixing blades can be removed during the last leavening period: the exact moment for doing this is indicated in the Programs table in the recipe book, under the “blade extraction” column.

• Use the spatula to move the dough and remove the two blades. PROGRAM END Indicates the total recipe execution time at the various browning levels. DELAYED START WARNING! The delayed start should only be used for recipes that have already been tried out. The delayed start can be used with certain programs in order to have the bread ready up to 15 hours later. DO NOT use this function with perishable ingredients or gluten-free flours. The delayed start function is only active with programs no. 1, 3, 8, 10, 14.

• Place the ingredients in the bread container in this order: liquid ingredients, our, yeast, salt and sugar. The last three elements must not come into contact either with each other or with the water.

• Select the program, shape and baking level required.

• Press the + and - buttons consecutively to dene the max. hours/minutes after which the bread must be ready. Example: if it's 12:30 and you want the bread to be ready for 6pm, set 5:30. You can scroll through the numbers more quickly by pressing and holding the buttons.

• Press the START button. The MENU button indicator light will come on, and you will see an arrow in line with the word TIMER on the screen; the machine will remain in standby for the programmed time.

ALTERING THE BAKING TIME

The standard recipe time can be altered for certain programs, increasing or reducing the baking by 10 minutes. LONG LEAVENING WITH PRE-FERMENT - PROGRAM no.13:

• Place the ingredients of the pre-ferment (called biga or poolish) in the bread container, after dissolving the yeast thoroughly in water at room temperature.

• Select program no. 13 and the required browning level, then press START.

• The machine will knead the dough for 8 minutes: the result will be a fairly wet pre-ferment that must be left to rise for the necessary time - approximately 8 hours.

• When the pre-ferment has risen, add the other ingredients and then press the MENU button to begin21

the second kneading phase.

• The machine will knead the dough for 15 minutes.

• About halfway through this phase, check the consistency to make sure it's rm and springy; add our if too wet, or water if too dry. PIZZA DOUGH - PROGRAM no.18: The program activates the kneading phase followed by three leavening phases with brief kneading in between. There is no baking phase. To bake small pizzas, switch to program no.19. To bake one big pizza, carefully take the dough out of the container and place it on a baking tray. Add the toppings, and place in a hot oven. SMALL PIZZAS - PROGRAM no.19 This program uses the baking phase only. Transfer the dough (already prepared with program 18) from the bread container to the ciabatta containers, then add the required toppings.

• Select program no.19.

• Set the required baking time (from 10 to 60 minutes) using the + and - buttons.

• Press the START/STOP button: the baking phase will begin straight away. DOUBLE QUANTITY OF DOUGH FOR BREAD ROLLS AND CIABATTAS: If you want to make a double quantity of bread rolls or ciabattas, double the amount of the ingredients (but remember that the maximum quantity of flour is 500 g). DO NOT make a double quantity of cakes and desserts, as the baking powder starts reacting upon contact with the liquids so the mixture needs to be baked straight away.

• Put the ingredients in the bread container and start the rst phase of the program.

• When transferring the dough, put half of it in the ciabatta or bread roll containers and the other half in a container covered with a damp cloth and left in a cool place.

• Continue the set program to bake the dough.

• When the program has ended, use the ciabatta or bread roll containers again for the remaining dough. Select program no.19 and set the baking minutes indicated in the recipe, then start the baking phase. DOUBLE QUANTITY OF DOUGH FOR BREAD ROLLS AND CIABATTAS TO BE MADE LATER: If you want to bake the remaining dough later on, keep it in the fridge to stop the leavening process.

• Use program no.20, which includes a leavening phase to reactivate the dough before baking it.

• Use the SHAPE button to select the type of container (ciabatta or bread rolls), altering the baking time if necessary for the recipe and the required result. NOTE: this program only works when the machine is completely cold.22

When using the bread maker, celiacs must respect the hygiene rules normally recommended for handling gluten-free foods. Never use the machine for recipes that include glutens because the flour, which rises up when kneading, can contaminate the baking chamber and the lid. NEVER place the machine on paper/cardboard or plastic surfaces. NEVER place paper, cardboard or plastic inside the machine or on the lid. Let the machine cool down completely if you want to run two baking cycles.

• Insert the bread container into the baking chamber. If this operation is dicult, a gear is probably not engaged at the bottom of the container: in this case, rotate the mixer blade slightly and try again.

• Insert the 2 mixing blades in the respective pins, pushing them down fully [Fig. C].

• Insert the power cable plug into the power socket.

• Move the on/o switch to the ON position [Fig. D]; after a BEEP, program 1 appears on the display.

• Press the MENU button several times to select the program; the program number and duration will appear on the display [Fig. E].

• Press the SHAPE button to select the BREAD ROLL or CIABATTA shape; the selected icon appears on the display. For programs with a loaf shape, the selection is automatic [Fig. F].

• Press the BROWNING button to select the required browning level - LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK; the selected icon appears on the display [Fig. G].

• With programs 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 20, the baking time can be varied by pressing the + or – button to add or take o 10 minutes [Fig. H].

• Press the START/STOP button to start the machine: the operating light comes on and the baking process starts. The remaining time is updated on the display [Fig. I].

• Insert the ingredients in the bread container, following the order indicated in the recipe.

• During the process, an arrow appears on the display that indicates the current phase: mixing, leavening, baking and end of program. To stop any active program, press the START/STOP button for a few seconds: the indicator light on the MENU button will switch off. BAKING: Note: it is important not to open the lid during the baking phase. When the bread is done, the machine will beep four times: the ON light turns off and the initial screen appears on the display. The indicator on the display shows the END phase.

• Turn o the appliance by moving the on/o switch to the OFF position [Fig. D].

• Disconnect the power cable plug from the power socket. Taking out the bread container:

• Hold the lid still with one hand, to make sure it doesn't close on your hands.

• Using gloves, grip the handle and then move it backwards and forwards to take out the container.

• Use a silicone or wooden spatula to detach the bread from the walls of the container, to avoid scratching them.

• Bring the slots under the container into line with the blades (this will make it easier to remove the bread).24

• Tip the container over and strike it on the base to remove the bread.

• If the mixing blades are still in the bread, remove them by inserting the relative hook in the hole in the blade and levering slightly on the wall inside the hole [Fig. N]. Taking out ciabattas or bread rolls:

• Using gloves, grip the handles of the support to take it out.

• Remove the ciabatta or bread roll forms from the support.

• Turn the forms upside down to take out the ciabattas or bread rolls.

• Clean any parts that come into contact with foodstus immediately as described in the chapter 'Cleaning and care'.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Always disconnect the appliance from the socket before cleaning or performing maintenance. WARNING! Risk of crushing. Remove the lid before any cleaning operation. WARNING! Risk of fire. Wait for the appliance to cool completely before storing it.

• Tilt the lid slightly and remove it from the slots [Fig. O].

• Clean the lid, the baking chamber and the heating element using a moist and well-wrung cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasives and do not pour in liquids.

• Clean the accessories according to the table indicated in the chapter Cleaning before using for the rst time.

• Wipe the motor unit with a dampened and thoroughly squeezed out sponge.

• Dry with a dry cloth.

The machine is provided with a protection that, in the case of a power failure (max. 15 minutes) keeps the memory active and guarantees that the recipe will be continued. USEFUL TIPS The cover can be kept open during kneading, to check the result. During the various leavening phases, the machine maintains the right temperature: the cover must therefore be kept closed. At the end of the program, the bread can be kept warm for one hour if it's left inside the machine with the lid closed. To learn how to use all the functions of the bread maker, to begin with you are advised to follow the recipes without altering the ingredients or quantities. In this way, you will get to know the various programs and accessories so it will then be easier to try out variations with ingredients to your own taste or more suitable for your own type of diet. It's a good idea to replace just one ingredient at a time (e.g. a different flour, oil instead of butter, etc.), so you can more easily note the difference compared with the original recipe you have already tried.25

If you want to change the brand of flour, or try out new flours, we suggest you use the recipe that's most similar in terms of ingredients (i.e. the one based on the flour you want to use) and required shape, then make your own personal changes. Dough using flours with gluten and brewer's yeast must be quite firm and elastic: after a few minutes of kneading, the gluten mesh begins to form and the dough becomes springy, detaching from the edges of the container (if you insert and then take out your finger, the dough will slip back into place). Dough made with gluten-free flours, on the other hand, isn't elastic and requires more water: the consistency of the end result will be similar to that of ice-cream. Check the consistency and add more water or flour if necessary. TROUBLESHOOTING Should one of the problems indicated occur, adopt the proposed solution: Problem Solution A selected program does not start. A delayed start was set. A selected program does not start and error E01 appears on the display. The machine is still hot because bread was just made. Wait for the machine to cool completely (approx. 1 hour). A selected program does not start and error E00 appears on the display. The room is too cold. Increase the room temperature. A program for bread rolls or ciabattas does not restart after the transfer. More than one hour passed after the 10 signalling BEEPS for the transfer. The program for poolish does not restart after adding the ingredients. More than 12 hours passed since the 10 signalling BEEPS for the program. Smoke is escaping the baking chamber. The dough came out of the container and touched the heating element. Turn off the machine, disconnect the socket from the power outlet and clean the baking chamber after the machine has cooled down completely. NEVER use water. The motor runs but mixing does not start and noise is heard during rotation. The mixing blades are not inserted. The bread container is not inserted properly. Stop the machine and push the container down firmly, fixing it tightly or insert the mixing blades. The bread container exits from its seat during mixing. Stop the machine and push the container down firmly, fixing it tightly. An error code appears on the display: EEE or HHH. Take the machine to an authorised Imetec service centre. Bread made with gluten-free flours doesn't rise very much. It's normal for bread, bread rolls or ciabattas made with naturally gluten-free flours to rise less than those made with a mixture of flours; this is due to the absence of thickening agents that support the structure of the bread, but does not jeopardise the correct leavening and baking in any way.26

The appliance packaging is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the environmental protection regulations. Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life. The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance consists of.
