How the Appliance Works
General Information
- The bread maker offers 12 fixed programmes and an individually adjustable programme with various setting options. There is also a baking programme that allows you to bake gluten-free bread for allergy sufferers.
- You can use the bread maker for time-shifted baking.
The appliance works fully automatically and is extremely user-friendly. Below you will find programme schedules and recipes for
• different types of bread,
- dough that can be used for other purposes,
- jam that the bread maker can cook.
Signal Tones
The appliance generates various signal tones:
| 1 long signal tone - | When the appliance is connected to the mains- When a programme is cancelled manually- At the end of the warming phase |
| 1 short signal tone Acknowledgement of a button press | |
| 5 signal tones in succession | - The display shows EE1. The temperature of the appliance is too high to start a new programme.- The display shows EE2. The temperature of the appliance is too low to start a new programme.- The display shows Err. There is an electronic error. |
| 10 signal tones in succession | The programme has ended. |
Delayed Programme Start
Almost all programmes can be started with a delay. However, please note the following:
• The maximum time setting is 13 hours.
- Do not use the time delay for recipes containing fresh ingredients such as milk, eggs, fruit, yoghurt, onions, etc.!
- The time delay is not suitable for gluten-free bread that is prepared with warm or hot water.
- Always stay in the vicinity. Malfunctions may occur that make it necessary to cancel the programme.
Example:
- Select the programme 6 CAKE with the button 📄. The display shows 3:00
- Press the button to set the time delay.
- The programme starts after the set time has elapsed.
- Start your baking programme with the button ▲.
- Press and hold the button to end the programme.
Programme Storage
In the event of a power failure, the appliance automatically resumes the programme when the power is switched back on within a few minutes. If the power supply is interrupted for a longer period, the bread maker must be restarted. This is only practical if the dough was still in the kneading phase when the programme was interrupted. If the bread was already baked, you must start the programme all over again!
Safety Function
After a baking programme has ended, the appliance must cool down before you can start a new baking or kneading programme (exception: programmes 8 BAKE and 10 JAM).
The appliance warns you with 5 beeps and shows the message EE1 on the display if the temperature inside the appliance is still too high.
- Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
- Remove the baking tin with the help of oven mitts.
- Leave the lid open and wait until the appliance has cooled down. This time varies depending on the previous use.
Using the Appliance
CAUTION: Fire Hazard!
- Observe the quantities of ingredients in the recipes. Never add more ingredients than specified in the recipe.
- Make sure that the weight of the ingredients does not exceed 700 g or 1000 g.
-
Never add ingredients to the baking tin at the start of the baking process if it is still in the appliance.
-
To prevent the dough from collapsing, the lid must always be kept closed during rising and baking.
- The programme can be paused using the button ☐. Press the button again to continue the programme.
- To end a programme, press and hold button ▲ long signal tone confirms the end of the programme.
1. Remove the Baking Tin
Open the lid. Turn the baking tin a little anti-clockwise until it is unlocked. Pull the baking tin out by its handle. Place it on a level work surface.
2. Insert the Dough Hook
2.1 Grease the dough hook. This makes it easier to remove the dough hook from the finished bread.
2.2 Place the semicircular opening of the dough hook over the drive shaft in the baking tin. The dough hook must be flush with the base of the baking tin.
3. Pour in the Ingredients
Make sure that the ingredients are added to the baking tin in the order specified in the recipe.
4. Inserting the Baking Tin
Place the baking tin with the ingredients on the base inside the appliance. Turn the tin clockwise as far as it will go. Then close the lid of the bread maker.
5. Ingredients Function
Depending on the recipe, various ingredients should only be added during the kneading process.
Your bread maker has a special function for this.
There is an ingredient dispenser on the back of the appliance. This is filled before the programme starts and opens automatically to add the ingredients to the dough.
5.1 Press the catch on the handle of the ingredient dispenser.
5.2 Pull out the ingredient dispenser and add your ingredients.
5.3 Push the ingredient dispenser all the way back in so that it is secured by the lock.
5.4 Select the ingredient function with the button 📄 and start the baking programme.
- Not all programmes support the ingredient function.
6. Starting the Programme
6.1 Insert the mains plug into a socket.
6.2 Select the desired programme with the button 📄.
6.3 Select the desired bread weight using button
6.4 Select a light, medium or dark browning of the bread crust with button ☐
6.5 You can set the time using button △
6.6 If you have added ingredients to the ingredient dispenser, use the button ☑ select the ingredient function.
6.7 Press the button ▲The flashing colon indicates the start of the programme.
7. Letting the Dough Rise
After the last kneading process, the bread maker generates the optimum temperature for the dough to rise. It heats up to 25^ C – 30^ C if the room temperature is below this.
8. Baking
The bread maker regulates the baking temperature automatically. If the bread is still too light at the end of the baking programme, you can bake it again in programme 8 Bake.
9. Keep Warm
(Except for programmes 7 DOUGH, 10 JAM and 11 MIX STIR)
When the baking process is complete, a signal tone sounds several times to indicate that the bread can be removed. At the same time, the warming phase of one hour begins. The display shows 0:00 next to the programme number. The colons : are flashing. After one hour, a signal tone sounds. The keep warm phase is complete. The display will show the start screen. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
10. Re-bake
10.1 If the appliance is still in the "keep warm" phase, press the button 🔊 until you hear a signal tone.
10.2 Start the programme 8 Bake.
10.3 When the desired browning is achieved, end the programme by pressing button
10.4 Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
11. End of the Programme Sequence
Have a rack ready and remove the mains plug from the socket. At the end of the programme, remove the baking tin with oven mitts. Turn the baking tin over and, if the bread does not fall onto the rack immediately, move the dough hook back and forth from below several times until the bread falls out.

CAUTION:
Do not knock the baking tin onto the table or an edge. The baking tin could become deformed.
12. Remove the Dough Hook from the Bread
If the dough hook gets stuck in the bread, use the hook skewer provided as follows.
Insert it into the semicircular opening of the dough hook on the underside of the bread while it is still warm. Tilt the hooked skewer at the bottom edge of the dough hook, preferably at the point where the wing of the dough hook is located. Then carefully pull the dough hook with the hooked skewer upwards. You can see where the wing of the dough hook is located in the bread. You can cut into the bread there slightly and then pull out the dough hook.
Cleaning

WARNING:
• Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket before cleaning and wait until the appliance has cooled down.

WARNING:
- Never immerse the appliance or the baking tin in water for cleaning. Do not fill the baking chamber with water. This could lead to an electric shock or fire.

CAUTION:
- Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive objects.
-
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
-
Remove all ingredients and crumbs from the lid, housing and baking chamber with a damp cloth.
- Wipe the outside of the baking tin with a damp cloth. The inside of the tin can be rinsed out with water and a little washing-up liquid.
- The baking tin is non-stick coated. It is normal for the colour of the coating to change over time, but this does not affect its function.
- Both the dough hook and the drive shaft should be cleaned immediately after use. If the dough hook remains in the mould, it will be difficult to remove later. In this case, pour warm water into the container for approx. 30 minutes. The dough hook can then be removed.
- Wipe all parts dry with a cloth.
Storage
- Before putting the appliance away for storage, make sure that it has completely cooled down, cleaned and dried. Store the appliance with the lid closed.
• We recommend storing the appliance in its original packaging if you do not intend to use it for a longer period of time.
• Always store the appliance out of the reach of children in a well-ventilated and dry place.
Questions about Baking
Why Does the Bread Stick to the Baking Tin after Baking?
Leave the bread to cool in the baking tin for approx. 10 minutes. Turn the baking tin over and move the kneading drive (the shaft) slightly back and forth. Grease the dough hook a little before using it again.
How Can Holes in the Bread
(Caused by Dough Hooks) be Prevented?
You can remove the dough hook with floured fingers before the dough rises for the last time. (Depending on the programme, the display should still show a total running time of approx. 1:30 hours). If you do not wish to do this, use the hook spike after baking. If you are careful, you can avoid a larger hole.
Why Does the Dough Run Over the Baking Tin When Rising?
This happens especially when using wheat flour, which rises better due to its higher gluten content.
Remedy:
a) Reduce the amount of flour and equalise the other ingredients. The finished bread will still have a large volume.
b) Add 1 tablespoon of heated, liquid margarine to the flour.
Why Does the Bread Rise but Collapse During Baking?
a) If a "V"-shaped hollow forms in the centre of the bread, the flour lacks gluten, which is due to the grain containing too little protein (occurs in rainy summers), or the flour is too moist.
Remedy:
Add 1 tablespoon of wheat gluten to the bread dough for every 500 g of flour.
b) If the bread collapses in a funnel shape in the centre, this may be because
- the water temperature was too high,
- too much water was used,
- the flour lacks gluten,
- draughts caused by opening the lid during baking.
When Can the Lid of the Bread Maker be Opened During the Baking Process?
Basically, this is always possible when the kneading process is running. During this time, you can add small amounts of flour or liquid if necessary.
If you want the bread to have a certain appearance after baking, proceed as follows:
- Before the final rise (In the display, depending on the programme, the time must still be approx. 1:30 hrs.), carefully and briefly open the lid and score the forming bread crust with a sharp, preheated knife, for example, or sprinkle grains on top, or coat the bread crust with a starch / water mixture so that it shines after baking. You can open the bread maker for the last time during the specified time period, otherwise the bread will collapse.
What is the Meaning of the Flour Type Numbers?
The lower the type number, the less fibre the flour contains and the lighter it is.
What is Wholemeal Flour?
Wholemeal flour can be made from all types of grain, including wheat. The term “wholemeal” means that the flour is milled from the whole grain and has a correspondingly higher fibre content. Wholemeal wheat flour is therefore slightly darker in colour. However, wholemeal bread does not necessarily result in dark bread, as is usually assumed.
What Are the Things to Bear in Mind When Using Rye Flour?
Rye flour does not contain any gluten and bread made from it therefore hardly rises. Therefore, a “RYE WHOLE GRAIN BREAD” must be made with sourdough to ensure compatibility.
The dough will only rise if at least 14 of the specified amount of rye flour, which does not contain gluten, is replaced with type 550 flour.
What is Gluten in Flour?
The higher the type number, the less gluten the flour contains and the less the dough rises. Flour with the type number 550 contains the highest proportion of gluten.
What Different Types of Flour Are There and How Are They Used?
a) Corn, rice and potato flour is particularly suitable for people with gluten allergies or those who suffer from "sprue" or "coeliac disease".
b) Spelt flour is free from chemicals, as spelt, which grows on very poor soils, does not absorb fertilisers. Spelt flour is therefore particularly suitable for allergy sufferers. All recipes using the flour types 405, 550 or 1050 can be used, as described in the instruction manual.
c) Millet flour is particularly suitable for people with multiple allergies. All recipes using flour types 405, 550 or 1050 can be used as described in the instruction manual.
d) Durum wheat flour (DURUM) is particularly suitable for baguette breads due to its consistency and can be replaced by durum wheat semolina.
How is Fresh Bread Better Tolerated?
If you add one mashed boiled potato to the flour and knead it in, fresh bread is better tolerated.
In What Proportions Should Leavening Agents be Used?
For both yeast and sourdough, which are available to buy in different quantities, you must follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging and set the quantity in relation to the amount of flour used.
What Can be Done if the Bread Tastes of Yeast?
a) Reduce the amount of sugar, if sugar has been used. However, the bread will then also be slightly lighter in colour.
b) Add ordinary brandy vinegar to the water. For a small loaf = 1 ½ tablespoons, for a large loaf 2 tablespoons.
c) Replace the water with buttermilk or kefir, which is possible for all recipes and is recommended for the freshness of the bread
Why Does Bread from the Oven Taste Different to Bread from the Bread Maker?
This is due to the difference in moisture: in the oven, the bread is baked much drier due to the larger baking space. Bread from the bread maker is moister.

Notes on the Recipes
Ingredients
As each ingredient plays a specific role in the success of the bread, measuring is just as important as adding the ingredients in the correct order.
- The most important ingredients, such as liquid, flour, salt, sugar and yeast (both dry and fresh yeast can be used) influence the successful result when preparing dough and bread. Therefore, always use the right quantities in the right proportions.
- Use the ingredients lukewarm if you are preparing the dough immediately. If you want to start the programme after a delay, the
ingredients should be cold so that the yeast does not ferment too early.
- Margarine, butter and milk only affect the flavour of the bread.
- Sugar can be reduced by 20% to make the crust lighter and thinner without affecting the other baking results. If you prefer a softer and lighter crust, you can replace the sugar with honey.
- Gluten, which is produced in the flour during kneading, provides the structure of the bread. The ideal flour mix consists of 40 % wholemeal flour and 60 % white flour.
- If you want to add wholemeal grains, soak them overnight beforehand. Reduce the amount of flour and liquid accordingly (up to 15 less).
- Sourdough is indispensable when using rye flour. It contains lactic and acetic acid bacteria that make the bread fluffy and finely leavened. You can make it yourself, but this takes some time. This is why we use concentrated sourdough powder in the recipes below, which is available to buy in packets of 15 g (for 1 kg of flour). The instructions in the recipes ( 12 , 34 or 1 sachet) must be adhered to. Smaller quantities will cause the bread to crumble.
- If you use sourdough powder in a different concentration (100 g packet for 1 kg of flour), you must reduce the amount of flour by approx. 80 g or adjust it according to the recipe.
- Liquid sourdough, which can be bought in sachets, can also be used. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the quantity. Pour the liquid sourdough into the measuring jug and top up with the amount of liquid specified in the recipe.
- Wheat sourdough, which can also be bought dried, improves the texture, freshness and flavour of the dough. It is milder than rye sourdough.
-
Bake sourdough bread in the BASIC or WHOLE WHEAT programme so that it can rise and bake properly. Baking ferment replaces sourdough and is purely a matter of taste. You can bake very well with it in the bread maker.
-
Add wheat bran to the dough if you want a particularly fibre-rich and fluffy bread. Use 1 tablespoon for 500g of flour and increase the amount of liquid by 12 tablespoon.
- Wheat gluten is a natural helper made from grain protein. It makes the bread looser, has a better volume, collapses less often and is easier to digest. The effect is particularly noticeable in wholemeal baked goods and baked goods made from self-ground flour.
- You can add bread spice to all our mixed breads. The quantity depends on your taste and the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pure lecithin powder is a natural emulsifier that increases the baking volume, makes the crumb more tender and softer, and prolongs the shelf life.
Adjusting the Ingredients
If you increase or decrease the ingredients, please note that the proportions must correspond to the original recipe. To achieve a perfect result, the following basic rules for adjusting the ingredients must be observed:
- Liquids/Flour: The dough should be soft (not too soft), slightly sticky but not stringy. A ball results with light doughs. This is not the case with heavy doughs, such as wholemeal rye or grain bread. Check the dough 5 minutes after the first kneading. If it is still too moist, add flour until the dough has the right consistency. If the dough is too dry, knead in a spoonful of water.
- Replacing liquid: If you are using ingredients in a recipe that contain liquid (e.g. cream cheese, yoghurt, etc.), the amount of liquid must be reduced accordingly. If you are using eggs, beat them into the measuring beaker and top up with the liquid to the prescribed amount.
- If you live at a high altitude (750 metres or more), the dough will rise more quickly. The yeast can be reduced by 14 to 12 teaspoon in these areas to prevent excessive rising. The same applies to areas with particularly soft water.
Adding and Measuring the Ingredients and Quantities
- Always add the liquid first and the yeast last. To prevent the yeast from rising too quickly (especially when using the timer), avoid contact between the yeast and the liquid.
- Always use the same measuring units when measuring, i. e. use either the measuring spoons supplied with the bread maker or the spoons you use in your household to measure out tablespoons and teaspoons.
- You should weigh out the grams to ensure accuracy.
- You can use the measuring cup supplied for the millilitre measurements.
$$ \begin{array}{l} \text { tbs } = \text { tablespoon levelled (or measuring spoon large) } \ \mathrm{tsp} = \text { teaspoon levelled (or measuring spoon small) } \ g = \text { gram } \ \mathrm{ml} = \text { millilitre } \ \begin{array}{l} \text { packet } = \text { packet of dry yeast containing 7 g for 500 g of flour } \ \quad - \text { equivalent to 21 g of fresh yeast } \end{array} \ \end{array} $$
The abbreviations in the recipes mean:
Bread Weights and Volume
- You will notice that the weights of pure white bread are lower than those of wholemeal bread. This is due to the fact that white flour rises more and therefore has its limits.
- The actual weight of the bread depends very much on the humidity that prevails during preparation.
- All breads with a predominantly wheat content achieve a larger volume and exceed the edge of the baking tin in the highest weight
category after the final rise. However, they do not overflow. The bulge of bread above the edge of the baking tin is therefore slightly less browned than the bread in the baking tin.
Gluten-free Bread (for Allergy Sufferers)
- To ensure that the bread is made from gluten-free flour, do not use the time delay function, even if this is possible in the programme. Gluten-free flours require warm or hot liquid to swell. The programme must therefore be started immediately.
- The crust of gluten-free breads does not brown as much as breads containing gluten. We recommend setting the browning level to dark when baking. You can also mix an egg yolk with sweet or sour cream and spread it on the bread with a remaining programme time of 1:15.
Baking Results
- The baking result depends in particular on the local conditions (soft water – high humidity – high altitude – nature of the ingredients, etc.). For this reason, the recipe details are guidelines that may need to be adapted. You can find more recipes in recipe books or on the Internet. You can also use baking mixes.
- If one or two recipes don't turn out right first time, don't lose heart. Try to find out the cause and try different proportions, for example.
- If the bread is too light after baking, you can bake it again immediately in the programme 8 Bake.
Recipe Information for the Bread Maker
The recipes are designed for different sized loaves. In some programmes, a distinction is made between the weights.
CAUTION:
- Adapt the recipes to the respective weight.
- Make sure that the weight of the ingredients does not exceed 700 g or 1000 g.
