About This Breadmaker
- It has three settings to make a small 450g (1Lb,) medium 680g (1.5lb) or large 900g (2lb) loaf. N.B. Weights are approximate and depend on recipe.
Kneading Blade
- Clean the blade every time after use, ensure the blade rotates freely on the spindle before each use, you can add a little sunflower oil to the joint before putting it back into the pan. This will then be ready for next use.
NOTE: Model 48319 has a drop down blade whereas models 48320 and 48321 have a static kneading blade.
Programme Number Descriptions
1 Basic white and brown (2:51 - 3:00) For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisins.
2 Wholewheat (3:32 - 3:40) For the baking of bread containing significant amounts of wholewheat. This setting has longer preheat time to allow the grain to soak up the water and expand. It is not advised to use the delay timer as this can produce poor results.
3 Sweet (2:35 - 2:45) For the baking of sweet type bread which gives a crisper crust than on basic setting. The crisper crust is produced by the sugar caramelising.
4 Sandwich (2:55 - 3:00) This is to bake light texture bread but with a softer and thicker crust.
5 French (3:30 - 3:50) For the baking of light weight bread such as French bread which has a crisper crust and light texture.
6 Dough (1:30) This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the bread. Remove the dough and shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not exceed 1kg (2lb) of combined ingredients.
7 Jam (1:20)
Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits and marmalade. Do not increase the quantity or allow the recipe to boil over the pan into the baking chamber. Should this happen, stop the machine immediately. Remove the pan carefully, allow to cool a little and clean thoroughly.
8 Bread mixes (2:30)
For preparation of approximately a 1.5lb loaf, using a packet of shop bought bread mix. These mixes usually come in two varieties: 'Just add water' and 'Just add flour and water'.
9 Speciality (2:50)
The bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a more moist and dense texture. These breads do not use bread flour.
10 Gluten Free (2:35)
Gluten free breads are yeast leavened breads where gluten (a protein part of the wheat/oats/barley/rye) is removed. People who cannot tolerate gluten in their diet (known as Coeliacs), can obtain gluten free bread mix on prescription. It is found in most high street chemists and health food stores but can be expensive.
11 Fastbake I (1:10)
For preparation of a 1.5lb white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture more moist.
12 Fastbake II (1:15)
For preparation of a 2lb white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture more moist.
13 Extra bake (1:00)
This setting is bake only and can be used to increase the baking time on selected settings. This is especially useful to help 'set' jams and marmalade. When started the default time is 1 hour (1:00) minimum and counts down in 10 minute intervals. You will have to manually switch this off by pressing the stop button, when you have completed the Extra bake process. It is advised that you check the condition of the bread or jam after 10 minutes and at 10 minute intervals. Pressing +increases the time in increments of 10 minutes. When selecting Extra
bake straight after another program, if the message H:HH is displayed, open the lid, remove the pan and allow to cool for 10 minutes. When cool, replace the baking pan and its contents, set program and press start.
14 Pizza dough (0:50)
This setting can be used to mix plain or flavoured pizza dough, as well as fresh pasta dough. Once the programme is complete, the dough can be removed from the machine and shaped in to pizza bases to be cooked in the oven, or cut in to pasta to be boiled.
15 Quick (1:40)
For white bread that is required in a shorter time. Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a dense texture.
16 Homemade I
This setting allows you to alter the amount of time your bread is kneaded, risen and cooked for, to enable you to create your own perfect loaf. The Homemade function is for experienced breadmakers who understand how these processes affect bread and also for more inexperienced users who wish to use trial and error to create a truly individual loaf.
The breadmaker will automatically remember the settings you alter so you don't have to remember them yourself. Once you have used either of the Homemade programmes, when you select them again, your previous settings will be shown. These can then be altered or used again.
17 Homemade II
See Homemade I for details.
18 Cake* (1:10)
This breadmaker can also be used to bake a selection of cakes. The process is as simple as making bread; just follow the recipes provided on page 24. Alternatively you can also use the machine to make cakes from a cake mix where all you need to do is add water. In this instance, you should ensure the mixture is combined with the water before adding it to the machine.
19 Dessert\* (2:50)
This setting allows you to make other desserts as well as cakes in your breadmaker. The process is again straightforward and simple; just follow the recipes carefully on page 25.
* Only available on models 48319 and 48320
Before First Use
Before first use, please take a few minutes to read this instruction book and to find a place to keep it handy for reference. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions.
1 Carefully unpack the breadmaker and remove all packaging materials.
2 Remove any dust that may have accumulated during packing.
3 Wipe the outside surface of the breadmaker with a clean, damp cloth. Wash the baking pan and kneading blade (see care and cleaning page 9.)
The bread pan is non-stick coated. Do not use scouring pads or any abrasives on any part of the breadmaker.
4 For first time use oil, butter or margarine to grease the bread pan and bake empty for about 10 minutes (select the Extra bake programme).
5 Clean once more.
6 Place the kneading blade ⑨ on the shaft ⑩ in the baking pan ⑧.
NOTE: In manufacture it is necessary to lightly grease some parts of the appliance. This may result in the unit emitting some vapour when first used, this is normal.
Using Your Breadmaker
1. Take out the pan
Open the lid and remove the pan by lifting the handle, turning anticlockwise and lifting out. Place on the work surface. It is important that the pan is filled with ingredients outside the machine so that any accidental spillage is not ignited by the heating elements.
2. Attach the blade
If you have not already done so, attach the kneading blade to the shaft by pushing on.
3. Measure ingredients
Measure the ingredients required and add them all into the pan in the order listed. (See later section 'Measuring your ingredients'). When adding the yeast to the baking pan, take care that the yeast does not come into contact with the water or any other liquid, as it will start to activate immediately.
Ensure you use tepid water 21-28°C.
4. Put pan back in
Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker, turning clockwise to lock into place. Close the lid.
6. Fruit & Nut Dispenser
If you have selected a recipe that uses the fruit and nut dispenser, you should fill it now. Ingredients should be added as per the recipe instructions using the measuring cup provided. Please ensure that you do not overfill the dispenser as this may stop it from functioning.
If filling the dispenser with fruit, check that the fruit is separated before adding it. Failure to do so may result in the dispenser not functioning, or the fruit not being distributed evenly through the bread mixture. Ideally, fruit should be dusted with flour prior to being added to the dispenser to stop it from sticking together.
7. Plug in
Plug into the power supply. The breadmaker will automatically be set to program 1, 2lb loaf and medium crust.
Selecting the programme
To select a different programme, use the 'Increase' 21 and 'Decrease' 22 buttons until the programme number you want appears in the top left corner of the screen 11 – see page 6 for programme descriptions.
The cycle time of the selected programme will automatically appear on the screen 12.
The time is displayed in hours and minutes and begins to count down to zero once the programme is started.
Once you have selected your chosen programme, press the 'Accept/Start' button 23. The 'Loaf size' icon 15 will illuminate.
Selecting the Loaf Size
To select the loaf size, use the 'Increase' 21 and 'Decrease' 22 buttons.
There are 3 different size loaves which can be made, depending upon which programme you use.
The loaf size icons are:
| 1lb loaf(selected programmes) | |
| 1.5lb loaf | |
| 2lb loaf |
Please note that not all loaf sizes are available for all programmes. Only the loaf sizes available for the programme selected will appear.
Once you have selected your loaf size, press the 'Accept/Start' button 23. The 'Crust Setting' icon 16 will then illuminate.
Selecting Your Crust Setting
To select the crust setting, use the 'Increase' 21 and 'Decrease' 22 buttons.
You can choose from five different crust settings, the crust setting icons are:
| Very Light | |
| Light | |
| Medium | |
| Dark | |
| Very Dark |
Once you have selected your crust setting, press the 'Accept/Start' button 23. The 'Delay Indicator' icon 13 will then illuminate.
Using the Timer Delay
Once you have chosen the programme, loaf size and crust setting, you can either bake the loaf immediately or delay the loaf baking time to end in up to 12 hours time. Go to section 11 - 'Baking The Loaf' section to bake the loaf immediately.
NOTE: The timer cannot be used with the Fastbake, dough and jam programmes.
NOTE: Do not use this function with recipes that use perishable ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream or cheese.
To delay the loaf, use the 'Increase' 21 and 'Decrease' 22 buttons while the 'Delay Indicator' icon 13 is lit.
A single press of the 'Increase' ^21 button will add 10 minutes to the time. To scroll faster through the time press and hold the button. To decrease the time, use the 'Decrease' ^22 button.
The total time shown on the screen will include the baking time and delay. For example, if a loaf takes 3 hours to bake and you have delayed the start of baking for 5 hours, the screen will countdown from 8 hours with symbol 13 showing on the screen. When the baking starts, the 13 symbol will disappear as the delay has finished.
Filling the Fruit and Nut Dispenser\*
- If you have selected a recipe that uses the fruit and nut dispenser, you should fill it now. The dispenser should be filled with one cupful of dry ingredients using the measuring cup provided. Please ensure that you do not overfill the dispenser as this may stop it from functioning.
- If filling the dispenser with fruit, check that the fruit is separated before adding it. Failure to do so may result in the dispenser not functioning, or the fruit not being distributed evenly through the bread mixture. Ideally, fruit should be dusted with flour prior to being added to the dispenser to stop it
from sticking together.
* Only applies to model 48319 & 48320.

Slicing and Storing Bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated blade for even slices.
Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to three days. If weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator overnight.
For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer.
If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Since homemade bread has no preservatives it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into 1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or stuffing.
Care and Cleaning
1 Caution: To prevent electrical shock, unplug the unit before cleaning.
2 Wait until the breadmaker has cooled.
- IMPORTANT: Do not immerse or splash either the body or lid in any liquid as this may cause damage and/or electric shock.
3 Exterior: Wipe the lid and outer body of the unit with a damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge.
4 Interior: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the interior of the breadmaker.
5 Baking pan: Clean the baking pan with warm water, soap is not necessary. Avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Dry it thoroughly before placing it back in the baking chamber.
6 Fruit and nut dispenser: The dispenser is removed by lifting the right side first. Once the right side has been lifted, the whole dispenser may be removed. The dispenser should be cleaned using warm soapy water and a damp cloth/sponge. It should then be rinsed thoroughly and left to dry naturally. To replace the dispenser, ensure the left side is slotted in to

- Do not wash the baking pan, measuring cup, spoon or kneading blades in the dishwasher.
- Do not soak the baking pan for long periods as this could interfere with the working of the drive shaft.
- If the paddle becomes stuck in the bread pan, pour hot water over it and allow to soak for 30 minutes. This will enable you to remove the paddle more easily.
- Be sure the appliance is completely cooled before storing away.
Do not use Steel wool pads when cleaning.
Special care for the non-stick finish. Avoid damaging the coating. Do not use metal utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks. The coating may change colour after long use, this is only caused by moisture and steam and will not affect the performance of the unit or quality of your bread.
Ensure that the whole kneading blade which the shaft fits in to is cleaned thoroughly after use. After cleaning, add a drop of cooking oil
to the hole before returning the blade to the shaft. This will help prevent the blade from sticking.
- Keep all air vents and openings clear of dust.
Storing the Unit
Be sure to dry all parts before storing including wiping any moisture from the viewing window. Close the lid and do not store anything on top of the lid.
Getting Successful Results
1 Place all recipe ingredients into the baking pan so that yeast is not touching any liquid.
2 If you are using the machine on the Dough setting (programme 6), after the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the breadmaker, cover in a thin coating of sunflower oil and cover with greaseproof paper and a dry tea towel. The dough should then be left in a warm area free from draughts, for approximately 30 minutes or until it has roughly doubled in size.
3 Humidity can cause problems, therefore humidity and high altitudes require adjustments. For high humidity, add an extra tablespoon of flour if consistency is not right. For high altitudes, decrease yeast amount by approximately 1/4 teaspoon, and decrease sugar and/or water or milk slightly.
4 The DOUGH setting is great for the mixing, kneading and proofing (allowing dough to rise) of richer doughs like croissant dough. Use the breadmaker to prepare this dough so all you need to do is shape and bake it according to your recipe.
5 When recipes call for a 'lightly floured surface,' use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour on the surface. You may want to lightly flour your fingers or rolling pin for easy dough manipulation.
6 When you let dough ‘rest’ and ‘rise’ according to a recipe, place it in a warm, draught-free area. If the dough does not double in size, it may not produce a tender product.
7 If the dough you are rolling shrinks back, let it rest covered for a few minutes before rolling again.
8 Dough may be wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer for later use. Bring the dough to room temperature before using.
9 After 5 minutes of kneading, open the lid and check the dough consistency. The dough should form a soft, smooth ball. If too dry, add liquid. If too wet, add flour (1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time).
Measuring ingredients
The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately. It is extremely important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. Do not use normal kitchen teaspoons or tablespoons. The ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid and dry ingredients should be measured as follows:
Measuring cup
The cup is marked in various ‘volume measurement’ scales. The recipes in this book use the ‘cup’ volume which is based on the ‘American’ cup of 8 floz and is conveniently marked in 1/16 divisions.
- If you prefer to use weight (gms) as a measurement, fill and weigh the required number of cups and record this conversion.
ie: 2 cups = xx gms
3 cups = xxx gms
You must use a good quality set of accurate scales, we prefer to use the 'cup' measure for consistency and accuracy.
Liquid measurements
Use the cups provided B. When reading amounts, the measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat surface and viewed at eye level (not on an angle). The liquid level line must be aligned to the mark of measurement.
A ‘guesstimate’ is not good enough as it could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.
Dry measurements
Dry measurements (especially flours) must be done using the measuring cups provided. The measuring cups are based on the American standard 8 fluid oz cup - British cup is 10 fluid oz. Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and then once filled, levelling off with a knife C. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will pack the ingredients and you will end up with more than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless stated.
When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients (ie yeast, sugar, salt, powdered milk, honey, molasses) the small measuring spoon which is provided must be used. Measurements must be level, not heaped as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe D.
Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods with ease. This machine requires only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In basic cooking, normally ‘a pinch of this and a dash of that’ is fine, but not for breadmakers. Using an automatic breadmaker requires you accurately measure each ingredient for best results.
- Always add ingredients in the order they are listed in the recipe.
- Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do not use larger amounts.
Understanding Baking
It is often said that cooking is an art relying on the creativity of the chef, while baking bread is much more of a science. This means that the process of combining flour, water and yeast, results in a reaction that produces bread. You have to remember that when the ingredients combine with each other they produce a specific result. Read the following information carefully to gain a better understanding of the importance each ingredient plays in the breadmaking process.
Using the Right Flour
Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different by virtue of how they were grown, milled, stored, etc. You may find that you will have to experiment with different brands of flour to help you make that perfect loaf. Storage is also very important, as all flours should be kept in an airtight container.
All purpose flour/plain flour
All purpose flour is a blend of refined hard and soft wheat flours especially suitable for making cake.
This type of flour should be used for recipes in the cake/quick bread section.
Strong white flour/bread flour
Bread flour is a high gluten/protein flour that has been treated with conditioners that give dough a greater suitability for kneading. Bread flour typically has a higher gluten concentration than All purpose flour; however, depending on different milling practices, this may vary. Strong plain flour or bread flour are recommended for use with this breadmaker.
Wholewheat flour/ wholemeal flour
Wholewheat flour/wholemeal flour is milled from the entire wheat kernel which contains the bran and germ and makes it heavier and richer in nutrients than white flour. Breads made with this flour are usually smaller and heavier than white loaves. To overcome this wholewheat flour/wholemeal flour can be mixed with Bread flour or strong plain flour to produce a lighter textured bread.
Self-raising flour
Self-raising Flour contains unnecessary leavening ingredients that will interfere with bread and cake making. It is not recommended for use.
Bran
Bran (unprocessed) & Wheat Germ are the coarse outer portions of the wheat or rye grains separated from flour by sifting or bolting. They are often added in small quantities to bread for nutritional enrichment, heartiness and flavour. They are also used to enhance the texture of bread.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal comes from rolled or steel-cut oats. They are used primarily to enhance flavour and texture.
Other Ingredients
Yeasts (active dry yeast)
Yeast through a fermentation process produces gas (carbon dioxide) necessary to make the bread rise. Yeast must be able to feed on sugar and flour carbohydrates in order to produce this gas. Fast action granular yeast is used in all recipes that call for yeast. There are three different types of yeast available: fresh, traditional dry active, and fast action. It is recommended that fast action yeast be used. Fresh or compressed cake yeast is not recommended as they will produce poor results. Store yeast according to manufacturers instructions. Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date. Once a package or can of yeast is opened it is important that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated as soon as possible for future use. Often bread or dough, which fails to rise is due to stale yeast being used. The following test can be used to determine whether your yeast is stale and inactive:
1 Place half a cup of lukewarm water into a small bowl or cup.
2 Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the surface.
3 Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow to sit for 10 minutes undisturbed.
4 The mixture should foam and produce a strong yeast aroma. If this does not occur, discard mixture and start again with another packet of dried yeast.
Sugar
Sugar is important for the colour and flavour of breads. It is also food for the yeast as it is part of the fermentation process. Artificial sweeteners cannot be used as a substitute for sugar as the yeast will not react properly with them.
Salt
Salt is necessary to balance the flavour of breads and cakes, as well as for the crust colour that develops during baking. Salt also limits the growth of yeast so the amounts shown in the recipes should not be increased. For dietary reasons it may be reduced, however, your baking may suffer.
Liquids/milk
Liquids such as milk or a combination of powdered milk and water, can be used when making bread. Milk will improve flavour, provide a velvety texture and soften the crust, while water alone will produce a crispier crust. Some liquids call for juice (orange, apple, etc) to be added as a flavour enhancer. Note: For most recipes we suggest the use of dry (powdered) skimmed milk.
Eggs
Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread doughs and cakes.
Sunflower oil
‘Shortens’ or tenderises the texture of yeast breads. Butter or margarine can be used as a substitute. If butter or margarine is used direct from the refrigerator it should be softened first for easier blending during the mixing cycle.
Baking powder
Baking powder is a raising agent used in cakes. This type of raising agent does not require rising time before baking as the chemical reaction works when liquid ingredients are added.
Bicarbonate of soda
Bicarbonate of soda is another raising agent not to be confused or substituted for baking powder. It also does not require rising time before baking as the chemical reaction works during the baking process.
Bread Mixes
Use the Bread mix' setting. (programme 8)
Follow the information for bread mixes on the bread mix packet. There are two types of bread mixes currently available.
1 Just add water.
These mixes are complete and they have all the necessary ingredients provided, even the yeast. You only add water.
- IMPORTANT: Follow the packet instructions as some mixes contain more than the normal amount of yeast, which could over rise in the pan. Use 3 cups of mix maximum.
- These mixes are more prone to over-rising and collapsing when the weather is hot and humid. Since these mixes are complete, we cannot advise how to adjust, as with our own recipes. Bake in the coolest part of the day, use water between 21-28°C.
2 Just add flour and water
These mixes have the necessary ingredients in separate sachets.
Remember strong white bread flour is required. A packet of this mix will produce a 700g loaf, just over 1.5lb.
Ingredient Temperatures
All ingredients, including the machine and pan, and especially liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to room temperature 21^ C ( 70^ F). If ingredients are too cold, below 10^ C ( 50^ F), they will not activate the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above 40^ C ( 104^ F), may kill the yeast.
Glazing
Give your just baked bread a professional finish. Select one of the following special glazes to enhance your bread.
Egg glaze
Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water together, brush generously.
Note: this glaze is only for bread where the dough has been prepared in the breadmaker and is then being baked in the oven. The glaze should be applied when the dough is removed from the breadmaker. Do not apply this glaze to doughs in the breadmaker.
Melted butter crust
Brush melted butter over just baked bread for a softer, tender crust.
Milk glaze
For a softer, shiny crust, brush just baked bread with milk or cream.
Sweet icing glaze
Mix 1 cup sifted icing sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to make a glaze consistency and drizzle over raisin bread or sweet breads.
Poppy/Sesame/Caraway seed/Oatmeal
Sprinkle your choice of these seeds generously over just glazed bread.

Conversion Chart
Liquids, flour and others
We recommend that you use the cup provided for all recipes for consistency between brands and types of flour.
The cup provided is based on the American cup measurement of 8 Floz.
For people who prefer to use their own measuring utensils, alternative measurements are in millilitres (ml) and cubic centimetres (cc) for liquid measurement and grams (gm) for weight of flour, sugar and fruit.
Note: A good quality set of accurate kitchen scales with divisions and accuracy to 2 grams are required.
A measuring jug with divisions of 2 ml is required.
The tablespoon and teaspoon provided are required to measure the smaller quantities. A set of British standard spoons with ‘scrape’ level tops can be used.
Do not use a kitchen tablespoon or teaspoon as they are inaccurate.

F.A.Q.
Questions About General Performance and Operation.
Question 1
What should I do if the kneading blade comes out with the bread?
Remove it with a pair of plastic tongs before slicing the bread. Since the blade can be disconnected from the pan, it is not a malfunction if it comes out in your bread.
Question 2
Why does my bread sometimes have some flour on the side crust?
In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the corners of the baking pan. When this happens, it usually can be eaten or simply trim off that portion of the outer crust with a sharp knife.
Question 3
Why isn't the dough mixing? I can hear the motor running.
The Kneading Blade or baking pan may not be inserted properly. Make sure the pan is facing the right way and that it has ‘clicked’ and seated into the bottom of the breadmaker.
Question 4
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined earlier.
Question 5
Why can't I use the timer when baking with fresh milk?
The milk will spoil if left sitting in the machine too long. Fresh ingredients such as eggs and milk should never be used with the delayed timer feature.
Question 6
Why do I have to add the ingredients in a certain order?
This allows the breadmaker to mix the ingredients in the most efficient manner possible. It also serves to keep the yeast from combining with the liquid before the dough has started to mix, which is essential on the time delay.
Question 7
When setting the timer for morning, why does the machine make sounds late at night?
The machine must start operation when the time delay reaches the start time of the programme so that the bread will be ready. These sounds are made by the motor when kneading the dough. It is a normal operation, not a malfunction.
Question 8
The kneading blade is stuck in the bread pan. After baking how do I get it out?
The kneading blade may ‘stick’ in place after baking. Running warm or hot water over the blade should loosen it enough to be removed. If still stuck, soak in hot water for about 30 minutes.
Question 9
Can I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be washed by hand.
Question 10
What will happen if I leave the finished bread in the baking pan?
Whilst still in the breadmaker for the first hour after baking is complete the bread ‘keeps warm’ to prevent it becoming ‘soggy’. Leaving the bread in the breadmaker after the keep warm period may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of bread as excess steam (moisture) would not be able to escape. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack after baking to prevent this.
Question 11
Why did the dough only partially mix? Why didn't it mix completely?
The dough may be too heavy or dry. Also, the kneading blade or baking pan may not be inserted properly. Ingredients may have been added in the wrong order.
Question 12
Why didn't the bread rise?
The yeast could be bad, past it's sell by date or possibly no yeast was added at all. Also, if the mixing was not complete, rising problems could develop.
Question 13
What is the minimum and maximum time a cycle may be delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 13 hours including the total cycle time. For example, Setting 1 (basic small) has a cycle time of 3:20. This start is delayed by a maximum of 9:40. The minimum length of delay for each setting is 10 minutes. The delay clock increases and decreases in increments of 10 minutes.
Question 14
How do I know when to add raisins, nuts, etc. to the bread?*
There is a beeper tone to signal that you may add raisins, nuts, etc. during the second kneading cycle. Note: See ‘Baking cycle times’ chart for ‘Add nuts & raisins’ time. * Only applicable to model 48321 without fruit & nut dispenser.
In some cases, ingredients can be broken up during the initial kneading cycle. Each recipe indicates the best time to add fruit and nuts to the dough.
Question 15
Why does my bread comes out too moist? What can I do?
Humidity may affect the dough. Add an extra tablespoon of flour. Also, high altitude may have the same effect. Decrease the amount of yeast by 1/4 teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk slightly.
Question 16
Why do I get air bubbles at the top of the bread?
This can be caused by using too much yeast. Decrease the yeast by 1/4 tsp.
Question 17
Why does my bread rise and then collapse or crater?
The bread may be rising too much. To reduce the rate of rising, reduce the amount of yeast and/or increase the amount of salt.
Question 18
Can I use my favourite bread recipes (traditional yeast bread) in my bread machine?
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion of ingredients. Become familiar with the unit and make several loaves of bread before you
begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of 5 cups dry ingredients (that includes the total amount of flour, oats, oatmeal, bran). Use the recipes in this book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and oil/butter/margarine to use.
We advise creating your own bread recipes using the basic mode, then progress to the others, using the Baking cycle times chart as a guide.
Question 19
Is it important for ingredients to be at room temperature before adding them to the baking pan?
Yes, even when the delay timer is being used. (Water must be between 21^ C and 28^ C).
Question 20
Why do the loaves vary in height and weight? The whole wheat/wholewheat breads are always shorter. Am I doing something wrong?
No, it is normal for wholewheat and wholemeal breads to be shorter and denser than basic or French breads. Wholewheat and wholemeal flour are heavier than white bread flour, therefore they don't rise as much during the bread baking process. This is also true for bread containing fruit, nuts, oats and bran.
Question 21
Can I premix the yeast with water?
No, the yeast must be kept dry and put into the baking pan last, above the flour. This is especially important when the delay timer is being used.
Question 22
Why is there a large hole in the base of the bread?
This hole has been created by the kneading blade. Sometimes this hole is larger than normal. This is because the dough has rested to the side of the blade after the second kneading cycle - normal with bread makers. You could position the dough evenly in the base of the pan.

Difficult to Remove Bread From the Pan
The bread is sticking to the pan. The surface of the pan needs to be oiled before everyday use. Wash the pan in hot soapy water and thoroughly dry. Liberally coat the inner surface of the pan with oil, butter or margarine. Follow the guide on page 6, 'Using your breadmaker'. When the bread pan is removed from the machine after the baking programme allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a rack. Only slice the bread when fully cooled after 20-40 minutes.
Condensation in the Fruit and Nut Dispenser
Please note that if your machine has a fruit & nut dispenser, during the baking process, condensation will form on the inside of the dispenser. This is totally normal and does not affect the quality of the bread.

Bread Mixes (8)
Follow the information for bread mixes on the bread mix packet. Some brands of bread mixes recommend the use of the basic programme setting. Our bread mix programme (8) has been specially developed to achieve the best results from packet bread mix.
There are 2 types of bread mixes currently available.
1 Just add water.
These mixes are complete and they have all the necessary ingredients provided, even the yeast. You only add water.
- IMPORTANT: Follow the packet instructions as some mixes contain more than the normal amount of yeast, which could over rise in the pan. Use 3 cups of mix maximum.
- These mixes are more prone to over-rising and collapsing when the weather is hot and humid. Since these mixes are complete, we cannot advise how to adjust, as with our own recipes. Bake in the coolest part of the day, use water between 21-28°C.
2 Just add flour and water
These mixes have the necessary ingredients in separate sachets.
Remember strong white bread flour is required. A packet of this mix will produce a 700g (1.5 lb.)

Recipes for Gluten free (10)
Gluten free breads are yeast leavened breads, where Gluten a protein part of the wheat (also found in Oats, Barley and Rye) is removed.
People who cannot tolerate Gluten in their diet (known as Coeliacs) can obtain this flour on prescription. It is found in most high street chemists and health food stores, it is expensive!
Contact the Morphy Richards Helpline (0844 871 0944) for further recipes when available.
The bread is excellent on the day it is made, but with all Gluten free breads when one day old or more it will need ‘refreshing’. 2 slices placed in a microwave for 10-15 seconds will usually do this. Any remaining fresh bread can be frozen for storage. To store Gluten free bread (or any bread) slice the bread, re-assemble the slices back together, wrap the assembled loaf in aluminium foil and place it in a plastic bag. Store in the freezer until required. The slices will ‘snap’ apart when required and quickly thaw, use the microwave if required.
Due to the nature of gluten free dough, it may be necessary to help ensure the ingredients are mixed correctly during the first kneading process.
To do this, open the lid during the first kneading process (when the icon is displayed on screen) and scrape any unmixed ingredients which may have become stuck to the side of the baking pan down in to the mixture.
Do this using a wooden or plastic spatula to avoid damaging the non-stick coating on the pan.

Recipes for Cake\* (18)
Important
The cakes produced in this breadmaker will not rise to fill the pan completely, they will be approximately 55mm (2") tall. The standard cake is a Madeira type which is moist, rich and dense in texture. Adjustments to the recipe may be required for personal taste - less butter and sugar to reduce the richness, less water and/or eggs to reduce moisture.
Variations
Cherries - 1/2 cup cherries halved (wash thoroughly to remove the excess syrup) and allow them to drain and dry on absorbent paper; or mixed fruit - 1/2 cup or chocolate chips - 1/4 cup.
Add any of these variations into the bread pan last, on top of the other ingredients.
