Using your breadmaker
1 Take out the pan
Open the lid and remove the pan by lifting the
handle, turning anti-clockwise 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
Attach the kneading blade to the shaft by pushing
on. Ensure the blade is in the upright position
before adding ingredients shown on page 9.
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.
• Use tepid water 21-28ºC.
4 Put pan back in
Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker,
turning clockwise to lock into place. Close the lid.
5 Plug in
Plug into the power supply. The breadmaker will
automatically be set to basic bread menu and normal
time.
•
Everytime you press a button you will hear a beep to
confirm.
6 Select program
Choose the desired setting from the list by pressing
the Menu button.
7 Select weight
Press Loaf size button to choose between small or
large.
8 Select colour
Choose desired crust colour by pressing Colour
button.
9 Select the delay time
If you wish the bread to be ready later, set the time
delay now, as described in next section.
10 Start
Press the Start Stop button to start the machine. The
remaining time will count down in one minute
increments.
11 Progress
The breadmaker will automatically proceed through the
programmed stages as shown in the ‘Baking cycle
times’ section. If the breadmaker has a program
selected that has a second kneading process, beeps
sound to inform that fruits and/or nuts may be added.
•
It is possible that steam will escape through the vents
during baking, this is normal.
12 Finish
When the program is completed and the bread is
baked the display shows 0:00 and the beeper will
sound.
13 Keep warm
The keep warm function will circulate hot air for a
further 60 minutes on most settings (see ‘Baking
cycle times’ section). For best results, remove the
baking pan and loaf within this period or when the
initial program is completed. 10 beeps will be heard
when the keep warm period is finished.
14 Remove the food
Press Stop. Open the lid.
WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing
the baking pan and take care as it is very hot.
15 Turn out the bread
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes,
then turn the pan upside down and tap the bread
from the pan onto a rack to cool. Fill the pan with
warm water immediately to prevent the blade from
sticking to the shaft.
• Occasionally the kneading blade will stay in the
loaf. Wait until the loaf is cool and then remove the
blade with a wooden or plastic utensil to avoid
damage to the non-stick surface.
16 Always unplug the appliance after use.
• Do not open the lid whilst the breadmaker is
operating as this will affect the quality of the bread,
especially its ability to rise properly. Only open the
lid when the recipe needs you to add additional
ingredients, see recipes.
Room temperature note
The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of
temperatures, but there could be a difference in loaf
size between a very warm room and a very cold room.
We recommend the room temperature should be
between 15ºC and 34ºC.
