BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Take the breadmaker and its accessories out of the box and remove all packaging materials including promotional pamphlets and labels.
Most important of all, do not forget to remove the label located at the bottom of the baking container
A3
.
2. Wash the accessories and removable parts intended for coming into contact with food under warm running water using kitchen detergent.
Then rinse them under running water and dry them thoroughly with a wiping cloth.
3. Place the baking container
A3
, with the kneading blades installed, back in its place inside the breadmaker. Connect the breadmaker to
a power socket and it will beep.
4. Set the program 12 – BAKE and run the breadmaker empty in this mode for 10 minutes. When the program ends, cancel the KEEP
WARM function and disconnect the breadmaker from the power socket and allow it to cool down. Wash the baking container
A3
and
the kneading blades again and dry thoroughly.
Note:
When first turned on, there may be light smoke emitted. This is completely normal.
5. Now, the breadmaker is ready for use.
USING THE BREADMAKER
Place the breadmaker on an even, dry and stable surface, e.g. on a kitchen countertop.
Open the lid
A2
and insert the baking container
A3
inside the breadmaker unit. Put the kneading blades on to the shafts located at the
base of the baking container
A3
, and push them down thoroughly.
Note:
To make the removal of the kneading blades
from the baked bread easier, we recommend coating the kneading blades
and
shafts with food-grade fat that can be heated.
Measure out the ingredients according to the recipe and place them into the baking container
A3
in the following order:
– First, add all the liquid ingredients, such as water, milk, beer, buttermilk, yoghurt, eggs, etc.
– Then add all the loose ingredients, such as flour, salt, sugar, herbs, bread spices, sprouts, flakes, seeds, etc. Put the salt into one corner,
and sugar into another, and spices into another.
– Finally, make a hole in the middle of the flour and put the yeast into it. When using fresh yeast, put the sugar in directly with it. The yeast
or baking powder must not come into contact with liquid before the breadmaker is started.
– With heavy, dense doughs with a high rye flour component, in order to achieve a better kneading result, we recommend that you reverse
the order for adding ingredients, i.e. first add the yeast, then the flour and the liquid at the end. Also in this case it applies that the yeast
must not come into contact with liquid before the breadmaker is started.
– It is necessary to follow this general ingredient adding procedure for all the recipes.
The room temperature of the area where the breadmaker is located may have an effect on the final size of the finished loaf. The recommended
room temperature is 15 °C to 34 °C.
Note:
A maximum of 700 g of flour and 6 g of dried yeast may be used in a single batch. Do not place a greater amount of flour or
yeast into the baking container.
Close the lid
A2
and connect the power cord to a power socket. When it is connected to a power socket, a long beep will be made and the
default setting: program 1, program length 03:00 and loaf weight 900 g and crust colour "MEDIUM" will appear on the display
B1
.
Use button
MENU
B2
to set the required program.
Use button
COLOR
B7
to select the crust colour.
Use button
LOAF
B4
to set the loaf size. Certain programs do not enable the crust colour or loaf size to be set.
If you want your bread to be baked at a later time, set the delayed start timer using buttons
+
and
–
.
To start the breadmaker, press button
START/STOP
B5
. The colon in the time shown on the display
B1
will start flashing and the time
remaining until the end of the program will start counting down. The breadmaker will automatically go through the individual phases of
the program. Steam is emitted from the ventilation openings during the baking process.
When the program has finished, a sound will be made. Then the breadmaker will switch to the KEEP WARM mode for 60 minutes. If you
wish to end the KEEP WARM mode, hold down button
START/STOP
B5
.
When the program has finished, tilt open the lid
A2
. Wearing kitchen gloves, lift up the handle of the baking container
A3
and carefully
remove it from the breadmaker. Place the baking container
A3
on to a heat resistant mat and allow the bread to cool down for approximately
10 minutes while still inside. Then turn the baking container
A3
upside down to release the bread from it. If the bread does not come loose
on its own, move the shafts a few times. To take the kneading blades
out of the bread, use the removal hook
A9
.
WARNING:
Be very careful when handling the baking container
A3
since it is very hot. Risk of burns. Always use protective kitchen gloves.
When you have finished using it, disconnect the breadmaker from the power socket and clean all the used parts according to the instructions
contained in the chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
Slicing and storing the bread
Allow the bread to cool down for 20- 40 minutes before slicing it.
To cut slices of even thickness, use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated blade.
Wrap any unconsumed bread into a plastic bag. You may store it at room temperature for up to 3 days.
