yeast
Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as
the fungus in it will be killed at high
temperatures. Before using yeast check
the production date and storage life of
your yeast. Refrigerate it as soon as
possible after each use. The main cause of
bread failing to rise is bad yeast.
The method described below will check
whether your yeast is fresh and active.
(1) Pour 1/2 cup warm water (45-50˚C)
into a measuring cup.
(2) Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and
stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the
water.
(3) Place the measuring cup in a warm
place for about 10min. Do not stir the
water.
(4) The froth that appears should come up
to 1 cups worth. Otherwise the yeast is
dead or inactive.
Salt
Salt is necessary to improve the flavour
and crust colour of the bread. Salt can also
stop the yeast from working. Never use
too much salt in a recipe.
Grease, butter and vegetable oil
Grease can make bread soft but can
reduce storage life. Butter should be
melted or chopped into small pieces
before use.

emit a little smoke and smell, this is
due to the burning off of substances

can affect the taste of your bread,
therefore please follow these steps
before using the machine:
1. Wash the baking pan, kneading hooks,
measuring cup and measuring spoon

thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
material to wash and dry the
accessories as this will damage the
non stick coating of the appliance.
2. Position the bread maker on a flat, dry
and heat resistant surface.
3. Place the kneading hooks into baking
pan(s).
