Preparation
Filling with Ingredients
Before using your Breadmaker for the first time, wash
Ensure you have all the ingredients to hand. Carefully fill
the inside of the bread pan, the kneading paddle, and
the pan making sure you don’t leave any ingredients
the measuring utensils in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry
out. When filling, it is essential that the ingredients are

not be properly baked.
To open the lid:
Lift the handle and hold it with both
hands. Turn the bread pan anticlockwise (REMOVE).
The pan may now be lifted out.
The ingredients should be at a warm room temperature
(20º-25ºC). If the room is cold (below 18ºC), use warm
water (40ºC) to make sure the yeast ferments fully. To
gauge the temperature if you do not have a
thermometer, heat some water and slowly add this to a
jug of cold water until the resulting temperature is barely
warm to the touch.
Measure and add the water to the pan. Next add the salt
and the other dry ingredients. Finally add the yeast. It is
essential to keep the yeast away from the salt and the
water before mixing commences ore the bread will not
rise properly.
Clean off any spills around the outside of the bread pan
and lower it into the breadmaker, reversing the process
described earlier.
Make sure the drive shaft in the bread pan is clean and

free from crumbs or pieces of dough.
Turn clockwise (LOCK) to secure the pan firmly in place.
Position the kneading paddle on the shaft (it will fit only
one way round). Push it firmly into place. If the paddle is
insecure it may come off when kneading and the
ingredients will not be properly mixed.
Lay the handle back on the pan. Close the lid.
The ingredients are now ready for baking.
