Program descriptions 1 Basic white (3:00 and 2:53) For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisin. 2 French (3:50 and 3:40) For the baking of light weight bread such as french bread which has a crisper crust and light texture. 3 Wholewheat (3:40 and 3:32) 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.
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. 3 Measure ingredients Measure the ingredients required and add them all into the pan in the order listed.
Using the timer Slicing and storing bread Use the timer when you want the bread ready later, or in the morning. A maximum of 13 hours can be set. Check if function is available by consulting ‘Baking cycle times’ section. Do not use this function with recipes that use perishable ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese. 1 Decide when you want the bread to be ready and calculate the difference in time btween now and then. For example, if you want a loaf at 8am, and it is now 7.
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.
Know your ingredients 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.
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 skimmed milk. Eggs Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread doughs and cakes.
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. 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).
Recipes All of the following recipes use this same general method: 1 Measure ingredients into baking pan. 2 Use tepid water 21-28ºC. 3 Insert baking pan securely into unit, close lid. 4 Select appropriate bread setting. 5 Push start button. 6 When bread is done, remove pan from unit using oven mitts. 7 Remove bread from baking pan, (and kneading blade from bread if necessary). 8 Allow to cool before slicing. This method is modified by notes, if applicable, at the end of each recipe.

Need help? 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.
Questions about ingredients and recipes 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. 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.
Troubleshooting Possible cause Solution Bread sinks in the centre Too much liquid or liquid too warm Measure ingredients accurately.
Bread under baked with soggy centre Too much liquid from fresh or canned fruit Always drain liquids well as specified in the recipe. Water may have to be reduced slightly Large amounts of rich ingredients like nuts, butter, Measure ingredients accurately. Never exceed the dried fruits, syrups and grains will make dough heavy.
