•
Clean the kneading hooks and drive shafts immediately after use.
The kneading hooks may be difficult to remove later if left in the bak-
ing tin. In this case fill warm water for approx. 30 minutes into the
tin. The kneading hooks can then be removed easily.
Removing and installing the lid
For easier cleaning, you can remove the lid by removing the hinged
cover on the back of the appliance. For doing so, use a flat head screw-
driver.
1. Close the lid.
2. Insert the top of the screwdriver into the slots of the hinged cover.
Slightly lever the cover upwards.
3. Reach under the cover and flip it open, releasing the upper fixture of
the cover.
4. Open the lid. Slightly push it backwards when it is at the same level
with the hinge, in order to fully remove the lid.
5. Let the lid dry completely after cleaning and before re-installing.
6. Hold the lid vertically and push the hinged rod into the hinge from
the back.
7. Close the lid.
8. Press the upper part of the hinged cover onto the hinged rod. The
upper fixture should lock into place.
9. Press down the lower part of the hinged cover until it locks into
place.
Storage
•
Ensure that the appliance is clean and dry and has cooled down
complete before storing. Store the appliance with the lid closed.
•
We recommend to store the appliance in its orginial packaging
when not using the appliance for a longer period of time.
•
Store the appliance out of reach of children and at a well ventilated
dry place.
Baking Q & A
• The bread sticks to the container after baking
Leave the bread to cool for about 10 minutes after baking – turn
the container upside down. Move the kneading hook shaft back
and forth, if necessary. Grease the kneading hooks before baking.
• How do you avoid the forming of holes in the bread owing to
the presence of the kneading hooks
You can remove the kneading hooks with your fingers covered with
flour before leaving the dough to rise for the last time (see "Program
Sequence Bread Maker"). The display must show a remaining
processing time of approx. 1:30 hours, depending on the program. If
you not wish to do so, use the hook after baking. If you proceed with
caution, you can avoid the forming of a large hole.
• The dough spills over when it is left to rise
This happens in particular when wheat flour is used owing to its
greater content of gluten.
Remedy:
a) Reduce the amount of flour and adjust the amounts of the other
ingredients. When the bread is ready, it will still have a large
volume.
b) Spread a tablespoon of heated liquefied margarine on the flour.
• The bread rises and spills over anyway
a) If a V-shaped ditch forms in the middle of the bread, the flour
does not have enough gluten. This means that the wheat
contains too little protein (it happens during especially rainy
summers) or that the flour is too moist.
50
Remedy:
Add one tablespoon of wheat gluten per 500g of wheat flour.
b) If the bread has a funnel shape in the middle, the possible
cause can be one of the following
-
the water temperature was too high,
-
too much water was used,
-
the flour was poor in gluten,
-
draft when opening the lid during baking.
• When can the lid of the bread maker be opened during the bak-
ing?
Generally speaking, it is always possible while the kneading is
underway. During this phase small quantities of flour or liquid can
still be added.
If the bread must have a particular aspect after baking, proceed
as follows: before the last rising phase (the display must show a
remaining processing time of approx. 1:30 hours, depending on the
program) open the lid with caution and shortly and carve the bread
crust while it is forming with a sharp pre-heated knife, scatter cere-
als on it or spread a mixture of potato flour and water on the crust to
give it a glossy finish. This is the last time that the lid can be opened;
otherwise the bread will go down in the middle.
• What do the type numbers for flour mean?
The lower the type number, the less roughage the flour contains
and the lighter it will be.
• What is wholewheat flour?
Wholewheat flour is made of all types of cereals including wheat.
The term "wholewheat" means that the flour was ground from whole
grain and hence it has a greater contents of roughage thus making
the wholewheat flour darker. However, the use of wholewheat flour
does not make the bread darker as is widely believed.
•
What must be done when using rye flour?
Rye flour does net contain any gluten and the bread hardly rises.
In order to make it easily digestible a rye wholewheat bread with
leaven is to be made.
The dough will rise only if one part of type 550 flour is added to
every four parts of rye flour without gluten.
•
What is gluten in flour?
The higher the type number, the lower the gluten contents of the
flour are and the less the dough will rise. The highest quantity of
gluten is contained in type 550 flour.
•
How many different flour types are there and how are they
used?
a) Corn, rice and potato flour are suitable for people allergic to
gluten or for those who suffer from sprue or celiac disease. See
the relevant recipes in the operating instructions.
b) Spelt flour is very expensive, but it is free from chemical ad-
ditives because spelt grows on very poor soil and requires no
fertilizers. Spelt flour is especially suitable for allergic people.
It can be used in all those recipes described in the operating
instructions requiring flour types 405, 550 or 1050.
c) Millet flour is especially suitable for people suffering from many
allergies. It can be used in all recipes requiring flour types 405,
550 or 1050 as described in the operating instructions.
d) Durum wheat flour is suitable for baguettes thanks to its consis-
tency and it can be replaced with durum wheat semolina.

How can fresh bread be made easier to digest?
If a mashed boiled potato is added to the flour and kneaded in the
dough the fresh bread is easier to digest.
