using the appliance
preparing the appliance and ingredients
1
Put the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface.
2
Turn the bread pan anticlockwise and lift it out of the appliance. (Fig. 2)
Note: Always remove the bread pan before you put ingredients in it, to avoid spilling ingredients into the appliance.
3
Make sure the hole in the kneading blade and the rotating shaft inside the bread pan are entirely clean.
Note: If these parts are not clean, you may not be able to assemble the kneading blade properly.
4
Align the flat side of the hole in the kneading blade with the flat side of the shaft in the bread pan. Then push the kneading blade firmly
onto the shaft (Fig. 3).
Note: Make sure you push the kneading blade properly into place, otherwise it may come off during use, which affects the mixing or kneading process.
Note: When the kneading blade is assembled properly onto the shaft, it has some horizontal play on the shaft. This is normal.
5
Measure the ingredients for the recipe you want to prepare (see section 'Standard bread recipes' below).
Note: Always measure ingredients accurately. See section 'Measuring ingredients' in chapter 'Ingredients'.
6
Put ingredients in the bread pan in the order they are listed in the recipe.
-
Always measure ingredients accurately. See section 'Measuring ingredients' in chapter 'Ingredients'.
-
Always add yeast last. Make a hollow in the centre of the flour and sprinkle the yeast in it.
Do not mix the yeast with any of the wet ingredients, otherwise the bread may nor rise properly, especially when you use the timer.
-
If an ingredient has to be added during the baking process, the appliance gives a short and long beep three times after 30 minutes and the
message 'ADD' appears on the display. If you do not add an ingredient, the appliance simply continues with the baking process.
7
Put the bread pan in the appliance. Turn the bread pan clockwise until it locks into position (Fig. 4).
If the bread pan is not assembled properly, the kneading blade does not work.
8
Fold down the handle of the bread pan and close the lid of the appliance.
9
Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
The appliance beeps and '1' appears on the display, which refers to the 'Basic White' program.
,
selecting settings
1
Press the menu selector until the display shows the number of the program that is appropriate for the recipe you want to
prepare (Fig. 5).
Each time you press the menu selector, the number on the display increases by 1.
,
After 2 seconds, the display alternately shows the selected program number and the processing time.
,
Note: The appliance beeps when you accidentally press the wrong button, for instance when you press the weight button during the Dough program.
2
Press the weight selector one or more times to select the appropriate loaf weight (Fig. 6).
Make sure the selected weight is appropriate for the amount of ingredients of the selected recipe, to avoid the bread from becoming too
big or burning. See section 'Standard bread recipes' below.
For instance, when you select a weight of 750g, the preset weight for white bread, use 455g or 3¼ cups of white flour.
For programs 1 to 8, the preset weight is 750g.
The dot on the left side of the display indicates the selected weight. The display also shows the number of the selected menu (Fig. 7).
,
3
If desired, press the crust colour selector one or more times to select the appropriate crust colour (Fig. 8).
For programs 1 to 8, the preset crust colour is medium.
The dot on the right side of the display indicates the selected crust colour. The display also shows the number of the selected
,
menu (Fig. 9).
The baking time for the selected program, weight and crust colour appears on the display. The baking time is shown in hours and
,
minutes (Fig. 10).
4
Press the start/stop/cancel button to start the bread making process. (Fig. 11)
During the baking process, the appliance itself and the lid become extremely hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
Note: You can watch the mixing, kneading and baking process through the viewing window. Occasionally, some moisture may develop on the inside of
the window. You can lift the lid to look inside during the mixing and kneading stages, but DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING PROCESS
(approximately the last hour of the entire processing time), as this may cause the bread to collapse.
The display counts down the processing time in steps of 1 minute until the bread is ready.
,
Each five seconds, the display shows the selected program number instead of the processing time.
,
When the baking process is finished, the appliance beeps. Alternately, the message 'Fin' is shown on the display for 1 second and the
,
keep-warm animation is shown for 5 seconds as long as you do not press any button. (Fig. 12)
Note: The keep-warm mode does not work in the Dough program. If you leave finished dough in the appliance too long, it may over-rise and produce
poor baking results. For the best results, remove the dough at the end of the program and follow the instructions in the recipe for shaping, resting and
baking.
Note: If you do not remove the bread during or immediately after the keep-warm mode is finished, the crust gets moist and loses its crispiness. The
keep-warm mode DOES NOT overbake the bread or make it darker.
using the timer
You can use the timer if you want the bread to be ready at a later time. The maximum delay time that can be set is 13 hours.
For example, set the timer to 13 hours at 19:00 hours to have the bread ready at 08:00 hours the next morning.
Note: Do not use the timer function with recipes that require fresh ingredients that may go bad, for instance eggs, fresh milk, sour cream or cheese.
