PREPARING BREAD, CAKE OR DOUGH
Adding ingredients
Generously apply heat-resistant margarine to the hole in
the kneader to prevent the dough from baking on here du-
ring baking. Place the kneader on the drive shaft with the
long side facing downward.
The ingredients should always be added to the baking pan
in the order specified in the recipes.
When preparing very heavy dough, we recommend rever-
sing the order of the ingredients; dry yeast and flour first,
followed by the liquid, so that the dough will be kneaded
thoroughly. When using the timer function, however, make
sure that the yeast does not come into contact with the li-
quid too early.
Do not exceed the maximum flour quantity.
Inserting the baking pan
Hold the baking pan with the non-stick coating by the edge
and insert it at a slight angle into the middle of the base
in the baking compartment. Turn it clockwise until it locks
into place.
Selecting the program
Select the desired program with the Menu button. Select
the appropriate loaf size and degree of browning for the
program. You can delay the program start with the Time
button. Now press the START/STOP button. It is then no
longer possible to make any corrections.
Mixing and kneading of the dough
The Backmeister
mixes and kneads the dough automati-
®
cally until it has the right consistency.
Idle period
After the first kneading phase, an idle period is program-
med during which the liquid can slowly penetrate the yeast
and flour.
Rising
After the last kneading phase, the Backmeister
the optimal temperature for the dough to rise.
CLEANING AND CARE
Always allow the breadmaker to cool down before
it is cleaned and stored.
Always switch off the appliances, disconnect the
power supply plug from the mains, and allow the
breadmaker to cool down, before it is cleaned.
1. Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the
electrical outlet and allow it to cool. Use only mild dishwashing
liquid; never use chemical cleaners, naphtha, oven cleaner or
abrasive substances.
2. Remove all ingredients and crumbs from the lid, housing
and baking chamber with a moist cloth. Never immerse the
appliance in water and never pour water into the baking
chamber.
The lid can be removed for easy cleaning; simply open
the lid to an angle of 40° and then pull.
3. Wipe off the outside of the baking pan with a damp cloth. The
inside of the baking pan can be rinsed out with warm water.
If any dough remains in the baking pan despite the non-stick
coating, you can fill the pan with hot water and let it soak
for about 30 minutes. It is generally not necessary to use
dishwashing liquid; however, you can use a mild dishwashing
liquid, if necessary. Please to not immerse the baking pan or
Baking
The breadmaker automatically regulates the baking tempe-
rature and time.
Keeping warm
When the baking phase is completed, the breadmaker
beeps several times to signal that the bread or cake can
be removed. At the same time, the 1-hour keep-warm pha-
se begins. If you wish to remove the bread before the end
of the keep-warm time, press the START/STOP button and
hold it down until a tone sounds to signal that the program
has been interrupted.
End of the program
After completion of the program, use potholders to turn the
baking pan counterclockwise slightly and remove the bak-
ing pan.
Turn the baking pan upside down and allow the bread to
slide out onto a wire rack for cooling. If the bread does not
come out right away, turn the kneading mechanism on the
bottom of the pan back and forth until the bread comes
out. Never strike the baking pan against a table edge or
worktop. This could cause dents in the baking pan.
If the kneader remains in the bread, you can pull it out with
the included hook. Insert it at the bottom of the warm loaf
into the hole in the kneader and allow it to catch on the
bottom edge of the kneader, preferably at the point where
the blade of the kneader is located. Now carefully pull the
kneader out of the bread. As you pull, you will see in which
direction the blade of the kneader is pointing so you can
heats to
®
leave it filled with water for an extended period, since this can
cause the seals in the bottom to become brittle.
4. The kneader and the drive shaft should be cleaned immediately
after use. In case the kneader remains in the pan after baking,
it may be difficult to remove it later. In this case, pour warm
water into the pan and allow it to stand for 30 minutes.
Afterwards, the kneader can easily be removed.
5. The baking pan and kneaders are not dishwasher safe. To
clean the kneader and the baking pan, use only warm water,
mild dishwashing liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid damage to the
coating from unsuitable cleaners, such as steel sponges or
scouring powders.
6. The baking pan is coated with a high-quality QUANTANIUM
non-stick coating. Therefore, never use metal objects for
cleaning it, since they can scratch the surface. It is normal
for the color of the coating to change over time; this does not
affect the non-stick properties.
7. Wipe the viewing window with a damp cloth after every baking
program. If the viewing window becomes extremely cloudy,
wipe it using a small amount of glass cleaner on a damp cloth.
Then wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry.
8. Before storing the appliance, make sure that it is completely
cool, clean and dry. Store the appliance with the lid closed.
