8 Baking programme

Using the key Menu, select the desired
programme. The corresponding program­me number will be displayed in the display
field.
The baking time depends on the selected
programme combinations. For this, refer to
the table " Programme sequence" in
Section 15

Baking programme 1: Regular

For white and mixed breads made mainly
out of wheat or rye flour.The bread has a
compact consistency. You can set the
degree of browning for the bread using the
key Colour.

Baking programme 2: French

For light breads made from fine flour.
Normally the bread is fluffy and has a cri­spy crust. This is not suitable for baking
recipes requiring butter, margarine or milk.

Baking programme 3: Whole-Wheat

For breads with heavy varieties of flour that
require a longer phase of kneading and
rising (for example, whole wheat flour and
rye flour). The bread will be more compact
and heavy.

Baking programme 4: Sweet

For breads with additives such as fruit
juices, grated coconut, raisins, dry fruits,
chocolate or added sugar. Due to a longer
phase of rising the bread will be light and
airy.

Baking programme 5: Super-Rapid

The baking operation takes only half the
normal time. For this programme, however,
use only such recipes that do not contain
any heavy ingredients or heavy varieties of
flour.

Note that in this Programme the bread is
less fluffy and may not be so tasty.

Baking programme 6: Dough (kneading)

For preparing the yeast dough for buns,
pizza or plaits. In this programme no
baking is done.

Programme 7: Pasta

For preparing noodle dough.
In this programme no baking is done.

Baking Programme 8: Buttermilk

For breads made with buttermilk or
curds.

Programme 9: Jam

For preparing marmalades.

Programme 10: Bake

For re-baking breads if they are too light
or not well baked. In this Programme
there is no kneading or resting. The
bread will be warm for nearly an hour
after the end of the baking operation.
This prevents it from becoming messy.

To end this function, switch the applian­ce off or disconnect from the mains.

Note

You can simultaneously bake

- two different varieties of bread using
the same Programme,

- two loaves of the same variety or

- only a single loaf (in this case place
the second baking mould without
the kneading paddles inside the
appliance).

8

IB_Breadmaker_GB.qxd 04.02.2005 10:14 Uhr Seite 9

In the case of Programmes 1, 3 and 4
you will hear a beep as the programme
is running.

Soon thereafter, add the ingredients
such as fruits or nuts.
The kneading paddles will not crush the
ingredients.
If you have set the timer, you can put
various ingredients into the baking
mould even at the beginning of the pro­gramme. In this case, however, fruits
and nuts should be cut into smaller pie­ces.

9 Setting the timer

The Timer function enables you to bake
bread while you attend to other work.
Using the arrow keys ▲ and ▼ , set the
desired end time for the baking opera­tion.
Select a Programme. The display shows
the required baking time.
Using the arrow key ▲ you can change
the end time of baking operation in
steps of 10 minutes to a later point of
time.
Keep the arrow key pressed to carry out
this function faster. The display shows
the total duration of baking time and the
delayed time.

If you overshoot while changing the
time, you can correct it using the arrow
key ▼.

ON/OFF key.

The colon symbol in the display field
starts to blink and the countdown for
the programmed time begins to run.
On completion of the baking operation,
a beep can be heard and the display will
show 0:00.

bread after 8 hours and 30 minutes, that
is to say, at 18:00 hrs. First, select the
Programme and press the Timer key till
