UK Wiring Instructions - Cuisinart
n Your Cuisinart Bread Maker includes a BS 5 amp moulded (fused) mains plug on the supply cord.
n Should it be necessary at any stage to remove this moulded plug and replace it with a re-wireable BS 13 amp
mains plug, the re-wiring should be completed as follows: (NB The moulded plug should be disposed of safely)
Class I (1) Earthed Appliance
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN & YELLOW = EARTH
BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE
As the colours of the wire may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
n The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or or coloured green or yellow or green and yellow.
n The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
n The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.
With this appliance, if a 13 amp plug is used, a 5 amp fuse should be tted. If any other type of plug is used, a 5 amp fuse
must be tted, either in the plug or at the distribution board.
WARNING: A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off
plug is disposed of safely.

Instructions for Use
How to measure ingredients
One of the important steps for making good bread is to use the exact measure of ingredients. Always use a measuring
cup or measuring spoon to obtain the exact amount.
n Any liquid should be measured with the measuring cup provided. Observe the level of the measuring cup at
eye level. When measuring cooking oil or other ingredients, clean and dry the measuring cup thoroughly
before measuring any other ingredients.
n Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and then once lled, levelling
off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup with more than is required could affect the recipe.
When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, the measuring spoon must be used. Measurements must be
level not heaped as this could affect the recipe.
Loading ingredients
Ensure ingredients are put into the bread maker in the exact order given in the recipe, for example:
n First, liquid ingredients – room temperature
n Second, dry ingredients
n Last, yeast – yeast must be separate from wet ingredients. Create a small hole in the dry ingredients
using your nger or a spoon, and place yeast within the hole. Ensure the yeast is active.
Yeast/ Baking Powder or Baking Soda
Dry Ingredients
Water or Liquids
n Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, unless otherwise stated (i.e. between 24ºC to 32ºC.
Temperature too cool or too warm can affect the way the bread rises and bakes.
N.B. Water should not be warm, or it will affect rising.

Bread maker cycles
Once you start a selected program, the appliance will automatically take care of each step of the bread
making process until the loaf nishes baking. An indicator on the LCD will display the current function:
Delay, Preheat, Knead, Rest, Rise, Bake, Keep Warm or End.
Delay timer
This allows you to delay the bread making process for up to 13 hours. (See ‘Delay Timer’ on page 20 for
further details).
Preheat
Some program require the bread maker to pre-heat. During this time, the unit is heating up.
N.B. This function is not required for all program.
Knead
Three kneads are standard for most settings. The rst knead will actually mix the ingredients; one or two other
short knead cycles will punch the dough down before the rest and rise cycles.
Rest
These are periods of resting in which the unit will not be active except for the countdown display.
Rise
These are periods of rising in which the unit will not be active except for the countdown display.
Bake
The loaf is in the nal baking cycle. Baking time and temperature will be regulated according to the individual
recipe.
Keep warm
The bread maker will automatically go into ‘Keep Warm’ mode at the end of the baking cycle. It will stay in
this mode for 1 hour or until the machine is switched off. This means bread can be served warm; it also helps
to minimise moisture build up if the loaf is if not removed from the machine immediately after baking. Some
crusts will darken slightly in ‘Keep Warm’ mode.
