MENU SETTINGS
(1) CLASSICAL

Press the MENU button once,"1" is displayed.
Use this setting to bake traditional white bread.
You can choose three crust colours: Light, Medium or Dark.
The appliance is set by default to make a 1000g loaf with a medium coloured crust.
To select another crust colour, press the "crust colour" button once for darker bread and twice for ligh­ter bread. To make a loaf weighing other than 1000g, press the kg button until you reach the required size.

(2) FRENCH

Use to make crustier French or Italian style bread. Press the MENU button twice,"2" is displayed.
Use this setting to make bread with a low fat and sugar content.

(3) WHOLEMEAL

Wholemeal bread needs a longer leavening time to compensate for the slower rising of the wholemeal flour.
The baking time for wholemeal bread will therefore be longer and the consistency will be denser.
Press the MENU button three times,"3" is displayed. NB: When WHOLEMEAL is selected, the first kneading
phase does not begin at once.
This is due to a 30-minute Preheat phase included in the cycle to guarantee good results.

(4) SWEET

it. Press the MENU button four times,"4" is displayed. To avoid the crust being too dark, the Light crust colour
is recommended.

(5 and 6) TURBO

For quicker baking, the TURBO setting speeds up the whole cycle.
A loaf baked using this setting may be smaller and denser given the shorter leavening time.
You are recommended to use the TURBO function to bake Classical, Wholemeal, Sweet, and French bread.
To use the TURBO setting, place the ingredients in the pan and then place the pan in the appliance. Press the
MENU button five or six times, "5 or 6" is displayed.

USING THE APPLIANCE
Before using the appliance.

You are recommended to remove the pan (see instructions below) and clean the pan and paddles with a
damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the pan in water unless strictly necessary. Do not use abra­sive cleaning products as they could damage the non-stick surface. Do not wash any accessories in a dishwa­sher.

Removing the pan

Open the lid of the appliance and remove the pan by holding it by the handle and lifting. It is advisable to
remove the pan before adding the ingredients to avoid them coming in contact with the heating element.

Adding the ingredients

You should add the ingredients to the pan in the specified order. All ingredients must be at room temperatu­re and measured carefully.

Replacing the pan in the chamber

To reposition the pan in the appliance, just place it in the chamber and push downwards until it is correctly
positioned. Leave the handle down towards the side of the pan. Close the lid, plug the appliance into a 230
V AC socket and place the ON/OFF switch on the appliance to "I". NB: when the appliance is plugged in
for the first time, it emits a beep and "menu 1 3:25" is displayed.

Beep for fruit and nuts (certain models only)

Make your bread making more creative. The appliance emits a beep to tell you when to add fruit and/or
nuts. This avoids them breaking up excessively during kneading.

DRIED FRUIT AND NUT DISTRIBUTOR (certain models only)

The appliance has a dried fruit and nut distributor which automatically releases the dry ingredients into the
dough during the kneading cycle.
This occurs about eight minutes before the end of the second kneading phase and guarantees that the dried
fruit and nuts are not broken up, but remain whole and evenly distributed.
The fruit and nut distributor holds one cup of dry ingredients and is available with all menu settings, althou­gh its use is recommended only for CLASSICAL (1), FRENCH (2), WHOLEMEAL (3) and SWEET (4).
The fruit and nut distributor is a further feature of the appliance, designed to make it even more convenient
to follow the recipes.
NOTE: do not force the door as this can only be opened automatically by the electronic control.
