Functions

The functions provided by the Controls and Indicators above are as follows.
Please familiarise yourself with these before operating the Bread Maker.

At Power-On

When the Bread Maker is plugged in
and switched on at the mains, a single
long “beep” will sound, the Selected
Programme
and the Time Left
as 3:00, in the format h:mm, with
the colon “:” displayed steadily. The
Selected Loaf Colour

are each indicated by a small
triangle and are initially displayed
as Medium and 2lb, respectively.

Programme Select

There are 15 different numbered
programmes available, listed at the
top of the Controls & Indicators panel

; these are described in more detail
under “Programmes”. The selected
programme number (1 to 15) is
shown in the digital display

Pressing the Menu Button
the programme number with each press,
until Programme 15 is reached, after
which it will cycle to Programme 1.

Loaf Colour

Baking programmes allow three
alternative loaf colours to be selected,
Light, Medium or Dark, defaulting to
Medium. The Selected Loaf Colour
is indicated by a small triangle and
selected using the Loaf Colour Button
, which cycles through the three options.

Loaf Size/Weight

Baking programmes allow two
alternative loaf sizes to be selected,

1.5lb or 2.0lb (approximately 0.7kg
or 0.9kg), defaulting to 2.0lb. The
Selected Loaf Weight

using the Loaf Size Button
alternates between 1.5lb and 2.0lb.

The programme can be stopped at any time
by pressing the Start/Stop Button
holding for 3 seconds. A single long “beep”
will sound and the display will return to its
Power-on status (see “At Power-on”).

Programme Time Delay

It is possible to delay the start of many of the
programmes, for example if you want a loaf
to be freshly baked for the following morning.
Pressing the Time+ Button
increase the overall time by delaying the start
in increments of 10 minutes; pressing the Time­Button
either button causes the time to adjust rapidly
in increments of 10 minutes. The total Time
Left
maximum extended programme time is 13 hours.

For example, if you wish your bread to be ready
for 07:00 am the following day and it is now
08:30 pm (20:30) today, you need your bread to
finish baking in 10 hours and 30 minutes. After
adding your ingredients, you can select your

After baking bread, but not other programmes, the Bread Maker will automatically keep
the bread warm for up to 60 minutes, or until the Start/Stop Button

Power Interruptions

The Bread Maker has a memory feature, to allow it to continue after an
interruption to the mains power during a programme. If the power is restored
within 15 minutes, the Bread Maker will resume the programme automatically.
Otherwise, the programme will have to be reselected and restarted, with fresh
ingredients unless the interrupted programme is still in the kneading phase.

The following programmes are available. Some buttons have no effect, or
have a different function in certain programmes, as shown in the table.

Ingredients

This section introduces the main ingredients used in baking bread
and making yogurt and how to measure them. Exact instructions
will be found in your recipe book or the ingredient packet.

Measuring Ingredients

The quantity of ingredients you use is very
important to achieving good results. To assist
in this, both a Measuring Cup
graduated in liquid ounces, millilitres and
fractions of a cup,
and a Measuring Spoon
teaspoon and tablespoon measure.

Water, other liquids and larger quantities
of dry ingredients such as flour should
be measured using the Measuring Cup

; ensure you are viewing the cup
horizontally. Wash the cup thoroughly
between ingredients other than water.

Smaller quantities should be measured using
the Measuring Spoon
Ensure that measured dry powder
ingredients are level with the rim of
the spoon, for example with a knife
blade. Store such ingredients in cool
and dry conditions, loosely packed.

THE MAXIMUM QUANTITY OF FLOUR
IS 4 CUPS. THE MAXIMUM QUANTITY
OF YEAST IS 3 TEASPOONS.

Adding Ingredients

It is important to add ingredients in
the correct sequence, as applicable:

Usually, water or other liquid should be
added first, then eggs, followed by sugar,
salt and flour, then yeast or baking powder
as the last ingredient. An exception to
this is heavy dough with high rye or
wholemeal content, in which case it is
advisable to add yeast, then other dry
ingredients first, then liquid ingredients.
This will give better results from kneading.

Do not allow yeast to come into contact
with liquid or salt whilst adding ingredients.
This requires that some flour is kept dry to

.

, which is

, which has a

allow yeast to be added. To add yeast, first
make a small indentation in a dry area of
flour, then add the yeast to the indentation.

Additional fruit ingredients, such a
raisins, should not be included with
the original ingredients, as they can
lose flavour during mixing. During the
following programmes, a series of 10
short “beeps” will sound to indicate that
additional ingredients can be added:

• Basic

• French

• Whole Wheat

• Sweet

• Sandwich.

Flour

Flour is the most important
ingredient in bread making.

Bread flour (also called “strong flour”) has
a high protein content which results in a
high gluten production during kneading.
It has good elasticity, should rise well
and maintain the bread size after rising,
to give a larger loaf with good texture.

Wholemeal flour (also called “whole
wheat flour”) is made by grinding the
entire wheat kernel, so is heavier and
contains more nutrients. Bread made from
wholemeal flour will tend to be smaller
and heavier in texture, so some recipes call
for a proportion of bread flour as well.

Plain flour should not normally be used for
making bread, except in the Quick Bread
and Ultra Fast programmes, or for cakes,
mixed with baking soda or baking powder.

Flour made from other grains, such
as corn or oatmeal does not produce
gluten but can be added to enhance the
flavour and produce a rougher texture.

Digital Bread Maker

Cake Powder

Cake powder is made by grinding soft
wheat or low protein wheat and is
specifically intended for making cakes.

Sugar

Sugar provides food for the yeast, as
well as adding sweetness to the taste,
creating a finer and softer texture and
giving colour to the crust. Certain recipes
may call for sugars other than white
granulated or caster, such as brown sugar.

Yeast

Yeast is a living organism which is
nourished by the sugars in the mixture,
causing it to ferment and create carbon
dioxide gas, which makes the bread rise
and gives it its open texture. You can use
active dry yeast or instant yeast, with 1 ½
teaspoons of active dry yeast equivalent
to 1 teaspoon of instant yeast. Observe
the storage instructions on the packet.

If the yeast is inactive or dead, the
bread will not rise properly. You can
test if the yeast is living as follows:

1. Half fill a cup with warm water (45° to

50°)

2. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of white sugar in the

water, then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of yeast
over the water; do not stir.

3. Place the cup in a warm place for

about 10 minutes.

4. The yeast should produce froth, up

to the top of the cup. If it does not, this
indicates that it is dead and should not
be used.

Salt

Salt can be used to enhance the flavour
of the bread. It also strengthens the
structure of the gluten and makes it more
stretchable. However, it also inhibits the
action of the yeast and therefore rising,
so it is important not to use too much.

Eggs

Adding lightly beaten eggs can improve
bread texture, add nourishment and
make the loaf larger. This can also help
increase the storage life of the bread.

Fats

Fats (such as butter, margarine or oils) can be
added to make bread softer, add flavour and
help increase the storage life of the bread.

Baking Powder and Soda

Baking powder or soda is used in the
Quick Bread and Ultra Fast programmes,
as well as for cakes. When combined with
liquid and heated, it produces gas from a
chemical reaction, to make the mixture rise.

Bread Mix

A wide variety of ready mixed Bread
Mixes are available with all the
necessary ingredients and requiring
only the addition of water. Follow
the instructions on the packet.

Water and Other Liquids

Water is an essential ingredient in making
bread. For most types of bread, the initial
water temperature should be between
20° and 25°; however, for an Ultra Fast
programme, the initial water temperature
should be between 48° and 50°, as measured
by a cooking thermometer. Water may be
replaced by fresh milk, or water mixed with
2% milk powder, which may enhance the
bread flavour and improve crust colour.
Some recipes may call for juice (e.g. apple,
orange or lemon) to enhance the flavour.

Yoghurt is made from milk, with
a starter - see “Baking Tips”.
