Bread-making programs

The table on this page spread lists all 13 programs. For options available under
each program, please see the table on page 18.

Program Bread type (product)

1

Basic

This most commonly used program is suitable for baking white
(wheat) bread. It is the default program that is automatically
selected when the machine is switched on.

2

French

This program is for typical French-style bread made with white,
protein-rich our, with a crisp crust and soft, slightly chewy
interior.

3

Wholemeal

This program is for heavier wholemeal or wholegrain bread.
It includes a special ‘hold/preheat’ time for softening grains.
Wholemeal loaves are generally smaller and more compact.

4

Sweet

On this setting, the baking time and temperature are adjusted for
sweeter bread or fruit loaves with higher fat and sugar contents.

5

Gluten-free

Use this program for baking gluten-free bread in the bread maker.
Take particular care with your recipe to ensure all ingredients are
gluten-free. When using a commercially prepared gluten-free
bread-baking mix, follow the instructions on the packet.

• Ensure that the our and yeast are all gluten-free.

• Xanthan gum (food additive number 415) and Guar gum (415)
act as substitutes for gluten and give structure to the dough
so it can rise. These ingredients are generally available from
health food stores.

• Tapioca our is gluten-free and often used as a thickening
agent.

IMPORTANT: For more information on the suitability and
availability of gluten-free ingredients, contact the Coeliac
Society in your area, or consult a health professional for advice.
We assume no responsibility for the suitability of any particular
recipes or ingredients for people with special dietary needs.

6

Rye

This program is suitable for bread with a high rye content. It
includes a special ‘hold/preheat’ time for softening grains.
Loaves with high rye content are generally smaller and more
compact.

Getting Started (Cont.)

Program Bread type (product)

7

Quick

This is a quick (80 minute) program with fewer stages and
reduced rising and rest times. This makes the bread slightly
rmer and more compact.

8

Italian

This is a program for light, Italian-style bread, which often
contains olive oil and herbs such as oregano or thyme.

9

Dough

This program is for kneading yeast dough only (no baking). Use
it to knead yeast dough that you want to shape yourself by
hand and bake in an oven, or for pizza crusts, pastry or bread
rolls. The dough is heated so that it can rise, but it will not be
baked. After the kneading process you can bake the dough in a
traditional or pizza oven.

10

Pasta

dough

This program is similar to the dough program, but it is specially
designed for preparing yeast-free dough for pasta, wafes,
biscuits or pies. It simply mixes and kneads the dough; there is
no baking involved. When the dough is ready, take it out of the
bread maker and continue processing as appropriate.

11

Milk bread

This program is suitable for baking bread made with milk or
dairy products.

12

Jam

Use this program for processing fresh fruit or making marmalade
or jam. Place all ingredients in the bread pan and follow the
general usage instructions to start cooking jam. At the end of
the program, remove the pan wearing oven mitts. Carefully pour
the hot processed fruit into a heat resistant and refrigerator
safe container, leaving 1cm space at the top. Cover tightly. The
jam will thicken upon cooling. Do not exceed any the quantities
indicated to avoid the jam boiling over and ending up in the
baking chamber.

13

Bake only

This program is for baking bread from a dough prepared
manually, or for extending the baking time by up to an hour, to
achieve a darker, crispier crust. There is no mixing or kneading
involved. The baking time for this program is one hour, and the
program can be used several times in a row.

If the dough is baked before the end of the set time, simply
press the START/STOP button to stop the baking process.

Getting Started (Cont.)

Basic bread-making ingredients

Flour

Flour is the main ingredient of bread and releases gluten, which allows the
bread to rise and gives substance to the bread. Always check the packaging
to see if the our is suited for baking bread. Also make sure to always weigh
the correct amount of our required in your recipe as the weight of our can
vary signicantly from type to type.

NOTE: Do not use self-raising our unless stated in your recipe.

Yeast

Yeast allows the dough to rise and makes the bread light and easy to digest.
We recommend using dry yeast (ready-to-use) as this type has a longer shelf
life and tends to produce more consistent results than fresh yeast. But make
sure to check the use-by date, as stale yeast may prevent the rising process.

Salt

Salt enriches the our and reinforces the gluten in the our for a better rising
process. Make sure to measure salt quantities accurately, as adding too
much, or omitting it altogether, will not only spoil the taste of your bread but
also affect the rising process.

Butter/oil

Butter, margarine or oil improve the taste of the bread and make it softer.
Make sure any solid fats are at room temperature, and cut into chunks.

Sugar

Sugar provides nutrition for the yeast and is essential for the rising process.
You can use rened sugar or brown sugar, but also honey or syrup. Sugar
also adds sweetness to the taste of the bread and helps brown the crust.

Water

We recommend using tap water, at room temperature. If it is too cold, the
yeast activation will not start, and if it is too warm, the yeast activation
will process too quickly. (Warmer water may only be used for the 'Quick’
program.)

Milk and milk powder

Milk and other dairy products enhance the taste and nutritional value of the
bread and produce a nice brown crust. If substituting fresh milk for water,
deduct the quantity of milk from the amount of water mentioned in the recipe.

IMPORTANT!

Do not use milk, other dairy products, eggs or meat when using the delayed

start timer. These ingredients must be kept refrigerated to ensure food safety.

Getting Started (Cont.)

Other ingredients (extras)

Other ingredients such as raisins, dried fruit, nuts, sunower or pumpkin seeds
can be added to the fruit and nut dispenser for release into the dough at the
right time. If you prefer softer grains, soak them rst, but make sure they are dry
before adding them to the dispenser.

TIP

For a special loaf, try experimenting with a few extra ingredients

such as herbs, cheese, bacon, olives, grains or dried fruit.

Cut into small pieces and add through the dispenser.

Prepackaged bread mix (with yeast included)

Pour the bread mix in the baking tin and add water to it. Select program

1 Basic and choose the loaf size.
NOTE: Packaged bread mix does not always mention how much yeast is

included, so you might have to experiment a little before obtaining the
best result.

Prepackaged bread mix (with yeast separate)

First put the yeast in the baking tin, then the bread mix and then the water.
Select the program according to the type of our in your bread mix.

Quantities

• Measure all ingredients correctly and then stick to the quantities
recommended in the recipe. Do not exceed the recommended quantities.

• Use the included measuring cup and measuring spoon — do not pile up
the ingredients in the measuring spoon.

• Always use scales to weigh our and butter.

MAXIMUM AMOUNTS

Never use more than the below quantities for this appliance!

750g flour + 2tsp dried yeast (for regular types of bread)

NOTE: For "Gluten-free Bread" made from a package mix, 3tsp of dried

yeast may be used, and for "Quick Bread" 4tsp of dried yeast.

Instructions

Setting up the bread maker

Adding ingredients

BASIC ORDER

First wet ingredients (as per recipe): water, oil, eggs

Then dry ingredients (as per recipe): our, yeast, salt, sugar, milk powder

• Remove the baking tin from the appliance and place the clean kneading
blades on the spindles inside the tin (see Fig. 2, page 11).

• Put all the ingredients in the baking tin in the correct order (see below).

IMPORTANT!

Before using the bread maker, make sure you (and anyone who uses this

appliance) have read and understood the general advice in the "Getting

Started" section and the safety instructions on the previous pages.

• First add tap water to the baking tin, then add the required type(s) of our.

NOTE: The order of ingredients is different when using a prepackaged

bread mix; see the relevant section on the previous page.

NOTE: When using rye our, take into account that this dough does not

rise much. For that reason, use at least 30% wheat our and max.
70% rye our.

• Make a little hole in the our in one corner of the baking tin and add the salt.

• Close the hole and make another hole in the opposite corner. Add the
yeast and close the hole so that salt and yeast do not mix immediately.

• Always add some sugar, as this will inuence how well the bread rises.

• If the recipe includes butter, add it in small chunks.

• Add any extra ingredients (such as grains, nuts or dried fruit) to the fruit
and nut dispenser for release into the dough at the right time. Do not add
more than t into the dispenser with the lid closed. If required, you may
add more when the extra ingredients are released (see page 19).

IMPORTANT!

• Room temperature: All ingredients should be at room temperature.

Warm water may only be used for the 'Quick' program.

• Avoid spillage: Make sure not to spill any ingredients into the baking
chamber (the area surrounding the baking tin). Keep the outside of the
baking tin clean and make sure that the heating element does not come into
contact with dough or ingredients.

Instructions (Cont.)

• Place the baking tin in the appliance. If it does not seem to t properly,
move the pan a little and press down rmly on both sides of the rim until it
clicks securely into place.

• Fold down the handle, close the lid rmly and then plug in the bread maker.
Your appliance will now switch on, emit a sound signal and the LCD screen
will be activated. You are now ready to make your program selection.

Selecting a program

Use the buttons on the control panel to make your program selection. Each
press of a button will be conrmed by a sound signal.

• Program: Press the MENU button, repeatedly, to select a program. The types
of bread you can bake with the appliance are listed in the table on pages 12–
13; the table on page 18 lists the options available under each program. Upon
your selection, the LCD will display the total time for the selected program.

• Loaf size: Press the LOAF button to select the loaf size (750g, 1000g, 1250g).
The bar at the top of the screen moves with each press of the button to
indicate the selected loaf size. The table on page 9 lists the programs for
which you can select the loaf size.

• Crust colour: Press the COLOUR button to select the crust colour (Light,
Medium, Dark, and Rapid, if available). The table on page 9 lists the programs
for which you can select the crust colour. (The 'Rapid' option, if available,
indicates that the program time can be reduced by approximately 1 hour.)

• Timer: If you want to use the delayed start timer for the appliance to start
at a later time, use the / buttons to set the delay period. Each press
of these buttons increases/decreases the delay period by 10 minutes. The
table on page 9 lists the programs for which you can set this function.

Setting the delayed start timer: You must set the timer to the delay period,
not to the time you want the program to nish. For example, it is now

10:00pm and you want your bread (a 750g Italian loaf) ready at 6:00am the
next morning (so in 8 hours). As the selected loaf takes 3:34hrs to bake,
you must deduct this program time from the 8 hour delay period and set
the timer to 4:30.

IMPORTANT!

• The yeast must be on top of the our when using the delay timer so it
does not get mixed with water, salt or sugar, otherwise the yeast activity
will be affected.

• Do NOT use perishable ingredients when selecting a delayed start!

Instructions (Cont.)

Starting the program

• Press the START/STOP button to start the selected program, or to start the
timer countdown, if the delayed start timer has been set.

NOTE: If you want to change any of the current settings (at any time after

the unit has started operation), press and hold the START/STOP
button for a few seconds and the program will stop. You may then
change the options.

Adding extra ingredients

• For the programs 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11 the appliance will emit a sound signal
after approximately 20 minutes to let you know that any extra ingredients
from the fruit and nut dispenser will be added to the dough.

• If you want to add more ingredients, do so at this point of time.

IMPORTANT!

• DO NOT PRESS STOP! Never press STOP to add ingredients. Doing so

will stop the entire baking process.

• DO NOT OPEN THE LID! Never open the lid during the baking process.

Doing so will allow hot air to escape and the bread will not rise. The lid
features a large viewing window so you can observe the process through
the window.

• DO NOT TOUCH! The viewing window and baking tin get very hot during

the baking process. Always use oven mitts to touch hot surfaces and to
remove the bread from the tin.

• DO NOT COVER! Never touch, block or cover the ventilation holes. This

is important as it could cause smoke development if the dough rises over
the baking tin and touches the heating element.

• WARNING! If there is smoke in the baking chamber because dough

came into contact with the heating element, keep the lid closed to avoid
ames developing. If ames have already ared up, press the STOP
button immediately and pull out the plug. Never put out smoldering
dough with water.

Memory backup

In case of a power failure (max. 7 minutes) during the ‘delayed start’ or
preheating process, the bread maker will memorise the stage of the baking
process and the selected program. If an electricity breakdown occurs after
the rst kneading phase, the baking process will be stopped entirely since a
good result can no longer be obtained.

Instructions (Cont.)

End of the baking process

At the end of the baking process the bread maker will emit different sound
signals and the screen will display 0:00.

Keeping warm

For most of the programs, the appliance will automatically start the ‘keep
warm’ phase, which lasts for approximately one hour. Never keep the baked
bread longer than one hour in the appliance after the end of the baking
process, as the bread will lose its crustiness.

Removing bread from the appliance

• First press STOP, then remove the plug and carefully open the lid.

• Use oven mitts to remove the baking tin from the appliance and to remove
the bread from the tin.

ERROR MESSAGES

• You can start a new program immediately after the previous one. However,
it is possible that the LCD screen displays E01 or E00 when you press
START. [ E01 ] indicates that the inner unit's temperature is still higher
than 50°C; [ E00 ] indicates that the inner unit's temperature is too low. If
either of these messages are displayed, immediately press STOP, remove
the baking tin and let the appliance cool down (or warm up).

• Two other error messages may appear on the LCD screen. [ EEE ] is an
open circuit alarm, which indicates that the sensor connector is loose, or
the circuit/element is disconnected; [ HHH ] is a short circuit alarm, which
indicates a short circuit or that the sensor connector is welded together. In
either of those cases, press STOP, disconnect the unit and call for service.

TIP

If necessary, use a wooden spoon or spatula to help you remove the bread

from the rim of the baking tin. Then turn over the baking tin and slap gently

on the bottom of the tin to ease out the bread.

• Let the bread cool down on a wire rack.

Removing the kneading blades

• If the blades get stuck in the bread, use the kneading blade remover to
remove them, but only do so after the bread has completely cooled down.

• If the kneading blades are stuck in the baking tin and you cannot remove
them, place the baking tin in warm water to let it soak and try again.

There is a burnt smell
during the baking process.

There is smoke coming
from the steam holes.

You might have spilled
ingredients onto the
heating element.

During the mixing process,
a small amount of our, or
some raisins, may have
ended up in the baking
chamber. Remove these
ingredients as soon as the
machine has cooled down.

The kneading blade is
stuck in the bread when
trying to remove the bread
from the baking tin.

This common problem is easily xed. The supplied
kneading blade remover is designed especially for the
purpose of removing the blades from the bread. Put the
hook inside the bottom end of the kneading blade that
has come off. Once the blade is caught on the hook,
slide it gently out of the bread. Remove it carefully so
you do not tear the bread. Should this occur, it will not
affect the taste.

The dough is too stiff.

Some types of our absorb
more water than others, try
using 10-20mL extra water
next time.

Crusts are piling up
underneath the kneading
blade.

Clean the kneading blade
after every use.

The crust is wrinkly and
gets soft when the bread
cools down.

The steam released
inside the bread after
baking could soften the
crust.

Try using 10-20mL less
water, of halve the sugar to
reduce the amount of steam
generated.

How do I get a crusty
crust?

To make your bread crustier, try using the ‘French’
program and/or choose a 'Dark’ crust color. Or try
baking your bread for an extra 5–10 minutes in a
traditional oven at 200°C.

I cannot cut even slices.

The bread was still too
warm.

Let your bread cool down on
a wire rack before slicing it.

Other Useful Information

Cleaning the bread maker

• Baking tin

Wash the baking tin with a soft cloth in warm water with a little dish
detergent. Do not use any sharp or abrasive agents to protect the non­stick coating. Make sure the tin is completely dry before reinstalling it into
the bread maker.

• Kneading blades

Wash the kneading blades the same way as the baking tin. If a kneading
blade is difcult to remove from the spindle, ll the tin with warm water
and allow it to soak for approximately 30 minutes. The blade should then
come off easily for cleaning. Wipe the blade carefully with a damp cloth.

• Lid

If necessary, you can remove the lid for cleaning. Just lift it up and rmly
pull it upwards until it comes off the hinge. Wipe it clean, then reinsert it
rmly onto the hinge.

• Housing

Wipe the outer surface of the bread maker housing with a damp cloth. Do
not use any abrasive cleaners to clean it as this will degrade the surface.
Do not use a wet cloth.

• Fruit and nut dispenser

Take the plastic lid off the fruit and nut dispenser and wipe it clean or
wash it in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe the inside of the
dispenser with a damp cloth; do not use a wet cloth. Dry with a soft,
clean cloth.

IMPORTANT!

Never immerse the housing into water for cleaning.

Never let the heating element come into contact with water.

Never wash any parts of the bread maker or accessories in a dishwasher.

IMPORTANT!

Disconnect the appliance from the power and let it cool prior to cleaning.

Recipes

Before you start baking

Baking bread in your new bread maker is easy and will reward you with delicious,
freshly baked bread to enjoy, day after day. However, it is important that you
follow a few basic rules, which we have listed again below. Take the time to read
this advice, be patient and experiment with different recipes or bread mixes until
you have found your perfect loaf. Happy baking!

A FEW IMPORTANT BREAD-MAKING RULES

Baking 'from scratch'

The recipes in this section are for baking bread using commonly available
ingredients from supermarkets or grocery stores. When baking bread 'from
scratch', it is most important that all ingredients are properly measured,

at room temperature and added in the order they are listed, starting with
water (and then other wet ingredients), and following with flour (and
other dry ingredients).

Maintaining this order of ingredients is very important to ensure all ingredients
are properly mixed and to prevent premature yeast activation when using the
timer. To ensure that the yeast does not mix with the salt immediately, make
a little hole in the our and add the yeast, close the hole, then make another
little hole at the opposite side for the salt.

Add extra ingredients such as fruit, nuts or seeds in the fruit and nut
dispenser on top of the machine where they will be released into the dough at
the appropriate time.

Using a bread mix

If you use a prepackaged bread mix with yeast included, pour it in the baking
tin rst and then add water to it. (If the yeast is separate, put it in the tin rst,
then add the bread mix and then then water.) Select a program that matches
the type of our in the bread mix.

Using the delayed start timer

If you use the delay timer, make sure the yeast is not in contact with water,
salt or sugar, which could affect the yeast activity.

NOTE: Tablespoon (tbsp) = at measuring spoon (large)
Teaspoon (tsp) = at measuring spoon (small)

Cup = standard Australian 250mL measuring cup (ll the supplied

measuring cup up to the 250mL marking)

(9) Pizza Dough

Ingredients

Milk 240 mL

Olive Oil 2 tbsp

Bread Flour 450g

Dried Yeast 1 tsp

Salt 1 tsp

Recipes (Cont.)

(10) Pasta Dough

Ingredients

Plain Flour 490g

Eggs 4 (200g)

The Dough program (9) is for
kneading yeast dough only (no
baking). Use it to knead yeast dough
that you want to shape yourself by
hand and bake in an oven, or for
pizza crusts, pastry or bread rolls.
The dough is heated so that it can
rise, but it will not be baked. After
the kneading process you can bake
the dough in a traditional oven (at

220°C), or top it with your favourite

toppings and bake in a pizza oven

for approximately 20 minutes or until
crispy and cooked
to your liking.

The Pasta Dough program (10) is
similar to the dough program, but it is
specially designed for preparing yeast­free dough, for example, for pasta,
wafes, cake, biscuits or pies. This
program simply mixes and kneads the
dough; there is no baking involved.

When the dough is ready, take it
out of the bread maker and continue
processing as appropriate.

(12) Strawberry jam

Ingredients

Strawberries 500g

Sugar 250g

Lemon Juice (fresh) 3 tbsp

Lemon Juice
(concentrated)

1 tbsp

This program is for processing fresh
fruit or making marmalade or jam.
Place all ingredients in the bread
pan and follow the general usage
instructions to start cooking jam.

At the end of the program, remove
the pan wearing oven mitts. Carefully
pour the hot processed fruit into a
heat resistant and refrigerator safe
container, leaving 1cm space at the
top. Cover tightly. The jam will thicken
upon cooling. Do not exceed any the
quantities indicated to avoid the jam
boiling over and ending up in the
baking chamber.
