Introduction

The smell of homemade bread wafting around the home is one of those great smells. Bread, fresh out

of the oven, with melting butter is a memorable taste sensation. The Morphy Richards automatic breadmaker can create that experience every morning.

There's very little effort on the part of the baker, because the breadmaker is a sophisticated appliance with a computer memory that does all the work for you.

Before first use

Before first use, please take a few minutes to read this instruction book and to find a place to keep it handy for reference. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions.

1Carefully unpack the breadmaker and remove all packaging materials.

2Remove any dust that may have accumulated during packing

3Wipe the baking pan, kneading blade and outside surface of the breadmaker with a clean, damp cloth. The bread pan is non-stick coated. Do not use scouring pads or any abrasives on any part of

It’s as simple as one-two-three. 1 Put in the ingredients.

2 Select program from the menus and press start.

3 Wait for your bread.

But don't stop at baking bread in this appliance. Besides being able to do all kinds of speciality breads, including wholewheat, you can also prepare doughs for bread rolls, pizza, cake and jam. Everything is easy and tastes homemade - because it is.

the breadmaker.

4For first time use use oil, butter or margerine to grease the bread pan and bake empty for about 10 minutes (select the Extrabake program).

5 Clean once more.

6Place the kneading blade on the axle in the baking pan.

In manufacture it is necessary to lightly

grease some parts of the appliance. This may result in the unit emitting some vapour when first used, this is normal.

Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).

If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, the plug should be removed and the appropriate one fitted.

Note: The plug removed from the mains lead, if

severed, must be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

recipe).
• A Fruit and Nut beep signals when extra
ingredients can be added so they don’t get
chopped by the kneading blade.

Program descriptions

1 B asic white (3:00 and 2:53)

For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisin.

2French (3:50 and 3:40)

For the baking of light weight bread such as french bread which has a crisper crust and light texture.

3	Wholewheat (3:40 and 3:32)
	For the baking of bread containing significant
	amounts of wholewheat. This setting has longer
	preheat time to allow the grain to soak up the
	water and expand. It is not advised to use the
	delay timer as this can produce poor results.
4	Quick (1:40)
	For white bread that is required in a shorter time.
	Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with
	a dense texture.

5Sweet (2:55 and 2:50)

For the baking of sweet type bread which gives a crisper crust than on basic setting. The crisper crust is produced by the sugar ‘burning’.

6	Fastbake I	(0:58)
	For preparation of a 1.5lb white loaf in a reduced
	time period. Loaves made on this setting can be
	shorter and the texture more moist.
7	F astbake II	(0:58)
	For preparation of a 2lb white loaf in a reduced
	time period. Loaves made on this setting can be
	shorter and the texture more moist.

8Dough (1:30)

This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the final bread. Remove the dough and shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not exceed 1kg (2lb) of combined ingredients.

9 Jam	(1:20)
Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits
and marmalade from Seville oranges. Do not
increase the quantity or allow the recipe to boil
over the pan into the baking chamber. Should this
happen, stop the machine immediately. Remove
the pan carefully, allow to cool a little and clean
thoroughly.
10 Cake	(2:50)
This setting will mix ingredients and then bake for
a preset time. It is required to mix two groups of
ingredients in bowls before adding to the
breadmaker (see cake recipes).
11 Sandwich		(3:00 and 2:55)
This is to bake light texture bread but with a softer
but thicker crust.
12 Extra bake		(1:00)
This setting is bake only and can be used to
increase the baking time on selected settings. This
is especially useful to help ‘set’ jams and
marmalade. When started the default time is 1

hour (1:00) minimum and counts down in 10 minute intervals. You will have to manually switch this off by pressing the stop button, when you have completed the Extrabake process. It is advised that you check the condition of the bread or jam after 10 minutes and at 10 minute intervals. Pressing increases the time in increments of 10 minutes.

When selecting Extrabake straight after another program, if the message H:HH is displayed, open the lid, remove the pan and allow to cool for 10 minutes. When cool, replace the baking pan and its contents, set program and press start.

Using your breadmaker

1Take out the pan

Open the lid and remove the pan by lifting the handle, turning anti-clockwise and lifting out. Place on the work surface. It is important that the pan is filled with ingredients outside the machine so that any accidental spillage is not ignited by the heating elements.

2Attach the blade

Attach the kneading blade to the shaft by pushing on.

3 Measure ingredients

Measure the ingredients required and add them all into the pan in the order listed. See later section ‘Measuring your ingredients’).

•When adding the yeast to the baking pan, take care that the yeast does not come into contact with the water or any other liquid, as it will start to activate immediately.

•Use tepid water 21-28ºC.

4P ut pan back in

Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker, turning clockwise to lock into place. Close the lid.

5Plug in

Plug into the power supply. The breadmaker will

automatically be set to basic bread menu and normal time.

•Everytime you press a button you will hear a beep to confirm.

6Select program

Choose the desired setting from the list by pressing the Menu button.

7Select weight

Press Loaf size button to choose between small or large.

8Select colour

Choose desired crust colour by pressing Colour button.

9Select the delay time

If you wish the bread to be ready later, set the time delay now, as described in next section.

10 Start

Press the Start Stop button to start the machine. The remaining time will count down in one minute increments.

11 Progress

The breadmaker will automatically proceed through the programmed stages as shown in the ‘Baking cycle times’ section. If the breadmaker has a program selected that has a second kneading process, beeps sound to inform that fruits and/or nuts may be added.

•It is possible that steam will escape through the vents during baking, this is normal.

12 Finish

When the program is completed and the bread is baked the display shows 0:00 and the beeper will sound.

13 Keep warm

The keep warm function will circulate hot air for a further 60 minutes on most settings (see ‘Baking cycle times’ section). For best results, remove the baking pan and loaf within this period or when the initial program is completed. 10 beeps will be heard when the keep warm period is finished.

14 Remove the food

Press Stop. Open the lid.

WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing the baking pan (taking care as it is very hot).

15Turn out the bread

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes,

then turn the pan upside down and tap the bread from the pan onto a rack to cool. Fill the pan with warm water immediately to prevent the blade from sticking to the shaft.

•Occasionally the kneading blade will stay in the loaf. Wait until the loaf is cool and then remove the blade with a wooden or plastic utensil to avoid damage to the non-stick surface.

16 Always unplug the appliance after use.

•Do not open the lid whilst the breadmaker is operating as this will affect the quality of the bread, especially its ability to rise properly. Only open the lid when the recipe needs you to add additional ingredients, see recipes.

Room temperature note

The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of temperatures, but there could be a difference in loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room. We recomend the room temperature should be between 15ºC and 34ºC.
