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.

It’s as simple as one-two-three.

1Put in the ingredients.

2Select program from the menus and press start.

3Wait 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.

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

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).

5Clean 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.

About this breadmaker

It has two settings to make a small 680g (1.5lb) or large 907g (2lb) loaf (approx weight - depends on recipe).

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

The 1.5lb setting can be used to make a 1lb loaf for some of the recipes.

About the recipes

The recipes in this booklet have been thoroughly tested to ensure best results. Recipes have been created by home economists specifically for this machine and may not produce acceptable results in other similar machines.

Always add ingredients in the order they are listed in the recipe.

Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do not use larger amounts.

Program descriptions

1Basic 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.

3Wholewheat (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.

4Quick (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’.

6Fastbake 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.

7Fastbake 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.

9Jam (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.

10Cake (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).

11Sandwich (3:00 and 2:55)

This is to bake light texture bread but with a softer but thicker crust.

12Extra 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.

3Measure 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.

4Put 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.

10Start

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

11Progress

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.

12Finish

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

13Keep 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.

14Remove the food

Press Stop. Open the lid.

WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing

the baking pan (taking care as it is very hot).

15 Turn 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.
