Accurate measuring is essential
It is essential to measure ingredient quantities carefully, even slight
changes may effect loaf quality.
Yeast content
If the loaf rises too high and then collapses, ensure the ingredients
were measured accurately. If the problem persists, reduce the yeast
by a quarter of a teaspoon.

in the recipe.
• Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do
not use larger amounts.
Before first use
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.
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.
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.
1 Carefully unpack the breadmaker and remove all
packaging materials.
2 Remove any dust that may have accumulated
during packing.
3 Wipe 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.
4 For first time, use oil, butter or margarine to grease
the bread pan and bake empty for about 10
minutes (select the Extrabake program).
5 Clean once more.
6 Place the kneading blade on the axle in the baking
pan.
During manufacturing, 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.

Program descriptions
1 Basic white (3:00 and 2:53)
For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured
breads with added herbs and raisins.
2 French (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. Wholewheat
usually produces a crispy thick crust.
4 Cake (1:40)
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).
5 Sweet (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 (1:10)
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 Fastbake II (1:15)
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.
8 Dough (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 Speciality (2:50)
For bread types that are required in a shorter time.
Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a
dense texture.
11 Sandwich (3:00 and 2:55)
This is to bake light texture bread but with a softer
but thicker crust.
12 Extra bake (0:10)
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 10
mins (0:10) minimum and counts down in 1 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 up to a maximum 1 hour.
Do not use the extrabake programme for more than
1 hour, as over heating of the product may occur.

Using your breadmaker
1 Take 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.
2 Attach the blade
Attach the kneading blade to the shaft by pushing
on. Ensure the blade is in the upright position
before adding ingredients shown on page 9.
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.
4 Put pan back in
Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker,
turning clockwise to lock into place. Close the lid.
5 Plug 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.
6 Select program
Choose the desired setting from the list by pressing
the Menu button.
7 Select weight
Press Loaf size button to choose between small or
large.
8 Select colour
Choose desired crust colour by pressing Colour
button.
9 Select 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 and take 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 it’s 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 recommend the room temperature should be
between 15
o
C and 34oC.
