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 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 the desired programme from

the menu, and your choice of loaf
size and colour, then press start.

3 Wait for your bread and enjoy.

But don't stop at baking bread in this
appliance. Besides being able to do
all kinds of specialty breads,
including wholewheat, you can also
prepare dough 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 future 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 sur face 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 par t of the
breadmaker.

4 The first time you use your

breadmaker use oil, butter or
margarine to grease the bread pan
and bake empty for about 10
minutes (select the bake
programme).

5 Let it cool down and clean once

more. Dry all parts thoroughly.

6 Place 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.

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
the kneading blade doesn’t chop
them. The signal will beep ten times.

• 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.

Programme descriptions

1 Basic (3.00 and 2.55)

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

2 Wholewheat (3.40 and 3.32)

For baking of bread containing
significant amounts of wholewheat.
This setting has a longer preheat
time to allow the grain to soak up
the water and expand. It is not
advised to use the delay function as
this can produce poor results.
Wholewheat usually produces a
crispy thick crust.

3 French (3.50 and 3.40)

For the baking of lightweight bread
such as French bread which has a
crisper crust and lighter texture.

4 Speciality (2.10)

For the baking of a 2lb (not 1.5Ib)
‘basic’ loaf in a reduced time
period. The bread baked on this
setting is usually smaller with more
moist and dense texture.

• For ‘speciality’ bread they are made
with baking powder or baking soda,
which will activate with moisture
and heat. For perfect ‘speciality’
breads, it is suggested that all liquid
should be placed in the bottom of
the bread pan. It is necessary to
help the machine to mix to avoid
flour clumps.

5 Sweet (2.50 and 2.45)

For the baking of a sweet type of
bread, which gives a crisper crust
than on basic setting. The crisper
crust is produced by the sugar
‘burning’. You may also add
ingredients for extra flavour.

6 Cake (1.50)

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, page 22).

7 Jam (1.20)

Use this setting for making jams
from fresh fruits and marmalades
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 and remove the pan
carefully. Allow to cool a little and
clean thoroughly.

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 (2Ib) of
combined ingredients.

9 Fastbake (1.38 and 1.28)

For the baking of a ‘basic’ loaf in a
reduced time period. The bread
baked on this setting is usually
smaller with more moist and dense
texture.

• The breadmaker can bake a loaf
within 1 hour 38 minutes with this
programme. Please note that hot
water should be used: 48-50°C. The
influence of temperature is very
critical to the performance of
baking. If the water temperature is
too high, the fungus in the yeast will
be killed before rising, which also
will affect the baking per formance.

10 Bake (0.10)

For baking ingredients with no
kneading or rising. Also used for
increasing the baking time on
selected settings.

11 Dessert (1.38)

For baking desserts, that only
require one kneading and one rise.

12 Homemade (3.00)

This option allows you to take over
as the baker. You can self­programme by using this setting
and cycling through the options on
the HOMEMADE button. You can
customise the times for kneading,
rise, baking, keep warm... every
step. The time range of each
programme is below:

Knead 1 6-14 minutes

Rise 1 20-60 minutes

Knead 2 5 -20 minutes

Rise 2 5-120 minutes

Rise 3 0-120 minutes

Bake 0-80 minutes

Keep warm 0-60 minutes

BM48271 Rev2 18/7/07 16:32 Page 9

Once you have selected
programme 12 from the MENU:

a) Touch the HOMEMADE button

once, KNEAD 1 will appear on the
LCD display, then touch the TIME
button to adjust the minutes, and
then touch the HOMEMADE button
to confirm the time for this step.

b) Touch the HOMEMADE button to

enter the next step, RISE 1 will
appear on LCD display, then touch
the TIME button to adjust minutes,
the number will increase quickly
once you hold the TIME button. The
time will only increase in minutes. To
decrease the amount of minutes,
touch the TIME button until you
reach the MAX time, then touch the
TIME button again to return to “0”.
You can then touch the TIME button
to increase to the required time.
Touch the HOMEMADE button to
confirm the time for this step.

c) Following the same method as for

the KNEAD 1 and RISE 1, set the
remaining steps. Upon finishing
setting all; the steps, touch the
START/STOP button to exit the
setting.

d) Touch Start/stop button again to

activate the operation.

NOTE: The setting can be
memorised and ready for the next
time you use the breadmaker.

Start/stop

For starting and stopping the
selected baking programme.

To start a programme, touch the
START/STOP button once. A short
beep will be heard and the two dots
in the time display begin to flash and
programme starts. Any other button
is inactivated except the
START/STOP, LIGHT and PAUSE
buttons after a programme has
switched off. This feature will help to
prevent any unintentional disruption
to the operation of programme.

To stop the programme, touch the
START/STOP button for 2 seconds,
a beep will sound to confirm.

Time

Use the timer when you want the
bread to be ready later or in the
morning. A maximum of 13 hours
can be set. Check if this function is
available by looking at “Baking cycle
times’ on page 30 for further
instructions.

Pause

After the baking cycle starts, you
can touch the PAUSE button to
interrupt the process at any time.
The operation will be paused but
the setting will be memorised, the
outstanding time will be flashed on
the LCD. Touch the PAUSE button
again and the programme will
continue.

Memory

If the power supply has been
interrupted during the course of
making bread, the process of
making bread will be continued
automatically within 10 minutes,
without touching the STOP/START
button . If the interruption time
exceeds 10 minutes, the memory
cannot be kept, you must discard
the ingredients into the baking pan
and add the ingredients into the
baking pan again, and the
breadmaker must be restarted. But
if the dough has not entered the
rising phase when the power supply
breaks off, you can’t touch the
START/STOP button directly to
continue the programme from the
beginning.

Keep warm

Bread can be automatically kept
warm for 1 hour after baking. Hot air
will be circulated to keep it warm.
The function can be used on most
settings (See ‘Baking cycle times’
section). During keeping warm, if
you would like to take the bread out,
switch the programme off by
touching the START/STOP button

.

BM48271 Rev2 18/7/07 16:32 Page 10

• For best results, remove the baking
pan and loaf within this period or
when the initial programme is
completed.

Internal light

Touch the button once, and the light
will turn on. This lets you clearly see
what is happening in the baking
process, so you can see the clever
ways the machine works and keep a
close eye on what you’re baking.
Touch the button again to turn the
light off or after 1 minute the light
will automatically turn off.

Beeper

The beeper sound:

• When pressing any button

• During the second kneading cycle
to indicate other ingredients can be
added

• When the programme finishes

• When the keep warm finishes

Baking environment

The machine can work well in a
wide range of temperatures, but
there may be a difference in loaf
size between a very warm room and
a very cold room. We recommend
the room temperature should be
between 15-34°.

WARNING DISPLAY:

1 If the display shows “H HH” after

the programme has started, the
temperature inside is still too high
and the programme has to be
stopped. Open the lid and let the
machine cool down for 10 to 20
minutes.

2 If the display shows “E E0” or “E

E1” after you have touched
START/STOP , the temperature
sensor has a fault - please contact
the Morphy Richards helpline (see
page 38).

Using your breadmaker

1 Take out the pan

Open the lid and remove the pan by
lifting the handle, turning anti­clockwise and lifting out. Place on
the 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. Attach the blade before
filling with ingredients.

2 Attach the blade

Attach the kneading blade to the
shaft by pushing on. It is
recommended to grease the
kneading blade with sunflower oil to
avoid the dough sticking to the
kneading blade, also this enables
the kneading blade to be removed
from the baked item easily.

3 Measure the ingredients

Measure the ingredients required
and add them all into the pan in the
order listed (see later section
‘Measuring your ingredients’, page

16).

When adding the yeast to the
baking pan, take care that the yeast
does not activate immediately.

TIP: Make a small indentation on
the top of flour with the finger; add
yeast into the indentation A.

• Use tepid water 21 - 28°

4 Put the pan back in

Place the baking pan back into the
breadmaker, turning clockwise to
lock into place. Close the lid gently
and plug into the power supply.

5 Turn on the switch at the back of

the breadmaker.

6 Select programme (MENU

button)

Choosing the desired setting from 1-

12.
Press the menu button until the
desired setting from 1 -12 is shown
on the LCD display. Each time the
button is touched a short beep will
sound to indicate movement from
one setting to another. Select your
desired programme.

BM48271 Rev2 18/7/07 16:32 Page 11

12

7 Select colour

Pressing the button you can select
either LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK
colour for the crust.

8 Select weight/loaf size

Touch this button to select the size
of the loaf (1.5lb or 2.0lb) Please
note the total operation time may
vary with the different loaf sizes.

9 Set the delay time

Use if you wish the bread to be
ready later by touching the TIME
button. A maximum of 13 hours can
be set. Check if this function is
available by looking at ‘Baking cycle
times’ on page 30. Do not use this
function with recipes that use
perishable ingredients such as
eggs, fresh milk, sour cream,
cheese or onions etc.

• Make sure you have selected a
programme from the menu, the
crust colour and the loaf size.

• Decide when you want the bread to
be ready and calculate the
difference in time between now and
then. For example, if you want a loaf
at 7am, and it is now 8.30, the day
before, the difference is 10 1/2
hours.

• Enter this time by touching the TIME
button continuously until 10.30
appears on the display. (The
increment of each touch is 10
minutes).

• Touch the STOP/START button
to activate this delay programme.

The colon (:) will flash and the LCD
will count down to show the
remaining time.

This step may be skipped if you
want the breadmaker to start
working immediately.

10 Touch the START/STOP button to

start working. The breadmaker will
automatically proceed through the
programmed stages as shown in the
‘Baking Cycle Times’ section on
page 30. The LCD will display in ­turn each part of the process to
indicate where it is in the baking
cycle i.e. KNEAD 1.

11 Adding ingredients signal for the

programme of WHOLEWHEAT,
FRENCH, SPECIALITY, SWEET,
CAKE, FASTBAKE and HOMEMADE
beeps will be heard during
operation, to prompt you and add
any ingredients. It is possible that
steam will escape through the vent
in the lid during baking. This is
normal.

12 Finish

Once the process has been
completed, one beep will be heard.
You can touch START/STOP button

for approx. 1.5 seconds to stop
the process and take out the bread.
Open the lid and using oven gloves,
turn the bread pan anti-clockwise
and take out the bread pan.

CAUTION: the bread pan and bread
will be very hot! Always handle with
care.

Once you have taken out the bread
pan, let the bread cool in the pan
for 15 minutes. Use a non-stick
spatula to gently loosen the sides of
the bread from the pan.

Then turn the pan upside down and
tap the bread from the pan onto a
wire cooling rack or a clean cooking
surface until the bread falls out. Fill
the pan with warm water
immediately to prevent the blade
sticking to the shaft.

NOTE: 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 non­stick surface. The loaf is hot, so
never use the hand to remove the
kneading blade.

13 Let the bread cool for about 15-30

minutes before slicing. Use an
electric cutter or a sharp knife with
serrated blade for even slices.

14 If you are out of the room or have

not touched START/STOP button
at the end of operation, the bread
will be kept warm automatically for
1 hour, when keep warm is finished,
10 beeps will be heard.
