About This Breadmaker

• It has three settings to make a small 450g (1lb,) medium 680g (1.5lb) or large 907g (2lb) loaf. N.B. Weights are approximate and depend on recipe.

• A Fruit and Nut beep signals when extra ingredients can be added so they don’t get chopped by the kneading blade. See page 12.

Kneading Blade

• Clean the blade every time after use, ensure the blade rotates freely on the spindle before each use, you can add a little sunflower oil to the rotating shaft before putting it back into the pan. This will then be ready for next use.

Programme Number Descriptions

1 Basic white and brown (2:51 -

3:00) For white and brown bread.

Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisins.

2 Wholewheat (3:32 - 3:40)

For the 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 timer as this can produce poor results.

3 Sweet (2:35 - 2:45)

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

4 Sandwich (2:55 - 3:00)

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

5 French (3:30 - 3:50)

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

6 Dough (1:30)

This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the 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.

7 Jam (1:20)

Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits and marmalade. 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.

8 Bread mixes (2:30)

For preparation of approximately a 1lb loaf, using a packet of shop bought bread mix. These mixes usually come in two varieties: ‘Just add water’ and ‘Just add flour and water’.

9 Speciality (2:50)

The bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a more moist and dense texture. These breads do not use bread flour.

10 Gluten Free (2:35)

Gluten free breads are yeast leavened breads where gluten (a protein part of the wheat / oats / barley / rye) is removed. People who cannot tolerate gluten in their diet (known as Coeliacs), can obtain gluten free flour on prescription. It is found in most high street chemists and health food stores but can be expensive.

11 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.

12 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.

13 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 start /stop button, when you have completed the Extra bake 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 Extra

bake straight after another programme, 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 programme and press start.

14 Pizza dough* (0:50)

This setting can be used to mix plain or flavoured pizza dough, as well as fresh pasta dough. Once the programme is complete, the dough can be removed from the machine and shaped into pizza bases to be cooked in the oven, or cut into pasta to be boiled.

15 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.

16 Cake* (1:10)

Your Morphy Richards breadmaker can also be used to bake a selection of cakes. The process is as simple as making bread; just follow the recipes provided on pages 22 and 24. Alternatively you can also use the machine to make cakes from a cake mix where all you need to do is add water. In this instance, you should ensure the mixture is combined with the water before adding it to the machine.

17 Dessert* (2:50)

This setting allows you to make other desserts as well as cakes in your breadmaker. The process is again straightforward and simple; just follow the recipes carefully on page 25.

*Only available on 48323 model

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.

1 Carefully unpack the breadmaker

and remove all packaging materials.

2 Remove any dust that may have

accumulated during packing.

3 Wipe the outside surface of the

breadmaker with a clean, damp cloth. Wash the baking pan and kneading blade (see care and cleaning on page 8).

48322 a4:45xxx rev1 11/01/2010 09:26 Page 6

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 Extra bake programme).

5 Clean once more.

6 Place the kneading blade ‚ on the

shaft „ in the baking pan ·.

NOTE: 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.

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 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.

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 programme 1, 2lb loaf and medium crust.

• Every time you press a button you will hear a beep to confirm.

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

6 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.

7 Sometimes 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.

8 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 recommend the room temperature should be between 15ºC and 34ºC.

Pause Function

• Press the start button Ë during or up to the end of the first knead to pause the programme for 5 minutes.

Light

• Press the light / programme selection button ‰ during the programme cycle to switch on for 30 seconds (interior light on 48323 model only.)

PROGRAMMING THE BREADMAKER

Selecting the Programme

• Press Programme button ‰ until

the programme number you want appears in the top left corner of the screen È. The cycle time of the programme Í will automatically appear on the screen too and change as you add your options. The time is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down to zero hours and minutes once the programme is started Í.

Selecting the Loaf Size

• There are 3 different size loaves which can be made, depending upon which programme you use. The loaf size icons are:

• To select your loaf size, press the loaf size button Á until the correct size of loaf appears in the bottom left hand corner of the screen Ì.

Note: Only the loaf sizes available for the programme selected will appear. Keep pressing the button until you get to the size you want.

Selecting the Crust Setting

You can choose from 5 different crust settings.

• Press the Crust Control button Ê until the symbol for the crust setting you want appears.

Filling the Fruit and Nut Dispenser*

• If you have selected a recipe that uses the fruit and nut dispenser, you should fill it now. The dispenser should be filled with one cupful of dry ingredients using the measuring cup provided. Please ensure that you do not overfill the dispenser as this may stop it from functioning.

• If filling the dispenser with fruit, check that the fruit is separated before adding it. Failure to do so may result in the dispenser not functioning, or the fruit not being distributed evenly through the bread mixture. Ideally, fruit should be dusted with flour prior to being added to the dispenser to stop it from sticking together.

* Only applies to model 48323.

Using the Timer

• Once you have chosen the programme, loaf size and crust setting, you can either bake the loaf immediately or delay the loaf baking time to end in up to 12 hours time. Go to ‘Baking The Loaf’ section to bake the loaf immediately.

• NOTE: The timer cannot be used with the Fastbake, dough and jam programmes.

• NOTE: Do not use this function with recipes that use perishable ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream or cheese.

• Press the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons Â to delay the finish time of your loaf. A single press of the ‘+’ will add 10 minutes to the time or press and hold the ‘+’ button to scroll faster through the time. The ‘-’ button only becomes active once the ‘+’ has been pressed.

• Symbol Î shows on the screen as

the cycle time updates. The total time shown on the screen will include the baking time and delay. For example, if a loaf takes 3 hours to bake and you have delayed the start of baking for 5 hours, the screen will countdown from 8 hours with symbol Î showing on the screen. When the baking starts, the Î symbol will disappear as the delay has finished.

Baking the Loaf

• To bake the loaf press the

Start/Stop button Ë and the breadmaker will start baking the loaf.

• During the baking process several other icons will appear on the screen, which denote which stage of baking the programme is currently at.

• The numbers indicated by Ï relate to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd ‘Knead’ and ‘Rise’ stage. Every loaf follows the same process of 1st knead, 1st rise, 2nd knead, 2nd rise, and finally a 3rd rise.

• Ô is the symbol which shows on the LCD display for ‘kneading’ and  is the symbol which shows on the LCD for ‘rising’. The numbers ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ Ï show accordingly.

• When the loaf has finished baking the breadmaker will beep for 3 seconds and the breadmaker automatically goes into ‘Keep warm’ mode (Ò flashes) for 60 minutes. These minutes are counted up on the display.

• The Start/Stop button Ë can be pressed at any time during the keep warm function to stop it so the bread can be removed.

Beeper

The beeper sounds:

• When pressing any button

• During the second kneading cycle of certain programmes to indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or other ingredients can be added. (On 48323 the fruits and nuts are added automatically.)

• When the programme finishes.

• When keep warm finishes.

Power Interruption

After a brief power supply failure:

• If the programme has not yet

reached rise 1, press Start/Stop Ë and the programme will continue using the automatic repeat function.

• If it has gone beyond this point, the process must be started from the very beginning. The ingredients will have to be discarded and you must start again with fresh ingredients.

Slicing and Storing Bread

For best results place bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for 1530 minutes before slicing.

Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated blade for even slices.

Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to three days. If weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator overnight.

For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer.

If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Since homemade bread has no preservatives it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially made bread.

Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into 1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or stuffing.

Care and Cleaning

1 Caution: To prevent electrical

shock, unplug the unit before cleaning.

2 Wait until the breadmaker has

cooled.

• IMPORTANT: Do not immerse or splash either the body or lid in any liquid as this may cause damage and/or electric shock.

48322 a4:45xxx rev1 11/01/2010 09:26 Page 8

3 Exterior: Wipe the lid and outer

body of the unit with a damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge.

4 Interior: Use a damp cloth or

sponge to wipe the interior of the breadmaker.

5 Baking pan: Clean the baking pan

with warm water, soap is not necessary. Avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Dry it thoroughly before placing it back in the baking chamber.

6 Fruit and nut dispenser (only

available on model 48323): The dispenser is removed by lifting the right side first. Once the right side has been lifted, the whole dispenser may be removed. The dispenser should be cleaned using warm soapy water and a damp cloth/sponge. It should then be rinsed thoroughly and left to dry naturally. To replace the dispenser, ensure the left side is slotted in to place first. The right side can then be pushed down, back in to position until it clicks.

• Do not wash the baking pan, measuring cup, spoon or kneading blades in the dishwasher.

• Do not soak the baking pan for long periods as this could interfere with the working of the drive shaft.

• If the paddle becomes stuck in the bread pan, pour hot water over it and allow to soak for 30 minutes. This will enable you to remove the paddle more easily.

• Be sure the appliance is completely cooled before storing away.

Do not use Steel wool pads when cleaning.

Special care for the non-stick finish. Avoid damaging the coating.

Do not use metal utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks. The coating may change colour after long use, this is only caused by moisture and steam and will not affect the performance of the unit or quality of your bread.

The hole in the centre of the kneading blade should be cleaned, then add a drop of cooking oil and replace it on the spindle in the baking pan. This will prevent sticking of the blade.

• Keep all air vents and openings clear of dust.

Storing the Unit

Be sure to dry all parts before storing including wiping any moisture from the viewing window. Close the lid and do not store anything on top of the lid.

Getting Successful Results

1 Place all recipe ingredients into the

baking pan so that yeast is not touching any liquid.

2 If you are using the machine on the

Dough setting (programme 6), after the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the breadmaker, cover in a thin coating of sunflower oil and cover with greaseproof paper and a dry tea towel. The dough should then be left in a warm area free from draughts, for approximately 30 minutes or until it has roughly doubled in size.

3 Humidity can cause problems,

therefore humidity and high altitudes require adjustments. For high humidity, add an extra tablespoon of flour if consistency is not right. For high altitudes, decrease yeast amount by approximately 1/4 teaspoon, and decrease sugar and/or water or milk slightly.

4 The DOUGH setting is great for the

mixing, kneading and proofing (allowing dough to rise) of richer doughs like croissant dough. Use the breadmaker to prepare this dough so all you need to do is shape and bake it according to your recipe.

5 When recipes call for a ‘lightly

floured surface,’ use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour on the surface. You may want to lightly flour your fingers or rolling pin for easy dough manipulation.

6 When you let dough ‘rest’ and ‘rise’

according to a recipe, place it in a warm, draught-free area. If the dough does not double in size, it may not produce a tender product.

7 If the dough you are rolling shrinks

back, let it rest covered for a few minutes before rolling again.

8 Dough may be wrapped in plastic

and stored in a freezer for later use. Bring the dough to room temperature before using.

9 After 5 minutes of kneading, open

the lid and check the dough consistency. The dough should form a soft, smooth ball. If too dry, add liquid. If too wet, add flour (1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time).

Measuring ingredients

The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately. It is extremely important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. Do not use normal kitchen teaspoons or tablespoons. The ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid and dry ingredients should be measured as follows:

Measuring cup

The cup is marked in various ‘volume measurement’ scales. The recipes in this book use the ‘cup’ volume which is based on the ‘American’ cup of 8 floz and is conveniently marked in 1/16 divisions.

• If you prefer to use weight (gms) as a measurement, fill and weigh the required number of cups and record this conversion. ie: 2 cups = xx gms

3 cups = xxx gms

You must use a good quality set of accurate scales, we prefer to use the ‘cup’ measure for consistency and accuracy.
