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.

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 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 margerine to grease

the bread pan and bake empty for about 10 minutes (select the Extrabake program).

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.

5 Allow to cool and clean once more. 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. 7 This breadmaker is fitted with mains switch at the

rear of the machine, it can be left permanently

switched on ready for use.

The breadmaker programme is started by the start-

stop button on the control panel.

If when you plug in the breadmaker and switch on

at the mains there is no display, make sure the

on/off switch at the rear of the breadmaker is

switched to the ‘I’ ON position.

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.

• Fruit and nut dispenser automatically dispenses the fruit, nut, olives etc. into the dough at the correct time ensuring these ingredients are evenly distributed.

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

• Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do

not use larger amounts. Use the measuring cup and spoons provided.

Program descriptions

1 Basic white (2:50 and 2:45)

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

2 Wholewheat (4:30 and 4:25)

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. The kneading blade does not turn during this 30 minute rest period. It is not advised to use the delay timer as this can produce poor results. It has been found that some wholemeal

flours perform better on the basic menu setting.

3 French (3:40 and 3:36)

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

4 Rapide (1:58 and 1:56)

For white bread that is required in a shorter time. Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a dense texture.

5 Sweet (3:25 and 3:22)

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 Cake (1:40 and 1:34)

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).

10 Jam (1:25)

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.

11 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 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 E:01 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.

Times indicated are for loaf size option, crust colour selection will vary these times. See cycle chart page

21.

7 Pasta (0:13)

The pasta setting is a 13 minute knead which can be used for general mixing of other flour based recipes. Do not exceed 3 cups of dry mix.

8 Fastbake (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. Water temperature 32-38˚C.

9 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.

Using your breadmaker

1 Take out the pan

Open the lid and remove the pan by lifting the handle, 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 21-28˚C.

4 Put pan back in

Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker, Press until it locks into place. Close the lid.

4a If using the fruit and nut dispenser, lift the lid of the

dispenser, add the measured quantity (maximum a cup) of fruit and nuts, olives etc. 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.

Progress

The breadmaker will automatically proceed through the programmed stages as shown in the ‘Baking cycle times’ section.

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

12 Finish

When the program is completed baked 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. 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).

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. If the blade sticks in the pan, fill the pan with warm water to prevent the blade from sticking to the shaft.

• 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.

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˚C and 34˚C.

Using the timer

Use the timer when you want the bread ready later,

or in the morning. A maximum of 12 hours can be set. Check if function is available by consulting ‘Baking cycle times’ section. Do not use this function with recipes that use perishable ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese. 1 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 8am, and it is now 7.30pm, the difference is 12

hours.

Beeper

The beeper sounds:

• when pressing any button;

• when the program finishes;

•when keep warm finishes.

Power interuption

1 After a brief power supply failure 7 minutes MAX.

• if the program has not yet reached rise 1, press Start and the program 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.

2 In the unlikely event that there is a power failure

when the fruit & nut dispenser is in operation, it may prevent the tray mechanism from closing. When the breadmaker is used again the cycle will be completed and the tray can be closed by pressing in. The breadmaker will function normally during this ‘used again’ time, however the fruit & nut dispenser function cannot be used.

Slicing and storing bread

For best results place bread on a wire rack and

allow to cool for 20-40 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, after 4 to 5 days.

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.

3 Exterior: Wipe the lid and outer body of the unit with

a damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge.

4 Brown staining of the lids inner surface and vents

may be seen. This is vapour residue from the ingredients carried up in the escaping steam during baking. This has no detrimental affect to the material of the breadmaker or quality of the baked loaf. Simply wipe this away with a hot soapy cloth or sponge after every use or when it appears.

5 Interior: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the

interior of the breadmaker.

6 Lift the lid to the vertical position and lift upwards.

Wipe the interior surface with a damp cloth or sponge.

Do not use any of these when cleaning

• Paint thinner

• Benzine

• Steel wool pads

• Polishing powder

• Chemical dustcloth

Special care for the non-stick finish

Avoid damaging the coating. Do not use metal

utensils such as metal spatulas, knives or forks.

The coating may change colour after long use, this is only caused by heat and moisture and will not affect the performance of the unit or quality of your bread.

The hole in the centre of the kneading blade shoud 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.

Figure 1

7 Fruit and nut dispenser: always keep the interior of

the dispenser clean. To ensure continued operation, first remove the lid as previously described. Press the button see fig 1, allow the tray to drop, wipe clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Close the tray until it locks back into place and replace the lid.

8 Baking pan: Clean the baking pan with warm water,

soap is not necessary. Avoid scratching the nonstick surface. Dry it thoroughly before placing it back in the baking chamber.

• 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.

Know your ingredients

Understanding baking

It is often said that cooking is an art relying on the creativity of the chef while baking bread is much more of a science. This means that the process of combining flour, water and yeast results in a reaction that produces bread. You have to remember that when the ingredients combine with each other they produce a specific result. Read the following information carefully to gain a better understanding of the importance each ingredient plays in the breadmaking process.

Important note on flours

Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different by virtue of how they were grown, milled, stored, etc. You may find that you will have to experiment with different brands of flour to help you make that perfect loaf. Storage is also very important, as all flours should be kept in an airtight container.

All purpose flour/plain flour

All purpose Flour is a blend of refined hard and soft wheat flours especially suitable for making cake. This type of flour should be used for recipes in the cake/quick bread section.

Strong white flour/bread flour

Bread flour is a high gluten/protein flour that has been treated with conditioners that give dough a greater suitability for kneading. Bread Flour typically has a higher gluten concentration than All purpose flour; however, depending on different milling practices, this may vary. Strong plain flour or bread flour are recommended for use with this breadmaker.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal comes from rolled or steel-cut oats. They

are used primarily to enhance flavour and texture.

Other ingredients

Yeasts (active dry yeast)

Yeast through a fermentation process produces gas (carbon dioxide) necessary to make the bread rise. Yeast must be able to feed on sugar and flour carbohydrates in order to produce this gas. Fast action granular yeast is used in all recipes that call for yeast. There are basically three different types of yeast available, fresh, traditional dry active and fast action.

action type yeast be used. This type of yeast comes in sachets and are labelled fast action, easy bake or easyblend.

recommended as they will produce poor results. Store yeast according to manufacturers instructions. Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date. Once a package of yeast is opened it is important that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated as soon as possible for future use. Often bread or dough, which fails to rise, is due to stale yeast being used. The following test can be used to determine whether your yeast is stale and inactive: 1 Place half a cup of lukewarm water into a small

bowl or cup. 2 Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2

tsp. of yeast over the surface. 3 Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow to sit

for 10 minutes undisturbed. 4 The mixture should foam and produce a strong

yeast aroma. If this does not occur, discard mixture

and start again with another packet of dried yeast.

Fresh or compressed cake yeast is not

It is recommended that fast

Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour

Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour is milled from the entire wheat kernel which contains the bran and germ and makes it heavier and richer in nutrients than white flour. Breads made with this flour are usually smaller and heavier than white loaves. To overcome this whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour can be mixed with Bread flour or strong plain flour to produce a high light textured bread.

Self-raising flour

Self-raising Flour contains unnecessary leavening ingredients that will interfere with bread and cake making. It is not recommended for use.

Bran

Bran (unprocessed) & Wheat Germ are the coarse outer portions of the wheat or rye grains separated from flour by sifting or bolting. They are often added in small quantities to bread for nutritional enrichment, heartiness and flavour. They are also used to enhance the texture of bread.

Sugar

Sugar is important for the colour and flavour of breads. It is also food for the yeast as it is part of the fermentation process. Artificial sweeteners cannot be used as a substitute for sugar as the yeast will not react properly with them.

Salt

Salt is necessary to balance the flavour of breads and cakes, as well as for the crust colour that develops during baking. Salt also limits the growth of yeast so the amounts shown in the recipes should not be increased. For dietary reasons it may be reduced, however, your baking may suffer.

Liquids/milk

Liquids such as milk or a combination of powdered milk and water, can be used when making bread. Milk will improve flavour, provide a velvety texture and soften the crust, while water alone will produce a crispier crust. Some liquids call for juice (orange, apple, etc) to be added as a flavour enhancer. Note:

For most recipes we suggest the use of dry skimmed milk.

Eggs

Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread doughs and cakes.

Sunflower oil

‘Shortens’ or tenderises the texture of yeast breads. Butter or margarine can be used as a substitute. If butter or margarine is used direct from the refrigerator it should be softened for easier blending during the mixing cycle.

Baking powder

Baking powder is a raising agent used in cakes. This type of raising agent does not require rising time before baking as the chemical reaction works when liquid ingredients are added.

Bicarbonate of soda

Bicarbonate of soda is another raising agent not to be confused or substituted for baking powder. It also does not require rising time before baking as the chemical reaction works during the baking process.

measurement. A ‘guesstimate’ is not good enough as it could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.

Dry measurements

Dry measurements (especially flours) must be done using the measuring cup provided. The measuring cup is based on the American standard 8 fluid oz cup -

(British cup is 10 fluid oz.) Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup to the indicated line. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will pack the ingredients and you will end up with more than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless stated.

When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients (ie yeast, sugar, salt, powdered milk, honey) the measuring spoons provided must be used. Measurements must be level, not heaped as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.

Vitamin C - Ascorbic acid

Ascorbic acid helps improve the volume of the loaf. Vitamin C powder or tablets should be used. You can also use the orange flavour vitamin C supplement tablet. These are usually marked in mg (milligrams) strength. If they are 200mg tablets, use

tablet for 100mg dose. The tablet

must be crushed between 2 spoons to create a powder. If using powder refer to the packet instructions but a

of a

teaspoon is usually recommended.

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. The ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid and dry measurements are done somewhat differently and are as follows:

Liquid measurements

Use the cup provided. When reading amounts, the measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat surface and viewed at eye level (not on an angle). The liquid level line must be aligned to the mark of

DO NOT USE NORMAL KITCHEN TEASPOONS

OR TABLESPOONS.

Hints on measuring ingredients

• 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 8floz and is conveniently marked in

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.

• There are 2 spoons provided to cover all combinations of quantities in the recipes. Tablespoon tbsp, teaspoon and

(marked with line) and a

tsp.

1tsp = 5 millilitres 1 tbsp = 3 tsp = 15 millilitres

Hint measure dry ingredients first with the tablespoon, then wet (oil) last.

Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods

with ease. This machine requires only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In basic cooking, normally ‘a pinch of this and a dash of that’ is fine, but not for breadmakers. Using an automatic breadmaker requires you accurately measure each ingredient for best results.

Melted butter crust

Brush melted butter over just baked bread for a

softer, tender crust.

Milk glaze

For a softer, shiny crust, brush just baked bread

with milk or cream.

Sweet icing glaze

Mix 1 cup sifted icing sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to make a glaze consistency and drizzle over raisin bread or sweet breads.

Poppy/Sesame/Caraway seed/Oatmeal

Sprinkle your choice of these seeds generously over just glazed bread.

Ingredient temperatures

All ingredients, including the machine and pan, and especially liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to room temperature 21°C (70°F).

If ingredients are too cold, below 10°C (50°F), they will not activate the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above 40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast.

Creating your own yeast bread

With the breadmaker, even the most inexperienced baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a loaf of bread. All of the mystery and hard work is gone. Inside this talented machine with an electronic brain, the dough is mixed, kneaded, proofed and baked without you being present. The automatic breadmaker can also just prepare the dough, and when it's ready, you shape, allow to rise and bake in a conventional oven. The recipes on the following pages are ‘tailored’ for this breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients that best compliment a particular loaf of bread, and each was tested in our machines.

It is extremely important not to exceed the amounts of flour specified in each of the recipes or else it could result in unsatisfactory baking performance.

When creating your own yeast bread recipes or baking an old favourite, use the recipes in this cookbook as a guide for converting portions from your recipe to your breadmaker. Do not exceed 4 cups of flour

and

cup fruit and nut.

Special glazes for yeast breads

Give your just baked bread a professional finish. Select one of the following special glazes to enhance your bread.

Egg glaze

Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water together, brush generously. Note: apply only to doughs before baking.

Other tips

• Place all recipe ingredients into the baking pan so that yeast is not touching any liquid.

• After completing the process of making dough in your breadmaker, typically when letting dough rise outside the breadmaker, allow 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size. Dough should be lightly greased and covered with grease proof paper and a dry towel. It should be placed in a warm area free from drafts.

• 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 decrease sugar and/or water or milk slightly.

• The DOUGH setting is great for mixing, kneading

and proofing (allowing dough to rise). Use the automatic breadmaker to prepare this dough.

• 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.

• 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 good texture.

• If the dough you are rolling shrinks back, let it rest covered for a few minutes before rolling again.

• Dough may be wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer for later use. Bring the dough to room temperature before using.

•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 (

to 1 tablespoon at a time).

• When using honey, malt extract, golden syrup or treacle, coat the spoon or cup with oil first, this will prevent these ingredients from sticking, to the spoon or cup.

6 Recipes for cakes

Important

The cakes produced in this breadmaker will not rise to fill the pan completely, they will be approximately 55mm (2”) tall. The standard cake is a Madeira type which is moist, rich and dense in texture. Adjustments to the recipe may be required for personal taste - less butter and sugar to reduce the richness, less water and/or eggs to reduce moisture.

Variations

Cherries remove the excess syrup) and allow them to drain and dry on absorbent paper; or mixed fruit or chocolate chips Add any of these variations into the breadpan last, on top of the other ingredients.

Gluten free recipes

Gluten free breads are yeast leavened breads, where Gluten a protein part of the wheat (also found in Oats, Barley and Rye) is removed. People who cannot tolerate Gluten in their diet (known as Coeliacs) can obtain this flour on prescription. It is found in most high street chemists and health food stores, it is expensive! Morphy Richards has developed these recipes using one particular brand ‘ Nutricia Glutafin’ Gluten free white flour mix and fibre mix. Other brands have not been tested therefore Morphy Richards cannot list these brands. Contact the Morphy Richards Helpline (08450

777700) for further recipes when available. The bread is excellent on the day it is made, but with all Gluten free breads when one day old or more it will need ‘refreshing’. 2 slices placed in a microwave for 10-15 seconds will usually do this. Any remaining fresh bread can be frozen for storage. To store Gluten free bread (or any bread) slice the bread, re-assemble the slices back together, wrap the assembled loaf in aluminium foil and place it in a plastic bag. Store in the freezer until required. The slices will ‘snap’ apart when required and quickly thaw, use the microwave if required.

Questions about general performance and operation

Question 1

What should I do when the kneading blade comes

out with the bread?

Remove carefully when cold slicing the bread. Since the blade can be disconnected from the pan, it is not a malfunction if it comes out in your bread.

Question 2

Why does my bread sometimes have some flour on the side crust?

In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the corners of the baking pan. When this happens, it usually can be eaten or simply trim off that portion of the outer crust with a sharp knife.

Question 3

Why isn't the dough mixing? I can hear the motor running.

The Kneading Blade or baking pan may not be inserted properly. Make sure the pan is facing the right way and that it has ‘clicked’ and seated into the bottom of the breadmaker.

Question 4

How long does it take to make bread?

Timings for each setting are outlined earlier.

Question 5

Why can't I use the timer when baking with fresh milk?

The milk will spoil if left sitting in the machine too long. Fresh ingredients such as eggs and milk should never be used with the delayed timer feature.

Question 6

Why do I have to add the ingredients in a certain order?

This allows the breadmaker to mix the ingredients in the most efficient manner possible. It also serves to keep the yeast from combining with the liquid before the dough is started to mix, which is essential on the time delay.

Question 7

When setting the timer for morning, why does the

machine make sounds late at night?

The machine must start operation when the time delay reaches the start time of the program so that the bread will be ready. These sounds are made by the motor when kneading the dough. It is a normal operation, not a malfunction.

Question 8

The kneading blade is stuck in the bread pan. After baking how do I get it out?

The kneading blade may ‘stick’ in place after baking. Running warm or hot water over the blade should loosen it enough to be removed. If still stuck, soak in hot water for about 30 minutes.

Question 9

Can I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher?

No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be washed by hand.

Question 10

What will happen if I leave the finished bread in the baking pan?

Whilst still in the breadmaker for the first hour after baking is complete the bread ’keeps warm’ to prevent it becoming ‘soggy’.

Leaving the bread in the breadmaker after the keep warm period may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of bread as excess steam (moisture) would not be able to escape. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack after baking to prevent this.

Question 11

Why did the dough only partially mix? Why didn't it mix completely?

The dough may be too heavy or dry. Also, the kneading blade or baking pan may not be inserted properly. Ingredients may have been added in the wrong order.

Question 12

Why didn't the bread rise?

The yeast could be bad, past it’s sell by date or possibly no yeast was added at all. Also, if the mixing was not complete, rising problems could develop.

Question 13

Why can't the delayed finish be set for more than 12 hours? What is the minimum time a cycle may be delayed?

The maximum length of delay is 12 hours including the total cycle time. For example, Setting 1 (basic medium 2lb) has a cycle time of 2:50. This start is delayed by a maximum of 9:10. The minimum length of delay for each setting is 10 minutes. The delay clock increases and decreases in increments of 10 minutes.

Questions about ingredients and recipes

Question 14

Why is my breadmaker making a loud noise? The pan may not be correctly located, press it

until it locks into place.

Question 15

How come my bread comes out too moist? What

can I do?

Humidity may affect the dough. Add an extra tablespoon of flour. Also, high altitude may have the same effect. Decrease the amount of yeast by teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk slightly.

Question 16

Why do I get air bubbles at the top of the bread?

This can be caused by using too much yeast.

Decrease the yeast by

tsp.

Question 17

Why does my bread rise and then collapse or crater?

The bread may be rising too much. To reduce the rate of rising, reduce the amount of yeast and/or increase the amount of salt.

Question 18

Can I use my favourite bread recipes (traditional yeast bread) in my bread machine?

Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion of ingredients. Become familiar with the unit and make several loaves of bread before you begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of

cups dry ingredients (that includes the total

amount of flour, oats, oatmeal, bran, fruit and nuts etc). Use the recipes in this book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and oil/butter/margarine to use. We advise creating your own bread recipes using the 1basic menu setting, then progress to the others, using the Baking cycle times chart as a guide.

Question 20

Why do the loaves vary in height and weight? The whole wheat/wholewheat breads are always shorter. Am I doing something wrong?

No, it is normal for Whole Wheat and Wholemeal breads to be shorter and denser than Basic or French breads. Whole Wheat and Wholemeal flour are heavier than white bread flour, therefore they don’t rise as much during the bread making process. This is also true for bread containing fruit, nuts, oats and bran.

Question 21

Can I premix the yeast with water?

No, the yeast must be kept dry and put into the baking pan last, above the flour. this is especially important when the delay timer is being used.

Question 22

Why is there a large hole in the base of the bread?

This hole has been created by the kneading blade. Sometimes this hole is larger than normal. This is because the dough has rested to the side of the blade after the second kneading cycle - normal with bread makers. You could position the dough evenly in the base of the pan, but only do this after the last knead 4, see cycle times. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to reposition the dough back into the centre if required.

Question 19

Is it important for ingredients and baking pan to be at room temperature before adding them to the baking pan?

Yes, even when the delay timer is being used. (Water must be between 21°C and 28°C).

Troubleshooting

Possible cause Solution

Difficult to remove from the pan

The bread is sticking to the pan The surface of the pan needs to be oiled before everyday use. Wash the pan in hot soapy water and thoroughly dry. Liberally coat the inner surface of the pan with oil, butter or margerine. Follow the guide on page 8, ‘Using your breadmaker’. When the bread pan is removed from the machine after the baking program allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a rack. Only slice the bread when fully cooled after 20-40 minutes.
