Waking to the smell of homemade bread baking in the kitchen is one of the most comforting memories of childhood. Can you remember rushing downstairs to taste the bread, fresh out of the oven, with butter melting on top? What a great way to start the morning. The breadmaker can create that same experience every morning.

There's very little effort on the part of the baker, because this automatic breadmaker is a sophisticated

counter top appliance with a computer memory that does all the work for you. Just follow the recipe instructions, and wake up to fresh baked bread in your automatic breadmaker. But don't stop at baking bread in this appliance. Besides being able to do all kinds of speciality breads, including wholemeal, you can also prepare doughs for hot cross buns, bread rolls and braids. Everything is easy and tastes homemade, because it is.

Your breadmaker makes a (1.5lb) 680gm loaf or in some recipes a larger (2lb) 900gm loaf (approx weight).

The breadmaker has a choice of 8 settings, which can be selected by pressing the SETTING button.

When connecting the breadmaker, the display shows the pre-set time 3.00 = 3 hours.

Setting 1 – Basic white (3 hours)

For preparation of white bread and mixed bread. This program is used the most frequently. The breadmaker will knead the dough three times. After the second kneading the breadmaker will beep. This beep indicates that additional ingredients may now be added.

Setting 2 – Quick (2 hours 20 minutes)

For preparation of white bread and mixed bread. The breadmaker kneads the dough twice and beeps during the second kneading process in order to add other ingredients. The period of dough rising is shortened so the bread requires less time, but will be smaller than normal.

Setting 3 – French (3 hours 50 minutes)

For preparation of French white bread. The breadmaker will knead twice, but has longer rising times and bakes longer, so the bread gets a thicker crust.

Setting 4 – Cake (1 hours 50 minutes)

For preparation of recipes with baking powder and cake. The breadmaker stirs once and then bakes the mixture.

Setting 5 – Wholemeal/wholewheat (3 hours 40 minutes)

For preparation of wholemeal bread. Breads made with wholewheat/wholemeal flour are lower in volume and have a dense texture compared to breads made with white flour. The breadmaker will knead twice, the dough rises and bakes longer.

Setting 6 – Fastbake (58 minutes)

For preparation of a white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture more moist.

Setting 7 – Dough (1 hours 30 minutes)

For preparation of different types of dough, for shaping and baking elsewhere. The pan is not heated and the degree of crust colour must NOT be selected (leave on medium crust setting).

Setting 8 – Extra bake

At the end of any baking program, press the stop button. If required remove the bread from the pan (see how to use your breadmaker 10, 11 page 8). If you require the bread to be baked longer to give it a crispy crust put it back in the machine (remove kneading blade from bread or pan), close the lid, select Extra bake. The default time is 0:10 minutes, press start to accept this time or press left timer set button to increase this time period in 10 minute steps, press start. 10 to 20 minutes will normally be sufficient, when you are happy with the bake press stop button.

Once the operating time has ended, the breadmaker starts the keep warm function for 1 hour, bleeping every 5 minutes, press stop at any time to stop this function.

CCrruusstt ccoolloouurr

Except for Dough program or Rebake program each program offers 3 different degrees of crust colour, which you can select by pressing the CRUST COLOUR button.

- crust medium

- crust dark

- crust light

We recommend you choose the medium crust colour setting on all recipes unless otherwise stated in the recipe. The dark crust setting will give a thicker hard crust.

SSttaarrtt//ssttoopp

This button serves to start or stop the program.

Only press the button once you have selected the SETTING program, CRUST COLOUR and the DELAY TIMER if required. As the button is pressed you will hear a beep, the machine will start and the timer will count down.

To stop the breadmaker push this button for 3 seconds. Only do this in an emergency as the machine will then reset to the beginning of its program. You must then begin again, the ingredients may be ruined and need replacement.

If the temperature in the breadmaker for a new program is still too high from the previous use, the display shows “H:HH” after programming and the breadmaker will beep without interruption. If this happens remove the pan and wait until the breadmaker has cooled down (leave lid open).

Open the lid and remove the baking pan by raising the handle and twisting anti-clockwise and then lift out. Place baking pan on the work surface.

Ensure that the paddle is attached inside the baking pan (this simply pushes on).

Measure the ingredients required and add them all into the pan in the order listed.

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.

Using the pan handle, place the baking pan in the breadmaker and twist clockwise to the LOCK position. Close the lid of the breadmaker.

Plug into the power supply (you will hear one long beep). It will automatically be set to the BASIC WHITE program with the crust colour setting to MEDIUM.

Now select the required program pressing the SETTING button until the light corresponding to the program becomes illuminated. Don’t forget to select the crust colour also.

Press the START/STOP program to start the machine. When the program is completed the display shows 0:00 and you will hear the appliance beep 10 times.

When the program is completed and the bread is baked the “keep warm” function will operate for a further hour. To remind you of this, the appliance will beep 5 times, every 5 minutes for a period of 1 hour and then switch off. For best results, remove the baking pan within this period or when the initial program is completed.

Take care when removing the bread. The baking pan is very hot. To remove the baking pan, open the lid of the appliance. As the appliance will still be hot, use oven gloves to remove the pan. Using the handle, simply twist the pan anti-clockwise to the REMOVE position and lift out.

Turn the pan upside down, and gently tap the bread from the pan. Occasionally the paddle will stay in the loaf, wait until the loaf is cool and then remove the paddle with a wooden utensil to avoid damage to the non-stick surface.

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

Leave the bread on a rack to cool.

Always unplug the appliance after use.

Note: 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 recipe.

All programs can be combined with the time delay function. However, this is not recommended for program CAKE. If the dough contains fresh milk, fruit or onions, do not select the time delay function but bake dough immediately.

The upper DELAY TIMER button will add 10 minutes to the start time.

Each subsequent time it is pressed it adds a further 10 minutes up to a maximum delay and cooking time of 13 hours.

The right DELAY TIMER button will make the total delay and cooking times to be 13 hours. Each subsequent time it is pressed the total time is reduced by 10 minutes. The timer display shows in hours and minutes the total time left until the bread is finished (including the delay added and the program time). It does not include the 1 hour “keep warm” time after the program is finished.

For example, if it is 8.00pm and you want to have fresh white bread at 7.00am in the morning: You select the BASIC WHITE program, which takes 3 hours to bake. (8.00pm - 7.00am = 11 hours delay).

The display for the BASIC WHITE program shows 3:00, you want to add 8 hours delay time to this - so press the left button of the delay timer until the display shows 11:00

Remember to press the START button to commence the timer countdown - otherwise nothing will happen!

If you set the timer incorrectly and START has been pressed, you are able to switch off (press the stop button for 3 seconds) and reset the delay period again only if mixing has not started.

For best results place bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for 20-40 minutes before slicing. You may use an electric knife for even slices. Otherwise, use a sharp knife with a serrated blade.

Store unused bread tightly covered 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.
