9 During use it is normal to hear the machine make thumping noises while it kneads the dough. Also, during certain stages in the program it is usual for condensation to form on the viewing window. NEVER open the lid during the rising and baking time as it will let warm air escape and can affect the results dramatically. Warning: Do not cover the top of the appliance with any type of material whilst in use as this may cause the viewing window to melt. Do not touch the viewing window as it gets hot during the baking cycle.

10 When baking has finished, a beep sounds. Ideally remove the bread from the pan as soon as it’s ready. There may be times when this is not possible, so the appliance automatically switches to the “keep warm” function (see point 12) to prevent condensation spoiling the bread. Switch off the bread maker at the mains and unplug. Open the lid and lift out the bread pan using oven gloves, as it will be very hot (this is easier if the handle is positioned at the front). Warning: Do not place the bread pan on heat sensitive surfaces as it will be hot.

11 To remove the loaf from the pan, still wear oven gloves and turn the pan upside down and shake the bread out onto a wire rack to cool. If you have difficulty removing the loaf, loosen the sides with a plastic or wooden spatula (never use metal utensils as they could scratch the non-stick coating). Allow the bread to cool before slicing. (See section ‘Slicing and Storing Home Made Bread’ page 6). Sometimes the kneading blade can remain in the loaf after baking, to remove it wait until the loaf has cooled slightly and then use the end of a plastic spatula or other non-metallic utensil to prise it out. Remember the kneading blade could still be hot. If the kneading blade remains stuck in the bottom of the pan, fill with warm water and leave to soak to loosen the blade from the shaft. Note: The handle on the baking pan may remain very hot for a long time after use, so take care when you come to wash it.

12 The ‘Keep Warm’ function automatically begins when the baking time has finished and the display shows 0:00. During the one hour period of keeping warm a beep continues to sound at regular intervals and at the end of the cycle automatically turn itself off. Bread can be removed at any time during the keep warm period. To turn off the ‘Keep Warm’ feature manually, switch off at the mains and unplug.

13 Allow the appliance to cool with the lid open for at least 30 minutes before using again.

Making Dough in your

Breadmaker (using programs 7 & 8)

Follow steps 1 to 9 in section ‘How to Use your Breadmaker’. Open the lid and remove the dough from the machine as soon as the cycle finishes and use straight away. If you keep the dough in the breadmaker, it may over rise and produce poor results.

Switch off the bread maker at the mains and unplug. Shape and give the dough a final rising in a warm place until doubled in size. This takes about 40 minutes - 1 hour for a large loaf and about 25 - 30 minutes for rolls. Then bake in a conventional oven. Please refer to individual recipes for further details.

The final rising, often called proving, allows the dough to rise a second time. Cover the dough to prevent a hard skin forming, either use a large polythene bag or cover with lightly oiled polythene. Place the shaped bread in a warm, draught free place until the dough had doubled in size. If the dough has risen insufficiently it will not produce a satisfactory result.

When baking it is important to preheat the oven to the temperature stated in the recipe. If using a fan oven, reduce the cooking temperature by 10°c and the cooking time may be a few minutes faster. When correctly baked the bread should be well risen and sound hollow when tapped on the base.

Using The Timer For A

Delayed Start

You can program the Breadmaker up to 13 hours in advance, so that the bread is ready at a time to suit you. The cycle time will be exactly the same, it just means that you can delay when the bread making will begin. For example, you can set the timer in the evening and wake up to fresh bread the following morning. This function cannot be used on programs 5, 6, 10, and 11.

Follow the instructions in ‘How to Use Your Breadmaker’ steps 1 - 7. The program time for the setting you have selected will be displayed.

Calculate the time you want the bread to be ready. Example: If it is 8 pm when you place the ingredients in the baking pan and you want your bread ready at 7.30 am tomorrow morning, set the timer to 11:30 (11 hours and 30 minutes), the time required until the completion of the bread.

Use the “delayed start buttons” (J2) to set the required time. Each time you press the + or - button the display will increase or decrease in 10 minutes increments. Once you have set the time, press the start/stop button (J4). The colon in the display will flash to indicate that the timer has been set and the countdown will begin.

If you make a mistake while setting the “delayed start buttons”, press and hold the “Start/Stop” button (J4) until it flashes “1 P” and you can set the timer again.

Slicing and storing home made bread

Cool bread on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing with a sharp, serrated edge knife or electric carving knife. If you want to eat the bread while it is still warm we advise cutting chunky slices about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick, otherwise it is difficult to get even slices.

Store bread in an airtight container or wrap loosely in a polythene bag and keep in a cool dry place. Do not keep in the refrigerator as it stales more quickly and draws the water out. Crusty bread recipes are best stored in a paper bag to prevent the crust softening.

Since home made bread has no preservatives it tends to dry out and becomes stale faster than commercial bread and is best eaten freshly made, but it should keep for about 2 days. Breads which contain egg and those without any fat should be eaten on the day they are made. Use up any dry bread for making toast. To freeze home made bread, wrap in foil or sealed freezer bags then defrost at room temperature or in the microwave.

Cleaning

•Unplug the breadmaker and allow it to cool down.

•Clean the body of the breadmaker and the inside of the pan using a damp sponge. Dry with care.

•Wash the pan and the blade using hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry quickly and carefully.

•Remove the lid to wash it in hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry quickly and carefully. Never immerse the lid or soak it in water, in order to avoid any water getting into the air vent grid.

•Never wash any part of the breadmaker in a dishwasher.

•Never use scouring pads, nor alcohol, nor scouring powder to clean the breadmaker.
