MULTIGRAIN. . . . . . . For breads with cereals/grains such as rye, millet, soy, corn etc. mainly using wholemeal strong flour.

FRENCH . . . . . . . . . . For loaves with crisp crust and open texture. The taste is crisp because sugar is not included in the ingredients.

PIZZA . . . . . . . . . . . . .A rapid dough program for pizza, focaccia and other Italian breads. BAKE ONLY . . . . . . . A program for baking cakes only.

SELECT Baking options available:

BAKE . . . . . . . . . . . . . The unit automatically mixes ingredients, kneads the dough, rises it and bakes it.

BAKE RAPID . . . . . . . The unit mixes ingredients, kneads the dough, rises it and automatically bakes it faster than the standard BAKE option.

BAKE SANDWICH. . . The unit automatically makes a medium size loaf of bread with a soft crust suitable for sandwich slices.

BAKE RAISIN . . . . . . .The unit automatically makes bread as in the BAKE option. A beeper sounds to let you know when to add dried fruits, such as raisins. This is to prevent them from being crushed during the kneading process.

DOUGH . . . . . . . . . . . The unit automatically prepares dough for pizzas, dinner rolls, donuts, croissants, etc. DOUGH RAISIN . . . . .The unit automatically prepares dough as in the DOUGH option. A beeper sounds to

let you know when to add dried fruits as in the BAKE RAISIN option.

A 13-hour timer allows you to prepare everything the night before and wake up to the aroma of freshly baked bread. (Certain BAKE options only). The result may differ when the timer is used.

The beep sounds eight times when baking on the BAKE option or rising of dough on the DOUGH option is completed.

The beep also sounds in the BAKE RAISIN and DOUGH RAISIN option, when the machine pauses for 1 minute during the kneading process to add the raisins, chopped dried fruits and / or nuts.
