3. Add ingredients to the Bread Pan
a. Before adding ingredients to the bread pan, ensure they are:
Fresh. In particular, fresh flour and yeast are critical – check the ‘Best Before Date’ stamped on the package. For tips on checking the freshness of your yeast, refer to the comments on yeast in 'The Vital Ingredient' section.
Measured and weighed accurately. Refer to ‘Tips for Better Bread Making - Measuring and Weighing Ingredients’ in this book.
The right temperature. Unless specified otherwise in a recipe, all liquids should be 27°C, and non liquid ingredients should be at room temperature 20°C—25°C. Temperatures too cool or too warm can prevent the yeast fromactivating and affect the way the bread rises and bakes.
b. Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe
to ensure the dough mixes thoroughly and rises sufficiently. Wipe any spilt ingredients from the rim and outside of the pan and ensure it is clean and dry.
Yeast/Baking Powder or Baking Soda
Dry Ingredients
Fats
Water or Liquids
NOTE
Do not underfill or overfill the bread pan as the bread may not mix properly. The recipes in our eBook are designed for 0.5kg to 1.25kg loaves. However if developing your own recipes, as a general guide, a minimum 500ml and maximum 625ml of total dry ingredients is recommended. On the jam setting, as a general guide, a maximum 500g of fruit should be used.
Functions
BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BREAD MAKING
Before using the bread maker for the first time, remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels including the clear film over the display panel. Ensure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Wash the inside of the bread pan with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the outside of the bread pan in water as this may interfere with the free movement of the coupling and drive shaft. Wash only the interior of the bread pan.
Wash the collapsible paddle and fixed paddle in warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
1. Remove the Bread Pan
a. Place the bread maker on a flat dry surface such as a bench top.
Ensure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet.
b. Lift open the lid and remove the bread pan from the interior
baking chamber by holding the handle and lifting straight up.
c. If the bread pan becomes stuck, press the handle down then lift
straight up.
2. Insert the Collapsible or Fixed Paddle
a. Select the appropriate paddle. Refer to the 'Components' section.
NOTE
Always remove the bread pan from the baking chamber before inserting the paddle and ingredients. This ensures that ingredients are not spilt onto the heating element and drive mechanism inside the baking chamber.
b. Ensure there is no baked-on residue on the drive shaft inside
the bread pan or in any of the paddle crevices, including the ‘D’ shaped hole and hinge area.
c. Align the ‘D’ shaped hole on the paddle with the ‘D’ shape on the
drive shaft inside the bread pan. Push down firmly. The paddle should rotate with the drive shaft, collapsible parts should be free to move. It is important that the paddle is properly assembled onto the drive shaft to ensure ingredients are mixed and kneaded properly.

4. Return the Bread Pan to the Baking Chamber
a. Align the coupling on the underside of the bread pan with the
drive mechanism in the interior baking chamber of the stainless steel housing. You may need to turn the coupling slightly if you have difficulty aligning it onto the drive mechanism. Push down firmly until the bread pan is securely in position. It is important that the bread pan is properly assembled onto the drive mechanism to ensure the paddle operates correctly.
b. Lower the lid. Don't lift open the lid during operation unless
stated in the recipe, to check the consistency of the dough during the ‘knead’ phase, or to glaze and add seeds to the top of the loaf during the ‘bake’ phase. Refer to ‘Using the Pause Feature’ in this book.
5. Load the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser
The Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser releases fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, seeds or other suitably sized ingredients into the dough at the right time which is programmed for a specific time during the ‘knead’ phase. If added before this time, excessive kneading will cause the ingredients to break down rather than maintain their shape within the dough.
a. Lift open the lid of the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser.
Touch the base of the dispenser to check that it is completely closed before adding a maximum 120g of dry ingredients. If the base is open, see Troubleshooting.
b. Ensure the bread pan is in the baking chamber and the lid is
closed. Loading ingredients into the dispenser without the bread pan inserted or with the lid closed increases the risk of ingredients falling into the baking chamber and burning during the ‘bake’ phase.
c. Always remember:
− Ingredients should be suitably sized so they do not fall through the steam vents at the base of the dispenser. We recommend separating ingredients that may stick together, such as raisins and other fruits, before adding.
Liquids should not be added to the dispenser.
Glacé (glazed) fruits such as cherries, ginger, pineapple, etc.
should be washed and well-dried on kitchen paper towel before adding into the dispenser. Sticky ingredients can also be tossed in a little flour to help dispensing.
− Bottled or canned ingredients such as olives, sun dried tomatoes etc. should be drained and well-dried on kitchen paper towel before adding to the dispenser.
− It is recommended that the dispenser be cleaned thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth after each use.
d. The Fruit and Nut Dispenser will automatically release its
contents on the BASIC, BASIC RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID, GLUTEN FREE, CRUSTY LOAF, SWEET, YEAST FREE and all DOUGH settings. You may notice the base of the dispenser flip open during the bread making cycle even when it is empty. This is normal. It is the dispenser automatically releasing ingredients.
TIPS
If ingredients exceed the maximum 120g capacity of the dispenser, lift open the lid and add ingredients manually when the ‘add-in’ alert sounds. Ensure the BEEPER button has not been muted and the sound alerts are on - there should be no
symbol on the LCD screen. Do not press and hold the CANCEL button to add ingredients as this will cancel the entire cycle.
6. Plug in the Power Cord
a. Unwind the power cord completely and insert the power plug into
a grounded power outlet.
b. An alert will sound and the LCD screen will illuminate.
The function options will appear with an indicator on the preset BASIC setting.
7. Select the Setting
a. Turn the SELECT push-dial until the indicator on the LCD screen
reaches the desired setting. Press the push-dial to select.
b. If you accidentally press the wrong setting, press the CANCEL
button to return to the main menu and make your selection again.
8. Select the Crust Colour
a. If the selected setting has crust colour options, the LCD screen
will indicate a blinking ‘CRUST’ and the preset crust colour. To change the preset crust colour, turn the SELECT push-dial until the indicator on the LCD screen reaches the desired crust colour – LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK. Press the push-dial to select. The crust colour can only be selected on the BASIC, BASIC RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID and GLUTEN FREE settings.
b. If you accidentally press the wrong crust colour, press the
CANCEL button to return to the main menu and make your selection again.
9. Select the Loaf Size
a. If the selected setting has loaf size options, the LCD screen will
indicate a blinking ‘SIZE’ and the preset loaf size. To change the preset loaf size, turn the SELECT push-dial until the indicator on the LCD screen reaches the desired loaf size – 0.5k, 0.75kg, 1.0kg or 1.25kg. Press the push-dial to select.
The loaf size can only be selected on the BASIC, BASIC RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID, GLUTEN FREE, CRUSTY LOAF and SWEET settings. Only the 1.0kg and 1.25kg loaf size can be selected on the GLUTEN FREE setting.
b. If you accidentally press the wrong loaf size, press the CANCEL
button to return to the main menu and make your selection again.
NOTE
Although the bread maker is capable of making 0.5kg, 0.75kg,
1.0kg or 1.25kg loaves, we recommend the larger sizes for a better uniform loaf. The ingredient quantities for the 0.5kg loaf may not fill the bread pan to the ideal volume for a uniform loaf. This is especially true for breads that contain whole grains or other special ingredients. This is why some settings have limited or no loaf size options.
The loaf sizes—.5kg, 0.75kg, 1.0kg and 1.25kg - are a guide to the size of the loaf only. Different ingredients will affect the actual weight and size of the baked loaf.
For example:
A 0.5kg loaf baked with fruit and nuts will be heavier than a plain
0.5kg loaf.
A 0.5kg 100% whole wheat loaf will be smaller and shorter than a
0.5kg regular white loaf as whole wheat flour does not rise as well as bread flour.

CUSTOM Depends
on selected setting
This is a setting that allows you to modify the preset, recommended temperatures and times for the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’ and ‘keep warm’ phases to suit a specific recipe or your personal preference. It then stores it in the memory of the bread maker. This is particularly useful if you have a favourite recipe that you regularly bake. Alternatively, for advanced bakers it allows you to factor in variables such as the brand and type of flour, quality of the yeast, altitude and climate considerations. For example, in a humid climate the rising cycles can be reduced.

WHOLE WHEAT
Collapsible
This is a setting for breads that contain more than 50% whole wheat, whole grain, or speciality flour such as barley or rye. Due to ingredient properties, breads baked on the WHOLE WHEAT setting are generally shorter and denser than breads baked on the BASIC setting. To encourage a lighter, higher loaf, unlike the BASIC setting, the WHOLE WHEAT setting has a ‘preheat’ phase that warms the ingredients to allow the yeast to perform optimally. The ‘preheat’ phase also allows heavy grains and flours to absorb liquid, before softening and expanding for better gluten development.

WHOLE WHEAT RAPID
Collapsible
This is a setting for breads that contain more than 50% whole wheat, whole grain, or speciality flour such as barley or rye. Unlike the WHOLE WHEAT setting, the WHOLE WHEAT RAPID setting reduces all three of the ‘rise’ phases, shortening the entire cycle time by approximately an hour. Best results are achieved by using the longer settings, producing a loaf with optimal texture. If using the RAPID settings on specified recipes in this section, reduce salt by ¼ teaspoon and increase yeast by ¼ teaspoon. This adjustment is suitable for all recipes.

MORE INFORMATION
GLUTEN FREE
Collapsible
This is a setting for breads that contain gluten free flours such as rice flour, tapioca flour, potato flour, buckwheat flour, arrowroot etc. Due to ingredient properties, the consistency of the dough is wetter and more like a thick, sticky batter than a firm dough ball. It is important not to over-knead gluten-free doughs because of the reduced elastic properties usually provided by gluten. For this reason, in comparison to the BASIC setting, there is a shorter ‘knead’ phase, shorter ‘rise’ phase and due to the high moisture content, a higher baking temperature.
LIGHT MEDIUM DARK
1.0kg
1.25kg Due to the ingredient properties of gluten free flours, the quantities for the (0.5kg) and (0.75kg) loaf do not fill the bread pan to the ideal volume for a uniform loaf. For this reason, these loaf sizes have been omitted.
Use the MODIFY button to see the preset phase temperatures and times. Refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’. For recipes, refer to the GLUTEN FREE section.
CRUSTY LOAF
Collapsible
This is a setting for breads low in fat and sugar, producing a bread with a crisp crust and a fine-textured, chewy inner crumb. These breads are sometimes referred to as French, European, Continental, Artisan, Peasant or Country breads. In comparison to the BASIC setting, the ‘rise’ phase is longer, ‘bake’ time longer and ‘bake’ temperature higher to produce a crisp crust and a firmer inner texture.
Not applicable. The CRUSTY LOAF setting is preset with the recommended crust colour that produces a crisp crusted loaf. The MODIFY button can be used to modify the baking temperature and/or time if a crisper or less crisp crust is desired. Refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’, page 32.

SWEET Collapsible
This is a setting for breads high in sugar, fats and proteins. Due to ingredient properties, sweet breads high in sugar, fats and proteins tend to brown quicker. For this reason, in comparison to the BASIC setting, there is a lower ‘bake’ temperature.
Not applicable. The SWEET setting is preset with the recommended crust colour that prevents over browning of most sweet breads high in sugar, fat and protein. The MODIFY button can be used to modify the baking temperature and/or time if a lighter or darker crust is desired. Refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’, page 32.

YEAST FREE
Collapsible
This is a setting for breads that contain baking powder or baking soda rather than yeast to make the bread rise. These breads have a cake-like texture and are sometimes referred to as quick breads, batter breads or cake breads. Use this setting for packaged corn bread, quick bread and cake mixes. In comparison to the BASIC setting, the YEAST FREE setting jumps straight from the ‘knead’ phase to the ‘bake’ phase - omitting the ‘rise’ phase due to the omission of yeast.
Not applicable. Like a cake mixture, yeast free breads require a fixed baking temperature and time to produce a specific crust colour. For this reason, no crust colour options are available on this setting. The MODIFY button can be used to modify the baking temperature and/or time if a lighter or darker crust is desired. Refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’, page 32.
Not applicable. Like a cake mixture, yeast free breads have fixed ingredient quantities to produce a specific loaf size. For this reason, no loaf size options are available on this setting.
Use the MODIFY button to see the preset phase temperatures and times. Refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’, page 32. For recipes, refer to the YEAST FREE section.
