Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
SUNBEAM BREADMAKER
• Do not use attachments not recommended by

• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when
the appliance is not in use and before
cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service
person.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet
of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the
appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used by children or infirm
persons.

Menu Settings
(1) Basic
Use this setting to make traditional white
bread. You have a choice of 3 crust colours Light, Medium or Dark. The Bakehouse
Compact lets you choose your favourite crust
colour for most breads.
(2) French
This cycle is for breads with crispier crusts,
such as French and Italian breads.
(3) Wheat
Whole wheat breads require more rising time
to accommodate the slower rising action with
whole wheat flour. Therefore, it is normal for
whole wheat breads to be heavy and slightly
dense in texture.
(4) Sweet
This cycle is for breads that require
additional ingredients such as sugar, dried
fruits or chocolate to sweeten the bread. To
prevent the crust from becoming too dark,
the light crust colour is recommended.
(5) Turbo
Use the turbo setting for ready made bread in
approximately 1 hour. This setting lets you
save time on the bread recipes by reducing
the completion time and is ideal for when
you need bread in a hurry. Breads made
using this setting may be shorter and more
dense due to the reduced rising time. The
Turbo setting should only be selected when
baking White breads.
For turbo wheat bread, use the Gluten Free
setting.
(6) Buttermilk
This setting is for bread made with
buttermilk. Buttermilk bread is a great all
purpose bread with a rich texture and a
buttery flavour.
(7) Gluten Free/ Yeast Free
The Bakehouse Compact has been designed
to meet the needs of people who have
intolerances to gluten and yeast. The Gluten
Free setting and recipes have been tested
and endorsed by The Coeliac Society of
Australia.
(8) Cake
Make a variety of sweet and savoury home
made cakes on this setting. You can use this
setting to mix and bake cakes. We
recommend the use of pre-packaged cake
mixes. Refer to the Cake instructions in the
Recipe section.
(9) Dough
This setting allows you to create a variety of
doughs for bread sticks, bread rolls and pizza
to bake in a conventional oven. Refer to the
Dough instructions in the Recipe section.
(10) Pasta Dough
This setting allows you to make pasta dough
for fresh pasta. Feed the pasta through a
pasta machine to make fettuccini, ravioli and
lasagne. Refer to the Pasta Dough
instructions in the Recipe section.

Menu Settings
(11) Jam
You can now have fresh jam all year round.
Use fresh fruit to make sweet and savoury
jams. Refer to the Jam instructions in the
Recipe section.
(12) Bake
Set the setting to Bake for an immediate
baking process. When you select the Bake
setting, the Bakehouse Compact will
immediately start baking. This setting will
bake for 1 hour and can be controlled
manually by pressing the Start/Stop button to
stop the function at any time. The baking
time can be increased manually to 1½ hours.

This setting can also be used to complete the
bread baking process in case of a power
failure. If there has been a power failure,
allow the dough to rise in the bread pan
without power until it reaches ¾ of the way
up the bread pan. Reconnect electricity and
select menu setting to (12) Bake, and press
Start. Note: You may need to wait 10-15
minutes for the machine to cool down, before
you select the Bake setting. If you attempt to
use the bake option before the machine has
cooled down, an error message will appear on
the display - E00 or E01.

Using the Time Delay Function
The Bakehouse Compact allows you to delay
the completion of your bread by up to 13
hours, so you can wake up to the smell of
freshly baked bread, or go out for the day
while your Bakehouse Compact does all the
work.
Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the
recipe has perishable ingredients such as
milk, eggs or cheese as these may spoil.
1. Follow steps 1 – 4 on page 6.
2. Press and buttons until you reach
the number of hours and minutes you
want your bread to be ready. Press to add
or minus time in 10 minute intervals.
3. Follow remaining steps 6 - 7 on page 6.
Note: You do not need to take into account
the amount of time required to cook the
program selected. This is automatically
registered in the Bakehouse Compact when it
is selected.
Using the Bake Only Menu
The BAKE menu setting is useful if the bread
crust is too light or requires more baking
time. This setting will bake for 1 hour and 30
minutes and can be controlled by pressing
the Start/Stop button at any time.
1. Press the BAKE button.
2. Adjust the amount of time using the
and buttons.
3. Press the Start/Stop button.

Power Interruption Program
Protection
Your Bakehouse Compact features a 5 minute
Power Interruption Protection that protects
the Program memory in the advent of power
surges, or short term power failure (blackout).
This means that if there is a power interruption
during your bread making, the machine will
retain its memory for at least 5 minutes and
continue cooking when the power supply
returns.
If you experience a power failure greater than
5 minutes you may need to discard your
ingredients and start again. If the power
interruption occurs in the baking cycle, you
can use the Bake setting (12) to finish
baking.

Handy Hints
Order of ingredients
Always put the liquid in first, the dry
ingredients in next and the yeast in last. For
Gluten Free recipes place the dry ingredients
in first, then the liquid. Fruits and nuts are
added later, after the machine has completed
the first knead.
Freshness
Ensure all ingredients are fresh and used
before the specified use-by date.
Avoid using perishable ingredients such as
milk, yoghurt, eggs or cheese, with the Time
Delay function.
Slicing bread
For best results, wait at least 10 minutes
before slicing, as the bread needs time to
cool. Place loaf on its side and cut in a
sawing motion with a bread knife. For easy
and even slicing we recommend the use of
the Sunbeam electric knife.
Freezing bread
To freeze fresh bread, let it cool completely
and wrap in several layers of plastic. Slice
bread before freezing and use at your
convenience.
Like a cake, the bread needs to cool slightly
before removing from the bread pan. Allow
the bread to sit in the pan for approximately
10 minutes before removing.
Toppings
Ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and
chopped bacon can be added to the top of
the bread during the baking stage.
Open lid of Bakehouse Compact, gently brush
top of loaf with a little milk or egg yolk and
sprinkle with topping. (Do not allow
ingredients to fall outside pan). Close lid and
allow baking to continue.
Note: This step needs to be done quickly and
gently to prevent bread from sinking.
Crust colour
It is normal for the top of the bread to be
lighter in colour than the sides.
