R
oom temperature note
The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of
t
emperatures, but there could be a difference in loaf
s
ize between a very warm room and a very cold
r
oom. We recommend the room temperature should
be between 15ºC and 34ºC.
Using the timer
U
se the timer when you want the bread ready later,
o
r in the morning. A maximum of 13 hours can be
s
et. Check if function is available by consulting
‘Baking cycle times’ section. Do not use this
f
unction with recipes that use perishable ingredients
s
uch as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese.
1 Decide when you want the bread to be ready and
c
alculate the difference in time between now and
t
hen. For example, if you want a loaf at 8am, and it
i
s now 7.30pm, the difference is 12
1/2 h
ours.

b
uttons. Arrows will move time up or down in
1
0-minute increments. After you have pressed Start,
the colon (:) will flash.

If you have selected the wrong time press stop for 2
seconds. The timer will go back to the program
time, repeat step 1 and 2.

he timer delay is up to a maximum of 13 hours.
T
his is when the bread will be ready to remove
from the machine, see page 8 item 14 ‘Remove
t
he food’.
Beeper
The beeper sounds:
• when pressing any button;
• during the second kneading cycle of certain
programs to indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or other
ingredients can be added;
•
when the program finishes;
• when keep warm finishes.
Power interr
uption
After a brief power supply failure
• if the program has not yet reached rise 1, press
Start and the program will continue using the
automatic repeat function;
• if it has gone beyond this point, the process must
be started fr
om the very beginning. The ingredients
will have to be discarded and you must start again
with fresh ingredients.
Slicing and storing bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and
allow to cool for 15-30 minutes befor
e slicing.
Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated
blade for even slices.
Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic bag
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.
D
rop down blade
T
he breadmaker has a unique kneading blade which
f
olds down flat at the end of the 2nd rise cycle, this
‘
punches’ the dough ready for the final rise 3 and
allows the blade to fold flat to minimise the hole
s
ize left in the base of the baked loaf.
Ensure the blade is in the upright position before
adding the ingredients. If it falls over, lift it back to
t
he upright position.
C
lean the blade every time after use, ensure the
blade rotates freely on the spindle before each use,
y
ou can add a little sunflower oil to the joint before
p
utting it back into the pan. This will then be ready
for next use.

Special care for the non-stick finish
A
void damaging the coating. Do not use metal
utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks.
The coating may change colour after long use, this
is only caused by moisture and steam and will not
affect the performance of the unit or quality of your
bread.
The hole in the centr
e of the kneading blade should
be cleaned, then add a dr
op of cooking oil and
replace it on the spindle in the baking pan. This will
prevent the blade sticking.
