All ingredients, including the machine and
pan, should be warmed to room temperature
21-28°C.
If ingredients are too cold, below 10°C
(50°F), they will not activate the yeast. Extremely hot
liquids, above 40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast.
The water must be warm 35-40ºC.

With the breadmaker, even the most inexperienced
baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a
loaf of bread. All of the mystery and hard work is
gone. Inside this talented machine with an electronic
brain, the dough is mixed, kneaded, proofed and
baked without you being present. The automatic
breadmaker can also just prepare the dough, and
when it's ready, you shape and bake in a conventional
oven. The recipes on the following pages are ‘tailored’
for this breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients
that best compliment a particular loaf of bread, and
each was tested in our machines.
It is extremely
important not to exceed the amounts of flour
specified in each of the recipes or else it
could result in unsatisfactory baking
performance.
When creating your own yeast bread
recipes or baking an old favourite, use the recipes in
this cookbook as a guide for converting portions from
your recipe to your breadmaker.
The most important step in using your breadmaker
is to measure the ingredients precisely and accurately.
You may need to change your measuring habits, but
the rewards for doing so will be great loaves of bread
to serve with dinner.

1
Do not remove the baking pan or touch any
moving parts when breadmaker is in operation. If
you need to stop the breadmaker during operation,
press the start/stop button for four seconds or until
the alert sounds.
2
Ensure adequate ventilation around the
breadmaker when in use. Keep it out of drafts and
direct sunlight and at least four inches away from
walls, cabinets and other appliances, especially
heating and cooling appliances which will interfere
with the internal breadmaker temperatures and
affect the loaf of bread.
3
Always place breadmaker on a dry, stable, heat
proof countertop or table during use. SInce the
breadmaker contains a motor, some vibration
occurs during the knead cycle.
4 WARNING: Avoid touching breadmaker
during the bake cycle as exterior surfaces
will become hot. Always use oven mitts
when removing and handling the baking
pan after baking.
5
The most important step in successful breadmaking
is to measure ingredients accurately. See
‘Measuring’ section in this booklet.
6
Do not exceed the ingredient capacity of the
breadmaker. See ‘Ingredients‘ section in this book.
Use only fresh ingredients.
7
Always add ingredients in the order listed in
recipes. Add liquid ingredients first, then butter or
margarine, followed by dry ingredients and finally
the yeast.
8
Do not cover the breadmaker with anything during
use.
9
Do not touch the control panel buttons after the
breadmaker has started as this can interrupt the
cycle. Turn the breadmaker off after completion of
the baking cycle.
10
Do not leave breadmaker plugged into electrical
socket when not in use to prevent it from being
turned on accidentally.
