Before First Use:
Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this information
for future reference.
IMPORTANT: The capacity of the Breadmaker is sufficient to bake a 2lb loaf, or to raise the
equivalent amount of dough for baking elsewhere. Do not exceed this amount otherwise the
mechanism may be damaged, or the dough may rise through the lid.
• The ingredients should be at a warm room temperature (20º-25ºC). If the room is cold (below
18ºC), use warm water (40ºC) to make sure the yeast ferments fully. To gauge the temperature
if you do not have a thermometer, heat some water and slowly add this to a jug of cold water
until the resulting temperature is barely warm to the touch.
• Measure and add the water to the barrel. Next add the salt and the other dry ingredients.
Finally add the yeast.
• It is essential to keep the yeast away from the salt and the water before mixing commences or
the bread will not rise properly.
• Clean off any spills around the outside of the bread barrel and lower it into the breadmaker.
Push down at the sides and ensure the barrel is firmly held in the side clips.
Keep Warm:
The Bread Maker has an automatic Keep Warm function which heats the bread for one hour after
baking. If you do not wish to use the Keep Warm function, hold the ON/OFF button down for 3
seconds once the baking function has finished. A buzzer will sound when the Keep Warm function
has turned off.
Automatic Dispenser:
The Automatic Dispenser allows fruit, nuts and other dry ingredients to be emptied into the bread
barrel at the correct time during use.
1. Before baking, open the lid of the bread maker and remove the dispenser box by pressing the
dispenser box handle and lifting it up.
2. Add the ingredients that you want to be added into the bread.
3. Place the two pillars in the bottom of the box holder; push the fruit box handle until it is set on
the lid.
Note: The dispenser does not operate during the Dough, Jam or Bake programs.
Memory Recall:
If the power supply is temporarily interrupted, the process of bread making will continue
automatically when power is restored. If the power cut exceeds 15 minutes the bread maker must
be restarted manually and you will have to begin the bread making process again with fresh
ingredients.
6
Cold Weather:
Although the Bread-maker works perfectly well at low temperatures, if your kitchen is cold the bread
may not be satisfactory. Bread should be baked in an ambient temperature around 20ºC (70ºF).
If you would like to make your bread later: Press + or - to set the time you want the bread maker to
start operating in increments of 10 minutes.
For example, if you would like to have fresh bread ready for 7am and it is currently 8:30pm, you
would set the reserve time to 10 hours and 30 minutes, and then press the START/STOP button.
This includes the baking time for the type of bread selected.
Tips: Cover the yeast under the flour to maintain activity of the yeast.
Note: The delay timer is not available on all functions.
4. Plug the bread maker into the electrical outlet. You will hear a buzzer sound and the digital
control panel will illuminate. The default value after starting the unit is 1.5lbs/Medium Colour/
soft bread.
5. Select your bread recipe by pressing Menu. You can then cycle through program settings 1-19.
6. Select your bread colour and loaf by pressing LOAF to select the weight (500-750-1000g) then
COLOUR to select how brown you would like your bread (Light/Medium/Dark)
7. If you want the bread maker to start immediately press START/STOP. A buzzer will sound at the
start of the cycle.
8. The bread maker will start and begin a countdown.
9. The bread maker will begin to stir flour. To avoid splashing of flour, the program can auto-set
interval stirring for the first 7 minutes.
10. After 7 minutes, the bread maker auto-switches to continuous stirring.
11. When the program is completed and the timer shows 00:00 a buzzer will sound. The barrel
may now be removed from the Bread Maker.
12. Your baked bread will be very warm, be careful when lifting it out of the bread maker. Be sure
to wear oven gloves to remove the bread.
13. The stirring paddle may get stuck in the bread when you remove the bread. If this happens,
use the hook tool supplied with the bread maker. Insert into the bottom of the stirring paddle
and pull the stirring paddle out gently.
After Cooking:
1. Lift the lid. Using a pair of oven gloves, remove the barrel from the bread maker.
2. Gently twist the barrel anti-clockwise as you remove it from the bread maker.
3. Place the bread barrel on a heatproof surface and leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Invert the bread barrel over a breadboard or other heat resistant surface and tap the bread
7
barrel lightly to release the bread.
5. Allow the bread to cool on a heatproof rack before use.
6. If the paddle has got stuck in the loaf, remove it with a melamine fork or other suitable tool.
Note: Always use a rack. If you leave the bread to cool on a normal work surface, water vapour in the
bread will not evaporate and the bottom of the loaf may be spoiled.

Programme 6 (Quick Bake). Check the instructions on the packet.
IMPORTANT:
Follow the packet instructions carefully, as some mixes contain more than the normal amount of
yeast, which could over rise in the barrel. Use 3 cups of mix maximum.
These mixes are more prone to over-rising and collapsing when the weather is hot and humid. Since
these mixes are complete, we cannot advise how to adjust, as with our own recipes.
Bake in the coolest part of the day, use water between 21-28°C

The basics of bread making
An understanding of ingredients and their interaction is essential to good bread making. This short
guide will help you understand some of the processes and the materials used.
Flour
Flour is the essential ingredient. It should be fresh, and stored in cool, dry conditions, preferably in
an airtight jar. Use only bread making flour. General purpose flours do not contain enough gluten to
produce well-structured bread.
Wholemeal wheat flour contains the whole grain. This results in heavier denser loaves than bread
made with white bread flour, and takes longer to rise - use the Wholemeal settings for best results.
Flours such as oatmeal are often added to bread flours to make specialty loaves. Many of these flours
contain no gluten so they cannot be used entirely on their own.
Flours vary - millers all have their own special methods, and age and storage play their part.
Although you should always follow the recipe carefully there are occasions when you may have to
adjust the dough.
You may do this a few minutes into the kneading cycle. Open the Bread maker lid and gently touch
the dough. It should feel very slightly sticky. If it is sloppy, add a little flour (½ -1 tablespoon). Allow
this to work in and re-check if necessary. If the dough is too dry, add the same amount of lukewarm
water. Re-check if necessary.
As you gain experience, you will get to know the feel of good dough. It should be soft and smooth
with the faintest sticky feel, but should leave no residue when turned out of the barrel, as in our
recipes for doughnuts and other recipes blended on the Dough programme.
The only time you can adjust the quality of the dough is during the kneading cycle. Once baking
commences do not lift the lid or the bread may spoil.
Milk
Whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk can be used in bread making but it should always be
added lukewarm. Refrigerated milk must be heated to around 27ºC (80ºF). Never heat milk above
37ºC (98ºF) as this can cause problems with yeast.
Liquid Quantities
Milk can usually be substituted for water in most recipes, but the quantity may need to be adjusted
- usually slightly higher. If dried milk features in the recipe, leave it out when substituting milk
for water. Flour is absorbent, its texture will vary to some extent with the prevailing atmospheric
conditions.
The amount of liquid may have to be adjusted if the conditions in your kitchen are excessively dry or
humid. If there is too much water in the bread it will not rise properly, even to the point of collapse.
Insufficient liquid will result in a poorly structured, lumpy loaf.
If you are in any way unsure, it is good policy to monitor the dough while it is kneading, using the
notes above.
11
When substituting oil for butter, margarine or solid cooking fat, reduce the amount of liquid by
around ¾ tbsp. to compensate for the extra liquid content of the oil.
As you will see from our recipes, it is good practice to cut butter and solid fats into small pieces
before using them.
Low fat bread can be made by substituting natural low fat yoghurt for some or all the fat in the
recipe, in equal amounts. Apple purée may also be used. Once again, monitor the dough and adjust
accordingly.
Sugar
Sugar provides food for the yeast, helps bread to rise and improves flavour, structure and colour.
Almost any kind of natural sweetener can be used, - all the various sugars, corn and maple syrup,
honey, etc. Once again, when using liquid sweeteners to replace sugar, reduce the amount of water
slightly to compensate. Artificial sweeteners are not suitable for bread making.
Salt
Salt in bread is NOT just a matter of taste! Salt restrains the growth of the yeast, and improves
elasticity and structure. If you reduce or eliminate salt from the bread it will rise excessively - if you
use too much salt the loaf will not rise enough. Use common table salt.
When adding salt to the bread barrel, keep it away from the yeast by introducing it at one corner.
If the yeast comes into premature contact with salt, the bread will not rise properly. This situation is
obviously more important when using the delay timer.
Yeast
Yeast is a micro-organism which feeds on sugars and starches in the bread mix producing carbon
dioxide gas which in turn causes the bread to rise.
We recommend the use of dried fast-acting yeast which is intended for bread makers. The
instructions on the sachet will tell you if the yeast is suitable for bread makers. Easy-blend yeasts are
readily available from all good supermarkets.
When adding yeast, be especially careful to get the quantity correct otherwise you could have a
disaster on your hands, especially if you add too much!
