First Time Use & Tips
Before first use, please take a few minutes to read this instruction book and find a place to keep it handy for future reference. Please pay particular attention to the safety instructions.
1. Wash the Baking Pan, Kneading Blades in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe the outside surface of the Main Unit with a clean, damp cloth.
DO NOT use scouring pads or any abrasives on any part of the Bread Maker.
3. If using for the first time, use a little oil, butter or margarine to grease the Baking Pan and bake empty for about 10 minutes.
NOTE: During manufacturing it is necessary to lightly grease some parts of the appliance. This may result in the unit emitting some vapour when first used, this is normal.
4. Allow to cool and then wash the Baking Pan again in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
5. Place the Kneading Blades on the Rotating Shaft in the Baking Pan.
6. Place ingredients into the Baking Pan. Please keep to the order as mentioned in the recipes.
7. Usually the liquid is placed in the Baking Pan first, followed by dry ingredients (e.g. sugar, salt and flour etc) and yeast or baking soda should always be the last ingredient - refer to below diagram as a guide.
MENU - Select the desired baking program. The program number and corresponding baking time will appear on the display. When pressing any button a beep will be heard, unless the appliance is operating. In this case, no beep will sound.
COLOUR - Select the degree of browning: Light > Medium > Dark by pressing the button until the indicator on the display appears under the desired crust icon. Note: Medium crust is the default setting and browning can NOT be adjusted for programs 8 and 9.
+ & - - Press to set time delayed baking as desired. The total set time will appear on the display.
GRAM - Select the gross loaf weight (700g, 900g) by pressing the button until the indicator on the display appears beneath the desired weight. Note: The default setting upon activation of the appliance is 900g. Loaf size can NOT be adjusted for programs 4, 8, 9, 10 and 12.
START/STOP - Press to Start/Stop a program or delete a set timer. To finish operation and delete the setting, hold for 3 seconds until a long beep is heard. Note: Do NOT press the Start/Stop button to check the baking process. There is a viewing window (2) in the lid (1), where you can check the progress.
1. Rotate the Baking pan anti-clockwise and pull upwards out of the appliance to remove from the Main unit.
2. Push the Kneading blade onto the drive shaft in the baking pan. Ensure it is firmly in place.
3. Carefully measure the ingredients and add to the Baking pan, in the order listed in the recipe.
4. With your finger, make a small indentation on one side of the flour. Add yeast to the hole and ensure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients or salt.
IMPORTANT: Use tepid water (21-28°C). When adding the yeast, ensure it does not come into contact with the water, or it will activate.
5. Put the Baking pan back into the Main unit by rotating the Baking Pan clockwise and ensure it is positioned securely.
6. Close the lid and plug the Bread Maker into the mains outlet. The Bread Maker will automatically default to the Regular program 1.

10. If you wish to delay the start time, set the time delay by using the ‘+’ & ‘-’ buttons. You can delay between 10 minutes and 13 hours. The displayed time includes baking time.
1. REGULAR
This program is suitable for baking white or brown breads, which largely consist of wheat or rye flour. The bread will have a compact consistency.
2. FAST
This program is for kneading, rise and baking loaf in a quicker time than the Regular setting. However, the bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a more dense texture.
3. FRENCH
This program is suitable for baking fluffy breads made from finely ground flours. The bread will be fluffy with a crispy crust.
4. EXPRESS
The times for kneading and baking as well as the rise time are greatly reduced in the Express program. This program is only suitable for recipes that do not require any strong flour types or other heavy ingredients. The bread will be smaller and less airy than breads made with other programs.
5. WHOLE WHEAT
This program is suitable for processing strong flours such as wholemeal wheat flour or wholemeal rye flour. The bread will have a heavy and compact consistency.
6. CAKE
Use this program to bake cakes according to your own recipes or cake mixes.
7. DOUGH
This program is for yeast dough for bread rolls, pizza or other pastries. A timer program is possible within this function. The program includes kneading and rising phases.
8. BAKE
If bread baked on a different program is too light or not baked through, use this program for additional baking. You can also bake ready-made dough with this program. The bread will be kept warm for nearly an hour after the end of the baking operation. This prevents the bread from becoming too moist.
9. SWEET
This program is suitable if you would like to add additional sugar or ingredients such as fruit juice, dried fruit, coconut flakes, raisins or chocolate to your bread. The program provides a fluffy, airy bread.
10. JAM
This program is used to make jam, marmalade and other fruit-based spreads. See included recipes for detailed instructions.
11. MIX/STIR
This program is for kneading dough only.
12. GLUTEN FREE
Gluten free flours and baking mixes have different rise properties and need more time to absorb fluids. This program has extended rise and baking times, so it is suitable for breads made with gluten free flour or gluten free baking mixes.
13. YOGHURT
This program can make yoghurt from cow or soy milk.
14. HOMEMADE
This program allows you to take full control of the baking process. You can adjust the times for kneading, rising, baking and keeping warm.
