• Do not connect this appliance to an external timer or remote control system. • An extension cable may be used with care. The electrical rating of the cable should be at least as great as the appliance. Do not allow the cable to hang over the edge of the worktop or touch any hot surfaces.

The programmes are as follows: 1. BASIC Kneading, rising and baking normal bread. You may also add ingredients to increase flavour. 2. FRENCH Kneading, rising and baking of French style bread. This setting has a longer rise time and produces bread with a crisper crust and a lighter texture. 3.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE BREAD MAKER AND USING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME When the Bread Maker is used for the first time it may emit a slight burning smell when first switched on. This is completely normal with a new heating element. You will need to operate the Bread Maker empty for the very first use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE HOW TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS One of the most important steps for making good bread is to use the exact measure of ingredients. Always use the measuring cup and spoon provided with your Bread Maker. If you prefer to use kitchen scales, metric measurements have also been included in the recipe section.
Page 14
MAKING A LOAF – Things to remember Place the pan in position and turn it clockwise until it clicks in correct position. Rub a little margarine or butter onto the kneading paddle and position onto the drive shaft. This prevents the dough from sticking to the kneading paddle and assists with removing the paddle from the bread after baking.

6. Press the COLOUR button to select the desired crust colour (LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK). 7. If you want to delay the time the Bread Maker will start press the TIME + or TIME - button (for full details see page 9). Skip this step if you want the Bread Maker to start immediately.
15. Leave the loaf to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing. Sometimes the kneading paddle may remain in the loaf. If it does, use the hook to remove the paddle from the base of the loaf. Take care as the kneading paddle will be very hot. Always remove the kneading paddle before slicing the loaf.
A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS The major ingredient in bread making is flour, so selecting the right one is the key to a successful loaf. Wheat flours Wheat flours make the best loaves. Wheat consists of an outer husk, often referred to as bran, and an inner kernel which contains the wheat germ and endosperm.

• Salt strengthens the gluten structure and makes the dough more elastic. • Salt inhibits the growth of yeast to prevent over-rising and stops the dough collapsing. • Take care to add the correct amount as too much salt will kill the yeast or prevent it rising sufficiently.
• For best results use easy blend, fast-action yeast. • Use only the amount of yeast stated in the recipe. If too much is added it will cause the dough to spill out over the top of the bread pan. •...
HINTS AND TIPS • The Bread Maker is not a sealed unit and will be affected by the temperature and humidity of the day. If it is a very hot day or the machine is used in a hot kitchen, then the bread is likely to rise more than if it is cold.
RECIPES • The Bread Maker will make a 700g or 900g loaf depending on the programme. • Use the measuring cup and spoon supplied, and use accurate kitchen scales. • Follow quantities accurately. • The recipe charts show the sequence the ingredients are added to the bread pan. •...
