n Select your crust colour (light, medium or dark) by pressing the 'Colour' button until your desired colour is
selected. Your current selection will be displayed on the display screen.
n Press 'Loaf' button to select desired loaf size (700g or 1000g). Your current selection will be displayed on
the display screen.
n Press 'Start/Stop' button for 2 seconds to begin the baking process. An indicator arrow on the display
screen will indicate the current program cycle: Preheat, Knead, Rise, Bake, Keep Warm.
n The first knead cycle will actually mix the basic ingredients. Three kneads are standard for most bread
settings. The first knead is a few minutes, followed by a longer knead. There are periods of resting in which
the unit will not be active except for the countdown display. These are rise cycles.
Once you choose a program and press start, the unit will automatically take care of each step for you
until the loaf finishes baking.
n When the baking cycle is complete the 'End Bake' signal will sound 10 times. The bread display screen will
indicate that the unit is in 'Keep Warm' cycle and the time will read 0:00.
n Using oven gloves, open the lid and remove the bread pan by the handle using the metal hook provided.
N B If you do not stop the machine and remove your bread, the bread maker will automatically switch to
'Keep Warm' mode. Your bread will be kept warm for 1 hour to prevent your loaf from becoming soggy.
For optimal results, we recommend removing your loaf as soon as the baking cycle is complete, and letting
it cool on a baking rack.
n Remove bread from the bread pan. Using oven gloves, grab the bottom of the bread pan, move handle
aside and shake until the bread is released.
For best results, allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes prior to cutting.
N B Be sure the kneading paddle is removed from the finished loaf before slicing. Caution: the kneading
paddle will be extremely hot.
