Breakdown of programmes
1. BASIC- For white and mixed breads that mainly consist of wheat our or rye our.
The bread has a compact consistency.
2. WHOLE WHEAT- Whole wheat bread is a yeast bread that mainly consist of whole
wheat our (50% or more). Breads made from whole wheat our are more
nutrious because the our is milled from the enre wheat berry (including the
bran and the germ). Using whole wheat our produces bread that is brown to
dark brown in colour (when all whole wheat our is used) and the breads are
more avour some and healthier, than breads made with rened white ours
(even though “lost” nutrients are added back into white ours). This funcon
requires a longer preheang me as the grain needs to swell and expand.
3. FRENCH- For light breads made from ne our. French bread requires special
ming and temperatures to achieve that wonderful crispy, nicely browned crust.
This is not suitable for baking recipes requiring buer, margarine or milk.
4. QUICK- The programme will knead, rise and bake the loaf within a shorter period
of me than the basic bread programme. The bread baked on this seng is
usually smaller with a more dense texture. The rising agent for quick breads are
bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. The Quick funcon is mainly used for
recipes such as the chocolate and banana loaf.
5. SWEET- The Sweet Bread seng is for baking breads with high amounts of sugar,
fats and proteins, all of which tend to increase browning. Due to a longer phase
of rising the bread will be light and airy.
6. CAKE- Used for kneading and baking cakes. The cakes produced in the bread
maker maybe more dense and smaller than cakes cooked in a convenonal oven,
this is due to the shape and heat dierence in the bread maker.
7. JAM- The bread maker is a great cooking appliance for making homemade jams
and chutneys. If frozen, thaw completely before use. Crush berries with a fork or
potato masher. Make sure that the strawberries are not pureed. Put berries and
sugar into the pan of the machine. Select the jam program and start the
program. Do not alter the ingredient quanes as they will not set correctly.

10
8. DOUGH- This program will knead and raise the dough only. Remove the dough
and use for making bread rolls, pizza, steamed bread, etc.
9. ULTRA FAST- The quickest programme to knead, rise and bake bread, the bread
produced will be smaller and more dense than other loafs. Please note bread
produced on this seng requires warm water instead of cold water.
10. BAKE- The bake seng is for baking only, which can be used to increase the
baking me on selected sengs this feature is very helpful to set jams and
marmalades. This programme is normally used together with the “DOUGH”
funcon and will allow addional ingredients to be added (kneaded) into the
bread before the loaf is cooked. Remove the kneading paddle from the baking
pan, reshape the dough and return it to the machine. Allow the dough to rise for
at least 40 minutes and place it back in the machine. Select the “BAKE”
programme to then cook the bread. The “BAKE” programme can also be used to
add more colour to loafs. Simply press the “BAKE” programme and bake the loaf
unl the required colour is achieved.
11. GLUTEN FREE- The ingredients to create gluten-free breads are unique. While
they are “yeast breads,” the dough is generally weer and more like a baer. It
is also important not to over-mix or over-knead gluten-free dough. There is only
one rise and due to the high moisture content, baking me is increased. Mix-ins
must be added at the very beginning of the cycle with the other basic
ingredients.
12. HOMEMADE-Designed so it can be programed by the operator. The me range
of each program can be set as follows:
Under the menu of HOMEMADE
1. Press CYCLE buon once, KNEAD1 will appear on the LCD. Then press the TIME
buon to adjust the minutes, and press the CYCLE to conrm the me for this
step;
2. Press CYCLE to enter the next step, RISE1 will appear on the LCD. Then press the
TIME buon to adjust the minutes, the number will increase rapidly if the
TIME buon is held down. Press CYCLE to conrm.
3. Follow the above steps to set the remaining funcons. Once the last funcon has
been set, press the START/STOP buon to exit the seng.
KNEAD1: 6-14 minutes RISE3: 0-120 minutes
RISE1: 20-60 minutes BAKE: 0-80 minutes
KNEAD2: 5-20 minutes KEEP WARM: 0-60 minutes
RISE2: 5-120 minutes

programs, for details refer to the corresponding program described in the above
secon “MENU”.
LOAF/SIZE
Select the size of the bread: 700g, 1000g. When you have selected the desired size,
the LCD will display the corresponding size. Please note the total operaon me may
vary with the dierent loaf size. This buon is not applicable to some programmes, for
details refer to the corresponding program described in above “MENU” secon.
DELAY FUNCTION
TIME
If you want the appliance to start an operaon at a later me, you can use the TIME
buon to delay the starng me of the baking.
 Select your menu, colour and loaf size.
 The me will now display how long it will take to bake the loaf.
 Press the TIME buon to increase the me it will take for the baking process to
end. For example the Whole wheat funcon will display 3.32hrs the normal me
it will take to bake the loaf. If you wish to increase the baking me by an hour
press the TIME buon unl it displays 4.32.
 The maximum amount of me you can delay the mer by is 10 hours.
 Press the STOP/START buon to acvate the delay funcon.
 The amount of me will then begin to count down in the LCD display.
NOTE: For me delayed baking, do not use any easily perishable ingredients such as
eggs, fresh milk, fruits, onions, etc.
Do not use the delay funcon when making whole wheat bread.

Other programmes
KEEP WARM
Bread can be automacally kept warm for 1 hour aer baking. During the keep warm
funcon, if you would like to take the bread out, switch the program o by pressing the
START/STOP buon. Aer baking, the LCD displays “0:00” and beeps will signal the
start of the cooling process. It will then revert back to the default seng of the
machine.
NOTE: The programs Dough and Jam do not have the funcon of keep warm.
MEMORY
If the power supply has been interrupted during the course of making bread, the
process of making bread will be connued automacally within 10 minutes, without
the need to press the START/STOP buon. If the interrupon me exceeds 10 minutes,
the memory cannot be kept, and the bread maker must be restarted from the
beginning. If the dough has not entered the rising phase when the power supply breaks
o, you can press the START/STOP directly to connue the program from the
beginning.
ENVIRONMENT
The machine may work well in a wide range of temperatures, but there may be a
dierence in loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room. We suggest
that the room temperature should be within the range of 15˚c to 34˚c.
WARNING DISPLAY
If the display shows “HHH” aer you have pressed the START/STOP buon, 5 beeps
sound, which signals that the temperature inside the bread maker is sll too high and
the program will not funcon. Open the lid and let the machine cool down for 10 to 20
minutes.
If the display shows “LLL” aer you have pressed the START/STOP buon, 5 beeps will
sound, which signals that the temperature inside of the bread pan is too low. The bread
maker should be placed in a room with a higher temperature. (Except the program of
Bake).
If the display shows “EE0” aer you have pressed the START/STOP buon, beeps will
follow, this signals the open circuit is corrupted or the temperature of the bread maker
is incorrect. Press the START/STOP buon to stop the beeping sound. The “EE0” in the
LCD will connue ashing, please call the technical department. If the display shows

13. Wash, rinse and dry the bread pan and return it to its original place.

17
Instrucons for use
An important step for making good bread is using the correct amount of ingredients. It is
strongly recommended to use the measuring cup provided or measuring spoons to
obtain an accurate amount. The use of incorrect measurements can cause the bread to
fail.
1. Weighing liquid ingredients
Water, fresh milk or milk powder soluon should be measured accurately with
measuring cups. This can be done by placing a measuring cup on an even surface and
looking at it from a level view. When you measure cooking oil or other ingredients,
clean the measuring cup thoroughly before adding other ingredients.
2. Adding sequence
The sequence of adding ingredients should be followed exactly as stated in the recipe.
Generally speaking, the sequence is: liquid ingredient, eggs, salt and milk powder etc.
When adding the ingredients, the our should not be weed completely by the liquid.
The yeast can only be placed onto dry our and the yeast should not touch the salt.
When you use the delay funcon for a long period of me, never add the perishable
ingredients such as eggs etc.
If you wish to add extra ingredients to basic recipes it can be done in any of the
following two ways:
1. You can add extra ingredients to the bread pan with your basic ingredients at
the start of a programme. If you choose to add the extra ingredients at the start
of the programme they will not be kept whole but will add more avour and
depth the to the bread.
2. Extra ingredients can also be placed in the dispenser of the bread maker and will
be added to the dough automacally at the correct me.
3. Also note that you can incorporate ingredients into the dough before shaping
the dough and baking, by hand using the DOUGH programme.
Using the appliance to make a loaf
1. Lay the appliance on a rm and even surface.
2. Place the bread pan in posion, turn it clockwise unl a click can be heard. Once
you have ed the bread pan, aach the kneading blades to the axis in the

18
middle of the bread pan. Prior to baking it is advised that you grease the inside
of the n with margarine, this should be done before placing the kneading blade
on the axis. This will stop the dough from scking to the kneading blade and will
make it easier to remove.
3. Place the ingredients into the bread pan, pung the water in rst followed by
the sugar, salt and our. Always add the yeast or baking powder last. This should
be done by placing a small indentaon in the our making sure it avoids contact
with the liquid or salt.
NOTE: The maximum quanty of our and yeast is 600g and 3 teaspoons.
4. Close the lid gently and plug the
power cord into a wall outlet.
5. Press the MENU buon unl your
desired program is selected.
6. Press the LOAF/SIZE buon to
select the desired size (if applicable).
7. Press the COLOUR buon to select the desired crust colour (if applicable).
8. Press the START/STOP buon to start the operaon.
9. During operaon, the appliance will add the fruit or nut ingredients that are
in the ingredients box to the bread pan automacally (this excludes programs
for Dough, Jam and Bake).
10. Once the process has been completed, 10 beeps will signal. Press the START/
STOP buon for approx. 3 seconds to stop the process and take out the bread
with oven mis. Open the lid, turn the bread pan in an an-clockwise direcon
unl it reaches the UNLOCK posion, then take it out from the bread maker.
CAUTION: The bread pan and bread may be very hot! Always handle them with
care.
11. Press the STOP/START buon for three seconds unl the LCD display is set to its
default funcon.
12. Let the bread pan cool down before removing the bread. Use the non-
sck spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
13. Turn the bread pan upside down onto a wire cooling rack or clean cooking
surface and gently shake the bread pan unl the bread falls out.

Ingredients Informaon
Bread our
Bread our has a high gluten content (it can be also be called high-gluten our which
contains high protein), it has good elascity and can keep the bread from collapsing
aer rising. As the gluten content is higher than normal our, it can be used for making
larger sized breads. Bread our is the most important ingredient in making bread.
Plain our
Flour that contains no baking powder is ideal for making express breads.
Whole-wheat our
Whole-wheat our is ground from grain. It contains wheat skin and gluten. Whole-
wheat our is heavier and contains more nutrients than common our. The bread
made by whole-wheat our is usually small in size. So many recipes usually combine
the whole-wheat our and bread our to achieve the best result.
Black wheat our
Black wheat our, also known as “rough our” is a high bre kind of our and is similar
to whole-wheat our. To obtain a large size aer rising, it must be used in combinaon
with a high proporon of bread our.
Self-raising our
A type of our that contains baking powder that is generally used for making cakes.
Corn our and oatmeal our
Corn our and oatmeal ours are ground from corn and oatmeal separately. They are
the addive ingredients for making rough bread, which is used to enhance the avour
and texture of the bread.
Sugar
Sugar is a very important ingredient, which increases the sweet taste and colour of the
bread. Sugar is also considered as nourishment for the yeast. White sugar is largely

20
used but brown sugar and icing sugar may be used for special dietary requirements.
Yeast
Aer the yeasng process begins, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon
dioxide will expand the bread and make the inner bre soen. However, yeast is fast
breeding and needs carbohydrate found in sugar and our as nourishment.
1 tsp. acve dry yeast = 3/4 tsp. instant yeast
1.5 tsp. acve dry yeast = 1 tsp. instant yeast
2 tsp. acve dry yeast = 1.5 tsp. instant yeast
Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as the fungus in it will be killed at high
temperatures. Before using yeast check the producon date and storage life of your
yeast. Refrigerate it as soon as possible aer each use. The main cause of bread failing
to rise is bad yeast.
The method described below will check whether your yeast is fresh and acve.
(1) Pour 1/2 cup warm water (45-50˚C) into a measuring cup.
(2) Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and sr, then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the
water.
(3) Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not sr the water.
(4) The froth that appears should come up to 1 cups worth. Otherwise the yeast is dead
or inacve.
Salt
Salt is necessary to improve the avour and crust colour of the bread. Salt can also stop
the yeast from working. Never use too much salt in a recipe.
Egg
Eggs can improve bread texture and make bread more nourishing and larger in size.
Eggs must be added and mixed in evenly.
Grease, buer and vegetable oil
Grease can make bread so but can reduce storage life. Buer should be melted or
chopped into small pieces before using.
