HOW TO USE THE SMART/PRESET TIMER
The ‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s Oven Smart/
Preset Timer allows you to wake to the aroma of
fresh baked bread in the morning. You can set
the timer up to 15 hours in advance before you
require your baked loaf.
Recipes using perishable ingredients should not
be made using the Smart/Preset Timer.
STEP 1.
To bake a loaf of bread on the Basic Medium
Bread setting using the Smart/Preset Timer,
follow steps 1-7 under the heading ‘Beginner’s
Guide to Your First Loaf’ on Page 9.
STEP 2.
To preset the timer use the Timer button on
the control panel to enter the number of hours
in which you want your bread to be ready (the
amount of time shown on the control panel will
include the total setting time). To set the time,
press the Timer button the appropriate number
of times until you see the number of hours and
minutes displayed. Each time you press the
Timer button, the timer advances 10 minutes.
Hold down the Timer button for speedier
adjustment.
Example
Before leaving for work at 8.00am, you decide
to make a loaf of White Bread and wish to have
it ready for dinner at 6.00pm (10 hours later).
Press the Timer button until 10:00 hours appears
on the control panel. Press the Start/Start button.
Your ‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s Oven will
begin making your bread at the appropriate time
for it to be ready at exactly 6.00pm.
Remember the breadmaker will keep bread
warm for 1 hour after the loaf cycle has finished.
STEP 3.
Press the Start/Stop button. The colon (:) in the
time displayed begins to flash, letting you know
the Smart/Preset Timer has started. The preheat

cancel the current selected programme.
NOTE: The Smart/Preset Timer cannot be used
for all recipes. Individual recipes will
specify if not suitable.
NOTE: It is advisable before using the Smart/
Preset Timer for the first time to test
the recipe. It is advisable to weigh and
measure ingredients accurately to
ensure the correct ratio of flour/water
and other ingredients are used.
NOTE: During the delayed time before the
bread machine begins kneading, the
temperature of the ingredients and
interior cavity will be maintained at a
suitable temperature. To ensure the
efficient operation of the bread machine
use in an area not affected by extremes
of heat or coldness.
NOTE: For quieter operation, the ADD-IN
BEEPER and other beeps do not sound
when the Smart/Preset Timer is used.

HOW TO INCREASE THE FINAL RISING TIME
The flavours and textures available in bread
today are many and varied. With this in mind, the
‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s Oven provides the
facility for those who enjoy their bread lighter in
texture and higher in volume.
When using settings 1 to 6, 10 and 13 the bread
machine will beep at 4 second intervals for 1
minute, at 5 minutes prior to the completion of
the final rising cycle.
To increase the rising time by 10 minutes: press
the Loaf button once during these beeps and
the Display Window will show an increase of 10
minutes in the remaining time.
The bread machine will repeat the process when
the extra 10 minutes has elapsed, allowing a
further 10 minutes to be added to the rising cycle
(20 minutes in total to the final rising time).
Should you choose not to increase the time in
the final rise, the bread machine will continue
with the time remaining in the selected setting.
HOW TO INCREASE THE BAKING TIME
The ‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s Oven allows
you to increase the baking time twice before the
end of the baking cycle. When using settings 1
to 10, the bread machine will beep at 4 second
intervals, for 1 minute, at 5 minutes prior to the
completion of the baking cycle.
To increase the bake time by 10 minutes: press
the Crust button once during these beeps and
the Display Window will show the adjusted time
(‘15:00’).
At 5 minutes before the completion of the
adjusted time the bread machine will repeat the
process, allowing a further 10 minutes to be
added to the baking time (20 minutes in total to
the baking cycle).
Should you choose not to increase the baking
time, the bread machine will continue with the
time remaining in the selected setting.
USING THE BAKE ONLY SETTING
The Bake Only setting of the ‘Deluxe’
Breadmaker Baker’s Oven gives more versatility
to your bread making.
The Bake Only setting is useful when wishing to:
• Crispen loaves already baked and cooled
• Re-warm loaves already baked and cooled
• Delay-bake a finished dough
• Melt or brown toppings on bread
To use the Bake Only Setting:
1. Press the ‘Select’ button nine times and the
Display Window will show ‘9’ (Bake Only).
2. Press the Start/Stop button, ‘1:00’ will
appear in the Display Window (the time is
automatically set at 1.00 hour).
3. Should your bread require less baking
time, press the Start/Stop button at the
appropriate time and remove the bread
from the bread machine and bread pan. Cool
on rack.

BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF
The following instructions are to be used when
making Bread or Dough recipes from the recipe
section of this book.
All recipes use Standard Metric Measuring tools
(cup, spoons and weighing scales), for accuracy
in producing a 1Kg or 750g loaf of bread.
Before making your first loaf, remove all
packaging and point of sale from the ‘Deluxe’
Breadmaker Baker’s Oven.
1. Open the lid and remove the bread pan
Open the lid and remove the bread pan from the
‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s Oven by grasping
the bread pan handle, twisting the pan anti-
clockwise and lifting straight up.
Always remove bread pan from the ‘Deluxe’
Breadmaker Baker’s Oven before adding
ingredients to ensure ingredients are not spilt
into the baking chamber or onto the element.
Before using for the first time, we recommend
that the inside of the bread pan and the kneading
blade be washed with warm soapy water, rinsed
and dried thoroughly. Do not immerse the bread
pan in water.
2. Insert the kneading blade
It is important that the kneading blade is properly
mounted on the shaft in the base of the bread
pan by aligning the flat edges on the inside of
the kneading blade with the flat sides of the
shaft.
If the blade is not seated correctly, ingredients
may not be mixed and kneaded properly.
NOTE: Before inserting the kneading blade
ensure that there are no crumbs
attached to the shaft inside the bread
pan or inside the hole of the kneading
blade.
3. Add the ingredients into the bread pan
It is IMPORTANT that the ingredients are added
in the correct order listed in the recipe and that
the ingredients are measured and weighed
accurately or the dough may not mix correctly or
rise sufficiently.
All ingredients should be a room temperature
20-25ºC. Ingredients should be added in the
following order, unless otherwise directed in the
recipe:
1st. Liquid ingredients
2nd. Fat, i.e. butter or oil
3rd. Dry ingredients; salt, sugar, flour
4th. Yeast
NOTE: If the yeast contacts the water before
kneading, the bread may not rise well.
This is very important when using the
Smart/Preset Timer.
TIP: Always ensure that each dry ingredient
- salt and yeast are placed at opposite
ends of the bread pan.
4. Return the bread pan to the machine
Insert the bread pan into the machine as follows:
1. Place the bread pan into the baking chamber.
2. Locate the drive mechanism of the pan
directly into the base of the baking chamber.
3. Twist the bread pan clockwise into position.
4. Lower the handle.
5. Close the lid
Opening of the lid is not recommended during
operation except to check the consistency of the
dough during the kneading cycle or to glaze and
add seeds to the top of the loaf in the baking
cycle.
6. Plug in the bread machine
Insert plug into a suitable power outlet. Switch on
at the power outlet.
7. Switch on
Turn the appliance on using the ‘ON’OFF’ switch
located at the back of the breadmaker. The
Display Window will automatically show ‘0:00’.

11
BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF
8. Select the bread size and crust colour
Press the Select button until the Display Window
indicates the appropriate bread setting. For basic
white bread press the Select button once and ‘1’
will appear in the Display Window. The Loaf size
is automatically set at 1Kg and Crust colour set
at Medium.
For another loaf size and crust colour, press the
Loaf and Crust buttons until the red light aligns
with the desired setting.
9. Start the bread machine
Press the ‘Start/Stop’
button to begin the bread
machine operation. The
total setting time will appear
in the Display Window. The
setting time will count down
in one-minute increments.
The kneading cycles then
commence.
Add-in Ingredients Beeper
The ‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s Oven features
an ‘Add-In Ingredient Beeper’ which operates
in the Basic, Basic Rapid, Wholewheat,
Wholewheat Rapid, Sweet, Yeast Free,
Continental and Dough settings.
The machine will beep 8 times, approximately 5
minutes before the end of the second kneading
cycle, indicating the time to add any additional
fruit, nuts, herbs, chocolate, etc. required or as
specified in recipes.
The addition of ingredients at this time assists
with keeping fruits, etc., whole, rather than being
mashed through the bread dough.
While the machine is still kneading open the lid,
add the ingredients gradually in batches, allowing
the dough to slowly combine with the ingredients.
Take care not to drop ingredients over the side of
the bread pan into the baking chamber, as these
may burn and smoke during the baking cycle.
DO NOT PRESS THE ‘START/STOP’ BUTTON
TO ADD INGREDIENTS AS THIS WILL CANCEL
THE PROGRAM.
When the kneading cycle ends the dough will
start to rise. During the three rising cycles the
dough will be degassed twice by the blade
moving at the end of the first and second rising
cycles. The dough rises fully in the third rising
cycle, then the baking cycle commences.
Refer to Page 8 on ‘How to Increase the Final
Rising Time’ and ‘How to Increase the Baking
Time’.
During the baking cycle steam may sometimes
come out of the vents on the lid. The window
may steam up. This is a normal part of the bread
making process.
When the bread is finished baking, the machine
will sound 3 double ‘beeps’ and the Display
Window will read ’0:00’. The bread is now ready
to remove.
10. Remove the bread pan
Use oven mitts to remove the hot bread pan.
Grasp the bread pan handle and twist anti-
clockwise to release. If the pan is difficult to
release allow to cool for a few minutes. When
making bread, it is recommended to remove the
bread at the end of the baking cycle to retain the
crispness of the crust.
If you do not wish to remove the bread
immediately, the ‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s
Oven will automatically go into a ‘Keep Warm’
cycle, holding the temperature of the bread for
up to 60 minutes (except on Pasta Dough, Pizza
Dough and Dough settings).

12
BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF
11. Take the bread out of the bread pan
Use oven mitts to gently shake the bread out
of the pan on to a wire rack. Check that the
kneading blade has remained in the pan. Place
the bread upright on the wire rack to cool. We
recommend allowing the bread sufficient cooling
time before slicing, approximately 15 minutes.
NOTE: When baking is completed and the
bread has been removed from the bread
pan, remove the kneading blade from
the pan using oven mitts. Do not attempt
to remove the blade with your bare hand,
as it is very hot! If the kneading blade
sticks to the driveshaft after removing
the bread from the pan, pour warm
water into the pan and let it soak for
approximately 10 minutes.
12. Switch off and unplug the bread machine
Press the ‘Start/Stop’ button to turn the ‘Deluxe’
Breadmaker Baker’s Oven off. The display
will reset to ‘0:00’. Then switch off to clear the
display window using the switch located behind
the breadmaker and unplug at the power outlet.
Never pull on the power supply cord.
If wishing to make another loaf of bread
allow approximately one hour for the ‘Deluxe’
Breadmaker Baker’s Oven to cool down before
using again.
Leave the lid open to help the machine cool
down more quickly. If the ‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker
Baker’s Oven is too hot it will display an error
code and will not operate until it cools down to
the correct operating temperature for kneading.
When storing the bread machine switch off and
remove power supply plug from power outlet.
Ensure it is completely cool, clean and dry. Place
the bread pan and kneading blade into baking
chamber and close the lid. Do not place heavy
objects on the lid top. Store the bread machine
upright.
13. Cut the bread
Before cutting the bread always make sure the
kneading blade is removed from the bottom of
the baked bread loaf prior to slicing.
After the bread has cooled, cut the bread using
a serrated bread knife or electric knife on a
firmly-seated breadboard. A standard knife is
likely to tear the bread.
14. Store the bread
Store the bread in freezer bags in a sealable
bread box. To store for more than a few days
place the bread into freezer bags. Remove any
air and secure with ties and label. Bread may be
frozen for up to 1 month.

13
WEIGHING AND MEASURING
Measuring Up
Baking bread is in part a science and each
ingredient plays an integral role.
Therefore care should be taken when weighing
and measuring ingredients to obtain accuracy.
Metric Weighing Scales
For consistent results it is recommended that a
set of metric weighing scales be used as they
provide greater accuracy than measuring cups.
Tare (zero) the scales with the container in
position then spoon or pour ingredients in until
the desired weight is achieved.
NOTE: In general, water weighs the same in
grams as it measures in millilitres.
Metric Measuring Cups and Spoons
When using graduated metric measuring
spoons, level the top of the spoon with a
straight edged knife or spatula. Do not use
heaped spoonfuls. If using the graduated
metric measuring cups, it is important to spoon
or scoop the dry ingredients loosely into the
required cup. Do not tap the cup on the bench,
or pack the ingredients into the cup unless
otherwise directed. Level the top of the cup with
a knife.
DO NOT USE TABLEWARE SPOONS OR
CUPS.
Metric Liquid Measuring Jugs
If measuring liquids using a graduated metric
measuring jug. Place jug on a flat surface and
check for accuracy at eye level.
DO NOT USE TABLEWARE JUGS OR
MEASURING CUPS.

THE VITAL INGREDIENTS
FLOUR
Flour is the most important ingredient used for
bread making. It provides food for the yeast and
structures the loaf. When mixed with liquid, the
protein in the flour starts to form gluten. Gluten
is a network of elastic strands, which interlock to
trap the gases produced by yeast. This process
increases as the dough undergoes kneading and
provides the dough with the structure required to
produce the weight and shape of the bread.
White Wheat Flour
The flour used in the bread machine should be
bread flour. Baker’s flour or strong white plain
flour may be used. There is no need to sift the
flour. Strong flour is most readily available,
however best results are obtained from flour
with at least 11%-12% protein content. Choose
a good quality make. Many types of flour now
specify on the packaging that they are suitable
for breadmakers. Do not use self-raising flour
unless indicated in the recipe.
NOTE: When using a low protein, stone ground,
wholemeal or plain flour the quality of
the bread can be improved by adding
11/2- 2 tablespoons of gluten flour.
Wholemeal Flour
Contains all the bran, germ and flour of the
whole-wheat grain. Although breads baked with
this type of flour will be higher in fibre, the loaf
will be lower in height and heavier in texture.
A lighter textured bread can be achieved by
replacing 1 cup of wholemeal flour with white
bread flour.
Rye Flour
A popular flour used for bread making, rye flour
is low in protein so it is essential to combine rye
flour with bread flour to make bread successfully
in the ‘Deluxe’ Breadmaker Baker’s Oven.
Gluten Flour
Gluten flour is a concentrated mixture of gluten-
forming protein and wheat flour. Adding gluten
flour can improve the structure and volume of
bread when using low protein, stone ground,
wholemeal or plain flour.
BREAD MIXES
These convenient mixes contain flour, sugar,
milk, salt, oil and other ingredients such as
bread improvers. Usually only the addition of
water and yeast is required.
For information on brands of bread mix contact
the manufacturer listed on the breadmix
packaging.
BREAD IMPROVER
Several brands of bread improvers are available
nationally in supermarkets and health food
stores. Bread improver is often found in sachet
form. The ingredients in a bread improver
are usually a food acid such as ascorbic acid
(Vitamin C) plus other enzymes (amylases)
extracted from wheat flours.
NOTE: Adding a bread improver will help
strengthen the framework of the bread
resulting in a loaf that is lighter in
texture, higher in volume, more stable
and with enhanced keeping qualities.
NOTE: Usually 1 teaspoon is adequate for
a 750g and 1Kg loaf. Although bread
improver does improve the quality of
bread, it is not an essential ingredient in
most recipes.
SUGAR
Sugar provides sweetness and flavour, browns
the crust and produces food for the yeast.
White sugar, brown sugar, honey and golden
syrup are all suitable to use. When using honey
or golden syrup it must be counted as additional
liquid.
Do not use caster or other sugar for jam
making. Jam making sugar (often referred to
as preserving jam sugar) should always be used.
JAM SETTING MIX/PECTIN
When making jam, the jam set can vary from
soft set to firm set depending upon how much
jam setting mix is added. Jam setting mix is
usually found in the sugar aisle in your local
supermarket, is often titled “Pectin” or “Jam
Setting” and comes in sachet form. All makes
have instructions for use on the packaging. A
good guide is 7g of fruit setting mix (Pectin) to
450g of fruit for a soft set. This is only a guide
and should be adjusted to suit individual taste.

15
THE VITAL INGREDIENTS
POWDERED MILK
Milk and milk products enhance the flavour
and increase the nutritional value of the bread.
Powdered milk is convenient and easy to use
(store in an airtight container in the refrigerator).
Fresh milk should not be substituted for
powdered milk unless stated in the recipe. Low
fat or skimmed milk powder can be used with
good results. Soy milk powder can also be used
but produces a denser loaf.
SALT
Salt is an important ingredient in bread making.
However, salt inhibits the rising of the bread,
so be careful when measuring as it should
be accurate. Refer to Questions and Answers
(Page 16 and 17). Never use low sodium salt or
coarsely ground salt.
NOTE: Salt should always be placed at the
opposite end of the bread pan away
from the yeast. If mixed, the salt will kill
the yeast.
FAT
Fat adds flavour and retains the moisture.
Butter, (unsalted) margarine or vegetable oil,
such as sunflower, canola, etc., can be used.
If using butter or hard margarine it should be
chopped into small pieces before adding to the
bread pan to ensure even mixing.
YEAST
Without yeast the bread will not rise. Yeast
needs liquid, sugar and warmth to grow and rise.
Dried yeast has been used in the recipes in this
instruction book. Before using dried yeast always
check the use by date, as stale yeast will prevent
the bread from rising.
Yeast is available either fresh or dried. When
using the breadmaker ALWAYS use the dried
yeast which comes in sachets labelled FAST
ACTION or EASY BLEND/EASY BAKE. Do not
use tinned yeast as it will not work. Do not use
fresh yeast.
Dried yeast is very sensitive to moisture, so
once a sachet has been opened, do not keep it
for longer than one day.
WATER
Tap water is used in all recipes. If using water in
cold climates or from the refrigerator, allow water
to come to room temperature. Extremes of hot or
cold water will prevent the yeast activating.
EGGS
Eggs are used in some bread recipes and
provide liquid, help with the raising and increase
the nutritional value of the bread. They give
flavour and tenderness and are usually used in
the sweeter type of breads.
NOTE: Do not use more or less of any other
ingredient specified in the included
recipes. Always adhere to recipe
recommendations.
OTHER INGREDIENTS
Fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc., are added
when the machine sounds 8 short beeps
approximately 5 minutes before the end of the
second knead on Settings 1 to 5, 7, 10 and 13.
If added before this stage, excessive kneading
will cause the ingredients to break down, rather
than hold their shape.
Additional ingredients should always be added
gradually to the bread pan to ensure adequate
mixing.

HINTS AND TIPS TO BETTER BREAD MAKING
Tip: If using milk as an alternative to milk
powder, the amount to use is 1/3 of the
total liquid quantity in the recipe, e.g.
If the recipe had 300ml, then 200ml of
water should be used and 100ml of milk.
Tip: If your machine is making a knocking
noise during mixing, switch machine off
at the mains and ensure that the bread
pan and blade are correctly in place.
Tip: If you live in a high altitude (above
900m) you will probably need to alter
your bread recipe, as the higher the
altitude the lower the air pressure, the
faster the dough will rise. Try reducing
the yeast by 1/4 teaspoon.
Tip: If the weather is hot and humid, reduce
the yeast by 1/4teaspoon to avoid over
rising of the dough.
Tip: Flour properties can alter on a seasonal
basis, therefore it may be necessary to
adjust the water and flour ratio. This can
be determined after ten minutes of the
kneading cycle. Simply open the lid of
the bread machine and if the dough is
too sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon
at a time until the dough reaches a
firmer consistency.
If the dough is too dry add more water,
1 teaspoon at time until a softer, more
pliable dough results. After being
properly kneaded, dough with the correct
amount of flour and water, should form
into a smooth round ball.
Tip: When handshaping dough for rolls,
weigh each piece of dough for more
evenly sized results.
Tip: Xantham Gum and other gluten-free
products can be obtained by calling
the Herbarium Mail Order Company on
01978 36497.
Tip: “Knock back” is a term used to describe
kneading the dough to get all the air out
and improve bread texture.
ALWAYS
✔Always measure ingredients accurately
- weighed measurements are in fact more
accurate than volume measurements.
✔Always use breadmaker flour unless recipe
states otherwise.
✔Always add ingredients to the bread pan in
the order stated in the recipe.
✔Always store opened ingredients in airtight
containers.
✔Always use ingredients at room
temperature.
✔Always use sachet labelled FAST ACTION
or EASY BLEND/EASY BAKE yeast.
✔Always use level teaspoons and
tablespoons for all recipes.
✔Always use metric measuring cup and
spoons.
NEVER
✘Never use flour that contains a protein level
of less than 11% i.e., generic brands of
plain flour.
✘Never use tableware cups and spoons for
measuring.
✘Never use compressed yeast or fresh yeast.
✘Never use tinned yeast as it will not work.
✘Never use hot water or liquids.
✘Never use metal utensils to remove the
kneading blade from the cooked loaf of
bread or bread pan as this may cause
damage to the non-stick coating.
✘Never operate the machine if any
ingredients have spilled over or around the
element. First unplug and then wipe away
any spills to prevent smoking occurring in
the baking cycle.
✘Never use the Smart/Preset Timer setting for
recipes that contain perishable items, such
as eggs, cheese, milk, cream and meats.
✘Never use self-raising flour to make yeasted
bread unless recipe states otherwise.
✘Never immerse your bread machine or
bread pan in water or any other liquid.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT INGREDIENTS
Q: Can other bread recipes be made in this
machine?
A: The recipes in this book are sized so that
the dough is kneaded properly and the
finished bread does not exceed the bread
pan capacity. Use only recipes with similar
quantities of ingredients.
Q: Can fresh milk be used instead of dry milk?
A: Yes - but not when using the Smart/Preset
Timer. Bread made with fresh milk will have
a heavier texture than bread made with milk
powder. The milk has to be scalded and
cooled before adding to the other dough
ingredients. Substitute the water with fresh
milk and omit the milk powder.
Q: Can butter or margarine be used in place of
oil?
A: Yes, but the bread crumb may appear
a more creamy, yellow colour. Use hard
margarine that is unsalted.
Q: Can other sweetening agents be used in
place of sugar?
A: Yes - honey, golden syrup or brown
sugar can be used. Do not use artificial
sweeteners. When substituting honey or
similar sweet liquids for sugar, reduce the
water by the same amount.
Q: Why do the ingredients need to be placed
into the pan in the specified order?
A: To ensure all dry ingredients are mixed
with water, to avoid the yeast activating
prematurely with the water when using the
Smart/Preset Timer, and also to prevent the
yeast being killed off by the salt.
ABOUT BAKING BREAD:
Q: The bread cycle has been accidentally
cancelled/reset or a power failure has
occurred during the bread making
process. What can I do?
A: If the power is accidentally turned off for 5
minutes or less during the cycle, the ‘Deluxe’
Breadmaker Baker’s Oven has a 5 minute
memory function that will automatically
resume the cycle when power is restored.
If the cycle can not be resumed or is
cancelled:
During the Kneading stage - select the
setting again and allow dough to re-knead
and continue through the process. The result
may be a loaf higher in volume and lighter in
texture.
During the Rising stage - turn the machine
off. Leave the dough in the pan and in the
baking chamber with the lid closed. Allow
the dough to rise up in size until almost
near the top of the pan. Remove the dough
and knead into a round ball on a lightly
floured surface. Place the dough into a
lightly greased loaf pan and allow to rise
in a warm area until doubled in size. Bake
in a conventional oven at 200ºC for 40-50
minutes or until cooked when tested.
During the Baking Cycle - finish baking in
a conventional oven at 200ºC until cooked.
Take care near hot surfaces, use oven mitts.
Q: What happens if the bread isn’t removed
when the bake cycle is complete?
A: The bread machine will automatically go
into a ‘Keep Warm’ cycle (in the Basic, Basic
Rapid, Wholewheat, Wholewheat Rapid,
Sweet, French, Bake Only and Continental
settings), holding the temperature of the
bread for up to 60 minutes. However, as
the loaf cools it gives off steam that cannot
escape from the bread pan. The bread crust
may become soft and the loaf may lose its
shape.

18
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: Why did the bread not rise?
A: There may be several reasons. Check the
protein level of the flour and use by date
of the yeast. The yeast may have failed to
activate, the yeast measurements may be
inaccurate or sometimes people just forget
to add the yeast. The yeast may also have
been placed by the salt which kills it.
Q: Why do large holes appear inside the
bread?
A: Occasionally air bubbles will concentrate
at a certain location during the last rising
and will bake in this state. Check the
recipe ingredients and method of weighing/
measuring.
Q: Why does the kneading blade stay inside
the bread when it is removed from the bread
pan?
A: Sometimes this may happen and it is usually
caused by the crispness of the crust. To
locate the blade and avoid damaging the
non-stick coating of the blade use a non-
metallic utensil (a wooden chopstick is
ideal). Use a dry, thick cloth or oven mitts to
remove the blade as it will be hot.
Q: Why does the top of the bread collapse?
A: Usually this is because the ingredients are
not in balance or a low protein flour is used.
Check the method of weighing/measuring
the ingredients. Too much yeast, water or
other liquid ingredients, or not enough flour,
may cause the bread to be pale on top and
collapse with baking.
Q: Why does bread colour differ?
A: This is probably because the ingredients in
each recipe differs. A different crust colour
may also have been selected.
Q: Are the room and water temperatures
important?
A: Yes - room and water temperature influence
yeast activity and therefore can affect the
quality of your bread. The average room
temperature is approximately 20 - 25ºC.
Room temperature water should also be
used.
NOTE: Never use hot water, as it will kill the
yeast.
ABOUT USING THE SMART/PRESET TIMER
Q: Why can’t the Smart/Preset Timer be set
past 15 hours?
A: The ingredients may deteriorate in quality or
ferment if they are left inside the bread pan
for many hours. This is especially the case
during the summer, when the timer should
be set to a shorter period of time.
Q: Why can’t some ingredients be used with
the Smart/Preset Timer?
A: Most protein foods, such as milk, cheese,
eggs, bacon, etc., are perishable and will
deteriorate if left unrefrigerated for more
than one hour.
