12. Let the bread pan cool down before removing the bread. Then use non-stick spatula to
gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
13. Turn bread pan upside down onto a wire cooling rack or clean cooking surface and gently
shake until bread falls out.
14. Let the bread cool for about 20 minutes before slicing. It is recommended slicing bread

with electric cutter or dentate cutter, had better not with fruit knife or kitchen knife, otherwise
the bread may be subject to deformation.
15. If you are out of the room or have not pressed START/STOP button at the end of operation,
the bread will be kept warm automatically for 1 hour, when keep warm is finished, one beep
will be heard.
16. When do not use or complete operation, unplug the power cord.
Note: Before slicing the loaf, use the hook to remove out the Kneading blade hidden on the
bottom of loaf. The loaf is hot, never use the hand to remove the kneading blade.
Note: If bread has not been completely eaten up, advise you to store the remained bread in
sealed plastic bag or vessel. Bread can be stored for about three days during room temperature,
if you need storage for more days pack it with sealed plastic bag or vessel and then place it in
the refrigerator, storage time is at most ten days. As bread made by ourselves does not add
preservative, generally storage time is no longer than that for bread in market.
Special introduction
About Quick Breads
Quick breads are made with baking powder and baking soda that activated by moisture and
heat. For perfect quick breads, it is suggested that all liquids be placed in the bottom of the
bread pan ;dry ingredients on top, During the initial mixing of quick bread batters, dry
ingredients may collect in the corners of the pan, it may be necessary to help machine mix to
avoid flour clumps. if so, use a rubber spatula.
About Ultra fast program menu
The bread maker can bake loaf under 1 hour with ultra fast menu 2 settings can bake bread in
58 minutes, the bread is a little more dense in texture with this settings, Water of recipes use
hot water in the range of 48—50 °C, you must use a cooking thermometer to gauge the
temperature.
CLEANINGAND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the machine from the power outlet and let it cool down before cleaning.
1. Bread pan: remove the bread pan by turning it in anti-clockwise, then pulling the handle,
wipe inside and outside of pan with damp clothes, do not use any sharp or abrasive agents for
the consideration of protecting the non-stick coating. The pan must be dried completely before

installing.
Note: Insert the bread pan and press down until it fixed in correct position. If it cannot be
inserted, adjust the pan lightly to make it is on the correct position then turn it in clockwise.
2. Kneading blade: If the kneading blade is difficult to remove from the bread, use the hook.
Also wipe the blade carefully with a cotton damp cloth. Both the bread pan and kneading
blade are dishwashing safe components.
3. Housing: gently wipe the outer surface of housing with a wet cloth. Do not use any abrasive
cleaner for cleaning, as this would degrade the high polish of the surface. Never immerse the
housing into water for cleaning.
Note: It is suggested not disassembling the lid for cleaning.
4. Before the bread maker is packed for storage, ensure that it has completely cooled down,
clean and dry, and the lid is closed.
INTRODUCTION OF BREAD INGREDIENTS
1. Bread flour
Bread flour has high content of high gluten (so it can be also called high-gluten flour which
contains high protein), it has good elastic and can keep the size of the bread from collapsing
after rise. As the gluten content is higher than the common flour, so it can be used for making
bread with large size and better inner fiber. Bread flour is the most important ingredient of
making bread.
2. Plain flour
Flour that contains no baking powder, it is applicable for making express bread.
3. Whole-wheat flour
Whole-wheat flour is ground from grain. It contains wheat skin and gluten. Whole-wheat flour
is heavier and more nutrient than common flour. The bread made by whole-wheat flour is
usually small in size. So many recipes usually combine the whole -wheat flour or bread flour
to achieve the best result.
4. Black wheat flour
Black wheat flour, also named as“rough flour”, it is a kind of high fiber flour, and it is similar
with whole-wheat flour. To obtain the large size after rising, it must be used in combination
with high proportion of bread flour.

5. Self-rising flour
A type of flour that contains baking powder, it is used for making cakes specially.
6. Corn flour and oatmeal flour
Corn flour and oatmeal flour are ground from corn and oatmeal separately. They are the
additive ingredients of making rough bread, which are used for enhancing the flavor and
texture.
7. Sugar
Sugar is very important ingredient to increase sweet taste and color of bread. And it is also
considered as nourishment in the yeast bread. White sugar is largely used. Brown sugar,
powder sugar or cotton sugar may be called by special requirement.
8. Yeast
After yeasting process, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will expand
bread and make the inner fiber soften. However, yeast fast breeding needs carbohydrate in
sugar and flour as nourishment.
1 tbsp dry yeast =3 tsp dry yeast
1 tbsp dry yeast =15ml
1 tsp dry yeast =5ml
Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as the fungus in it will be killed at high temperature,
before using, check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Store it back to the
refrigerator as soon as possible after each use. Usually the failure of bread rising is caused by
the bad yeast.
The ways described below will check whether your yeast is fresh and active.
(1) Pour 1/2 cup warm water (45-500C) into a measuring cup.
(2) Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. yeast over the water.
(3) Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not stir the water.
(4) The froth should be up to 1 cup. Otherwise the yeast is dead or inactive.
9. Salt
Salt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. But salt can also restrain yeast from
rising. Never use too much salt in a recipe. But bread would be larger if without salt.
10. Egg
Eggs can improve bread texture, make the bread more nourish and large in size, the egg must

be peeled and stirred evenly.
11. Grease, butter and vegetable oil
Grease can make bread soften and delay storage life. Butter should be melted or chopped to
small particles before using.
12. Baking powder
Baking powder is used for rising the Ultra Fast bread and cake. As it does not need rise time,
and it can produce the air, the air will form bubble to soften the texture of bread utilizing
chemical principle.
13. Soda
It is similar with baking powder. It can also used in combination with baking powder.
14. Water and other liquid
Water is essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking, water temperature between
200C and 250C is the best. The water may be replaced with fresh milk or water mixed with 2%
milk powder, which may enhance bread flavor and improve crust color. Some recipes may call
for juice for the purpose of enhancing bread flavor, e.g. apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice
and so on.
INGREDIENTS MEASUREMENT
One of important step for making good bread is proper amount of ingredients. It is strongly
suggested that use measuring cup or measuring spoon to obtain accurate amount, otherwise the
bread will be largely influenced.
1. Weighing liquid ingredients
Water, fresh milk or milk powder solution should be measured with measuring cups. Observe
the level of the measuring cup with your eyes horizontally. When you measure cooking oil or
other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly without any other ingredients.
2. Dry measurements
Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and then
once filled, leveling off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup with more than is
required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. When measuring small
amounts of dry ingredients, the measuring spoon must be used. Measurements must be level,
not heaped as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.

3. Adding sequence
The sequence of adding ingredients should be abided, generally speaking, the sequence is:
liquid ingredient, eggs, salt and milk powder etc. When adding the ingredient, the flour can't
be wetted by liquid completely. The yeast can only be placed on the dry flour. And yeast can't
touch with salt. After the flour has been kneaded for some time and a beep will prompt you to
put fruit ingredients into the mixture. If the fruit ingredients are added too early, the flavor will
be diminished after long time mixing. When you use the delay function for a long time, never
add the perishable ingredients such as eggs, fruit ingredient.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
No. Problem Cause Solution
1 Smoke from ventilation
hole when baking
Some ingredients adhere to the heat
element or nearby, for the first use, oil
remained on the surface of heat element

7 Bread size is so large as to
push cover
Yeast is too much or flour is excessive or
water is too much or environment
temperature is too high
Check the above factors, reduce
properly the amount according to the
true reasons
8 Bread size is too small or
bread has no rise
No yeast or the amount of yeast is not
enough, moreover, yeast may have a poor
activity as water temperature is too high
or yeast is mixed together with salt, or the
environment temperature is lower.
Check the amount and performance of
yeast, increase the environment
temperature properly.
9 Dough is so large to
overflow bread pan The amount of liquids is so much as to make dough soft and yeast is also Reduce the amount of liquids and improve dough rigidity

excessive.
10 Bread collapses in the middle parts when baking
dough
1.used flour is not strong powder and
can’t make dough rise Use bread flour or strong powder.
2.yeast rate is too rapid or yeast
temperature is too high Yeast is used under room temperature
2.Excessive water makes dough too wet
and soft. According to the ability of absorbing water, adjust water on recipe
11 Bread weight is very large and organization construct
is too dense
1.too much flour or short of water Reduce flour or increase water
2.too many fruit ingredients or too much
whole wheat flour Reduce the amount of corresponding ingredients and increase yeast
12 Middle parts are hollow
after cutting bread 1. Excessive water or yeast or no salt Reduce properly water or yeast and
check salt
