ENVIRONMENT
The machine may work well in a wide range of temperatures, but there could be a
difference in loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room. We suggest
the room temperature should be between 15°C and 34°C.

ing blade.
1. For 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 bot-
tom of the bread pan, dry ingredients on top. During the initial mixing of quick bread,
batters and dry ingredients may collect in the corners of the pan, it may be necessary
to help machine mix to avoid our clumps. If so, use a rubber spatula.
2. About Ultra fast program
The bread maker can bake loaf within 1 hour with ultra fast program. This setting can
bake bread in 58 minutes, the bread is a little more dense in texture. Please noted
ingredient of water should be hot water in the range of 48—50°C, you must use a cook-
ing thermometer to measure the temperature. The water temperature is very critical to
the performance of baking. If the water temperature is too low the bread will not be rise
to expected size; if the water temperature is too high it will kill the yeast prior to rising,
which also will largely affect the baking performance.
SPECIAL INTRODUCTION

Disconnect the machine from the power and let it cool down prior to cleaning.
1. Bread pan: Rub inside and outside with a damp cloth. Do not use any sharp or
abrasive agents for the consideration of protecting the non-stick coating. The pan
must be dried completely prior to installing.
2. Kneading blade: If the kneading bar is difcult to remove from the axle, in such an-
event ll the Container with warm water and allow it to soak for approx.30minutes.
The kneader can then be easily removed for cleaning. Also wipe the blade carefully
with a cotton damp cloth, Please note both the bread pan and kneading blade are
dishwashing safe components.
3. Lid and window: clean the lid inside and outside with a slightly damp cloth.
4. Housing: gently wipe the outer surface of housing with a wet cloth. Do not use any
abrasive cleaner to clean as this would degrade the high polish of the surface.
Never immerse the housing into water for cleaning.
5. Before the bread maker is packed away for storage, ensure that it has completely
cooled down, is clean and dry, and put the spoon and the kneading blade in the
drawer, and the lid is closed.
1. Bread our
Bread our has high content of high gluten (so it can be also called high-gluten our
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 our, so
it can be used for making bread with large size and better inner ber. Bread our is
the most important ingredient of making bread.
2. Plain our
Flour that contains no baking powder, it is applicable for making extouch bread.
3. Whole-wheat our
Whole-wheat our is ground from grain. It contains wheat skin and gluten. Whole-
wheat our is heavier and more nutrient than common our. The bread made by
whole-wheat our is usually small in size. So many recipes usually combine the
whole -wheat our or bread our to achieve the best result.
4. Black wheat our
Black wheat our, also named as“rough our”, it is a kind of high ber our, and it is
similar with whole-wheat our. To obtain the large size after rising, it must be used
in combination with high proportion of bread our.
5. Self-rising our
A type of our that contains baking powder, it is used for making cakes specially.
6. Corn our and oatmeal our
Corn our and oatmeal our are ground from corn and oatmeal separately. They
are the additive ingredients of making rough bread, which are used for enhancing
the avor 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 ber soften. However, yeast fast breeding
needs carbohydrate in sugar and our as nourishment.
1 tsp. active dry yeast =3/4 tsp. instant yeast
1.5 tsp. active dry yeast =1 tsp. instant yeast
2 tsp. active dry yeast =1.5 tsp. instant yeast
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 avor 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 tempera-
ture 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 avor and
improve crust color. Some recipes may call for juice for the purpose of enhancing
bread avor, e.g. apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice and so on.
