in loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room. We suggest the room
temperature should be between 15 ℃and 34℃.
WARNING DISPLAY:
1) If the display shows “H HH” after the program has been started, the temperature
inside is high (accompanied by 5 beep sounds. In this case, the program must be
stopped. Open the lid and let the machine cool down for 10 to 20 minutes.

programs BAKE), this means the temperature inside is too low (accompanied by 5
beep sounds), stop sound by pressing the START/STOP button, open the lid and let
the machine rest for 10 to 20 minutes to return to room temperature. Alternatively,
you can select the BAKE program to increase the temperature inside the chamber

How to make bread

heat-resisting margarine prior to placing the kneaders, this stops the dough from
sticking below the kneader, making it easy to remove from the baked bread load.

recipe. Usually, the water or liquid substance should be placed firstly, then add
sugar, salt, and flour. Always add yeast or baking powder as the last ingredient.
Note: the maximum quantities of the flour and yeast which may be used refer to the
recipe.

Special introduction
For Quick breads
Quick breads are made with baking powder and baking soda which are 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 and dry
ingredients may collect in the corners of the pan, it may be necessary to help the machine mix
to avoid flour lumps. If so, use a rubber spatula.
