This product makes good gluten efficiently with the
“kneading blade (patent acquired)” attached to the pot and
then thoroughly kneads the gluten at an optimal speed
without having to detach it.
(1) It is possible to display the pot temperature (≒dough
temperature).
*Temperature errors may arise depending on the
location where this product is used.
(2) It is possible to adjust the dough temperature with a
special refrigerant. (This cannot be heated up in a
microwave, so please warm up in hot water and then
use.) Please wrap the refrigerant around the pot when
you want to adjust the dough temperature by cooling in
a refrigerator beforehand.

Tips to Be Successful in Making Bread Dough
• The tools you need to have at the minimum
(1) Dough making: Scales and thermometer
(2) Separating and molding: Bread mat and card
• Other desirable tools
Rolling pin, baking pan, cup knife and brush
Amounts that can be made at a time
5
*The stainless steel pot cannot be used to knead sticky rice cake.
*The speed may become slower depending on the state of the dough,
but this is not a malfunction.
(1) Bread dough is sensitive to the temperature
The room temperature and water temperature has an impact on the fermentation and affects the
finish to the bread.
[Guide to the ideal water temperature] Summer: 15-20°C / Winter: 30-35°C
(2) Restore ingredients to room temperature
In particular, if you use milk and eggs while they are still cold, the dough temperature will lower and
this will have an impact later on the fermentation and maturation.
(3) Accurately weight ingredients
If you make a mistake with the weighing, this will have an effect on the finish – the dough will be too
hard or too soft.
(4) Do not dry the bread dough
Avoid drying the kneaded bread dough by maturing it with the pot cover on.

If you add time while the kneader is temporarily stopped due to the completion of a process and
then press the button, it is possible to lengthen the completed process. (This is only possible in
manual mode.) Furthermore, it is possible to go back to the previous process by temporarily
stopping the current process with the button and then pressing the button even if the
kneader has already moved onto the next process.
If you press the buttons during kneading (or mixing), it is possible to change the speed and time.

If you press the button and then press the button while the kneader is temporarily stopped,
it is possible to move onto the next process.
Although only process 1, you can freely use by setting the speed to “0” and
switching to fermentation mode or setting the time to a few seconds and
switching to degassing mode.
(It is possible to set, change and save only the speed and time of process 1.)
We recommend this for the short kneading of three processes: process 3
(kneading), process 4 (fermentation) and process 5 (degassing).
(It is possible to set, change and save only the speed and time.)
We recommend this for those who will fully use all seven processes in the
pursuit of deliciousness.
(It is possible to set, change and save the speed and time of all the processes.)
The “Oochi method” is a technique for making bread that has been cultivated for close to 50 years through
repeated scientific research into bread making by Shuzo Oochi and his wife Keiko.
(1) It is possible to make dough in as little as two hours between housework
The total actual time of effort required is 30-40 minutes because it is possible to knead the dough
in the kneader and then leave it until maturation in the pot.
(2) Improved version of the “straight kneading method”
• No special skills or experience is needed. There is no noise (e.g. from beating the dough).
• The ingredients are divided into two. In the first lot, 100% of water is put in for 40% of the flour
and then thoroughly hydrated in the kneader to make good gluten quickly.
(3) Reproduces the basics of bread making
• This is a bread making method with few failures because the three elements of hydration
(texture), maturation (taste) and fermentation (inflation) are skillfully controlled.

Cautions
Maintenance
Detaching
Remove the pot cover, blade and pot in that order.
How to detach the blade
• Please only ever carry out maintenance after unplugging the plug from the outlet.
• Please do not use benzene, thinner or polish because they will damage the surface of the
kneader. In particular, if the blade becomes damaged, it will not be possible to carry out
kneading properly and this will interfere with the finish to the bread dough, so please pay
attention to this.
• Please do not throw the washed dough leftovers directly into sinks. Flour that has solidified is
not very soluble in water, so this may lead to clogging in the pipes.
• After using the kneader, please be sure to detach the blade from the axis of the pot. If you
leave it as it is, the dough will harden and it may become difficult to detach the blade.
• Please remove flour that has accumulated in the body-pot installation unit with a brush, dish
cloth or cleaner.
Please vigorously turn the blade in
a clockwise direction while the pot
is still attached to the body of the
kneader to detach it.
*If you leave the pot for a long time after use, the flour
will harden and it may become difficult to detach
the blade. Please detach the blade from the pot
as soon as possible after use.
Body of the Kneader
Please lightly wipe away dirt on the surface of the body of the kneader
with a soft and dry cloth.
When very dirty, wet a soft cloth with water, wipe the surface after firmly wringing the cloth and then
polish with a dry cloth.
