Once the appliance is connected to the mains and switched on, "13:23"
will appear in the display. "1" indicates that Program 1 (normal) is on.
"3:23" indicates the program duration (3 hours, 23 minutes). The other
default settings after switching on the appliance are medium bread
weight and medium browning level, which is displayed by the two
arrows at the upper edge of the display.
2 Time buttons
The breadmaker can bake time-delayed so that the freshly baked bread is
ready at the desired time. By using these two buttons you can set the total
time at which the bread should be finished. The maximum adjustable
time is up to 15 hours, depending on bread size and the selected
program. Each time you press a time button, the time delay is increased
or decreased by 10 minutes. Please note that the fixed baking times of the
programs cannot be shortened.
3 Selection buttons
The breadmaker has 10 different baking programs that can be selected by
pressing the selection button. Press the button as often as needed until
the desired program appears at the left display edge.
4 Browning button
The browning level can be selected in the programs 1 to 6 and in program
10 using the browning button. If you press this button, the time in the
display will change on the one hand, and on the other an arrow will
appear indicating whether "light", "medium" or "dark" was selected.

AVAILABLE PROGRAMS
Bread dough programs
These programs are intended for bread dough with dry yeast. The dough
can be baked in three speed levels: "Normal", "Fast" and "Express".
Normal
Basic program for normal bread dough.
Baguette
Program for breads made of white, finely ground flour in the French style
and light breads with a crispy crust.
Wholemeal bread
Program for dough containing a larger portion of wholemeal wheat, rye,
oatmeal or bran. This program extends the third fermentation process so
that the heavier flour can rise. These breads are usually smaller and more
compact.
Since wholemeal dough must be saturated with water, this dough should
not be baked with time delay.
Sweet bread
Program for pastry, cake, sweet bread or for bread dough having
additional sugar, raisins or chocolate.
Yoghurt bread
Program for breads with added yoghurt or buttermilk.
Quick-baking program
Your breadmaker allows you to bake most breads in a shorter time than
the usual baking time. The "Fast" program is available for this.
Program "Fast"
The program shortens the baking time by approx. 1 hour. The resting
phase after baking is omitted.
Please note that the added water must be 30-35° C warm.
