Using Your Appliance
Filling with Ingredients:
• Ensure you have all the ingredients to hand.
• Carefully fill the barrel making sure you don’t leave any ingredients out. When filling, it is
essential that the ingredients are filled in the prescribed order, otherwise the bread will not be
properly baked.
IMPORTANT: The capacity of the Breadmaker is sufficient to bake a 2lb loaf, or to raise the
equivalent amount of dough for baking elsewhere. Do not exceed this amount otherwise the
mechanism may be damaged, or the dough may rise through the lid.
• The ingredients should be at a warm room temperature (20º-25ºC). If the room is cold (below
18ºC), use warm water (40ºC) to make sure the yeast ferments fully. To gauge the temperature
if you do not have a thermometer, heat some water and slowly add this to a jug of cold water
until the resulting temperature is barely warm to the touch.
• Measure and add the water to the barrel. Next add the salt and the other dry ingredients.
Finally add the yeast.
• It is essential to keep the yeast away from the salt and the water before mixing commences or
the bread will not rise properly.
• Clean off any spills around the outside of the bread barrel and lower it into the breadmaker.
Push down at the sides and ensure the barrel is firmly held in the side clips.
Keep Warm:
The Bread Maker has an automatic Keep Warm function which heats the bread for one hour after
baking. If you do not wish to use the Keep Warm function, hold the ON/OFF button down for 3
seconds once the baking function has finished. A buzzer will sound when the Keep Warm function
has turned off.
Automatic Dispenser:
The Automatic Dispenser allows fruit, nuts and other dry ingredients to be emptied into the bread
barrel at the correct time during use.
1. Before baking, open the lid of the bread maker and remove the dispenser box by pressing the
dispenser box handle and lifting it up.
2. Add the ingredients that you want to be added into the bread.
3. Place the two pillars in the bottom of the box holder; push the fruit box handle until it is set on
the lid.
Note: The dispenser does not operate during the Dough, Jam or Bake programs.
Memory Recall:
If the power supply is temporarily interrupted, the process of bread making will continue
automatically when power is restored. If the power cut exceeds 15 minutes the bread maker must
be restarted manually and you will have to begin the bread making process again with fresh
ingredients.

7
Cold Weather:
Although the Bread-maker works perfectly well at low temperatures, if your kitchen is cold the bread
may not be satisfactory. Bread should be baked in an ambient temperature around 20ºC (70ºF).
The Delay Timer:
The delay timer function allows you to delay the start time of the bread making program. If the
dough contains milk, fruit or onions, do not select the time delay function, but bake the dough
immediately.
If you would like to make your bread later: Press + or - to set the time you want the bread maker to
start operating in increments of 10 minutes.
For example, if you would like to have fresh bread ready for 7am and it is currently 8:30pm, you
would set the reserve time to 10 hours and 30 minutes, and then press the START/STOP button.
This includes the baking time for the type of bread selected.
Tips: Cover the yeast under the flour to maintain activity of the yeast.
Note: The delay timer is not available on all functions.
Using Your Appliance:
1. Take out the bread barrel from the inside of the bread maker and locate the stirring paddle
into hole at the base of the bread barrel.
2. Add the appropriate amount of water, eggs and flour to barrel, and finally add yeast powder.
(Ensure the yeast is added last).
3. Put the bread barrel holding the mixture into the bread maker ensuring the stirring paddle
locates onto the axle in the bread maker and close the lid.
4. Plug the bread maker into the electrical outlet. You will hear a buzzer sound and the digital
control panel will illuminate. The default value after starting the unit is 1.5lbs/Medium Colour/
soft bread.
5. Select your bread recipe by pressing Menu. You can then cycle through program settings 1-19.
6. Select your bread colour and loaf by pressing LOAF to select the weight (500-750-1000g) then
COLOUR to select how brown you would like your bread (Light/Medium/Dark)
7. If you want the bread maker to start immediately press START/STOP. A buzzer will sound at the
start of the cycle.
8. The bread maker will start and begin a countdown.
9. The bread maker will begin to stir flour. To avoid splashing of flour, the program can auto-set
interval stirring for the first 7 minutes.
10. After 7 minutes, the bread maker auto-switches to continuous stirring.
11. When the program is completed and the timer shows 00:00 a buzzer will sound. The barrel
may now be removed from the Bread Maker.
12. Your baked bread will be very warm, be careful when lifting it out of the bread maker. Be sure
to wear oven gloves to remove the bread.
13. The stirring paddle may get stuck in the bread when you remove the bread. If this happens,
use the hook tool supplied with the bread maker. Insert into the bottom of the stirring paddle
and pull the stirring paddle out gently.
After Cooking:
1. Lift the lid. Using a pair of oven gloves, remove the barrel from the bread maker.
2. Gently twist the barrel anti-clockwise as you remove it from the bread maker.
3. Place the bread barrel on a heatproof surface and leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Invert the bread barrel over a breadboard or other heat resistant surface and tap the bread

8
barrel lightly to release the bread.
5. Allow the bread to cool on a heatproof rack before use.
6. If the paddle has got stuck in the loaf, remove it with a melamine fork or other suitable tool.
Note: Always use a rack. If you leave the bread to cool on a normal work surface, water vapour in the
bread will not evaporate and the bottom of the loaf may be spoiled.

Bread Mixes:
Follow the information for bread mixes on the bread mix packet. Use Programme 1, the basic
soft setting when using bread mixes, based on a 1.5lb loaf. Many Bread mixes will allow use of
Programme 6 (Quick Bake). Check the instructions on the packet.
There are 2 types of bread mixes currently available.
1. Just Add Water.
These mixes are complete and they have all the necessary ingredients provided, even yeast. You only
add water, occasionally butter/nuts/fruit.
IMPORTANT:
Follow the packet instructions carefully, as some mixes contain more than the normal amount of
yeast, which could over rise in the barrel. Use 3 cups of mix maximum.
These mixes are more prone to over-rising and collapsing when the weather is hot and humid. Since
these mixes are complete, we cannot advise how to adjust, as with our own recipes.
Bake in the coolest part of the day, use water between 21-28°C
2. Just Add Flour And Water.
These mixes have the necessary ingredients in separate sachets.
Remember strong white bread flour is required. A packet of this mix will usually produce a 1.5lb loaf.
Check the instructions carefully.
