Control unit

Use

You can make bread yourself the easy way with the WMF KULT X bread maker. All you need are the right ingredients and the WMF KULT X bread maker will do the rest. With a choice of 12 baking programmes, there is something to suit all tastes.

Overview of programmes

• All liquid ingredients must be poured into the baking pan first to ensure the best results. Only afterwards should the dry ingredients be added to the mix.
• The quickest way to bake bread is on the ultra-fast programme. The water temperature is especially important here as it influences the cooking process. Using warm water produces the best baking results.
• It is recommended that you use a separate baking pan for the preparation of preserves.

Before using for the first time

• When unpacking the appliance check that all parts have been included and are undamaged.
• Clean all removable parts before use as described in the chapter on “Cleaning and Care”.
• Because smoke may form when the appliance is heated up for the first time, we recommend operating the appliance once with an empty baking pan in place (without dough hook) on the baking programme (no. 12).
• Allow the bread maker to cool down and clean it again as described in the “Cleaning and Care” chapter.

Preparing bread, cakes and dough

• Open the lid of the KULT X bread maker and remove the baking pan by turning it anti-clockwise.

• To prevent the dough from sticking in the space between the dough hook and the baking pan we recommend coating the hole of the dough hook with heat-resistant margarine.

• Place the dough hook on the drive shaft of the baking pan with the broad side facing downwards.

• Then add all the required ingredients to the baking pan as per the recipe. Normally you add the liquid ingredients such as water or oil first. Sugar, salt and flour are added to the baking pan next followed by the yeast.
  Caution: The maximum quantity of flour is 550 g and two teaspoons of yeast.
  Note: Note that if you use too much flour the dough can overflow and burn onto the pan.

• Place the baking pan in the bread maker and lock it in place by turning it clockwise.

• Close the lid of the bread maker.

• Now insert the mains plug into the socket.

• Use the programme button to select the appropriate programme. Additional information on the individual programmes can be found on Page 17.

• Use the browning level button to select the required browning level (bright, medium, dark).

• Use the bread size button to select the required bread size (450 g or 750 g).

• When using the fast programme (no. 4), you do not have to select the bread size.

• The timer can be programmed using the – and + buttons (further information on using the time is included on page 19). This step can be skipped if the baking process is to be started straight away.

• Once you have entered the required settings, click on the Start/Stop button to begin the baking process. If possible do not open the lid before the baking time is finished as this has a negative effect on the baking result.

• During the second kneading process you will hear a repeated beeping tone, depending on the chosen programme (numbers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 11). Now you can open the lid as required to add extra ingredients such as raisins or nuts. Close the lid again immediately afterwards to obtain a good baking result.

• A repeated beeping tone will sound when the baking process is finished. You can take the bread out straight away and end the baking process by holding down the Start/Stop button or the keep-warm function turns itself on for a maximum of 60 minutes.

• Use a pan holder to remove the baking pan and gently twist the pan anticlockwise. Tilt the baking pan so that the bread can fall out onto a cake rack to cool down.

• If the dough hook does not automatically come loose you can use the hook remover to loosen it. To do this, insert it into the opening of the dough hook and connect it to the underside of the dough hook. Now carefully pull the dough hook out.

• Leave the bread on the cake rack for about an hour to cool down before cutting it, unless indicated otherwise in the recipe.

Setting the timer

If you do not want to start the baking process straight away you can use the timer function. You can set the time when you want your bread to finish baking in 10-minute increments by using the – and + buttons, and the baking time is taken into account. The maximum delay cycle is 13 hours.
Note: This function is not available with the following programs: ultra- fast programs, preserves and baking.
Note: Do not use any perishable foodstuffs such as eggs or fresh milk when using the timer function.

Keep-warm function
After the baking time has finished, the 60-minute keep-warm period starts automatically. If you want to remove the bread immediately after baking, hold down the Start/Stop button to stop the baking process.

Memory function
If the power supply is temporarily interrupted during the baking process, the process will automatically restart within 10 minutes without needing to press the Start/Stop button . If the power cut lasts longer than 10 minutes, you must restart the bread maker.

Useful tips

• Heavy dough: For heavy dough it is recommended that you change the sequence. Add the dry ingredients to the baking pan first followed by the liquid ingredients. If you want to use the timer function however, make sure that the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid prematurely.

• Baking mixtures: The programme for the classic loaf (no. 1) is generally suitable for baking mixtures, unless specified otherwise in the recipe. Do not add any more water to the baking mixture than
  the amount specified in the recipe. Depending on the recipe, it may be recommended to reduce the amount of water by up to 50 ml.

• Browning: Since the bread maker does not have a heat source around the lid, it is recommended that you use the maximum browning level if you want your bread to have a crispy texture.

• Eggs: If you are using extra eggs then the amount of liquid must be adjusted accordingly. It is also recommended that you beat the eggs before adding them to the baking pan.

• Backing chamber lighting: To replace the light bulb you can remove the glass cover with a coin. Please use an oven light bulb with the following characteristics:

  • E14
  • Total length 49 mm
  • Glass diameter 22 mm
  • 220-240V
  • 15W
  • 300°C

Cleaning and care

Remove the mains plug after use. Allow the bread maker to cool down before cleaning it. Remove the baking pan by holding the handle and twisting it in an anti-clockwise direction. Then remove the dough hook. If the dough hook is difficult to remove, fill the baking pan with lukewarm water for around 30 minutes and leave the dough hook to soak in it. Now it should be easier to remove. Clean the baking pan and the dough hook with a damp cloth, and avoid using sharp or abrasive cleaning agents that could otherwise damage the non- stick coating.

The baking pan must be dried out completely before it can be used again. Use a damp cloth to clean the bread maker, the lid and the window. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents as this could damage the surface. Never submerge the casing in water. You can put the measure, the measuring spoon and the dough hook remover in the dishwasher to make cleaning simple.
