  6. KLASIK
    The program is intended for white wheat and brown rye bread and also for bread flavored with herbs and raisins. This program is used the most.

  7. SPRINT
    For quick baking of white, wheat and rye bread. Bread baked in this mode is smaller and has a thicker centre. It is not possible to set the size of the loaf in this mode.

  8. TOAST
    The program is intended for baking of light bread, French bread with a crispy crust and light center. This setting provides longer time for kneading/stirring and rising necessary to make a “fluffier” texture, which is characteristic for French bread. It is not possible to set the size of the loaf in this mode. Note: The final shape is not a baguette.

  9. ULTRA FAST
    The program is intended for quick baking of white, wheat and rye bread. This setting shortens the time necessary for kneading/stirring, rising and baking to a minimum. Bread baked in this mode is smaller and has a thicker centre. It is not possible to set the size
    of the loaf in this mode. For this program it is necessary to use water (or other liquid ingredients) with temperatures 48-80 °C.

  10. WHOLE
    The program is intended for the baking of whole bread from flour low in gluten. This setting provides longer time for kneading/stirring, rising (i.e. swelling up of the seeds) and preheating. We do not recommend to use the “TIME” feature with this program.

  11. CAKE
    This program is intended for kneading/stirring of ingredients (e.g. for cake, pie) which are then baked for the time set. We recommend to first stir the ingredients into two parts and then pour them into the baking dish. It is not possible to set the size of the cake in this mode. We recommend to first stir the ingredients into two parts and then pour them into the baking dish. (More details in the part of the recipe).

  12. DOUGH PREPARATION
    The program is intended for kneading/stirring and rising of the dough without baking. You may use various foods for different types of breaks to make the dough (e.g. bread rolls, pizza etc.). If you intend to bake subsequently, it is necessary to set the corresponding weight, desired color and type of program. It is not possible to set the size in this mode.

  13. BAKING
    The program is intended for baking of brown bread, cakes or meatloaf. The program is preset for 60 minutes. The length of baking can be adjusted according to your needs by pressing the TIME button. The longest setting is 1 hour. It is not possible to set the size of the loaf in this mode.

FEATURES OF THE BREAD MACHINE

Audio signal function
The audio signal will sound:

  • when any of the program buttons is pressed (1 x short or long beep),
  • during the second kneading cycle in 1–KLASIK, 2–SPRINT, 5–WHOLE, 6–CAKE and 10–SANDWICH programs to signal that cereals, fruit, nuts or other
  • ingredients may be added (12 beeps)
  • when the program is ended (12 beeps)
  •  when activating the safety features (constant beep)
  • during 1. hour of heating-up every 5 minutes (5 beeps) a and after finishing the heating-up (1 beep).

Repeating the feature
In case of power failure it is necessary to turn on the device again. This is possible only if the program was interrupted before the first stage of baking. In such case it is necessary to check the device regularly in order that the dough does not over-rise.

Safety features
If you wish to use the bread machine right after previous baking and if the temperature of the inner space of the device is not too hot (over 40°C), after pressing the START/STOP button the display will show HHH and a constant audio signal will sound (beep). The device can not be turned on. Open the lid or take out the baking form and wait for the device to cool off. The audio signal can be cancelled by pressing the START/STOP button.

PREPARATION FOR USE AND PROGRESS OF BAKING

Unpack the bread baker and accessories. Remove all adhesive foils, stickers or paper from the appliance. Before first use, wash the parts in contact with foods in hot water with a detergent, rinse properly with fresh water and wipe or let it dry. Put all dried parts back to the bread baker and let the lid open. Then, set the program 8-PEČENÍ (BAKING) and turn it on for 10 minutes without ingredients inserted and then let the appliance cold. Potential short and mild smoking is not a defect and a reason for complaint. Place the bread baker on a flat and dry surface (e.g. a table) at height min 85 cm, out of reach of children. Plug the power cord A5 to an electric socket. Hold the pan E with both hands, slide it to the appliance and push to lock it in the centre of the baking space B. We recommend greasing the shafts and blades with suitable heat-resistant fat/margarine for easier removal of the blades from the bread. Then, insert two kneading blades F on the shafts in the baking pan. Slide the blades on the shafts with the flat area down and either towards or apart each other in the baking pan. Use the spoon and cup G, H to insert ingredients in order specified in your recipe.

Please always adhere to the basic rule – first all liquid ingredients are followed by loose ingredients. Close the lid C. Using suitable buttons MENU (SELECT), BARVA (COLOUR), VELIKOST (SIZE), ČAS (TIME), set the required program on the control panel A. Then, press the START/STOP button. The appliance automatically mixes and kneads the dough until proper consistency is reached. When the last kneading cycle is completed, the bread maker heats to an optimum temperature to rise the dough. Then, the appliance automatically sets the temperature and time for bread baking. After baking, the sound signal (ten beeps) will be heard and the bread or specialty may be removed from the appliance. If the bread is too light at the end of the baking program, use the BAKING
program for its further browning. Press the START/STOP button then select
program 8–BAKING and turn the device on. Then the appliance turns one hour keeping warm program; if you require no keeping warm program, press the
START/STOP button for about 3 seconds to finish the program.

Note:

  • With programs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 the device is previously heated and then the process of stirring and kneading begins. It is for this reason that the device does not make any “noise” after turning it on.
  • When using the device, it makes a characteristic sound (click). This is absolutely normal and is not a reason to take the device back.

End of the programmed stages
After the program ends, pull out the baking form E, lay it on a heat-resistant solid surface (e.g. cutting board). If the bread does not fall out of the form onto the surface, move the kneading shafts back and forth until the bread is released. If the kneading hooks stay in the bread, use the tool I to take them out easily. Let the break cool off afterward.
Note: use suitable personal protective equipment (e.g. kitchen gloves) for handling the hot baking pan, holder, blades etc. Do not use gross force on walls of the baking pan to release finished bread!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS RELATED TO BAKING

Bread stuck on the pan after baking
Let the bread cool down for about 10 minutes after baking and then turn the pan upside down. If needed, move the kneading blade shafts forward and backward. Grease the pan including the kneading blades for the next baking.

How to avoid holes in the bread due to the kneading blades?
You can remove the kneading blades with flour-coated fingers before the last dough rising phase. (See timing of the program phases and information on the display).

Dough rises over the pan edge
It happens especially when wheat flour with higher gluten content is used.

  • Reduce the amount of flour and adapt other ingredients. The finished bread will be of sufficient volume.
  • Spread a tablespoon of dissolved margarine on the dough.

Bread does not rise sufficiently

  • If a V-shaped groove appears in the centre of the bread, the flour does not contain a sufficient amount of gluten. It means the flour contains a few proteins (it happens during rainy summer) or because of moist flour. Measures: add a tablespoon of wheat gluten to each 500 g of flour.
  • If the bread is constricted in the centre, the reasons may be:
    • too high temperature of water;
    • too much water used;
    • gluten-low flour used.

When it is possible to open the lid during operation?
Generally, the lid can be opened at any time during the kneading phase. Small amounts of flour or liquids can be added during this phase. Proceed as follows if you require the bread has to have some aspects: Open the lid before the last kneading phase and make a cut on newly forming crust using a pre-heated knife, distribute cereals or a mixture of potato flour and water in order to achieve shiny crust. However, this is the last chance for opening the lid, otherwise, the crumb will collapse.

Flour
The most important flour element in the baking of bread is gluten. This is a natural agent thanks to which dough has its shape and allows keeping carbon dioxide produced by yeast. „Strong/solid“ flour is flour with high gluten content.

What is wheat whole grain flour?
The whole grain flour is produced from all types of cereals, including wheat. The term
„whole grain“ means the flour was ground from whole grains and therefore, it has higher proportion of non-digestible particles and darker colour. However, the darker colour of the bread is not caused by the use of whole grain flour.

What needs to be done when using rye flour?
The rye flour contains certain gluten level; this level is, however, lower than for other flours. To produce easily digestible bread, the whole grain rye bread has to be produced with higher yeast content.
How many different flours exist and how are they used?

  • Corn, rice and potato flour is suitable for people allergic to gluten or for those suffering from the low-absorption syndrome or stomach diseases.
  • Flour from spelt is expensive but without any chemical substances because this wheat grows on poor soil and requires no fertilizers. The spelt flour is especially suitable for allergic people. It can be used for all recipes described in the recipe book and replaces flour 405, 550 and 1050.
  • Millet flour is particularly suitable for persons suffering from many allergies. It can be used for all recipes described in the recipe book and replaces flour 405, 550 and 1050. Durum flour is suitable for baguettes thanks to its consistency and it may be replaced by durum semolina.

Number codes of flour types
T 405 Wheat semi-coarsely ground flour made from grains with sprouts and bran removed;
it is the „lightest“ and „the least“whole-grained.
T 550 Semi-coarsely ground light wheat flour
T 1050 Bread wheat flour

Yeast
Yeast is a live organism. It reproduces in dough and produces carbon dioxide bubbles causing rising of dough. Dried yeast is the most suitable for baking of homemade bread. They are available in a sack and the fermentation of yeast is not linked to sugar. They have lower sugar content and they are healthier. Store unused dried yeast at low temperature in dry place in air-proof packaging.

Salt
Of course, salt gives the right taste to bread. It may, however, decelerate the fermentation process.

Butter
Improves taste and softens; you can also use margarine or olive oil.

Sugar
Sugar improves taste of bread and it is partially the reason of the browning crust.
Note: some types of dried yeast may not ferment if you add sugar. Do not use sugar cubes or coarse sugar.

Water
Always use water of room temperature, best at 22 °C.

Other ingredients
They may include everything from dried fruits, cheeses, eggs, nuts, brown flour, condiments, herbs etc. It’s on you. Don‘t forget that ingredients such as cheese, milk and fresh fruit have higher water content that influences final loaf appearance. You should rather use dried alternatives such as dried cheese, milk etc. After gaining some experience in using the bread baker, you will recognize where it is necessary to add water or flour. Do not forget amount of salt because it decelerates fermentation. Some ingredients may be mixed at the beginning, e.g. dried milk and yoghurt; some add after the sound signal, e.g. nuts, dried fruit. If you monitor the baking process, you will know where the signal will sound.

Conditions
Work conditions are very important; the difference in the bread size is 15% if prepared in warm or cold environment.

Storing of bread
Home-made bread contains no preservatives. However, if you put bread to a clean and air-tight utensil and then to your fridge, you can keep it for 5 – 7 days. Moreover, you can freeze the bread.

How to bake fresh bread for good digestion?
The addition of mashed cooked potato to flour followed by dough kneading will make the fresh bread more digestible.

What to do if yeast is felt in the bread?

  • This taste is usually removed by addition of sugar.
  • Add one tablespoon of vinegar to water for small loafs and 2 tablespoons for big loafs.
  • Use buttermilk or kefir instead of water. It applies to all recipes and it is recommended for bread freshness improvement.

Why the bread baked in a classic oven tastes differently from the bread baker?
It depends on different moisture content: Bread baked in the classic oven is drier because of larger baking space whereas the bread made in the bread baker has higher moisture content.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Turn off and disconnect the appliance from power supply by unplugging the plug from the electric socket before maintenance! Clean cooled-down appliance only and after every use! Before the first use, we recommend coating the baking pan and the kneading blades with heat-resistant fat and warm them in the baker for about 10 minutes (160 oC). Clean
(polish) the baking pan from the fat using a paper napkin after cooling down. This is to protect the non-adhesive surface. Repeat the procedure after some time, if required. Use a mild detergent for cleaning. Do not use chemicals, gasoline, oven cleaners or abrasive or otherwise damaging detergents. Use a dampened rag to remove all the ingredients and crumbs from the lid, housing and baking space. Never soak the bread baker in water or fill the baking space with water! Wipe the outer areas of the baking pan with a dampened rag. Use a detergent to clean inner areas of the pan. Clean the blades and shafts immediately after use. If the blades are retained in the pan, it will be harder to remove them out. In this case, fill the pan with hot water and let it stand for about 30 minutes. Then, remove the kneading blades. Do not soak the baking pan in water for too long; rotation
of shafts would be impaired. The baking pan is coated by a non-adhesive coating. Do not use metal tools with the potential to scratch the surface. It is normal when the surface color changes over time. However, this change has no effect on the surface properties.

ENVIRONMENT

If the size of the appliance allows, all the parts contain marking of the materials used for production packaging, components and accessories as well as for recycling. The symbols on the product or in the accompanying documentation mean that the electrical or electronic product used must not be liquidated together with communal waste. To ensure the appropriate liquidation take the used appliance to a collection point where it will be accepted free of charge. Correct liquidation of the product helps to protect valuable natural resources and helps to prevent a potential negative impact on the environment and human health which can be the outcome of inappropriate liquidation of waste. More details can be obtained from your local authorities or the closest collection point. Inappropriate manipulation of such waste can result in a fine according to the national legislation. Maintenance of a serious nature or maintenance which requires interference with the internal parts of the appliance must be carried out by a professional service centre! By failing to follow the instructions issued by the manufacturer, the right to the warranty service will be invalidated!

  • c) Use other liquid or let it cool to room temperature. Add the ingredients required by recipe in the correct order. Create a shallow hole in the centre of flour and put yeast or dried yeast to it. Avoid direct contact of yeast with liquid.
  • d) Use fresh and properly stored ingredients.
  • e) Reduce total quantity of ingredients; Modify amount of liquid. If ingredients used contain water, water added must be decreased appropriately.
  • f) In case of humid weather, reduce water content by 1 – 2 tablespoons.
  • g) Remove bread from the pan immediately after baking and let it cool down before slicing for at least 15 minutes on a suitable pad (e.g. cutting board).

NOTICES TO RECIPES

  1. Ingredients
    Measuring as well as the order in which the ingredients are added are similarly important because each ingredient plays a specific role for the successful baking of bread.

    • The most important ingredients such as liquids, flour, salt, sugar and yeast (either standard or dried) influence the successful result of dough and bread result. Always use the right quantity at proper ratio.
    • Use warm ingredients if the dough has to be prepared immediately. If you wish to use the delayed start function, we recommend using of cold ingredients to prevent premature rising of yeast.
    • Margarine, butter and milk influence the taste and smell of the bread.
    • To have crust lighter and thinner, you can reduce sugar content by 20% without effect of a successful baking result. Replace sugar with honey if you prefer softer and lighter crust.
    • If you want to add cereals, let them soak over night. Reduce flour and liquid content (up to 1/5). Yeast is absolutely necessary for rye flour.
    • If you want to have especially light bread, rich to ingredients supporting bowel activity, add wheat bran to dough. Dosing is one tablespoon per 500 g of flour and increases liquid amount by one tablespoon.
  2. Adjustment of doses
    If you want to increase or decrease the doses, please ensure proportional adjustment of original recipes. To achieve the perfect result, follow the following basic rules for adjustments of the ingredient doses:

    • Liquids/flour
      The dough should be soft (not too much) and easy to knead without being fibrous. Knead lightly to create a sphere. However, this is not the case of heavy dough such as from whole grain rye or cereal bread. Check the dough after five minutes after the first kneading. If too moist, add flour in small doses to reach proper dough consistency. If too dry, add water by tablespoons during kneading.

    • Replacement of liquids
      When using ingredients with liquid content as prescribed in recipe (e.g. cottage cheese, yogurt etc.), reduce liquid content to the forecasted total quantity. When using eggs, whip them in the measuring cup and top up the cup with liquid to the required liquid level.

    • If you live at higher altitude (over 750 meters above sea level), the dough will rise quicker. In this case, you can reduce yeast amount by 1/4 to 1/2 of teaspoon for proportional reduction of rising. The same applies to soft water.

    • Bread baking supporting products
      For baking, you can add supporting products to the mixture (e.g. chlebostar, chlebovit, topics, estriol, vital, Falco, merger etc.).

  3. Adding and measuring of ingredients and quantities

    • Pour liquid first but the yeast as the last ingredient. To avoid premature activation of yeast (particularly when using delayed start function), yeast must not contact the liquid.
    • Use identical measurement units for measurement. Weights in grams must be measured precisely.
    • For specifications in milliliters, you can use the measurement cup with the scale steps from 50 to 200 ml.
    • Fruit, nut or cereal ingredients: If you want to add some other ingredients, you can do it using special programs after the beep sound. If you add the ingredients too early, they will be crushed during kneading.
  4. 4. Weights and volumes of bread

    • The recipes below include approximate data related to weights of bread. You will see that weight of pure white bread is lower than of whole grain bread. This is due to the fact that white flour rises more intensively.
    • Despite approximate weight data there may be minor differences. The real bread weight depends much on the moisture level of the room during preparation.
    • All breads of the highest weight level with a substantial portion of wheat are larger and they exceed the baking pan after the last rising. However, the bread will not spill. That part exceeding the pan will brown easily when compared to the bread inside the pan.
    • Where the 2-SPRINT program is proposed for sweet breads, you can use ingredients of lower volume also for the 6-DORT (CAKE), program to bake a lighter bread.
  5. Baking results

    • The baking result depends on local conditions (soft water, high air relative humidity, high altitude, consistency of ingredients etc.). Therefore, data in the recipes consist of reference points that may be suitably modified. If one or other recipe fails, don‘t let it discourage you. Try to find reason and try it again with modified proportions.
    • If the bread is too light after baking, you can brown it in 8-PEČENÍ (BAKING) program.
    • We recommend baking test bread before real over night bread baking setting to make potential changes, if necessary.
