how to measure ingredients (refer to illustrations 3 to 7)

It is extremely important to use the exact measure of ingredients for best results.

• Always measure liquid ingredients in the see-through measuring cup with graduated markings provided. Liquid should just reach marking on cup at eye level, not above or below (see 3).
• Always use liquids at room temperature, 20ºC/68ºF, unless making bread using the rapid 1 hour cycle. Follow the instructions given in the recipe
• Always use the measuring spoon provided to measure smaller quantities of dry and liquid Use the slider to select between the following measure – 1⁄2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1⁄2  tbsp or 1 tbsp. Fill to the top and level off the spoon (see 6).

• Plug in and press the ON/OFF switch @ situated at the back of the breadmaker – the unit will beep and 3:15 will appear in the display
• Always switch off and unplug your breadmaker after use.

program status indicator

The program status indicator is situated in the display window and the indicator arrow will point to the stage of the cycle the breadmaker has reached as follows: –

Pre-heat     – The pre-heat feature only operates at the start of the wholewheat (30 minutes), wholewheat rapid (5 minutes) and gluten free (8 minutes) settings to warm the ingredients before the first kneading stage begins. There is no kneader action during this period.

Knead   – The dough is either in the first or 2nd kneading stage or being knocked back between the rising cycles. During the last 20 minutes of the 2nd Kneading cycle on setting (1), (2), (3). (4). (5). (6). (10).

• an alert will sound to tell you to add any additional ingredients

Rise    – the dough is in either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd rising cycle.

Bake    – The loaf is in the final baking cycle.

Keep Warm   – The bread maker automatically goes into the Keep warm mode at the end of the baking cycle. It will stay on the keep warm mode for up to 1hour or until the machine is turned off, which ever is soonest. Please note: the heating element will switch on and off and will glow intermittently during the keep warm cycle.

✬✬ The Bread maker will automatically go in to the keep warm mode at the end of the baking cycle. It will stay in the keep warm mode for up to 1hour or until the machine is turned off, which ever is soonest.

delay timer

The Delay timer allows you to delay the bread making process up to 12 hours. The delayed start can not be used with the “RAPID BAKE” program and is not recommended for use with either the dough, jam or gluten free settings.

IMPORTANT: When using this delayed start function you must not use perishable ingredients – things that ‘go off’ easily at room temperature or above, such as milk, egg, cheese and yoghurt etc.

To use the DELAY TIMER simply place the ingredients in the bread pan and lock the pan into the bread maker. Then:

• Press the MENU pad  to choose the required program – the program cycle time is
• Select the crust colour and size required.
• Then set the delay
• Press the (+) TIMER pad and keep pressing until the total time required is displayed. If you go past the required time press the (-) TIMER pad to go The timer pad when pressed, moves in 10 minute increments. You do not need to work out the difference between the program time selected and the total hours required as the bread maker will automatically include the setting cycle time.

Example: Finished loaf required at 7am. If the breadmaker is set up with the required recipe ingredients at 10pm the evening before, total time to be set on the delayed timer is 9 hours.

• Press the MENU pad to choose your program e.g. 1 and use the (+) timer pad to scroll the time in 10 minute increments to display ‘9:00’. If you go past ‘9:00’, simply press the (-) timer pad until you return to ‘9:00’.
• Press the start pad and the display colon (:) will flash. The timer will start to count down.
• If you make a mistake or wish to change the time set, press the STOP pad until the screen clears. You can then reset the

power interruption protection

Your Bread Maker has an 8 minute power interruption protection in case the unit is accidentally unplugged during operation. The unit will continue the program if plugged back in straight away.

• Do not immerse either the Bread Maker body or the outside base of the bread pan in
• Do not use a dishwasher to clean bread pan. Dishwashing can damage the non-stick properties of the bread pan allowing bread to stick during
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or metal implements.
• Clean the bread pan and the kneader immediately after each use by partially filling the pan with warm soapy Leave to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. To remove the kneader, turn clockwise and lift off. Finish cleaning with a soft cloth, rinse and dry.
