Fig. 1
8 9
The programmes are as follows:
1. BASIC programme time 3 hours
Kneading, rising and baking normal white or brown bread.
2. FRENCH programme time 3 hours 50 minutes
Kneading, rising and baking with a longer rise time. The bread will have a crisper crust and a
lighter texture.
3. WHOLE-WHEAT programme time 3 hours 40 minutes
Kneading, rising and baking of bread made with whole-wheat flours. Use this programme for all
whole-wheat, brown and granary type loaves. It has a longer second rising time.
4. QUICK programme time 2 hours 10 minutes
Kneading, rising and baking of bread in a shorter time than the BASIC programme but longer than
the ULTRA FAST programme. The programme has shorter rising times. It produces an excellent
loaf which will be slightly smaller than that produced from the BASIC programme and it will have
a slightly denser texture.
5. SWEET programme time 2 hours 55 minutes
Kneading, rising and baking of sweet bread.
6. GLUTEN-FREE programme time 3 hours 30 minutes
A special programme for those who use gluten-free flours and baking mixes. The programme has
a long second rising time.
The dough is usually more like a batter and is wetter than ordinary doughs.
7. ULTRA FAST programme time 1 hour 38 minutes
Kneading, rising and baking in the shortest time. The programme has only one rise and two
kneads. Loaves baked using this programme require warm water, extra yeast and less salt.
The loaf it produces will be smaller with a denser texture than bread made using the QUICK
programme. This programme is ideal if you want to make a loaf very quickly.
8. DOUGH programme time 1 hour 30 minutes
Kneading and rising. No bake. You can remove the raw dough and shape into rolls, pizzas etc
to cook in the conventional oven. Ideal if you like to make your dough in the Bread Maker and
then oven bake your loaf.
9. CAKE programme time 1 hour 50 minutes
This programme is for producing tea loaves or cakes containing baking powder or baking soda
and eggs rather than yeast dough. The cake programme mixes and bakes the cake. You may find
that cakes made in the Bread Maker will be smaller and a little more dense than those baked in a
conventional oven but will be just as moist.
10. SANDWICH programme time 3 hours
Kneading, rising and baking light-textured bread with a thinner crust – ideal for making
sandwiches.
11. BAKE programme time 1 hour
This is usually used in conjunction with the DOUGH programme to allow additional ingredients
to be kneaded into the dough by hand. After completion of the DOUGH programme, remove
the unbaked dough, carefully remove the kneading paddle, and reshape the dough, kneading
in the additional ingredients such as nuts, fruit etc, then return dough to bread pan and place
back in the machine. Close the lid and leave the dough to rise for approximately 30 – 40 minutes.
Select BAKE to cook the loaf.
You can also use the BAKE programme to darken crusts if the finished loaf is too light at the end
of your chosen programme. Simply select BAKE and leave the loaf to bake for longer, taking the
loaf out of the machine when you are happy with the colour.
Bread can also be crisped and freshened using the BAKE programme.
COLOUR
Press the COLOUR button to select a LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK coloured crust.
This cannot be used with the DOUGH setting.
TIME + and TIME –
(DELAYING THE START TIME) (Maximum delay time is 13 hours)
If you want to delay the start time so that the bread cooks overnight and is ready to eat in the
morning:-
Example;
It is 8.30pm and you want your bread ready at 7am the following day – i.e. in 10 hours and 30
minutes.
Select your programme and colour.
Press TIME + or TIME – to add the time until 10.30 appears on the display screen. The time
is set in increments of 10 minutes. Remember to include the operation time of your chosen
programme.
PresstheSTART/STOPbuttontoactivatethedelayfunction.
The dots will flash and the numbers will count down to show you the remaining time.
The bread will be ready for you at 7am.
DO NOT USE THE DELAY TIME WHEN USING INGREDIENTS THAT WOULD SPOIL SUCH AS
EGGS, MILK, CREAM OR CHEESE.
NOT SUITABLE FOR GLUTEN-FREE AND ULTRA FAST PROGRAMMES.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USE OF DELAY TIME SETTING WITH BREAD MIXES AS YOU CANNOT
SEPARATE THE YEAST FROM THE LIQUID.
OTHER FEATURES
AUDIBLE ALERT TO TELL YOU WHEN TO ADD ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS.
Part way through each programme (after approximately 30 minutes but it will vary according to
the programme you have selected) the machine will beep 10 times. This tells you that you can
add additional ingredients such as fruit, olives, nuts etc. (see page 13 for further information on
adding additional flavourings and ingredients ) The beeps are very clear and can be easily heard,
calling you back to the machine.
KEEP WARM
The Bread Maker will keep the bread warm for 60 minutes after baking. (Not with DOUGH
programme) At the end of the programme the bread maker will beep and the display screen will
show 0:00 indicating that the machine is in KEEP WARM mode.
POWER FAILURE BACKUP SYSTEM
The Bread maker is equipped with a power failure backup system or memory.
If the power system is interrupted during the course of bread making, the process of making

How to assemble the Bread Maker and using for the very first time
When the Bread Maker is used for the first time it may emit a slight burning smell when first
switched on. This is completely normal with a new heating element.
You will need to operate the Bread Maker empty for the very first use. This will also show you how
easy the Bread Maker is to use.
To do this;
1. Wash the bread pan and kneading paddle in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Place the Bread Maker on a flat, dry surface.
3. Position the bread pan in the baking chamber holding it at a slight angle and turning it
clockwise until it clicks into place.
4. Fix the kneading paddle onto the drive shaft.
5. Close the lid.
6. Switch on at the socket.
7. The Bread Maker will beep and the display screen will show the default setting 1,3:00
8. Press the MENU button repeatedly – the programme numbers will scroll through. Stop
pressing at programme number 11, 1:00 (BAKE). If you go past the number you require
simply keep pressing until programme 11 comes round again.

Instructions for use
HOW TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS
One of the most important steps for making good bread is to use the exact measure of ingredients.
Always use the measuring cup and spoons provided with your Bread Maker.
If you prefer to use kitchen scales, metric measurements have also been included in the recipe section.
• Anyliquidshouldbemeasuredwiththemeasuringcuporspoonprovided.Observethelevel
of the measuring cup at eye level.
• When measuring cooking oil or other liquids, wash, rinse anddrythemeasuring cup and
spoon thoroughly before measuring any other ingredients.
• Drymeasuringmustbedonebygentlyspooningingredientsintothemeasuringcupandthen,
once filled, level it off with a knife. Do not be tempted to add more than required or to pack
it down tightly into the cup as it will affect the recipe. When measuring small amounts of
dry or liquid ingredients, use the measuring spoon supplied. Measurements must be level, not
heaped, as this could affect the recipe.

MAKING A LOAF – Things to remember
How to put the ingredients into the bread pan;
Ensure the ingredients are put into the Bread Maker in the exact order given in the recipe,
for example;
First, liquid ingredients at room temperature or as specified in the recipe.
Second, dry ingredients. Add the flour gently and make sure it is evenly distributed over the
liquid. If you tip it onto the liquid too fiercely the liquid may seep up through the flour and affect
the action of the yeast. This is particularly important if you are using the time delay.
Last, yeast. The yeast must be kept separate from the wet ingredients and salt. Create a
small hole in the dry ingredients using your finger or a spoon and place the yeast in the hole.
Make sure the yeast is fresh – check the use by date.
Ensure the ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise stated. Water should be cold
unless the recipe states otherwise (as in ULTRA FAST programme).
Dry ingredients

Water or liquid
12 13
Rub a little margarine or butter onto the kneading paddle and position onto the drive shaft.
This prevents the dough from sticking to the kneading paddle and assists with removing the
paddle from the bread after baking.
Select your recipe – it is a good idea to use one of the recipes we have included in this booklet.
The BASIC bread recipe on page 19 is a good recipe to start with. When you are familiar with the
Bread Maker you can use or adapt your own recipes.
1. Add the ingredients to the bread pan as recommended in the recipe.
2. Close the lid.
3. Switch the Bread Maker on. You will hear a beep. The display panel will illuminate and show
the default setting (1, 3.00 the arrow pointing to MEDIUM)
4. Press the MENU button repeatedly until the programme you require is reached.
5. Press the COLOUR button to select the desired crust colour (LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK)
6. If you want to delay the time the Bread Maker will start press the TIME + or TIME - button.
(for full details see page 9) Skip this step if you want the Bread maker to start immediately.
7. PresstheSTART/STOPbuttonrmlyfor3seconds.
OnceyouhavepressedtheSTART/STOPbuttontheBreadmakerwillautomaticallytakecare
of each step of the bread making process until the loaf is completely cooked. The remaining
time will countdown on the display screen.
Check the dough after a few minutes to make sure that all the flour is incorporated into
the dough. Sometimes flour may be left in the corners of the bread pan. Press the PAUSE
button, open the lid and, using a non stick spatula, simply loosen the flour so it will be evenly
mixed in.
Close the lid again and press PAUSE to recommence the programme.
8. During each programme, after approximately 30 minutes, but this will vary according to
the programme you have selected, you will hear 10 beeps – this tells you that you can add
additional ingredients at this stage. Open the lid, add the ingredients and close the lid again.
There is no need to pause the machine. See “Adding additional flavourings and ingredients”
on page 13.
9. When the programme is complete you will hear 10 beeps and the display screen will show
0:00 the bread will now be automatically kept warm for 60 minutes if you do not switch the
Bread Maker off.
10.PresstheSTART/STOPbuttonrmlytostopthemachine.Thedefaultsettingwillappearin
the display screen (1, 3:00)
11. Open the lid and using an oven glove, turn the bread pan anti-clockwise and gently pull the
pan straight up out of the machine using the handle.
12. Turn the bread pan upside down and gently shake the loaf onto a cooling rack. If the loaf does
not fall out straight away gently loosen the sides of the loaf with a non stick spatula.
13. Leave the loaf to cool for at least 20 – 30 minutes. Sometimes the kneading paddle may remain
in the loaf. If it does, use the hook to remove the paddle from the base of the loaf. Take care as
the kneading paddle will be very hot. Always remove the kneading paddle before slicing the loaf.
Remember; if you do not stop the Bread Maker and remove your loaf the Bread Maker will
automatically switch to KEEP WARM mode. Your bread will be kept warm for 60 minutes to
prevent it from becoming soggy.
For best results, remove the bread as soon as the baking cycle is complete and allow it to cool on
a cooling rack.
Adding additional flavourings and ingredients
You can add many different flavours and ingredients to make a wide variety of delicious breads
for example nuts, seeds, fresh or dried herbs, sun dried tomatoes, olives, fruit, chocolate etc. the
list is endless.
There are two ways you can add these;
1. At the very start – with the main ingredients
If you add the ingredients at the start you will find that they will be very finely distributed
throughout the bread as they will be subjected to the vigorous bread making cycles. For
example if you add sun dried tomatoes at the start you will lose the texture of the tomatoes
but will get an attractive coloured bread with a delicious flavour and aroma but pieces of
tomato will not be detected in the dough. If you add them later on in the cycle you will retain
the texture of the tomatoes.
Foods such as herbs, small seeds e.g. sunflower, sesame or poppy seeds, cheese etc can be
added at the start because they will not lose their texture in the same way.
2. Before the final kneading, rising and baking cycle (the bread maker emits 10 beeps to call you
to the machine).
If you add ingredients before the final kneading and rising cycle the ingredients will be
distributed throughout the dough and will retain more of their shape and texture. Open the lid
after you hear the beeps and add your additional ingredients at this stage.
If you prefer you can add some of the ingredients at the very start so they add an overall flavour
and colour to the dough, retaining some to add later in the cycle so you have some bigger pieces
in the finished bread.
Note
If you are delaying the start time you will need to put all the ingredients into the bread pan at
the beginning. You will also need to consider the moisture content of additional ingredients.
Juicy dried apricots or roasted red peppers may add as much as a tablespoon of juice as they go
through the kneading process. Also, because too much sugar can interfere with the action of
yeast, high sugar additives like candied peel should be added late in the kneading cycle.
Bread maker cycles
Once you start a selected programme the appliance will automatically take care of each step of
the bread making process until the loaf finishes baking. The display screen will count down and
show the remaining time.
14 15
Delay time
This allows you to delay the bread making process for up to 13 hours.
Knead
Two kneads are standard for most settings. The first knead will actually mix the ingredients.
Rest
These are periods of resting in which the unit will not be active except for the countdown display.
Rise
These are periods of rising in which the unit will not be active except for the countdown display.
Bake
The loaf is in the final baking cycle. Baking time and temperature will be regulated according to
the individual recipe.
Keep warm
The Bread Maker will automatically go into KEEP WARM mode at the end of the baking cycle.
It will stay in this mode for 1 hour or until the machine is switched off. This means bread can be
served warm; it also helps to minimize moisture build up if the loaf is not removed from the Bread
Maker immediately after baking.

A guide to ingredients
The major ingredient in bread making is flour, so selecting the right one is the key to a successful loaf.
Wheat flours
Wheat flours make the best loaves. Wheat consists of an outer husk, often referred to as bran,
and an inner kernel which contains the wheat germ and endosperm. It is the protein within the
endosperm which, when mixed with water, forms gluten. Gluten stretches like elastic and the
gases given off by the yeast during fermentation are trapped, making the dough rise.
Strong White Bread flours
These flours have the outer bran and wheat germ removed, leaving the endosperm which is
milled into a white flour. It is essential to use strong white flour or white bread flour because this
has a higher protein level essential for the development of the gluten. Do not use ordinary plain
white flour or self raising flour for making yeast raised breads in the Bread Maker because you
will not get a good result. There are several brands of white bread flour in the shops – look for
STRONG or BREAD flour on the bag.
Strong Wholemeal or Whole-wheat Bread flours
Wholemeal flours include the bran and wheat germ and have a nutty flavour. Wholemeal flour
gives coarser textured bread. Again look for STRONG wholemeal bread flour. If you make a loaf
using all wholemeal flour it will be denser than white loaves. Wholemeal doughs rise more slowly
which is why there is a special programme on this machine. For a lighter loaf replace part of the
wholemeal flour with white flour.
Granary Strong Bread flours.
A combination of white, wholemeal and rye flours with malted whole-wheat grains, which adds
texture and flavour. You can use this on its own or in combination with strong white flour.
Non wheat flours
Other flours such as rye can be used with white and wholemeal bread flours to make traditional
breads like pumpernickel or rye bread. Adding even a small amount can add an interesting tang
to your loaf. Do not use it on its own as the dough will be very sticky and the loaf will be heavy
and very dense.
Other grains e.g. millet, barley, buckwheat, cornmeal and oatmeal;
These grains cannot be used alone to make bread as they are unsuitable but they can be added in
small quantities to white bread flour – try replacing 10 – 20% of white bread flour with any of these.
Salt
A small quantity of salt is essential for bread making. It helps to develop the dough and gives
flavour. Use fine table salt or sea salt rather than coarse ground salt which is best kept for
sprinkling on top of hand-shaped rolls etc to give a crunchy texture. Low salt substitutes are best
avoided as most do not contain sodium.
Salt strengthens the gluten structure and makes the dough more elastic.
Salt inhibits the growth of yeast to prevent over-rising and stops the dough collapsing.
Take care to add the correct amount as too much salt will kill the yeast or prevent it rising
sufficiently.

Sweeteners
Use white or brown sugars, honey, malt extract, golden syrup, maple syrup, molasses or treacle.

Fats and oils
A small amount of fat or oil will give a softer crumb and helps to extend the freshness of the loaf.
Use butter, margarine or lard in small quantities. Do not use low fat spreads as they contain up
to 40% water and can affect the overall quantities in your recipe.
Liquid
Some form of liquid is essential. Usually water or milk is used. Water gives a crisper result than
milk. Water can be combined with skimmed milk powder. If using the TIME DELAY it is important
to use water and skimmed milk powder as ordinary milk will deteriorate if left to stand for too
long. For most programmes you can use water straight from the tap but if using the ULTRA QUICK
programmes it needs to be lukewarm.

structure and stability to the gluten during rising. If you are using eggs, reduce the liquid
content accordingly. Place the egg in the measuring cup and top up with liquid to the correct
level for the recipe.
Yeast
All the recipes in this book have been tested using easy blend, fast-action yeast which does not
require dissolving in water first, is very easy to use and tends to give better results. It is placed in
a well in the flour where it is kept dry and separate from the liquid until the mixing commences.

Adapting your own recipes
After you have made some of the recipes supplied you may wish to adapt a few of your own recipes.
Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your own and use this as a guide.
Read through the following guidelines and be prepared to make adjustments as you go along.

REMOVING, SLICING AND STORING BREAD
• Forbestresults,once yourloafis baked,removeitfromthemachineand turnoutof the

are not around.
• Remove the bread pan from the machine using oven gloves, even if it is during the
KEEP WARM cycle. Turn the pan upside down and shake several times to release the cooked
bread. If the bread is difficult to remove, try gently knocking the corner of the bread pan on
a wooden board, or rotate the base of the shaft underneath the bread pan.
• The kneadingpaddle should remain insidethebread pan when thebread is released but
occasionally it may remain inside the loaf of bread. If so, remove it using the hook before
slicing the bread.
• Leavethebreadtocoolforatleast30minutesonacoolingrack,toallowsteamtoescape.
The bread will be difficult to slice if hot.
Storing
Home-made bread does not contain any preservatives so should be eaten within 2 – 3 days of
baking. If you are not eating it immediately, wrap in foil or place in a plastic bag and seal.
