This time preiod allows the machine and ingredients to come to the correct temperature for perfect baking. During this period there is no motor turning, however you will see the timer counting down. Refer to page 19 of the instruction booklet. 444/8502/60 Rev 1 Breadmaker 48265 Range The recipes in this cookbook have been developed using traditional dried active yeast. We recommend you do not use any of the fast acting, quick rising or easy bake yeasts from sachets unless stated otherwise in the recipes. This can cause the bread to rise too fast and collapse. If you have any problems with the bread sinking in the centre using traditional dried active yeast, this may be corrected by either reducing the yeast by 1/4 to 1/2 tsp or alternatively you may reduce the water by 1 to 2 tbsp. When the bread pan is removed from the machine after the baking programme allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool. You will notice that the crust colour on the top of the loaf is lighter in shade on the right hand side. This is due to the large viewing window, which prevents the crust browning. This is perfectly normal and does not reduce the quality or taste of the bread. 444/8502/68 Rev 1 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: 1 Read all instructions carefully. 2 Do not touch hot surfaces.

Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisin. 2 Quick (1:58) For white bread that is required in a shorter time. Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a dense texture. 3 Speciality (3:50) For the baking of light weight bread such as french bread which has a crisper crust and light texture. 4 Sweet (1:52) For the baking of sweet type bread which gives a crisper crust than on basic setting. The crisper crust is produced by the sugar `burning'. 5 Wholemeal (3:30 and 3:40) For the baking of bread containing significant amounts of wholewheat. This setting has longer preheat time to allow the grain to soak up the water and expand. It is not advised to use the delay timer as this can produce poor results. 6 Cake (2:00) This setting will mix ingredients and then bake for a preset time. It is required to mix two groups of ingredients in bowls before adding to the breadmaker (see cake recipes). 7 Dough (1:50) This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the final bread. Remove the dough and shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not exceed 1kg (2lb) of combined ingredients. 8 Extrabake (1:00) This setting is bake only and can be used to increase the baking time on selected settings. This is especially useful to help `set' jams and marmalade. When started the default time is 1 hour (1:00) minimum and counts down in 10 minute intervals.
