The breadmaker can create that same experience every morning. There's very little effort on the part of the baker, because this automatic breadmaker is a sophisticated counter top appliance with a computer memory that does all the work for you. Just follow the recipe instructions, and wake up to fresh baked bread in your automatic breadmaker. But don't stop at baking bread in this appliance. Besides being able to do all kinds of speciality breads, including wholemeal, you can also prepare doughs for hot cross buns, bread rolls and braids.

The breadmaker has a choice of 8 settings, which can be selected by pressing the SETTING button. When connecting the breadmaker, the display shows the pre-set time 3.00 = 3 hours. Setting 1 ­ Basic white (3 hours) For preparation of white bread and mixed bread. This program is used the most frequently. The breadmaker will knead the dough three times. After the second kneading the breadmaker will beep. This beep indicates that additional ingredients may now be added. Setting 2 ­ Quick (2 hours 20 minutes) For preparation of white bread and mixed bread. The breadmaker kneads the dough twice and beeps during the second kneading process in order to add other ingredients. The period of dough rising is shortened so the bread requires less time, but will be smaller than normal. Setting 3 ­ French (3 hours 50 minutes) For preparation of French white bread. The breadmaker will knead twice, but has longer rising times and bakes longer, so the bread gets a thicker crust. Setting 4 ­ Cake (1 hours 50 minutes) For preparation of recipes with baking powder and cake. The breadmaker stirs once and then bakes the mixture. Setting 5 ­ Wholemeal/wholewheat (3 hours 40 minutes) For preparation of wholemeal bread. Breads made with wholewheat/wholemeal flour are lower in volume and have a dense texture compared to breads made with white flour. The breadmaker will knead twice, the dough rises and bakes longer. Setting 6 ­ Dough (1 hours 30 minutes) For preparation of different types of dough, for shaping and baking elsewhere. The pan is not heated and the degree of crust colour must NOT be selected (leave on medium crust setting). Setting 8 ­ Extra bake At the end of any baking program, press the stop button. If required remove the bread from the pan (see how to use your breadmaker 10, 11 page 8). If you require the bread to be baked longer to give it a crispy crust put it back in the machine (remove kneading blade from bread or pan), close the lid, select Extra bake. The default time is 0:10 minutes, press start to accept this time or press left timer set button to increase this time period in 10 minute steps, press start. 10 to 20 minutes will normally be sufficient, when you are happy with the bake press stop button. Once the operating time has ended, the breadmaker starts the keep warm function for 1 hour, bleeping every 5 minutes, press stop at any time to stop this function. Crust colour Except for Dough program or Rebake program each program offers 3 different degrees of crust colour, which you can select by pressing the CRUST COLOUR button. - crust medium - crust dark - crust light We recommend you choose the medium crust colour setting on all recipes unless otherwise stated in the recipe. The dark crust setting will give a thicker hard crust. Start/stop This button serves to start or stop the program. Only press the button once you have selected the SETTING program, CRUST COLOUR and the DELAY TIMER if required. As the button is pressed you will hear a beep, the machine will start and the timer will count down. To stop the breadmaker push this button for 3 seconds.
