Who has never dreamed of making their own freshly baked bread at home? Now you can using a breadmaker. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, all you have to do is add the ingredients and the breadmaker does the rest. You can easily make bread, bread dough, pizza dough, brioche, pasta and jam effortlessly. However be aware that to make the most of your breadmaker a certain learning curve is necessary. Take the time to get to know it and don't be disappointed if your first attempts aren't quite perfect. But if you're impatient to make your first loaf, one of the recipes in the quick-start paragraph will help you take your first steps. Note that the texture of the bread you'll get is more compact than bread from a bakery. Also, remember that all baked loaves have a hole underneath where the kneading paddles are positioned while the bread is baking in the pan. FIRST STEPS TIPS FOR MAKING GOOD BREAD 1. Please read these instructions carefully: the method for making bread with this appliance is not the same as for hand-made bread. 5. To avoid spoiling the proving of the dough, we advise that all ingredients should be put in the bread pan at the start and that you should avoid opening the lid during use (unless otherwise indicated). Carefully follow the order of ingredients and quantities indicated in the recipes. First the liquids, then the solids. Yeast should not come into contact with liquids, sugar or salt. 2. All ingredients used must be at room temperature (unless otherwise indicated) and must be weighed exactly. Measure liquids with the graduated beaker supplied. Measure liquids with the graduated beaker supplied. Use the double doser supplied to measure teaspoons on one side and tablespoons on the other. All spoon measures are level and not heaped. Incorrect measurements give bad results. GENERAL ORDER TO BE FOLLOWED: 3. For successful bread making using the correct ingredients is critical. Use ingredients before their use-by date and keep them in a cool, dry place. is important to measure the quantity of flour precisely. That is why you should weigh out flour using a kitchen scale. Use packets of active dry baker's yeast. Unless otherwise indicated in the recipe, do not use baking powder. Once a packet of yeast has been opened, it should be used within 48 hours. 4. It Liquids (butter, oil, eggs, water, milk) Salt Sugar Flour, first half Powdered milk Specific solid ingredients Flour, second half Yeast 14 QUICK-START To get to know your breadmaker, we suggest trying the BASIC BREAD recipe for your first loaf.

Lift out the bread trough by lifting the handle and pulling forwards and backwards to unclip the two sides, one by one. Fit the kneading paddles. Put the ingredients in the pan in exactly the order recommended. Make sure that all ingredients are weighed with precision. Place the bread pan in the breadmaker. Replace the bread trough and press on one side then the other to engage the mixer drives and clip it in on both sides. Plug in the bread maker. After you hear the beep, programme 1 settings are displayed by default, i.e. 1000 g, medium browning. Press the button. The indicator light will come on. The timer colon flashes. and the timer will count down. The operating indicator lights up. The cycle will start. Unplug the breadmaker at the end of the cooking or warming cycle. Lift the bread pan out of the breadmaker by pulling on the handle. Always use oven gloves as the pan handle is hot, as is the inside of the lid. Turn out the hot bread and place it on a rack for at least 1 hour to cool. 15 USING YOUR BREADMAKER Basique Français Complet Sucré Rapide Sans gluten Sans sel Riche en oméga 3 Damper Cake Confiture Pasta Pâte levée Cuisson A default setting is displayed for each programme. You will therefore have to select the desired settings manually. SELECTING A PROGRAMME Choosing a programme triggers a series of steps which are carried out automatically one after another. The MENU button enables you to choose a certain number of different programmes. The time corresponding to the programme is displayed. Every time you press the , The number on the display panel switches to the next programme from 1-14 1 2 3 4 > > > > basic white bread French bread wholemeal bread sweet bread 5 6 7 8 > > > > fast bread gluten-free bread salt-free bread bread rich in omega 3 9> 10 > 11 > 12 > damper 13 > leavened dough cake (pizza for example) jams and compots 14 > cooking only pasta 1. The Basic Bread programme is used to make most bread recipes using white wheat flour. 2. The French Bread programme corresponds to a traditional French crusty white bread recipe. 3. Wholemeal Programme is used to make wholemeal bread using wholemeal flour. 4. The Wholemeal Bread programme should be selected when using wholemeal bread flour. 5. The Fast Bread programme is specifically for the FAST bread recipe. The weight and browning settings are not available in this programme. 6. Gluten-free bread is to be made exclusively from gluten-free ready-made mixes. It is suitable for persons with celiac disease, making them intolerant of the gluten present in many cereals (wheat, rye, barley, oats, Kamut, spelt wheat etc.). Refer to the specific recommendations on the packet. The trough must always be thoroughly cleaned to avoid any risk of contamination with other flours. In the case of a strictly gluten-free diet, take care that the yeast used is also gluten-free. The consistency of gluten-free flours does not yield an ideal dough. The dough sticks to the sides and must be scraped down with a flexible plastic spatula during kneading. Gluten-free bread will be of a denser consistency and paler than normal bread. 7. Bread is one of greatest contributors to our daily salt intake. Reducing salt consumption can help reduce the risks of cardio-vascular problems. 8. This bread is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, thanks to a complete and nutritionally balanced recipe. Omega 3 fatty acids contribute to the proper function of the cardiovascular system. 9. The damper is based on a traditional Australian recipe, cooked on hot stones. It produces a compact, slightly brioche-like bread. 10. Can be used to make pastries and cakes with baking powder. 11. The Jams programme automatically cooks jams and compots (stewed fruits) in the pan. 12. Programme 12 only kneads. It is for unleavened pasta, like noodles for example. 13. The Leavened Dough programme does not bake. It is a kneading and rising programme for all leavened doughs such as pizza dough, rolls, sweet buns. 16 14. The cooking programme is limited to 10 to 70 min. only, adjustable in steps of 10 min, with light medium or dark browning. It can be selected alone and used: a) with the Leavened Dough programme, b) to reheat cooked and cooled breads or to make them crusty, c) to finish cooking in case of a prolonged electricity cut during a bread baking cycle. The breadmaker should not be left unattended when using programme 14. To interrupt the cycle before it is finished, the programme can be stopped manually by holding down the button . SELECTING THE WEIGHT OF THE BREAD The bread weight is set by default at 1000 g. This weight is shown for informational purposes. See the recipes for more details. Programmes 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 do not have weight settings. Press the button to set the chosen product ­ 750 g, 1000 g or 1500 g. The indicator light against the selected setting comes on. Attention : certain recipes cannot be used to make a 750-g loaf. Refer to the recipe book. SELECTING THE COLOUR OF THE CRUST (BROWNING) By default, the colour of the crust is set at MEDIUM. Programmes 5, 9, 11 do not have a colour setting. Three choices are possible: LIGHT/MEDIUM/DARK. If you want to change the default setting, press the button until the indicator light facing the desired setting comes on. START/STOP Press the button to switch the appliance on. The countdown begins. To stop the programme or to cancel delayed programming, hold down on the button for 5 seconds. CYCLES On pages 22-23 is a table showing the steps in the various cycles according to the chosen programme. KNEADING For forming the dough's structure so that it can rise better. > REST Allows the dough to rest to improve kneading quality. > RISING Time during which the yeast works to let the bread rise and to develop its aroma. > BAKING Transforms the dough into bread and gives it a golden, crusty crust. > WARMING Keeps the bread warm after baking. It is recommende that the bread should be turned out promptly after baking, however. KNEADING: the dough is in the 1st or 2nd kneading cycle or in a stirring period between rising cycles. During this cycle, and for programmes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 you can add ingredients: dried fruit or nuts, olives, bacon pieces, etc. A beep indicates when you can intervene. See the summary table for preparation times (page 22-23) and the "extra" column. This column indicates the time that will be displayed on your appliance's screen when the beep sounds. For more precise information on how long before the beep sounds, subtract the "extra" column time from the total baking time. For example: "extra" = 2:51 and "total time" = 3:13, the ingredients can be added after 22 min. RISING: cycle. the dough is in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd rising BAKING: the bread is in the final baking cycle. The word "end" lights to indicate the end of the cycle. WARMING: for programmes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, you can leave your preparation in the appliance. A one-hour warming cycle automatically follows baking. The indicator lights. The display remains at 0:00 for one hour of warming. The appliance beeps at regular intervals. At the end of the cycle, it stops automatically after 3 beeps. To stop the warming programme, unplug the appliance. 17 DELAYED START PROGRAMME You can programme the appliance up to start 15 hours in advance to have your preparation ready at the time you want. This function cannot be used on programmes 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. This step comes after selecting the programme, browning level and weight. The programme time is displayed. Calculate the time difference between the moment when you start the programme and the time at which you want your preparation to be ready. The machine automatically includes the duration of the programme cycles. Using the and buttons, display the calculated time ( up and down). Short presses change the time by intervals of 10 min + a short beep. Holding the button down gives continuous scrolling of 10-min intervals. For example, it is 8 pm and you want your bread to be ready for 7 am the next morning. Programme 11:00 using the and buttons. Press the button. A beep is emitted. The facing indicator light switches on and the timer colon blinks. The countdown begins. The ON light switches on. If you make a mistake or want to change the time setting, hold down the button until it makes a beep. The default time is displayed. Start the operation again. With the delayed start programme do not use recipes which contain fresh milk, eggs, soured cream, yoghurt, cheese or fresh fruit as they could spoil or stale overnight. PRACTICAL ADVICE If there is a power cut: if, during the cycle, the programme is interrupted by a power cut or mishandling, the machine has a 7-min protection time during which the settings are saved. The cycle starts again where it stopped. Beyond that time, the settings are lost. If you plan to run a second programme bake a second loaf, open the lid and wait 1 hour before beginning the second preparation. To turn out your loaf of bread: it may happen that the kneading paddles remain stuck in the loaf when it is turned out. In this case, use the hook accessory as follows: > once the loaf is turned out, lay it on its side while still hot and hold it down with one hand, wearing an oven glove, > with the other hand, insert the hook 1 in the axis of the kneading paddle (drawing 1), > pull gently to re ...
