Be sure to use an oven-cloth or suitable gloves when removing the bread. Make sure to touch only the lid handle when opening the unit. [. . . ] With a shortened rising phase, the loaves will turn out slightly smaller and firmer than usual. Please keep in mind that warm water must be used. Best results are generally achieved with a water temperature of around 48-50°C. We recommend using a suitable food thermometer. With the temperature too low, the bread may not rise sufficiently strongly; too high a temperature will cause the yeast contained in the dough to rise too early, again leading to an unsatisfactory baking result. In the programmes STANDARD, WHITE BREAD, WHOLEMEAL, CAKES WITH YEAST, CAKE and SANDWICH, you may add such ingredients as wheat germ, sunflower seeds, herbs, caraway seeds, ground pepper, ground nuts, muesli, hominy grits, finely cut bacon cubes etc. An acoustic signal indicates when the most suitable time for adding these ingredients has been reached. The table below shows the most suitable times as ‘•’. Programme running time Acoustic signal during programme Menu 9 JAM, MARMALADE Menu 12 BAKING 2:53 3:00 60 min.

USING THE BREAD-MAKER Your new bread-maker allows you to: – bake breads to various recipes, some of which can be found in the appendix to this manual. However, this bread-maker also allows you to use commercially available ready-to-bake mixtures with up to 500g of solid ingredients (for a loaf of up to 1000g). € Only recipes with a flour content of 200 – 550g should be used with this bread-maker. Should the flour content fall short of this minimum, thorough kneading of the dough cannot be ensured. Excessive flour content may result in the dough rising over the edge of the baking-tin. BEFORE FIRST USE – Remove the baking-tin by turning it anti-clockwise. € Fit the kneading hook into its socket inside the baking-tin and fill the tin with around125ml of water. € Replace the baking-tin in the unit and turn it clockwise to lock it. Make sure that it locks firmly into place. € Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket. – Use the button to select programme 12 (BAKING). [. . . ] Sugar assists the yeast as a rising agent, and tends to make the crust darker and thicker. Salt gives a firmer texture to the dough and slows the rising process down. When adding additional ingredients of a liquid nature to a recipe, make sure that the quantity of 29 liquid given in the recipe is reduced accordingly. This applies, for instance, when eggs, fresh cheese or yoghurt are used. [. . . ]
