Baking bread

PREPARATION

Observe the safety instructions in this manual. Place the bread machine on an even and firm base.

1. Pull the baking pan upward out of the appliance.
2. Push the kneading paddles onto the drive shafts in the baking pan. Make sure they are firmly in place.
3. Put the ingredients for your recipe in the stated order into the baking pan. First add the liquids, sugar and salt, then the flour, adding the yeast as the last ingredient.
   • NOTE: Make certain that yeast does not come into contact with salt or liquids. The maximum quantities of the flour and yeast which may be used refer to the recipe.
4. Place the baking pan back in the appliance. Make sure that it is positioned properly.
5. Close the appliance lid.
6. Plug the power plug into the socket. An acoustic signal sounds and the display indicates the program number and the duration of the normal program 1.
7. Select your program with the menu button. Each input is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
8. Select the color of your bread. The marking on the display shows whether you have chosen light, medium or dark. You can also select the setting “Rapid” to
   shorten the baking time.
   • NOTE: For programs 9,10,11,12,13 or 14, the function “browning degree” is not available. And “Rapid” function is possible only for program 1,2,3 and 4.
9. You now have the possibility of setting the finish time of your program via the timer function. You can enter a maximum delay of up to 15 hours.
   • NOTE: This delayed function is not available for programs 9,11,13,14 or 15.

STARTING A PROGRAM

• Now start the program using the Start/Stop button. The program will automatically run various operations. You can watch the program sequence via the window of your bread-baking machine. Occasionally, condensation may occur during baking in the window. The appliance lid can be opened during kneading.
  • Note: Do not open the appliance lid during baking. The bread can collapse.
  • Tip: After 5 minutes of kneading, check the consistency of the dough. It should be a soft, sticky lump. If it is too dry, add some liquid to it. If it is too moist, add some flour (1/2 to 1 teaspoon one or more times, as needed).

ENDING A PROGRAM

• When the baking process has been completed, ten acoustic signals are issued and the display indicates 0:00. At the end of the program, the appliance automatically changes to a warming mode for up to 60 minutes. In this mode, warm air circulates inside the appliance. You can prematurely terminate the warming function by keeping the Start/Stop button pressed until two acoustic signals are heard. The “keep warm” phase does not apply to programs 9,10,11,12,13 or 14.

NOTE: Do not use any metal objects that may lead to scratches on the non-stick coating. After removing the bread, immediately rinse the baking pan with warm water. This prevents the kneading paddles from sticking to the driving shaft.

Tip: If you remove the kneading paddles after the last kneading of the dough, the bread will remain intact when you remove it from the baking pan.

1. Briefly press the Start/Stop button, to interrupt the baking process or pull the power plug out of the wall socket.
2. Open the appliance lid and take out the baking pan. You can take the dough out with floured hands and remove the kneading paddles.
3. Replace the dough and close the appliance lid.
4. Push the plug back into the wall socket and press the Start/Stop button. The baking program is continued. Let the bread cool for 15-30 minutes before eating.
   Before cutting bread, make sure that no kneading paddle is still in the baking pan.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• WARNING: Pull the power plug out of the wall socket each time and allow the appliance to cool down. Protect the appliance against splashing water and moisture, as these could lead to an electric shock. Please also observe the safety instructions.
• IMPORTANT: The parts and accessories of the appliance should not be washed in a dishwashing machine.

Casing, lid, baking chamber

Remove all particles left behind inside the baking area using a wet cloth or a slightly wet soft sponge. Wipe the casing and the lid too with a wet cloth or sponge. Make sure that the inside area is fully dry. For easy cleaning, the appliance lid can be removed from the housing:

1. Open the appliance lid to a suitable angle and lift up to remove it.
2. Pull the appliance lid out of the hinge guides.
3. To attach the appliance lid, pass the wedge-shaped hinge tappets through the opening in the hinge guides.

Baking pans and kneading paddles

• The surfaces of the baking pans and kneading paddles have a nonstick coating. While cleaning, do not use any abrasive detergents, cleaning powders or objects that may cause scratches on the surface. Due to moisture and vapor the surface of various parts may undergo changes in their appearance over a period of time. This does not affect the quality or functional performance of the appliance. Before cleaning, take the baking pans and kneading paddles out of the baking area. Wipe the outside of the baking pans with a damp cloth.
• IMPORTANT: Never immerse the baking pans in water or other liquids. Clean the interior of the baking pans with warm, soapy water. If the kneading paddles are incrusted and hard to release, fill the baking pan with hot water for approx. 30 minutes. If the retainer in the kneading paddle is clogged, you can clean it carefully with a wooden skewer. Do not use any chemical cleaning agents or thinners to clean the bread maker.
