OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BREAD MAKER

BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BREAD MAKING

Before using the bread maker for the first time, remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet.

Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Wash the inside of the bread pan with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the outside of the bread pan in water as this may interfere with the free movement of the wing-nut and drive shaft. Submerge and wash only the interior of the bread pan.

Wash the collapsible paddle and fixed paddle with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Remove the Bread Pan

Place the bread maker on a flat, dry surface such as a bench top. Ensure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet.
Lift open the lid and remove the bread pan from the interior baking chamber by holding the handle and lifting straight up.

NOTE
Always remove the bread pan from the baking chamber before inserting the paddle and ingredients. This ensures that ingredients are not spilled onto the heating element and drive mechanism inside the baking chamber.

Insert the Collapsible or Fixed Paddle

Select the appropriate paddle. Refer to ‘Know your Breville the Bread Maker, page 10.
- The collapsible paddle is for use with all bread and dough settings.
- The fixed paddle is for use with the jam setting.
Ensure there is no baked-on residue on the drive shaft inside the bread pan or in any of the paddle crevices, including the ‘D’ shaped hole and hinge area.
Align the ‘D’ shaped hole on the paddle with the ‘D’ shape on the drive shaft inside the bread pan. Push down firmly. The paddle should rotate freely around the drive shaft. The paddle must be properly assembled onto the drive shaft to ensure ingredients are mixed and kneaded properly.
If using the collapsible paddle, ensure it is inserted in the upright position for thorough mixing during the ‘knead 1’ phase. The collapsible paddle will automatically collapse into the flat position then return to the upright position during the appropriate times in the ‘knead 2’, ‘rise’, and ‘punch-down’ phases, then collapse before the ‘bake’ phase begins to minimize the hole at the bottom of the baked loaf.

Add ingredients to the Bread Pan

If using the collapsible paddle, ensure it is securely inserted and in the upright position.
Before adding ingredients to the bread pan, ensure they are:
- Fresh. In particular, fresh flour and yeast are critical. al.
- Check the ‘Best Before Date’ stamped on the package. For tips on checking the freshness of your yeast, refer to “Yeast’, page 46.
- Measured and weighed accurately. Refer to ‘Tips for Better Bread Making – Measuring and Weighing Ingredients’, page 39. In particular, it is very important to spoon or scoop the dry ingredients loosely into the measuring cup then level the top of the cup by sweeping the excess with the back of a knife or spoon handle. NEVER scoop the cup into the flour bag, tap the cup or pack ingredients into the cup as this extra amount can affect the critical balance of the recipe.
- At room temperature 68°F-77°F (20°C-25°C), except all liquids which should be 80°F (27°C) unless stated otherwise. Temperatures too cool or too warm can prevent the yeast from activating and affect the way the bread rises and bakes.
Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe to ensure the dough mixes thoroughly and rises sufficiently. Wipe any spilled ingredients from the rim and outside of the pan and ensure it is clean and dry.
- Liquid ingredients
- Fats
- Dry ingredients, eg, salt, sugar, flour
- Yeast I

Return the Bread Pan to the Baking Chamber

Align the wing-nut on the underside of the bread pan with the drive mechanism in the interior baking chamber of the stainless steel housing. You may need to turn the wing-nut slightly if you have difficulty aligning it onto the drive mechanism. Push down firmly until the bread pan is securely in The bread pan must be properly assembled onto the drive mechanism to ensure the paddle operates correctly.
Lower the lid. It is not recommended to lift the lid during operation unless stated in the recipe, to check the consistency of the dough during the ‘knead’ phase, or to glaze and add seeds to the top of the loaf during the ‘bake’ phase. Refer to ‘Using the Pause Feature’, page 31.

Load the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser (Optional)

The Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser releases fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, seeds, or other suitably sized ingredients into the dough at exactly the right time during the ‘knead’ phase. If added before this time, excessive kneading will cause the ingredients to break down rather than maintain their shape within the dough.

Ensure the bread pan is in the baking chamber.
Lift open the lid of the main stainless steel housing. The base of the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser can be identified by the row of steam vents. Push in the base until it clicks into place. Close the main stainless steel housing lid.
Lift open the lid of the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser, then add a maximum of ¾ cup of dry ingredients. Always remember:
- Ingredients should be suitably sized so they do not fall through the steam vents at the base of the dispenser. We recommend separating ingredients that may stick together, such as raisins and other fruits, before adding.
- Liquids should not be added to the dispenser.
- Glace (glazed) fruits such as cherries, ginger, pineapple, and bottled or canned ingredients such as olives and sun dried tomatoes etc. should be washed and thoroughly dried on a kitchen paper towel before adding them into the dispenser.
- It is recommended that the dispenser be cleaned thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth after each use.
The Fruit and Nut Dispenser will automatically release its contents on the BASIC, BASIC RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID, GLUTEN FREE, CRUSTY LOAF, SWEET, YEAST FREE, and all DOUGH settings. You may notice the base of the dispenser flip open during the bread-making cycle even when it is empty. This is normal. It is the dispenser automatically releasing ingredients 8 minutes before the end of the ‘knead 2’ phase, regardless of whether it has been loaded.

TIP

If ingredients exceed the maximum ¾ cup capacity of the dispenser, lift open the lid and add ingredients manually when the ‘add-in’ alert sounds 8 minutes before the end of the ‘knead 2’ phase. Ensure the BEEPER button has not been muted and the sound alerts are on – there should be no / symbol on the LCD screen. Do not press and hold the CANCEL button to add ingredients, as this will cancel the entire cycle.

Plug in the Power Cord

Unwind the power cord completely and insert the power plug into a grounded power outlet.
An alert will sound and the LCD screen will illuminate. The function options will appear with an indicator on the preset BASIC setting.

Select the Setting

Turn the SELECT push-dial until the indicator on the LCD screen reaches the desired setting. Press the push-dial to select.
If you accidentally press the wrong setting, press the CANCEL button to return to the main menu and make your selection again.

CARE & CLEANING

Ensure the bread maker is turned OFF by pressing and holding the CANCEL button. The bread maker is OFF when the START || PAUSE button surround is no longer red. Remove the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the bread maker and all accessories to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Housing

Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing and the LCD screen with a soft, damp cloth. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid the build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the outer surface or LCD screen, before cleaning. Do not use a dry paper towel or cloth to clean the LCD screen, or use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad to clean any part of the bread maker, as these will scratch the surface.
If over-spills such as flour, nuts, raisins etc. occur in the interior baking chamber, carefully remove them using a soft, damp cloth. Use extreme caution when cleaning the heating elements. Ensure the bread maker is completely cool then gently rub a soft, damp sponge or cloth along the length of the heating element. Do not use any type of cleanser or cleaning agent.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before inserting the power plug into a power outlet.

Cleaning the Lid

For thorough cleaning, the lid can be removed from the stainless steel housing. Lift open the lid completely. Holding the sides of the lid, lift straight upwards. The lid should detach from the hinge. To replace the lid, align the pivot pins on the lid with the pivot points on the hinge. Wipe the lid, viewing window, and Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser with a soft, damp sponge. A glass cleaner or mild detergent may be used. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad, as these will scratch the surface.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before inserting the power plug into a power outlet.

Cleaning the Bread Pan

Half fill the bread pan with warm, soapy water. An abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Allow to stand for 10-20 minutes. NOTE: Do not immerse the outside of the bread pan in water, as this may interfere with the free movement of the wing-nut and drive shaft. Submerge and wash only the interior of the bread pan.
Remove the paddle and wash the inside of the bread pan with a soft cloth. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad, as these will scratch the non-stick coating. Ensure there is no baked-on residue or dough on the drive shaft. Rinse thoroughly.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before inserting them into the stainless steel housing.

NOTE:

Some discoloration may appear on and inside the bread pan over time. This is a natural effect caused by moisture and steam and will not affect the bread in any way.
The inside of the bread pan is coated with a high quality non-stick coating. As with any non-stick coated surface, do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads or metal utensils to clean these items as they may damage the finish.
Never wash the bread pan in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Paddle

Wash the collapsible paddle and fixed paddle with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Ensure there is no baked-on residue in any of the paddle crevices, including the ‘D’ shaped hole and hinge area. If there is, soak the paddle in warm, soapy water. Non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Allow to stand for 10-20 minutes. Use a wooden toothpick, a thin wooden skewer, or a plastic cleaning brush to remove any bread residue from the crevices and hinge area. Failure to clean the hinge area may eventually result in the collapsible paddle not working effectively. Rinse thoroughly.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before inserting into the bread pan.

NOTE: We do not recommend washing the paddles in the dishwasher. To extend the life of the non-stick coating, always wash in warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads, or metal utensils to clean the paddle, as these items may damage the paddle surface.

Storage

Ensure the bread maker is turned OFF by pressing and holding the CANCEL button. The bread maker is OFF when the START | PAUSE button surround is no longer red. Remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Ensure the bread maker and all accessories are completely cool, clean, and dry.
Place the bread pan and paddles into the interior baking chamber.
Ensure the lid is closed.
Store the appliance in an upright position, standing level on its support legs. Do not store anything on top.

Troubleshooting

Can other bread recipes be made in this machine?

Results may vary when using other recipes as the recipes in this booklet are sized so that the dough is kneaded properly and the finished bread does not exceed the bread pan capacity. Use only recipes with similar quantities of ingredients. As a general guide, a minimum 2 cups and maximum 4.5 cups of total dry ingredients is recommended on the bread settings. On the jam setting, as a general guide, a maximum 3 cups of fruit should be used.

Can powdered products be used in place of fresh products and vice versa?

Yes, egg powders, dried buttermilk or dry milk can be used. These products allow you to use the Delay Start feature, however always ensure to add the water to the bread pan first, then add the dried substitution after the flour to keep them separate.
Similarly, fresh milk and eggs can be substituted for dry milk and egg powders, but the baked bread will have a heavier texture. If you still choose to use fresh milk, ensure to decrease the same measurement of liquid to equal the fresh milk and omit the milk powder. Do not use the Delay Start feature with perishable ingredients.

Can butter or margarine be used in place of oil?

Yes, but the bread crumb may appear a more creamy, yellow color.

Can other sweetening agents be used in place of sugar?

Yes, honey, golden syrup, or brown sugar can be used. When substituting honey or similar sweet liquids for sugar, ensure to decrease the same measurement of liquid to equal the liquid sugar substitute. We do not recommend powdered or liquid artificial sweeteners.

Can salt be omitted?

Salt plays a very important part in bread making. Omitting it will decrease water retention in the dough, as well as affect mixing, the strength of the gluten development and the fermentation of the yeast. In the finished bread, salt improves the loaf shape, crumb structure and crust color, as well as extending shelf life and enhancing flavor.

Can I use home-ground or home-milled flour?

Depending on the coarseness of the flour, results may not be satisfactory. For best results, we recommend using a blend of bread flour and home-milled flour. Ensure not to grind the flour too coarse, as it may damage the bread pan coating.

Why do the ingredients need to be placed in the bread pan in the specified order?

To ensure all dry ingredients are mixed with the water and to avoid the yeast activating prematurely with the water, salt or sugar when using the Delay Start feature.

A power outage has occurred. What can I do?

If the power is accidentally turned off for 60 minutes or less during operation, the Power Failure Protection will automatically resume the cycle where it was interrupted when power is restored.

If the CANCEL button was accidentally pressed during the ‘knead’ phase, what can I do?

Reselect the bread setting and allow dough to re-knead and continue through the rising and baking process. The result may be a loaf higher in volume and lighter in texture.

If the CANCEL button was accidentally pressed during the ‘rise’ phase, what can I do?

Turn the bread maker off. Leave the dough inside the baking chamber with the lid closed. Allow the dough to rise until it almost to the top of the pan. Turn the bread maker on. Select the BAKE ONLY setting, set the required baking temperature and time, then press the START | PAUSE button to activate the cycle.
