Recipe Book:

INGREDIENTS TO USE

Dry yeast

Dry yeast becomes active when the appropriate amounts of water and sugar are added at a suitable temperature, and the carbon dioxide it produces is what causes bread to rise. Dry yeast is alive, so it should be used before the manufacturer’s recommended best-by date and stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container after opening the package. The condition of dry yeast will greatly affect baking results.

Bread flour

It is a type of flour made by grinding hard flour, and it contains a large amount of protein. For making bread, use high-protein bread flour rather than all-purpose flour.

When water is added to flour and the dough is kneaded, gluten is formed from the protein in the flour. Gluten is both gluey and elastic. Gluten works to trap the carbon dioxide bubbles produced during fermentation in the dough. This makes it a very important component in breads made with yeast.

Whole wheat flour

It is ground from the entire wheat kernel, and it can be used to make hearty and nutritious bread.

All-purpose flour

It is a blend of refined wheat flour.

Gluten-free flour

It can be made by grinding various ingredients that lack gluten, such as brown rice and potato starch.

Vital wheat gluten

It is a powdered additive useful for improving the elasticity of flours low in protein, such as whole wheat flour. It helps bread rise.

Sugar

Helps yeast ferment, improves color and flavor, and keeps bread soft. The recipes in the Recipe Book use granulated sugar. Do not substitute granulated sugar with powdered sugar, brown sugar, or other artificial sweeteners unless indicated.

Salt

Adds flavor and stabilizes the gluten in the dough. It also keeps the dough from fermenting too much.

Butter

It makes bread soft and glossy. Measure and cut it into small pieces. The recipes in the Recipe Book use unsalted butter.

Dairy products

Such as milk and dry milk, improve flavor, and keep bread soft.

Eggs

Adds richness and velvety texture to bread dough. The recipes in the Recipe Book use large-size eggs.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the Power Plug and allow the Main Body and Baking Pan to cool before cleaning.

Important

Clean the product after every use.
Do not splash the product or immerse it in water. Doing so may cause an electric shock or malfunction.
Do not use the following:

Detergents other than mild kitchen detergent, such as thinner, benzene, and bleach. Doing so may cause discoloration, cracks, degradation, or corrosion.

Polishing powder, nylon brushes, scrub brushes, anything made with metal, eraser pads, hard nylon sponges, and abrasive cleaners. Doing so may cause corrosion.

When using chemically treated cloths, do not rub too hard or leave them on the product for a long time, as the surface of the product may become damaged from chemical reactions.
Do not use a dishwasher or a dish-dryer.

Main Body and Lid

Wipe with a well-wrung soft cloth.

Remove or wipe off breadcrumbs or any other debris remaining inside the Main Body as quickly as possible.

Baking Pan

Fill the Baking Pan with room temperature or warm water to soften the dough stuck to the Rotating Shaft and Kneading Blades.

Do not leave water inside the Baking Pan for too long or immerse the Baking Pan in water. (Doing so may cause corrosion or cause the Kneading Blades to cease turning.)

Dispose of the water and remove the Kneading Blades.

If a Kneading Blade is difficult to remove, hold the Coupling Wing Nut under the Baking Pan and pull the Kneading Blade while rotating it in both directions.

Use a mild kitchen detergent and a soft sponge.

Do not use hard nylon sponges or brushes to clean the Baking Pan.

Do not immerse the bottom of the Baking Pan containing the Coupling Wing Nuts in water. (Doing so may cause corrosion or malfunction.) Wipe the Coupling Wing Nuts with a well-wrung soft cloth.

Use a soft sponge to carefully remove baked crumbs stuck to the Rotating Shaft. Make sure not to damage the seal.

Kneading Blade

Use a mild kitchen detergent and soft sponge to wash the Kneading Blades.

Do not use hard nylon sponges or brushes to clean the Kneading Blades.
If the hole is clogged, soak it in room temperature or warm water, and remove the debris with a bamboo skewer or similar utensil.
Be sure to attach the Kneading Blades to the Baking Pan after every cleaning so you will not lose them.

The Power Plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
The first cycle on most courses is REST, which stabilizes the temperature of the ingredients. The motor does not operate during the REST cycle. This does not indicate a malfunction.
The motor makes noises during the kneading cycle. This does not indicate a malfunction.
The Baking Pan is not installed securely. Install securely.
Was the power supply discontinued for more than about 5 minutes during operation due to a power failure? –+ Start from the beginning with new ingredients.
If the power supply is interrupted for about 5 minutes or less during operation due to a power failure, the actual completion time will be delayed. (The product will automatically resume operation after recovery from a power failure, although the baking results may not be satisfactory.) If you open the Lid during operation, the operation will be interrupted, and the completion time may be delayed.
