Introduction:
The aroma of homemade bread wafting around the home is one of those great smells. Bread, fresh from the oven, with melting butter is a memorable taste sensation. The Mellerware Ma Baker breadmaker can create that experience every morning. There’s very little effort on the part of the baker, because the breadmaker is a sophisticated appliance that does all the work for you.
It’s as simple as one-two-three.
• Put in the ingredients.
• Select the program from the menu and press start.
• Wait for your bread.
But don’t stop at baking bread in this appliance. Besides being able to do all kinds of speciality breads, including whole wheat, you can also prepare doughs for bread rolls, pizza, cake and there is also a setting for jam. Everything is easy and tastes homemade - because it is.
Before first use:
Please take a few minutes to read this instruction manual and to find a place to keep it safe for future reference. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions.
• Carefully unpack the breadmaker and remove all the packaging materials.
• Remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging.
• Wipe the baking pan, kneading blade and the outside surface of the bread maker with a clean, damp cloth. The bread pan has a non-stick coating. Do not use any abrasive materials to clean any part of the breadmaker.
• Before first use, use oil, butter or margarine to grease the bread pan and bake empty for about 10 minutes
(select the Extrabake program).
• Clean once more.
• Place the kneading blade on the shaft in the baking pan. During the manufacturing process it is necessary to lightly grease some parts of the appliance.
This may result in the unit emitting some vapour when first used, this is normal.
Electrical requirements:
• Check that the voltage on the rating label of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PLUGED INTO AN EARTHED WALL
SOCKET.
About this breadmaker:
• It has two settings to make a small
680g (1.5lb) or large 907g (2lb) loaf
(approx. weight - depends on recipe).
• A Fruit and Nut “beep” signals when extra ingredients can be added so they do not get chopped by the kneading blade.
• The “small loaf“ setting (1.5lb) can be used to make a 500g loaf for some of the recipes.
About the recipes:
The recipes in this booklet have been thoroughly tested to ensure the best results. These recipes have been created by home economists specifically for this appliance and may not produce favourable results in other similar machines.
•Always add ingredients in the order
they are listed in the recipe.
• Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital, do not use larger amounts.

Program descriptions:
• Basic white (3:00 and 2:53)
For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with herbs or raisins.
• French (3:50 and 3:40)
For the baking of light weight bread such as french bread which has a
crispier crust and a light texture.
• Whole wheat (3:40 and 3:32)
For the baking of bread containing
significant amounts of whole wheat.
This setting has a longer pre-heat time to allow the grain to soak up the water and expand. It is not advised to use the time delay function as this will produce poor results.
• Quick (1:40)
For white bread that is required in a shorter time. Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a more dense texture.
• Sweet (2:55 and 2:50)
For baking of sweet breads which gives a crispier crust than on a basic setting.
The crispier crust is produced by the sugar ‘burning’.
• Fastbake I (0:58)
For preparation of a 680g white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture will be moist.
• Fastbake II (0:58)
For preparation of a 970g white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture will be moist.
• Dough (1:30)
This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the final product. Remove the dough and shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not exceed
1kg of combined ingredients.
• Jam (1:20)
Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits and to make marmalade from Seville oranges. Do not increase the quantity or allow the ingredients to boil over the pan into the baking chamber. Should this happen, stop the machine immediately. Remove the pan carefully, allow to cool and then clean thoroughly.
• Cake (2:50)
This setting will mix ingredients and then bake for a preset time. Ingredients should be mixed in a separate bowl before adding to the breadmaker (see cake recipes).
• Sandwich (3:00 and 2:55)
This preset will bake a light textured bread with a soft and thick crust.
• Extra bake (1:00)
This setting is a bake only setting and can be used to increase the baking time on selected settings. This is useful to help ‘set’ jams and marmalade.
Once you have started the “Extrabake” process it is advisable that you check the condition of the bread or jam at
10 minute intervals. When selecting the “Extrabake” preset straight after another program and H:HH is displayed, open the lid and allow to cool for 10 minutes. When cool, replace the baking pan and its contents, set the
“Extrabake“ program and then press the “Start/Stop“ button.
Using your breadmaker:
• Removing the pan:
Open the lid and remove the baking pan by lifting the handle, turning anticlock-wise and lifting it out. Place it on a stable work surface. It is important that the baking pan is filled with ingredients outside the machine so that any accidental spillage is not ignited by the heating element.
• Attach the blade:
Attach the kneading blade to the shaft by pushing down on the blade.
26500_IM.indd 6 2012/11/26 02:34:17 PM
• Measure ingredients:
Measure the ingredients required and add them all into the pan in the order listed in the recipe. When adding the yeast to the baking pan, make sure that the yeast does not come into contact with the water or any other liquid, as it will start to activate immediately. Use lukewarm water (21-28 0 C).
• Replacing the pan:
Place the baking pan back into the breadmaker, turning clockwise to lock into place. Close the lid.
process,the appliance will “beep” to inform you that fruits and/or nuts may now be added.
• It is normal for steam to escape through the vents during the baking process.
• Finish:
Once the selected baking programme has been completed and the bread is baked the display will show 0:00 and the appliance will “beep” to inform you.
• Plug in:
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The breadmaker will automatically be set to the basic bread menu and normal time.
Everytime you press a button you will hear a “beep” to confirm.
• Select the program:
Choose the desired setting from the list by pressing the “Menu” button.
• Keep warm:
The “keep warm” function will circulate hot air around the bread pan for a further 60 minutes. For the best results, remove the baking pan and loaf within this time period or when the initial program has been completed. The appliance will “beep” 10 times to signal the end of the “keep warm“ function.
• Select the weight:
Press the “loaf size” button to choose between a small or large loaf size.
• Select the colour:
Choose the desired crust colour by pressing the “colour button”.
• Remove the food:
Press the “Start/Stop” button, remove the plug from the wall socket and then open the lid.
WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing the baking pan (taking care as it is very hot).
• Select the time delay:
If you wish the bread to be ready at a later time, set the time delay now.
• Start:
Press the “Start/Stop” button to start the appliance. The remaining time will count down in one minute intervals.
• Progress:
The breadmaker will automatically proceed through the selected program. If you have selected a baking program that has a second kneading
• Removing the bread:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for
15 minutes, then turn the pan upside down and tap the bottom of the bread pan and remove the bread. Place the bread onto a rack to cool. Immediately fill the pan with warm water to prevent the kneading blade from sticking to the shaft. Occasionally the kneading blade will stay in the loaf. Wait until the loaf has cooled down and then remove the kneading blade with a wooden or plastic utensil to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
26500_IM.indd 7 2012/11/26 02:34:17 PM
• Always unplug the appliance after use.
Do not open the lid while the breadmaker is in operation as this will affect the quality of the bread, especially its ability to rise properly. Only open the lid when the recipe instructs you to add additional ingredients or once it has completed baking.
• Room temperature note:
The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of temperatures, but there could be a difference in the loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room. We recommend the room temperature should be between 15 0 C and 34 0 C.
Using the timer:
Use the timer when you want the bread to be ready at a later time, or in the morning. A maximum time delay of 13 hours can be set. Do not use this function with recipes that use perishable ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese.
• Decide when you want the bread to be ready and calculate the difference in time. For example, if you want a loaf at
8am, and it is now 7.30pm, the difference is 12 1/2 hours.
• Enter this time by pressing the Time
and Time buttons. The arrows will move the time up or down in 10 minute increments. After you have pressed the
“Start/Stop” button, the colon (:) will flash. If you have selected the wrong time, press the “Start/Stop” button for
2 seconds. The timer will go back to the preset time, then repeat the above
2 steps again.
• The “time delay” function is able to delay the start time for a maximum of 13 hours. After the selected time delay has elapsed the breadmaker will start with the selected bread making process.
Beeper:
The beeper sounds:
• When pressing any button.
• During the second kneading cycle on certain programs to indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or any other ingredients can now be added.
• When the selected program finishes.
• When “Keep warm” program finishes.
Power interruption:
After a brief power supply failure:
• In the event of a brief power failure, or if the appliance is switched off for a short time span and on condition that the baking process was stopped before it has started to bake, the process may be restarted by pressing the “Start/
Stop” button. This will allow the appliance to continue the baking process.
• If it has gone beyond this point, the process must be started from the very beginning. The ingredients will have to be discarded and you will have to start again with fresh ingredients.
Slicing and storing bread:
• For the best results place the freshly baked bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
• Using an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated blade, slice the bread in even slices.
• Store the unused bread in an air tight plastic container and store at room temperature for up to three days. If the weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator overnight.
• For longer storage (up to one month), place the bread in an air tight plastic container in the freezer. If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out
26500_IM.indd 8 2012/11/26 02:34:17 PM
• and bring it to room temperature before serving.
• Since homemade bread has no preservatives it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially produced bread.
• Left-over stale bread can be cut into cubes and used in your favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding or stuffing.
• Be sure the appliance has completely
cooled and is clean before storing
away.
Do not use any of these when clean-
ing:
• Paint thinner
• Benzine
• Steel wool pads
• Polishing powder
• Chemical dust cloth
Care and cleaning:
• Interior: Use a damp cloth to wipe the interior of the breadmaker once it has cooled down completely.
• Special care must be taken when clean-
• Caution: To prevent electric shock, make sure the appliance is unplugged before undertaking any cleaning task.
• Wait until the breadmaker has cooled
• IMPORTANT: Do not immerse either the body or the lid of this appliance in water or any liquid as this may cause damage and/or electric shock. ing the parts of this appliance that has a non-stick coating.
• To avoid damaging the non-stick coating, do not use metal utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks in the baking pan.
• The non-stick coating may change colour after long term use, this is caused by moisture and steam and will not affect the performance of the appliance
• Exterior: Wipe the lid and outer body of the appliance with a damp cloth.
or the quality of the baked product.
• The hole in the centre of the kneading blade should be cleaned. Then add a drop of cooking oil and replace it on the shaft in the baking pan. This will prevent the blade from sticking.
• Keep all the air vents and openings clear of dust.
Storing the unit:
• Baking pan:
Clean the baking pan with warm water, soap is not necessary. Avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Dry it thoroughly before placing it back into the baking chamber. Do not wash the baking pan, measuring cup, spoon or kneading blades in the dishwasher. Do not soak the baking pan for long periods of time, as this could interfere with the movement of the drive shaft. If the kneading blade becomes stuck in the bread pan, pour hot water over it and allow it to soak for 30 minutes. This will enable you to remove the kneading blade more easily.
All the parts of this appliance must be clean and dry before storing. This includes wiping away any moisture from the viewing window. Close the lid and do not store anything on top of the lid.

Know your ingredients:
Understanding baking:
It is often said that cooking is an art relying on the creativity of the chef while baking bread is more of a science. This means that the process of combining flour, water and yeast results in a reaction that produces bread. You have to remember that when the ingredients combine with each other they produce a specific result. Read the following information carefully to gain a better understanding of the importance each ingredient plays in the bread making process.
Important note on flours:
• Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour:
Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour is
milled from the entire wheat kernel
which contains the bran and germ and
makes it heavier and richer in nutrients
when compared to white flour. Breads
made with this flour are usually smaller
and heavier than white loaves. To over
come this whole wheat flour/wholemeal
flour can be mixed with Bread flour or
strong plain flour to produce a high
light textured bread.
• Self-raising flour:
Self-raising flour contains unnecessary
leavening ingredients that will interfere
with bread and cake making. It is not
recommended for use.
Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different by virtue of how they are grown, milled, stored, etc.
You may find that you will have to experiment with different brands of flour to help you make that perfect loaf. Storage is also very important. All types of flour should be kept in an airtight container.
• Bran:
Bran (unprocessed) and Wheat Germ
are the coarse outer portions of the
wheat or rye grains separated from
flour by sifting or bolting. They are often
added in small quantities to bread for
nutritional enrichment, heartiness and
flavour. They are also used to enhance
the texture of bread.
• All purpose flour/plain flour:
All purpose flour is a blend of refined
hard and soft wheat flours specially
suited for making cakes. This type of
flour should be used for the recipes in
the “cake/quick bread section”.
• Oatmeal:
Oatmeal comes from rolled or steel-cut
oats. They are used primarily to en-
hance flavour and texture.
Other ingredients:
• Strong white flour/bread flour:
Bread flour is a high gluten/protein flour
that has been treated with condition-
ers that give dough a greater suitability
for kneading. Bread flour typically has
a higher gluten concentration than all
types of all purpose flour however,
depending on different milling
practices, this may vary. Strong plain
flour or bread flour are recommended
for use with this breadmaker.
• Yeasts (active dry yeast)
Yeast through a fermentation process
produces gas (carbon dioxide) neces-
sary to make the bread rise. The yeast
must be able to feed on the sugar
and flour’s carbohydrates in order to
produce this gas. Fast action granular
yeast is used in all recipes that call for
yeast. There are basically three different
types of yeast available, fresh, tradi-
tional dry active and fast action. It is
recommended that fast action yeast be
26500_IM.indd 10 2012/11/26 02:34:17 PM
used. Fresh or compressed cake
yeast is not recommended as they will
produce poor results. Store yeast ac -
cording to manufacturers instructions.
Ensure your yeast is fresh by check-
ing its expiration date. Once a packet
of yeast is opened it is important that
the remaining contents be immediately
resealed and refrigerated as soon as
possible for future use. Often bread or
dough, which fails to rise, is due to
stale yeast being used. The following
test can be used to determine whether
your yeast is stale and inactive:
• Place half a cup of lukewarm water into a small bowl or cup.
• Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the surface.
• Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow it to sit for 10 minutes undisturbed.
• The mixture should foam and produce a strong yeast aroma. If this does not occur, discard mixture and start again with another packet of dried yeast.
• Sugar:
Sugar is important for the colour and
flavour of breads. It is also food for
the yeast as it is part of the fermentation
process. Artificial sweeteners cannot be
used as a substitute for sugar as the
yeast will not react properly with it.
• Salt:
Salt is necessary to balance the flavour
of breads and cakes, and also for the
colour of the crust that develops during
baking. Salt also limits the growth of
yeast. The amounts shown in the reci-
pes should not be increased. For di-
etary reasons it may be reduced, how
ever, your baking may suffer.
• Liquids/milk:
Liquids such as milk or a combination
of powdered milk and water, can
be used when making bread. Milk will
improve the flavour, provide a velvety
texture and soften the crust, while water
alone will produce a crispier crust.
Some recipes call for juice (orange,
apple, etc) to be added as a flavour
enhancer. Note: For most recipes we
suggest the use of dry skimmed milk.
• Eggs:
Eggs add richness and a velvety texture
to bread doughs and cakes.
• Sunflower oil:
‘Shortens’ or tenderises the texture of
yeast breads. Butter or margarine can
be used as a substitute. If butter or
margarine is used directley from the
refrigerator it should be softened for
easier blending during the mixing cycle.
• Baking powder:
Baking powder is a raising agent used
in cakes. This type of raising agent
does not require rising time before bak-
ing as the chemical reaction works
when liquid ingredients are added.
• Bicarbonate of soda:
Bicarbonate of soda is another raising
agent not to be confused or substi-
tuted for baking powder. It also does
not require rising time before baking as
the chemical reaction works during the
baking process.
Measuring ingredients:
The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately. It is extremely important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. The ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe.

The ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe.
Liquid and dry measurements are done
26500_IM.indd 12 2012/11/26 02:34:17 PM
somewhat differently and are as follows:
• Liquid measurements:
The measuring cup must be placed on
a horizontal flat surface and viewed at
eye level (not at an angle) when read-
ing amounts. The liquid level line must
be aligned to the measurement mark. A
‘guesstimate’ is not good enough as it
could throw out the critical balance of
the recipe.
• Dry measurements:
Dry measurements (especially flours)
must be done using the measuring cup
provided. The measuring cup is based
on the American standard 8 fluid oz
cup, British cup is 10 fluid oz. Dry
measuring must be done by gently
spooning ingredients into the measu-
ring cup and then once filled, levelling
off with a knife. Scooping or tapping the
measuring cup will pack the ingredients
and you will end up with more than is
required. This extra amount could affect
the balance of the recipe. Do not sift the
flour, unless stated.
When measuring small amounts of dry
or liquid ingredients (ie. yeast, sugar,
salt, powdered milk, honey, molasses)
the measuring spoon which is provided
must be used. Measurements must be
level, not heaped as this small differ-
ence could throw out the critical bala-
nce of the recipe.
Ingredient temperatures:
All ingredients, including this appliance, its baking pan, and especially liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to room temperature 21°C (70°F). If ingredients are too cold, below 10°C (50°F), they will not activate the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above 40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast.
Creating your own yeast breads:
With this appliance, even the most inexperienced baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a loaf of bread.
All of the mystery and hard work is gone.
The electronic brain inside this sophisticated appliance will ensure that dough is mixed, kneaded, proofed and baked without you being present. The breadmaker can also prepare dough, and when it is ready, all you have to do is shape it, allow it to rise and then bake in a conventional oven. The recipes on the following pages are ‘tailored’ for this breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients that best compliment a particular type of bread, and each recipe has been tested in this appliance. It is extremely important to not exceed the amounts of ingredients specified in each of the recipes because it can result in unsatisfactory baking performance. When creating your own yeast bread recipes or baking an old favourite, use the recipes in this instruction manual for converting portions from your recipe so that it will suit your breadmaker.
This appliance produces delicious
baked goods with ease. The appliance
only requires that you carefully follow
the recipe’s instructions. In basic cook-
ing, normally ‘a pinch of this and a dash
of that’ is fine, but not for this appliance.
Using an automatic breadmaker
requires that you accurately measure
each ingredient for the best results.

Special glazes for yeast breads:
Give your just baked bread a professional finish. Select one of the following special glazes to enhance your bread.
• Egg glaze:
Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of
water together, brush generously.
Note: apply to the dough before bak-
ing.
• Melted butter crust:
Brush melted butter over just baked
bread for a softer crust.
• Milk glaze:
For a softer, shiny crust, brush just
baked bread with milk or cream.
• Sweet icing glaze:
Mix 1 cup of sifted icing sugar with 1 to
2 tablespoons of milk to make a glaze
consistency and then drizzle over raisin
bread or sweet breads.
• Poppy/Sesame/Caraway seed/Oatmeal:
Sprinkle your choice of these seeds
generously over just glazed bread.
Other tips: flour if consistency is not right. For high altitude areas, decrease yeast amount by approximately 1/4 teaspoon, and decrease sugar and/or water or milk slightly.
• The “DOUGH” setting is great for mixing, kneading and proofing (allowing dough to rise) richer dough like croissant doughs. Use the automatic breadmaker to prepare this dough so that all you need to do is shape and bake it according to your recipe.
• When recipes call for a ‘lightly floured surface’, use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour on the surface. You may want to lightly flour your fingers or rolling pin for easy dough manipulation. When allowing dough to ‘rest’ and ‘rise’ according to a recipe, place it in a warm, draft-free area. If the dough does not double in size, it may not produce a satisfactory product.
• If the dough you are rolling shrinks, cover it and let it rest for a few minutes before rolling again.
• Dough may be placed in a plastic container and stored in a freezer for later use. Bring the dough to room temperature before using.
• After 5 minutes of kneading, open the lid and check the dough consistency.
The dough should form a soft, smooth ball. If too dry, add liquid. If too wet, add flour (1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time).
• Place all the recipe ingredients into the baking pan so that the yeast is not touching any liquid. After completing the process of making dough in your breadmaker. let the dough rise outside the breadmaker, allow 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size. Dough should be lightly greased and covered with grease proof paper and a dry towel. It should be placed in a warm area free from drafts.
• Humidity can cause problems, therefore humidity and high altitudes require adjustments. For high humidity areas, add an extra tablespoon of

Recipes
All of the following recipes use this same general method:
1 Measure ingredients into baking pan.
2 Use tepid water 21-28ºC.
3 Insert baking pan securely into unit, close lid.
4 Select appropriate bread setting.
5 Push start button.
6 When bread is done, remove pan from unit using oven mitts.
7 Remove bread from baking pan, (and kneading blade from bread if necessary).
8 Allow to cool before slicing.

Gluten Free Breads:
We understand the importance of a staple food such as bread in a gluten intolerant individuals diet. Realising that there are breadmakers on the market that do not deliver a suitable Gluten Free loaf, our objective, with the advanced technology of the Ma-Baker, was to develop recipe’s that produced a real result. So all you have to do is simply add the ingredients, press a button and leave the rest up to the Ma-baker. Baking a successful Gluten
Free loaf takes practice and a better understanding of the different ingredients.
In order to help you along the path to a perfect Gluten Free loaf we have included some handy hints and ingredient information that you should read before attempting to bake your Gluten Free loaf.
Handy Hints:
• For optimum results carefully follow the
instructions for each recipe.
• All the Gluten Free breads can be
frozen and will keep well.
• To ensure that all the ingredients
have combined sufficiently, you may
need to assist the kneading process.
When baking your first few loaves you
should inspect the dough texture ap-
proximately 5 minutes into the knead-
ing process. If there is any unmixed
dry ingredients use a plastic spatula
and scrape down the sides of the bak-
ing pan, and mix in the same direction
as the kneading blade is rotating.
• Do not use the “time delay” setting
when making Gluten Free bread as
some ingredients are perishable and
may spoil.
• Allow the bread to cool completely
before slicing.
• It is normal for Gluten Free bread to be
heavy and slightly dense in texture.
These breads should be at least 10-
12cm in height and rich in flavour.
• For a lighter loaf you may reduce the salt
26500_IM.indd 19 2012/11/26 02:34:20 PM
quantity to 1/2 teaspoon.
• For best results weigh and measure ingredients accurately.
• Use metric measures for all dry ingre-
dients.
• When using vinegar never use malt
vinegar.
• Remove the baking pan from the
baking chamber immediately after
the bake cycle is completed. Never
leave in for the “Keep Warm” cycle.
• Leave bread in the baking pan
for approximately 7 minutes before
removing onto a cooling rack.
Flours:
• A blend of flours will give a better result
and assist in browning.
• When using only rice flour you will
get a pale crust on top, regardless
of the cooking time.
• Both fine and course white rice flour
works well.
• If using rice flour only you find your
bread will go stale quicker when com-
pared to using a blend of flours. The
addition of oil will help keep the bread
fresh for longer.
Consistency:
• The dough should resemble a thick
cake mix. Check 10-15 minutes into the
kneading cycle and if the consistency is
too thick add a little water - 1 tbsp at a
time.
• Environmental factors can have a
large effect on the consistency of the
dough. A change in atmospheric condi-
tions can affect the reaction of the
yeast. For example if baking bread on a
wet, humid day, you may need to
reduce the water by 10-20ml’s to
achieve the desired consistency for the
dough.
Method:
1.Place ingredients into bread pan in the
order listed. Wipe spills from the out-
side of the pan.
2.Place the bread pan into the breadmak-
er and close the lid.
3.Select the white bread setting from the
menu.
4.Select a Dark crust colour.
5. Select a 900g Loaf size and press
the “START/STOP” button.
Bread will be baked in the number of
hours indicated.

Questions about general performance and operation:
Question 1:
What should I do if the kneading blade comes out with the bread?
Remove it with a pair of plastic tongs before slicing the bread. Since the blade can be disconnected from the pan, it is not a malfunction if it comes out in your bread.
Question 2:
Why does my bread sometimes have some flour on the side crust?
In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the corners of the baking pan. When this happens, it usually can be eaten or simply trim off that portion of the outer crust with a sharp knife.
Question 3:
Why isn’t the dough mixing? I can hear the motor running.
The kneading blade or baking pan may not be inserted properly. Make sure the pan is facing the right way and that it has
‘clicked’ and seated into the bottom of the breadmaker.
Question 4:
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined earlier.
Question 5:
Why can’t I use the timer when baking with fresh milk?
The milk will spoil if left sitting in the machine too long. Fresh ingredients such as eggs and milk should never be used with the delayed timer feature.
26500_IM.indd 21 2012/11/26 02:34:21 PM
Question 6:
Why do I have to add the ingredients in a certain order?
This allows the breadmaker to mix the ingredients in the most efficient manner possible. It also serves to keep the yeast from combining with the liquid before the dough is started to mix, which is essential on the time delay.
Question 7:
When setting the timer for morning, why does the machine make sounds late at night?
The machine must start operation when the time delay reaches the start time of the program so that the bread will be ready. These sounds are made by the motor when kneading the dough. It is a normal operation, not a malfunction.
Question 8:
The kneading blade is stuck in the bread pan. After baking how do I get it out?
The kneading blade may ‘stick’ in place after baking. Running warm or hot water over the blade should loosen it enough to be removed. If still stuck, soak in hot water for about 30 minutes.
Question 9:
Can I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be washed by hand.
Question 10:
What will happen if I leave the finished bread in the baking pan?
Whilst still in the breadmaker for the first hour after baking is complete the bread
’keeps warm’ to prevent it becoming
‘soggy’.
Leaving the bread in the breadmaker after the keep warm period may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of bread as excess steam
(moisture) would not be able to escape.
Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack after baking to prevent this.
Question 11:
Why did the dough only partially mix?
Why didn’t it mix completely?
The dough may be too heavy or dry.
Also, the kneading blade or baking pan may not be inserted properly. Ingredients may have been added in the wrong order.
Question 12:
Why didn’t the bread rise?
The yeast could be bad, past it’s sell by date or possibly no yeast was added at all. Also, if the mixing was not complete, rising problems could develop.
Question 13:
Why can’t the delayed finish be set for more than 13 hours? What is the minimum time a cycle may be delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 13 hours including the total cycle time. For example, Setting 1(basic small) has a cycle time of 3:20. This start is delayed by a maximum of 9:40. The minimum length of delay for each setting is 10 minutes.
The delay clock increases and decreases in increments of 10 minutes.
Questions about ingredients and recipes:
Question 14:
How do I know when to add raisins, nuts, etc. to the bread?
There is a beeper tone to signal that you may add raisins, nuts, etc. during the second kneading cycle.
Note: See ‘Baking cycle times’ chart for
26500_IM.indd 22 2012/11/26 02:34:21 PM
‘Add nuts & raisins’ time.
In some cases, ingredients can be broken up during the initial kneading cycle.
Each recipe indicates the best time to add fruit and nuts to the dough.
Question 15:
How come my bread comes out too moist? What can I do?
Humidity may affect the dough. Add an extra tablespoon of flour. Also, high altitude may have the same effect. Decrease the amount of yeast by 1/4 teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk slightly.
Question 19:
Is it important for ingredients to be at room temperature before adding them to the baking pan?
Yes, even when the delay timer is being used. (Water must be between 21°C and
28°C).
Question 16:
Why do I get air bubbles at the top of the bread?
Question 20:
Why do the loaves vary in height and weight? The whole wheat/wholemeal breads are always shorter. Am I doing something wrong?
This can be caused by using too much yeast. Decrease the yeast by 1/4 tsp.
yeast, sugar, salt, and oil/butter/margarine to use. We advise creating your own bread recipes using the basic mode, then progress to the others, using the baking cycle times chart as a guide.
Question 17:
Why does my bread rise and then collapse or crater?
The bread may be rising too much. To reduce the rate of rising, reduce the amount of yeast and/or increase the amount of salt.
No, it is normal for Whole Wheat and
Wholemeal breads to be shorter and denser than Basic or French breads.
Whole Wheat and Wholemeal flour are heavier than white bread flour, therefore they don’t rise as much during the bread making process. This is also true for bread containing fruit, nuts, oats and bran.
Question 21:
Can I premix the yeast with water?
Question 18:
Can I use my favourite bread recipes
(traditional yeast bread) in my bread machine?
The yeast must be kept dry and put into the baking pan last, above the flour. this is especially important when the delay timer is being used.
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion of ingredients.
Become familiar with the unit and make several loaves of bread before you begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of 5 cups dry ingredients (that includes the total amount of flour, oats, oatmeal, bran). Use the recipes in this book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and amounts of
Question 22:
Why is there a large hole in the base of the bread?
This hole has been created by the kneading blade. Sometimes this hole is larger than normal. This is because the dough has rested to the side of the blade after the second kneading cycle - normal with bread makers. You could position the dough evenly in the base of the pan.
