Operating Instructions
Basic Bread Making Steps:
Making bread with the DL-4705 is a simple three-step process:
- Add Ingredients: Follow your recipe and add ingredients to the bread pan in the recommended order (typically liquids first, then dry ingredients, with yeast added last, often in a separate compartment or on top of the dry ingredients). For recipes requiring additional fruits or nuts, place them in the automatic dispenser.
- Select Program: Close the lid. Use the control panel to select your desired program (e.g., Basic, Whole Wheat, French, Sweet, Dough, Cake). Adjust settings like loaf size and crust color if available for the selected program.
- Start Baking: Press the Start/Stop button to begin the program. The bread maker will automatically mix, knead, rise, and bake. The automatic yeast and fruit dispensers will release their contents at the appropriate times.
Using the Automatic Yeast and Fruit Dispenser:
The DL-4705 features an independent automatic dispenser for yeast and another for fruits/nuts. Fill these compartments with the required ingredients at the beginning of the process. The machine will automatically dispense them at the optimal time during the kneading cycle, ensuring perfect results without manual intervention.
Crust Color Selection:
The bread maker offers options for different crust colors, allowing you to customize your bread's texture and appearance:
- Light Burning Color: Results in a soft crust.
- Burning Color (or 'P' setting): Produces a sweet-tasting crust.
- Deep Burning Color: Achieves a crisp crust.
Using the 15-Hour Delay Timer (Reservation):
Plan your baking up to 15 hours in advance to wake up to fresh bread or have it ready for dinner.
- Add all ingredients to the bread pan and dispensers as usual.
- Select your desired program, loaf size, and crust color.
- Press the 'Delay' or 'Timer' button and use the +/- buttons to set the desired delay time (e.g., 9 hours for bread ready at 7:00 AM if you set it at 10:00 PM).
- Press Start/Stop. The timer will count down, and the bread maker will automatically start and finish baking at the set time.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your bread maker.
- Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Bread Pan and Kneading Blade: Remove the bread pan and kneading blade. Wash them with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Automatic Dispensers: Clean the yeast and fruit dispensers after each use to prevent residue buildup. Use a small brush if necessary to remove any stuck ingredients.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the bread maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
- Interior: Gently wipe the interior of the baking chamber with a damp cloth to remove any crumbs or spills.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling and storing the bread maker in a cool, dry place.
