• Program 14: Bake - For additional baking of bread that is too light or not baked through. No kneading or rising occurs in this program.
• Program 15: Homemade - Allows customization of time for each phase (kneading, rising, baking, keeping warm).

COLOR

Select Light, Medium, or Dark crust. Menus 1-4 also offer a Rapid bread option with no crust color choice. The default crust color is Medium, but not available for Rapid bread in Menus 1-4.

WEIGHT

Menus 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 do not allow weight selection. For other menus, there are 3 weight modes: 1000g, 1250g, and 1500g. The default is 1250g. The weight function is available on Menus 1-8.

Delay Function (TIME+, TIME-)

Use this function if you do not want the bread maker to work immediately. The longest delay time is 15 hours.

1. Select the menu and color.
2. Press the TIME button to adjust the displayed time. Pressing it once increases or decreases the delay time by 10 minutes. Menus 9, 11, 12, 13 do not have this function.
3. Pressing the TIME button continuously will cycle through time settings. The set time includes program time and delay time. Pressing the TIME button for over 1 second will increase the time quickly. The symbol "<" indicates DELAY TIME.

Example: To have bread ready at 7:00 AM, if it's currently 8:30 PM, set the delay for 10 hours and 30 minutes. Select menu, color, and loaf size, then use "<" or ">" to set the time to 10:30. Press START/STOP to activate. The indicator will light up, and the LCD will count down.

Note: For time-delayed baking, avoid perishable ingredients like eggs, fresh milk, fruits, or onions.

The delay time shown on LCD = time you want to complete - current time.

Keep Warm Function

The bread can be kept warm for 1 hour after baking. The LCD will show "0:00". During this time, the symbol "▶" indicates KEEP WARM until the 60-minute keep warm time is complete.

Environment

Suggest the room temperature should be between 15°C to 34°C for optimal use. Temperatures too high may cause the bread ferment to turn acidic, while temperatures too low may affect bread rising.

Memory

If the power supply is interrupted during bread making, the process will continue automatically within 10-15 minutes without pressing START/STOP. If the interruption exceeds 10-15 minutes, the memory is lost. Discard ingredients and restart. If the dough has not entered the rising phase, you can press START/STOP to continue from the beginning.

Warning Display

• "HHH": Indicates the temperature inside the bread pan is too high. Press START/STOP to stop the program, unplug the power cord, open the lid, and let the machine cool down completely for 10-20 minutes before restarting.

5. Close the lid and plug in the appliance.
6. Press the MENU button until the desired program is displayed.
7. Press the CRUST button to select Light, Medium, or Dark crust.
8. Press the WEIGHT button to select the desired weight.
9. If desired, set the DELAY TIMER using the + and – buttons. You can skip this if making bread immediately.
10. Press START/STOP to begin. If setting crust color and weight, press again to confirm and activate the program. The symbol "▶" indicates progress, the colon flashes, and the time counts down.
11. Note: To stop the program, press START/STOP for 3 seconds.
12. For add-ins (fruits, nuts, raisins), the machine will beep ten times, and "▶" indicates to ADD. Open the lid and pour add-ins. The bread maker will rework. Add nuts later to preserve flavor.
13. Note: The ADD function is available for menus Base, Quick, Sweet, French, Whole Wheat, Rice, and Gluten Free.
14. When "0:00" is displayed and 10 beeps are heard, the program is complete. Press START/STOP for 3 seconds to turn off the bread maker.
15. Note: If START/STOP is not pressed, the program will keep warm automatically for 1 hour. To stop this, press START/STOP for 3 seconds.
16. Open the lid, wear oven mitts, hold the panhandle firmly, and lift upward.
17. Note: Exercise extreme caution; the bread pan and bread are hot.
18. Using oven mitts, turn the bread pan upside down onto a cooling rack or clean surface and gently shake until the bread falls out. Use a non-metal spatula to scrape the sides of the bread pan if needed.
19. Note: If the kneading blade remains in the bread, use the hook to gently pry it out; do not use your hand to avoid scalding.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Disconnect the machine from the power outlet and let it cool down before cleaning.
2. Bread Pan: Wipe inside and outside with a damp cloth. Do not use sharp or abrasive agents to protect the non-stick coating. Dry completely before installation.
3. If the kneading blade is difficult to remove, add warm water to soak for 30 minutes, then remove and clean with a wet rag.
4. Top Lid: Allow to cool. Wipe the lid and interior of the viewing window with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5. Note: It is suggested not to disassemble the lid for cleaning.
6. Housing: Gently wipe the outer surface with a wet cloth, then a dry cloth. Never use petrol or other liquids. Never immerse the housing in water.
7. Before storing, ensure the bread maker is completely cooled, clean, dry, and the lid is closed.

Ingredients Introduction

1. Bread Flour: Most important ingredient for yeast-bread recipes. High gluten content keeps bread size stable. Gluten content varies by region.
2. All-Purpose Flour: Suitable for "quick" bread or bread made with Quick settings. Bread flour is better for yeast bread.
3. Whole-Wheat Flour: Ground from the entire wheat kernel. Higher fiber and nutritional content. Heavier, resulting in smaller loaves with a denser texture. Combines well with Bread Flour for best results.
4. Black Wheat Flour (Rye Flour): High-fiber flour, similar to whole-wheat. Requires a high proportion of bread flour for good rising.
5. Self-rising flour: Contains baking powder, used for cakes. Do not use with yeast.
6. Corn flour and oatmeal flour: Used as additives for rough bread, enhancing flavor and texture.
7. Sugar: "Food" for yeast, increases sweetness and color, aids rising. White sugar is common; brown, powdered, or cotton sugar may be used.
8. Yeast: A living organism; keep refrigerated. Needs carbohydrates from sugar and flour. Available as bread machine yeast, active dry yeast, and instant yeast. Produces carbon dioxide during yeasting, expanding bread and softening fiber. (1 tbsp dry yeast = 3 tsp dry yeast = 15ml yeast)
9. Tip: Check yeast freshness by mixing warm water (45-50°C) with sugar, then adding yeast. If it bubbles/grows after 10 minutes, it's active.
10. Salt: Improves bread flavor and crust color. Restrains yeast activity. Too much salt can result in smaller bread.
11. Egg: Improves bread texture, making it more nourishing and larger. Whisk with other liquid ingredients.
12. Grease, Butter and Vegetable Oil: Grease softens bread and delays spoilage. Melt butter or chop into small pieces before adding.
13. Baking Powder: Used for raising Ultra Fast bread and cake. Produces air for a softer texture.
14. Baking Soda: Similar to baking powder, can be used in combination.
15. Water and Other Liquids (always add first): Essential for bread making. Water should be at room temperature (20°C-25°C). Some recipes may call for milk or other liquids to enhance flavor. Never use dairy with the Delay Timer option.

Use Exact Measurement

TIPS: Proper measurement is crucial for good bread. Measure each ingredient carefully and add to the bread pan in the specified order. Using a measuring cup or teaspoon is recommended for accuracy.

Adding Sequence

Always add ingredients in the order given in the recipe:

• FIRST: Liquid ingredients
• SECOND: Dry ingredients
• LAST: Yeast (place on dry flour, avoid contact with liquid or salt)

When using the Delay Timer for a long period, avoid perishable ingredients like eggs or milk.

After the first kneading, a beep will sound. Add fruit ingredients then. Adding them too early may diminish flavor.

Liquid Ingredients

Measure liquids with measuring cups with clear markings and a spout. Place the cup on a counter and check the liquid level at eye level. For measuring oil or other ingredients, clean the cup thoroughly.

Dry Measurements

Measure dry ingredients by gently spooning them into the measuring cup and leveling off with a knife. Do not tap the cup or pack down the contents. Stir flour to aerate it before measuring. Use a measuring teaspoon for small amounts like salt or sugar, ensuring it is leveled.

Measuring cup: "CUP" means a full cup (240ML).

Measuring Tsp: Includes tea Tsp and table Tsp.

Tea Tsp (Tsp): Used for yeast and salt.

Table Tsp (Tbsp): Used for sugar and oil.

Hook: Used to pull out the kneading blade from the bread.
