WARNING MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY

1. If the display shows "H:HH" and a beep is heard when starting the program, it means the temperature inside the bread maker is too high. This can happen if you try to bake another loaf in a warm bread maker. Open the lid A2 and let the bread maker cool down for 10-20 minutes. The bread maker can be used again after cooling down.
2. If the display shows "L:LL" and a beep is heard when starting the program, it means the temperature inside the bread maker is too low. Open the lid A2 and let the bread maker warm up in a warm place. The ambient temperature should be between 15 and 34°C.
3. If the display shows "EEO" or "EE1", contact the service center.

Adjustable Programs and Their Durations

1 - BASIC (basic bread)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking. It can be used for baking white bread made with traditional flour, and you can also mix in various flavorings (e.g., spices).

2 - WHOLE WHEAT (whole wheat bread)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking. Whole wheat flour must be used for this program. Note: It is not recommended to use the delayed baking function for this program, as the bread may not be of satisfactory quality.

3 - FRENCH (French bread)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking, but the rising time is longer than for the basic bread program. It is suitable for baking lighter bread with a crispier crust, and it is recommended to consume this bread on the day it is baked.

4 - QUICK (quick baking)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking. It is a faster version of the BASIC program. However, the bread will be denser and heavier than with the BASIC program.

5 - SWEET (sweet bread)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking. It is suitable for baking sweet breads, which contain fat and sugar in the dough. You can add dried fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, candied fruits, etc. to the dough.

6 - CAKE (cake)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking. It is used for making cakes and pastries that require baking powder or baking soda.

7 - JAM (jam)

This program can be used to make jams and preserves. Cook only small batches of jam, as the volume increases during cooking. Jam is sticky, and if it spills into the appliance, it can be difficult to remove.

8 - DOUGH (dough)

This program can be used to prepare doughs for baking, such as pizza, rolls, or croissants. The program kneads and rises the dough but does not bake it.

9 - ULTRA-FAST (very fast)

This program features the shortest possible kneading, rising, and baking times. This program generally results in a denser and heavier bread than the 4 (QUICK) program. The water temperature is crucial for this program. For rising, the temperature of the added water (or other liquid, e.g., milk) should be 48-50°C.

10 - SANDWICH (sandwich bread)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking. It is used to bake light sandwich bread with a thin crust.

11 - GLUTEN-FREE (gluten-free bread)

This program includes kneading, rising, and baking. The rising occurs in a single phase, and due to higher moisture content, the baking takes longer.

12 - BAKE (baking)

This program only bakes and can be used as a small oven. The baking time can be set from 10 to 60 minutes. This program can be used to bake semi-finished bread (store-bought) or to further bake already baked bread if you want a thicker and darker crust.

Before First Use

1. Remove the bread maker and its accessories from the packaging, and remove all packaging materials, labels, and promotional stickers. Remove the sticker from the bottom of the baking pan A4!
2. Wash all accessories that come into direct contact with ingredients in soapy water. Rinse the accessories with clean water and dry them (or wipe them dry).
3. Place the baking pan A4 with the kneading paddle A3 into the appliance. Connect the bread maker to the wall socket, then set program 12: BAKE, and switch on the bread maker for 10 minutes. After the program finishes, cancel the keep warm function, unplug the power cord from the wall socket, and wait for the appliance to cool down completely. Wash the baking pan A4 and the kneading paddle A3 again.

Note: A slight smoky smell may emanate from the appliance after its first use. This is normal.

4. The bread maker is now ready for use.

Using the Bread Maker

Place the bread maker on a horizontal, smooth, and dry surface (e.g., the kitchen countertop).

• Open the lid A2 and remove the baking pan A4. Slide the kneading paddle A3 onto the shaft located at the bottom of the baking pan A4 (push the kneading paddle down until it stops). Note: To make it easier to remove the kneading paddle A3 from the finished bread, lightly grease the kneading paddle A3 and the shaft with cooking oil.
• Measure the ingredients according to the recipe and pour them into the baking pan A4 in the following order: First, add liquid ingredients such as water, milk, beer, yogurt, buttermilk, eggs, etc. Then, add dry ingredients such as flour, salt, sugar, spices, oats, seeds, etc. Add salt to one corner, sugar to another, and spices to a third. Finally, make a small well in the top of the flour and add the yeast. If using fresh yeast, add sugar to the yeast. Yeast or baking powder must not come into contact with liquids before the program starts. For heavier and denser breads (containing a large amount of rye flour), we recommend the reverse order: first add the yeast to the baking pan, then the dry ingredients, and finally the liquid. In this case, yeast or baking powder must not come into contact with liquids before the program starts. Follow the order for all recipes. The baked bread is affected by the ambient temperature of the bread maker. The ambient temperature should be between 15 and 34°C.
• Place the baking pan A4 with the ingredients into the appliance and push it down until it stops. Close the lid A2, then connect the power cord to the wall socket. After connecting to the power outlet, the display B1 will turn on, showing the default settings for program 1: program duration 3:10, bread size 3 lb (1360 g), and medium crust baking level. Note: If no button is pressed for 20 seconds, the background lighting of the B1 display will turn off.
• Select the program using the MENU button B2. Set the crust baking level using the COLOR button B3, and the bread size using the LOAF button B6. For some programs, it is not possible to set the crust baking level or bread size.
• If you wish to delay the bread making, set the readiness time using the B4 and B7 buttons.
• To start the bread maker, press the START/STOP button B5. The colons in the time display on the B1 display will start flashing, and the program will start. The bread maker automatically switches through the individual phases of the set program. Steam will escape from the ventilation openings during baking.
• For the following programs: 1 (BASIC), 2 (WHOLE WHEAT), 3 (FRENCH), 4 (QUICK), 5 (SWEET), 6 (CAKE), 10 (SANDWICH), and 11 (GLUTEN FREE), a beep indicates the time when additional ingredients (e.g., seeds) can be added to the dough. If you open the lid A2 during program execution, be careful, as hot steam may escape from the appliance during baking.
• The program completion is indicated by a beep. After the program finishes, the appliance automatically switches to the keep warm mode and keeps the bread warm for 60 minutes. If you do not wish to use the keep warm function, press and hold the START/STOP B5 button.
• After the program finishes, open the lid A2. Lift the lid of the baking pan A4 and remove the baking pan A4 from the bread maker. Handle the baking pan by its handle only when wearing oven mitts. Place the baking pan A4 on a heat-resistant mat and wait for about 10 minutes. Then, turn the baking pan A4 upside down; the bread will slide out of the pan. If the bread does not slide out, try moving the shaft slightly. Remove the kneading paddle A3 from the bread using the hook A9.
• After finishing your work, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket, and clean the appliance and accessories as described in the cleaning and maintenance section.

Bread Slicing and Storage

• Before slicing, wait 20-40 minutes for the bread to cool down sufficiently.
• You can slice the bread into even pieces using an electric knife or a serrated bread knife.
• Store any uneaten bread in a plastic bag. Bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• If you wish to store the bread for a longer period (e.g., 1 month), wrap it in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer.
• Bread baked at home does not contain preservatives (like store-bought bread), so it can only be stored for a shorter period.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Before starting cleaning, switch off the appliance and wait for it to cool down completely.
• If you cannot remove the kneading paddle A3 from the shaft of the baking pan, fill the baking pan A4 with warm water and leave it for 30 minutes. The kneading paddle A3 can then be removed and cleaned. Wipe the kneading paddle with a damp cloth and then dry it.
• Wipe the inside of the baking pan A4 thoroughly, and the outside only if necessary, with a damp cloth. To protect the non-stick surface of the baking pan, do not use abrasive or sharp tools, or cleaning agents containing scouring agents. Dry the baking pan A4 completely (or wipe it dry) before using it again. Tip: After cleaning, lightly grease the kneading paddle A3 and its hole with cooking oil.
• Wipe the inside of the lid A2 thoroughly, and the outside only if necessary, with a damp cloth. Then, wipe it completely dry. Warning: Brown spots may appear on the inside of lid A2 and near the ventilation openings. This is due to residual ingredients in the condensed steam. This discoloration does not affect the use of the bread maker or the quality of the bread. The spots can be removed with a damp cloth. After prolonged use, the inner surface of the baking pan A4 may also change color. However, this does not affect the use of the bread maker or the quality of the bread.
• Do not immerse the bread maker in water or other liquids, or wash it under running water.
• Before storing, let the bread maker cool down, clean and dry it, and then close the lid A2.

Bread Making

Description of the most commonly used ingredients for bread making.

1) Bread Flour

Bread flour has a high gluten content and does not lose volume after rising and baking. The baked bread holds its shape well. Bread flour contains a lot of gluten and protein. Due to its higher gluten content compared to regular flour, larger loaves can be baked with bread flour. Bread flour is a primary ingredient for bread making.

2) Regular Flour

Regular flour can be of different grind sizes; in our case, regular flour is made from so-called "soft" wheat. All-purpose flour can be used for baking bread and sweet breads.

3) Whole Wheat Flour

Whole wheat flour is made by grinding wheat grains and contains wheat bran and gluten. Whole wheat flour is heavier and denser than regular all-purpose flour. Bread made with whole wheat flour is usually smaller and denser. Therefore, recipes containing whole wheat flour usually recommend adding regular all-purpose flour or bread flour as well.

4) Rye Flour

Rye flour is typically used for baking brown bread. Rye flour is high in minerals. Rye flour has a low gluten content, so it should be combined with wheat flour.

5) Corn and Oat Flour

Flours ground from corn and oats. These flours are added in smaller quantities to the bread to improve its texture and flavor.

6) Sugar

Sugar is a nutrient for yeast, gives the bread a sweet taste, and helps the bread to brown. Sugar supports the rising process.

7) Yeast

Yeast is responsible for the rising of the dough; the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast makes the inside of the bread light and airy.

• 1 teaspoon fresh yeast = 3/4 teaspoon dried yeast.
• 1.5 teaspoons fresh yeast = 1 teaspoon dried yeast.
• 2 teaspoons fresh yeast = 1.5 teaspoons dried yeast.

Yeast should be stored in the refrigerator, as yeast deteriorates (becomes unusable) at higher temperatures. Use fresh yeast whenever possible and check the expiration date. Repackage any remaining yeast and return it to the refrigerator.

8) Salt

Salt adds flavor to the bread and also affects the color of the bread crust. However, salt slows down the rising process.

Tips: You can determine if the yeast is fresh and active using the following procedure:

1. Fill a cup halfway with warm water: 45-50°C.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the water and dissolve it, then add 2 teaspoons of yeast to the water.
3. Place the cup in a warm place for about 10 minutes. Do not stir the water.
4. If a large amount of foam appears in the cup, the yeast is good. If not, the yeast is not good (cannot be used for bread making).

9) Eggs

Eggs improve the texture of the bread, making it more nutritious and delicious. Mix the eggs in a cup before adding them to the baking pan.

10) Fat, Butter, Vegetable Oils

Fat makes the bread more tender and extends its shelf life. Warm the butter to room temperature or chop it into small pieces so that the machine can mix it evenly into the dough.

11) Baking Powder

Baking powder is used for quick breads or sweet pastries (e.g., for Ultra Fast bread). Baking powder does not require rising; the gas produced by baking powder inflates the dough and improves its texture.

12) Baking Soda

The same applies as for baking powder. It can be used instead of baking powder for baking doughs.

13) Water and Other Liquids

Water is a primary ingredient for bread making. Generally, water at a temperature of 20-25°C should be used. However, for quick programs, the water temperature should be higher (48-50°C), as this ensures proper dough rising. Water can also be replaced with milk, or 2% milk powder can be added to the water (improves the aroma and color of the bread).

Flours can vary significantly; their quality and usage depend on the growing region, variety, grind, etc. Therefore, expect to bake different breads from different flours. We recommend trying different brands and types of flours and mixing them. Involve your family members in the experimentation, and bake with the flour that everyone likes best next time.

RECIPE TIPS

• The quantities in the following recipes are for guidance only; you can also make changes. The final result of baking depends on several factors: the water hardness (harder water slows down the rising process); the air humidity (if the air is too humid, use 1-2 spoons less water, for example); the altitude (above 750 m, the dough rises faster); the consistency of the ingredients.
• Due to the above, recipes can be slightly modified as needed (based on practical experience).
• The bread maker comes with a measuring spoon A8 and a measuring cup A7. Both ends of the measuring spoon have a measuring scoop (large and small). The small spoon has a volume of 5 ml. The large spoon has a volume of 15 ml. The measuring cup A7 has a volume of 250 ml.
• A full measuring cup A7 of flour weighs 150 g, or 250 ml of water.
• A small spoon of salt weighs 6g, 3.5g instant yeast, 4.5g dough improver, 3.5g cream of tartar, or 6g baking soda.
• A large spoon of sugar weighs 14g, 7g raisins, 6g walnuts, 6.5g milk powder, 16g oil. A whole egg weighs approximately 50-60g.
• When measuring ingredients, hold the measuring tool straight. For measuring liquids, place the cup on a horizontal surface.

Tips: If you want to bake bread without using recipes, buy ready-made bread mixes. Prepare the ready-made bread mixes according to the instructions on the packaging. It may be necessary to add instant or fresh yeast to ready-made bread mixes.
