Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the breadmaker on. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the breadmaker works.

CONTROLS Menu Z Use the menu button to select one of the 12 programs. Options are basic, French, wholewheat, cake, sweet, dough, jam, sandwich, gluten free, fastbake I, fastbake II and speciality. See PROGRAMS for more information. Crust Colour Use the crust colour button to select the crust colour you are making. The t in the display will show the selected colour.
Sandwich This program provides a loaf with a loose texture and a thin crust, ideal for making sandwiches. Gluten free Gluten free bread uses other substances to give the dough elasticity and bounce. Gluten free loaves tend to be denser and coarser than bread made with strong flour.
Set the timer if you are going to use it. See USING THE TIMER. Press the start/stop button once to start the program. Your breadmaker will beep and the light on the control panel will come on. The colon (:) in the display will flash to let you know the program is running.
STORING BREAD • Your bread won’t keep like commercial bread. • It’s best eaten fresh, but you can store it for a couple of days at room temperature in a polythene bag with the air squeezed out. • To freeze bread, let it cool, put it in a polythene bag, try and squeeze as much air as you can from the bag then seal it.
Sugar • Sugar activates and feeds the yeast, allowing it to grow. It adds flavour and texture, and helps with browning the crust. Many sachet yeasts do not need sugar to activate. • Honey, syrup, or molasses may be used instead of sugar, provided the liquid ingredient is adjusted to compensate.
