The program will automatically run various operations. You can watch the program sequence via the window of your bread baking machine. Occasionally, condensation may occur during baking in the window. The appliance lid can be opened during kneading.

Note: Do not open the appliance lid during baking. The bread can collapse.

Tip: After 5 minutes of kneading, check the consistency of the dough. It should be a soft, sticky lump. If it is too dry, add some liquid to it. If it is too moist, add some flour (1/2 to 1 teaspoon one or more times, as needed).

REMOVE FUNCTION

This function allows you to remove the dough kneading paddles before the baking phase. This is not mandatory, but has the advantage that the unaesthetic holes in the finished bread are slightly smaller because they are caused only by the thin shafts. The bread is no longer torn by the dough kneading paddles when removing it from the baking pan and is also easier to remove. During the 2nd rising phase, 10 beeps sound and "RMV" ashes on the display, then press the start/stop button to pause the program sequence for ten minutes. During this ten minutes pause, the remaining program time flashes on the display, remove the dough kneading paddles, press the start/stop button to continue the program, if no to press the the start/stop button, the program continues automatically after a 10-minute pause. This function does not apply to programs 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15.

When the baking process has been completed, ten acoustic signals are issued and the display indicates 0:00. At the end of the program the appliance automatically changes to a warming mode for up to 60 minutes. In this mode, warm air circulates inside the appliance. You can prematurely terminate the warming function by keeping the Start/Stop button pressed until two acoustic signals are heard. The "keep warm" phase does not apply to program 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14.

• Before opening the appliance lid, pull the power plug out of the wall socket. When not in use, the appliance should never be plugged in!
• Taking out the bread
• When taking out the baking pan, always use pot holders or oven gloves. Hold the baking pan tilted over a grid and shake lightly until the bread slides out of the baking pan. If the bread does not slip off the kneading paddles, carefully remove the kneading paddles using the enclosed kneading paddle remover.

NOTE: Do not use any metal objects that may lead to scratches on the non-stick coating. After removing the bread, immediately rinse the baking pan with warm water. This prevents the kneading paddles from sticking to the driving shaft.

Tip: If you remove the kneading paddles after the last kneading of the dough, the bread will remain intact when you remove it from the baking pan.

1. Briefly press the Start/Stop button, to interrupt the baking process or pull the power plug out of the wall socket.
2. Open the appliance lid and take out the baking pan. You can take the dough out with floured hands and remove the kneading paddles.
3. Replace the dough and close the appliance lid.
4. Push the plug back into the wall socket and press the Start/Stop button. The baking program is continued. Let the bread cool for 15-30 minutes before eating. Before cutting bread, make sure that no kneading paddle is still in the baking pan.

Do not attempt to start operating the bread maker, before it has either cooled down or warmed up. If the display shows "HHH" after the program has been started, it means that the temperature inside of bread pan is too high. You should stop the program and unplugged the power outlet immediately. Then open the lid and let the machine cool down completely before using again. If the display shows "LLL" after the program has been started, it means that the temperature inside of bread pan is too low, it may caused by frozen ingredient, if work, the bread maker will be damaged. You should stop the program and unplugged the power outlet immediately, remove it to the warmer environment until the temperature of the ingredient rise, then it can work. If the display shows "EE0" after you have pressed Start/Stop button, switch off the main switch and disconnect the mains plug, then insert the mains plug again and switch on the main switch, if the error message is still displayed, please contact Customer Service.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Pull the power plug out of the wall socket each time and allow the appliance to cool down. Protect the appliance against splashing water and moisture, as these could lead to an electric shock. Please also observe the safety instructions.

The parts and accessories of the appliance should not be washed in a dish washing machine.

Casing, lid, baking chamber

Remove all particles left behind inside the baking area using a wet cloth or a slightly wet soft sponge. Wipe the casing and the lid too with a wet cloth or sponge. Make sure that the inside area is fully dry. For easy cleaning, the appliance lid can be removed from the housing:

1. Open the appliance lid to a suitable angle and lift up to remove it.
2. Pull the appliance lid out of the hinge guides.
3. To attach the appliance lid, pass the wedge-shaped hinge tappets through the opening in the hinge guides.

Baking pans and kneading paddles

The surfaces of the baking pans and kneading paddles have a nonstick coating. While cleaning, do not use any abrasive detergents, cleaning powders or objects that may cause scratches on the surface. Due to moisture and vapor the surface of various parts may undergo changes in their appearance over a period of time. This does not affect the quality or functional performance of the appliance. Before cleaning, take the baking pans and kneading paddles out of the baking area. Wipe the outside of the baking pans with a damp cloth.

Never immerse the baking pans in water or other liquids. Clean the interior of the baking pans with warm, soapy water. If the kneading paddles are incrusted and hard to release, ll the baking pan with hot water for approx. 30 minutes. If the retainer in the kneading paddle is clogged, you can clean it carefully with a wooden skewer. Do not use any chemical cleaning agents or thinners to clean the bread maker.
