In general: first add eggs and all liquids, then sugar, salt, spices and flavours.
Then add the solid ingredients (flour, cake mixture). Add yeast, soda, or baking
powder as the very last ingredients.
Note:
Ensure that yeast, soda or baking powder will not come in contact with any liquids
and salt. It is good advice to make a gentle hollow on top of the flour to add the-
se ingredients.
7. Ensure that the inner flap of the ingredients box is closed. For this, slightly push
the inner flap back into the lid. Close the lid gently.
IMPORTANT:
Carefully dab wet ingredients dry before filling into the ingredients
box. Do not fill in too large or sticky ingredients, as this may block the inner flap of
the ingredients box. Always chop or cut your ingredients to small pieces, but do not
fill in finely ground ingredients, or any powder, or any runny food. For adding this
type of ingredients, pause operation when the signal sounds and add your ingre-
dients by opening the lid.
8. The ingredients box is perfectly suited for adding granular ingredients like sesa-
me, linseed or coarsely chopped nuts. The appliance will open the inner flap of
the ingredients box to leave the content fall into the bread pan. Open the slider
of the ingredients box to fill in your food. Thereafter, close the slider.
STARTING THE BAKING PROGRAM
IMPORTANT:
Always leave the appliance cool down, before starting a new baking
process. If the display is showing H:HH after starting a new program, the tempe-
rature in the heating compartment is too high. In this case, immediately unplug the
appliance and open the lid until the appliance has reached ambient temperature.
1. Prepare the appliance for operation according to the instructions above and clo-
se the lid (see: "Preparation").
2. Insert the power plug into the wall power outlet. (See: "Important Safeguards
for Electrical Appliances") An acoustic signal sounds and the LCD screen shows
the program number 1 and the defaults of this baking program (operation time,
colour and amount).
Tip:
The buttons respond even to slight touches. Simply tip on the buttons with your
finger. A beep sounds with each entry. Names and numbers of the available pro-
grams are printed on the lid.
The buttons of the appliance are inactive, whenever the respective function is not
32
available with the currently selected program, or while a program is running, or
when the control panel is locked (see: "Locking the Control Panel"). Running pro-
grams must be terminated first using the START/STOP button, when you wish to
make new entries.
3. Select your desired program by slightly touching the MENU button. (See: "Pro-
grams of the Bread Maker") Each input is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
4. Use the BURNING COLOR button to select the desired colour of your bread.
The icon on the bottom of the LCD screen shows whether you have chosen light,
medium, or dark.
5. Use the WEIGHT button to select the used total amount of all ingredients accor-
ding to your recipe: 500 g, 750 g, or 1000 g.
6. Thereafter, if required, you can set the finishing time duration for the baking pro-
cess via the timer function. You can enter a maximum delay of up to 15 hours.
See: "Using the Timer"
IMPORTANT:
If the display shows unusual information after the program has been
started (H:HH or E:E0), then immediately unplug the appliance. See "Solving Pro-
blems" for further information.
7. With the desired settings on the LCD screen, start the baking program by tou-
ching the START/STOP button.
The dots of the program time and the icon of the actual operating phase will
flash. The program will automatically run various operations. During operation,
only the START/STOP button is active. You can watch the process via the win-
dow in the lid of your Bread Maker. Occasionally, during various program pha-
ses, condensate could accumulate on the window.
Tip:
The appliance lid can be opened during kneading, for example, to add further
ingredients. For this, you should pause operation (see: "Functions of the Buttons").
Use this way for adding powder and wet or sticky ingredients. However, you
should avoid opening the lid during operation, if possible. This holds especially
during the baking process, because the bread could collapse.
8. You can pause operation at any time by shortly touching the START/STOP but-
ton. The program time will flash on the LCD screen. The appliance will re-assume
operation after 3 minutes automatically.
Additionally, you can cancel operation at any time. For this, hold your finger on
the START/STOP button for approx. 3 seconds, until a beep sounds. Any run-
ning program will be cancelled immediately and the current settings are deleted.
