• Before using the appliance for the first time
wash the bread baking machine’s baking
tin (never dip in water) with a mild detergent
and clean the kneading pegs.
• It is highly recommended to coat the new
baking tin and the kneading pegs with heat
resistant grease before using them for the
first time and let them heat in the oven for
about 10 minutes at 160°C. Once these
have cooled down clean away (polish) the
grease from the baking tin with a sheet of
paper towel. This operation is to be
performed to protect the nonstick coating.
This operation can be repeated from time
to time.
• After use always leave the appliance to
cool before cleaning it or putting it away.
It takes about half an hour for the appliance
to cool and to be ready again for baking
and kneading.
• Before cleaning pull out the plug and leave
the appliance to cool. Use a mild detergent.
Never use chemical cleaning agents,
gasoline, oven cleaners or any detergent
that can scratch or ruin the coating.
• Remove all the ingredients and crumbs
f r o m t h e l i d , c a s i n g a n d b a k i n g
compartment (E) with a moist towel. Never
dip the appliance in water nor fill the baking
compartment with water! For easy cleaning
the lid can be removed by positioning it
vertically and pulling it out.
• Wipe the outside of the baking tin with a
moist towel. The inside of the tin can be
washed with some detergent liquid. Do not
leave it too long dipped in water.
• Both the kneading pegs and drive shafts
need to be cleaned immediately after use.
If the kneading pegs remain in the tin, it
becomes difficult to remove them
afterwards. In this case fill the container
with warm water and leave it to rest for 30
minutes. Then remove the kneading pegs.
• The baking tin has a nonstick coating. Do
not use metal objects that can scratch the
surface when cleaning it. It is normal that
the color of the coating changes over the
course of time. This change does not alter
its effectiveness in any way whatsoever.
• Before putting the appliance away for
storage, make sure that it is perfectly cool,
clean and dry. Put the appliance away with
the lid closed.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ON BAKING
•
The bread sticks to the container after baking
Leave the bread to cool for about 10 minutes
after baking – turn the container upside
down. If necessary move the kneading peg
shaft back and forth. Grease the kneading
hooks before baking.
•
How do you avoid the forming of holes in
the bread owing to the presence of the
kneading pegs
You can remove the kneading pegs with
your fingers covered with flour before
leaving the dough to rise for the last time.
Depending on the program the display
must still show a total time of approx. 1:30
hours.
•
The dough spills over when it is left to rise.
This happens in particular when wheat flour
is used owing its greater content of gluten.
Remedy:
a) Reduce the amount of flour and adjust the
amounts of the other ingredients. When the
bread is ready, it will still have a large
volume.
b) Spread a tablespoon of heated liquefied
margarine on the flour.
•
The bread rises and spills over anyway
a) If a V-shaped ditch forms in the middle of
the bread, the flour does not have enough
gluten. This means that the wheat contains
too little protein (it happens during especially
rainy summers) or that the flour is too moist.
Remedy: add one tablespoon of wheat
gluten for 500 g of wheat.
b) If the bread has a funnel shape in the
middle, the possible cause can be one of
the following:
– the water temperature was too high;
– too much water was used;
– the flour was poor in gluten.
- Draft caused by opening the lid while
baking.
•
When can the lid of the bread baking
machine be opened during the baking?
Generally speaking, it is always possible
while the kneading is underway. During this
phase small quantities of flour or liquid can
still be added.
If the bread must have a particular aspect
after baking, proceed as follows: before
the last rising phase (Depending on the
program the display must still amount to a
total time of approx. 1:30 hours.) open the
lid with caution and shortly and carve the
