BM48268SMEE-SSBreadmaker
Room temperature note
The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of
temperatures, but there could be a difference in loaf
size between a very warm room and a very cold
room. We recommend the room temperature should
be between 15ºC and 34ºC.
Using the timer
Use the timer when you want the bread ready later,
or in the morning. A maximum of 13 hours can be
set. Check if function is available by consulting
'Baking cycle times' section. Do not use this
function with recipes that use perishable ingredients
such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese.
1
Decide when you want the bread to be ready and
calculate the difference in time between now and
then. For example, if you want a loaf at 8am, and it
is now 7.30pm, the difference is 12
Enter this time by pressing 'Time M' and 'Time L'
2
buttons. Arrows will move time up or down in
10-minute increments. After you have pressed Start,
the colon (:) will flash.
•
If you have selected the wrong time press stop for 2
seconds. The timer will go back to the program
time, repeat step 1 and 2.
3
The timer delay is up to a maximum of 13 hours.
This is when the bread will be ready to remove
from the machine, see page 8 item 14 'Remove
the food'.
Beeper
The beeper sounds:
•
when pressing any button;
•
during the second kneading cycle of certain
programs to indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or other
ingredients can be added;
•
when the program finishes;
•
when keep warm finishes.
Power interruption
After a brief power supply failure
•
if the program has not yet reached rise 1, press
Start and the program will continue using the
automatic repeat function;
•
if it has gone beyond this point, the process must
be started from the very beginning. The ingredients
will have to be discarded and you must start again
with fresh ingredients.
Slicing and storing bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and
allow to cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated
blade for even slices.
Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic bag
at room temperature for up to three days. If weather
is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator overnight.
For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in
a tightly covered container in the freezer.
If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out
to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Since homemade bread has no preservatives it
tends to dry out and become stale faster than
commercially made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into
1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and
used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread
pudding, or stuffing.

Drop down blade
The breadmaker has a unique kneading blade which
folds down flat at the end of the 2nd rise cycle, this
'punches' the dough ready for the final rise 3 and
allows the blade to fold flat to minimise the hole
size left in the base of the baked loaf.
Ensure the blade is in the upright position before
adding the ingredients. If it falls over, lift it back to
the upright position.
Clean the blade every time after use, ensure the
blade rotates freely on the spindle before each use,
you can add a little sunflower oil to the joint before
putting it back into the pan. This will then be ready
for next use.
Refer to page 7, 'using your breadmaker' for
guidance.

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, unplug
the unit before cleaning.
2
Wait until the breadmaker has cooled.
•
IMPORTANT: Do not immerse or splash either the
body or lid in any liquid as this may cause damage
and/or electric shock.
3
Exterior: Wipe the lid and outer body of the unit with
a damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge.
4
Interior: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the
interior of the breadmaker.
5
Baking pan: Clean the baking pan with warm water,
soap is not necessary. Avoid scratching the non-
stick surface. Dry it thoroughly before placing it
back in the baking chamber.
•
Do not wash the baking pan, measuring cup, spoon
or kneading blades in the dishwasher.
•
Do not soak the baking pan for long periods as this
could interfere with the working of the drive shaft.
•
If the paddle becomes stuck in the bread pan, pour
hot water over it and allow to soak for 30 minutes.
This will enable you to remove the paddle more
easily.
•
Be sure the appliance is completely cooled before
storing away.
Do not use any of these when cleaning

Special care for the non-stick finish
Avoid damaging the coating. Do not use metal
utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks.
The coating may change colour after long use, this
is only caused by moisture and steam and will not
affect the performance of the unit or quality of your
bread.
The hole in the centre of the kneading blade should
be cleaned, then add a drop of cooking oil and
replace it on the spindle in the baking pan. This will
prevent the blade sticking.
•
Keep all air vents and openings clear of dust.
Storing the unit
Be sure to dry all parts before storing including
wiping any moisture from the viewing window. Close
the lid and do not store anything on top of the lid.
