Baking
The bread maker adjusts the baking temperature automatically. Select
the BACKEN program to extend the baking process in case the bread is
still too pale after baking. First press and hold the
for 2 seconds. Now select and start program BACKEN. Stop the pro-
gram when the desired browning is achieved and disconnect the bread
maker from mains power supply.
Keeping Warm
The buzzer sounds repeatedly after the baking program is finished
and bread or foodstuffs can be removed. At the same time the 1-hour
warming phase starts. After 1 hour an acoustic signal is sounded. The
warming phase ends. Disconnect from mains power supply.
Program End
Have a grid ready and disconnect from mains power supply.
Remove the baking tin with oven gloves after the program has ended,
turn it upside down and slightly shake it; turn the kneading hook drive at
the bottom if the bread does not come out immediately. Use the sup-
plied hook in case the kneading hook gets stuck inside the bread. Insert
it through the semi-circular opening of the kneading hook at the bottom
of the warm bread and hook into the lower edge (at the wing of the
kneading hook). Carefully pull the kneading hook upward with the hook.
You can see in which part of the bread the wing of the kneading hook
is stuck. Cut the bread in that position and easily remove the kneading
hook.
Cleaning
WARNING:
• Always disconnect from mains power supply and
let the appliance cool down before cleaning.
• Do not submerge the appliance and the baking tin
in water. To avoid the risk of electric shock and fire
do not fill water into the baking chamber.
CAUTION:
•
Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive objects for cleaning.
•
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
•
For easy cleaning detach the lid; hold it upright and remove to the
top.
•
Remove all ingredients and crumbs with a damp cloth from lid, cas-
ing and baking chamber.
•
Wipe the baking tin on the outside with a damp cloth. The inside can
be cleaned with water and a mild cleaning agent.
•
Clean kneading hooks and drive shafts immediately after use. The
kneading hooks may be difficult to remove if left in the bread tin. In
this case fill warm water for approx. 30 minutes into the tin. Now the
kneading hooks can be removed easily.
NOTE:
The baking tin is anti-stick coated. It is normal if the color of the coating
changes over time, this does not affect the function.
•
Ensure that the appliance is clean and dry and has cooled down
complete before storing. Store the appliance with the lid closed.

• The bread sticks to the container after baking
Leave the bread to cool for about 10 minutes after baking – turn
START-/STOPP
the container upside down. Move the kneading hook shaft back
and forth, if necessary. Grease the kneading hooks before baking.
• How do you avoid the forming of holes in the bread owing to
the presence of the kneading hooks
You can remove the kneading hooks with your fingers covered with
flour before leaving the dough to rise for the last time. The display
must show a remaining processing time of approx. 1:30 hours,
depending on the program. If you not wish to do so, use the hook
after baking. If you proceed with caution, you can avoid the forming
of a large hole.
• The dough spills over when it is left to rise
This happens in particular when wheat flour is used owing to 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 per 500 g of wheat flour.
b) If the bread collapses funnel-shaped in the center, the possible
cause can be one of the following

• When can the lid of the bread maker be opened during the bak-
ing?
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 (the display must show a
remaining processing time of approx. 1:30 hours, depending on the
program) open the lid with caution and shortly and carve the bread
crust while it is forming with a sharp pre-heated knife, scatter cere-
als on it or spread a mixture of potato flour and water on the crust to
give it a glossy finish. This is the last time that the lid can be opened;
otherwise the bread will go down in the middle.
• What do the type numbers for flour mean?
The lower the type number, the less roughage the flour contains
and the lighter it will be.
• What is wholewheat flour?
Wholewheat flour is made of all types of cereals including wheat.
The term "wholewheat" means that the flour was ground from whole
grain and hence it has a greater contents of roughage thus making
the wholewheat flour darker. However, the use of wholewheat flour
does not make the bread darker as is widely believed.
