Baking powder
Baking powder is used for rising quick bread and cakes. Since it does not need long time for rising and produces
air on chemical principle, the air will generate bubbles refining the texture of the bread.
Baking soda
Similar use like baking powder. You can use it in combination with baking powder.
Water and other liquids (always added first)
Water is a basic ingredient for bread baking. Generally, the water should be at room temperature. Some recipes
may require milk or other liquids improving the taste of the bread. If the recipe requires milk products never
use the delayed start function.
Tips to bake a good bread
Use exactly measured amounts.
One of the most important conditions for baking good bread is the correct amount of ingredients. Measure
carefully each ingredient and add to the baking pan exactly according to the recipe. We strongly recommend
that you use a measuring cup or a measuring spoon, because the wrong amount could significantly affect the
result.
Correct order of the ingredients
Always add the ingredients in order according to the recipe.
FIRST: Liquid ingredients
THEN: Dry ingredients
FINALY: Yeast
Yeast should be added only to dry flour and should not come into contact with a liquid or salt. If you set a long
interval for the delayed start, never add perishable ingredients such as milk or eggs. After the first thorough
kneading of dough a beep will sound, indicating the time to put in fruit ingredients into the mixture. If these
ingredients were added too soon, they would lose their flavour during the long mixing.
Liquid ingredients
Water, fresh milk or other liquids should be measured with a measuring cup with distinct markings and neck.
Place a cup on the kitchen counter and bend, so that you can accurately check the level of the liquid. When
measuring oil and similar ingredients, clean the cup thoroughly.
Measuring the dry ingredients
Gently pour the measured ingredient in the measuring cup using a spoon and then even it with knife. Never
scoop the ingredient directly with the measuring cup, you could scoop up to one teaspoon more this way.
Never press down the content of the measuring cup. Tip: Stir the flour before measuring to aerate it. When
measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, e.g. salt or sugar, use a measuring spoon and make sure that it is
even when measured.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM

The ingredients do not mix
even though you hear the
motor running.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Flour or other ingredients
spilled out or fell out of
the baking pan in the
appliance.
• Incorrectly inserted baking
pan or the kneading
paddle.
• Too many ingredients.
SOLUTION
• Disconnect the bread maker from power
supply and let it cool completely. Wipe off
the excess ingredients with paper towel.
• Make sure that the kneading paddle is
entirely inserted on the shaft.
• Measure exact ingredients.
