All ingredients should be room temperature
(20-25°C)
Mound the flour and make a small hollow in the
centre of the flour and place the yeast there. If the
yeast contacts the water before kneading, the
bread may not rise well. This is very important
when using the Preset Timer.
4. Return the bread pan to the machine.
Wipe down the outside of the bread pan to
remove any spillage.
Ensure bread pan is inserted completely as
follows:
Lower the bread pan into the machine.
Push down on the bread pan firmly until it clicks
firmly into position on both sides.
5. Close the lid.
Do not open the lid during operation except to
check the consistency of the dough during the
kneading cycle or to glaze and add seeds to the
top of the loaf at 5 minutes before the end of the
baking cycle.
6. Plug in the bread maker.
Insert plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet.
Switch on at the power outlet. The display should
blink as ‘000‘ when the power is on.
7. Select the bread type, loaf size and
crust colour mode.
Press the ‘SELECT’ button until the display
indicates the appropriate bread setting. For basic
white bread press the SELECT button once and
‘1‘ will appear in the Display Window. The LOAF
size is automatically set at 1.25kg and CRUST
colour set at Medium.
For another loaf size and crust colour, press the
LOAF and CRUST buttons until the red light
aligns with the desired setting.
8. Start the bread maker.
Press the ‘START/stop’ button once. The
machine will begin kneading the dough and the
total time remaining until the bread is completed
will appear in the display window. The remaining
time will ‘count down‘ in one-minute increments.
• When the kneading cycle ends the bread will
start to rise.
• During the baking cycle of a program, steam
may sometimes come out of the vents on the
lid. The window may steam up. This is a normal
part of the bread making process.
• When the bread is finished baking, the machine
will sound 3 double ‘beeps’ and the display
window will read ‘000‘. The bread is now ready
to remove.
9. Remove the bread pan.
After the machine ‘beeps’, press the ‘start/STOP’
button. Remove the bread pan with oven mitts
as it is very hot! Pull the pan forward to unlock
and lift pan upwards.
Never set the hot bread pan directly on the body
of the unit, tablecloth, plastic surfaces or other
surfaces affected by heat
If you do not wish to remove the bread
immediately, the Bread Master Big Loaf will
automatically go into a ‘Keep Warm‘ setting,
holding the temperature of the bread for up to 60
minutes (There is no ‘Keep Warm‘ setting for
Dough and Bake settings).
The ‘Keep Warm‘ setting for the Yeast Free
setting is 22 minutes and the Jam setting 14
minutes.
10. Take the bread out of the bread pan.
Using oven mitts, gently shake the bread out of
the pan on to a wire rack to cool. We
recommend allowing the bread sufficient cooling
time before slicing. This should ensure straight,
even slices.
It is normal for the kneading blades to sometimes
remain in the bread, due to the crispness of the
crust. If this occurs, remove each blade with a
plastic or wooden utensil (a wooden chopstick is
ideal).
Handle with care as the kneading blades could
still be very hot.
Do not use metal utensils such as a knife to
remove blades, as they will scratch the non-stick
coated surface.
11. Unplug the power supply cord after

If you accidentally press the wrong
setting, crust colour or loaf size, press
and hold the ‘start/STOP‘ button to reset
the program.
☛
NOTE!
Certain settings such as Wholewheat,
Wholewheat Rapid and Jam have a pre-
warming cycle before the kneading cycle
commences. During this time the
machine will be warming the ingredients
but the kneading blades will not operate.
☛
NOTE!
Remove the bread from the bread pan
as soon as possible. The crust can
become moist and sticky if left in the
bread pan too long.

NOTE!
