CYCLES
The indicator light comes on facing the cycle that the breadmaker has reached.
Atable (page 26-27) indicates the breakdown of the various cycles for the programme chosen.
Preheating: only activated for programmes 3 and 8. The kneading paddle does not operate during
this period. This step accelerates yeast activity and thus encourages rising in breads made of flours which
tend not to rise well.
Kneading: the dough is in the 1st or 2nd kneading cycle or in a stirring period between rising cycles.
During this cycle, and for programmes 1, 3, 4 and 8, you can add ingredients: dried fruit or nuts, olives,
bacon pieces, etc.
Abeep indicates when you can intervene. See the summary table for preparation times (page 26-27) and
the “extra” column.
This column indicates the time that will be displayed on your appliance’s screen when the beep sounds.
For more precise information on how long before the beep sounds, subtract the “extra” column time from
the total baking time.
For example: “extra” = 2:51 and “total time” = 3:13, the ingredients can be added after 22 min.
Rising: the dough is in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd rising cycle.
Baking: the bread is in the final baking cycle.
Warming: for programmes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10, you can leave your preparation in the appliance.
Aone-hour warming cycle automatically follows baking.
The display remains at 0:00 for one hour of warming. The appliance beeps at regular intervals. At the end
of the cycle, it stops automatically after 3 beeps. To stop the warming programme, unplug the appliance.
SELECTING THE WEIGHT OF THE BREAD
The bread weight is set by default at 1000 g. This weight is shown for informational purposes. See the
recipes for more details. Programmes 6, 7, 8 and 9 do not have weight settings. Press the button to
set the desired weight of 750 g or 1000 g. The indicator light against the selected setting comes on.
SELECTING THE COLOUR OF THE CRUST (BROWNING)
By default, the colour of the crust is set at MEDIUM.
Programmes 6, 7, 8 and 9 do not have a colour setting.
Three choices are possible: LIGHT/MEDIUM/DARK.
If you want to change the default setting, press the button until the indicator light facing the desired
setting comes on.
SELECTING FAST MODE
Recipes 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be made in FAST mode, thus reducing baking time.
Press on the button 4 times to select FAST mode.
The colour of the crust cannot be set in FAST mode.
START/STOP
Press the button to switch the appliance on. The countdown begins.
To stop the programme or to cancel delayed programming, hold down on the button for 5 seconds.
Kneading
For forming
the dough’s
structure so
that it can
rise better.
Rest
Allows
the dough
to rest
to improve
kneading
quality.
Rising
Time during
which the yeast
works to let
the bread rise
and to develop
its aroma.
Baking
Transforms
the dough
into bread
and gives it
a golden,
crusty crust.
Warming
Keeps the bread
warm after baking.
It is recommended that
the bread should be
turned out promptly
after baking, however.
Preheating
Used for
programmes
