Assembling your bread maker is quick and easy.

• Always remove the bread pan from the interior of the bread maker before inserting the paddle or adding any ingredients. This makes sure that no ingredients are spilled in the interior of the baking chamber. If spilled, these could end up burning on the element inside.
• If you are using the collapsible paddle, make sure that it moves smoothly on it’s hinge. Left over dough can clog the hinge, causing the paddle to be unable to collapse when needed during the bread making phases. Ensure that the D shaped opening of either paddle, and the hinge area of the collapsible paddle, are completely clear of any residual dough.
• When assembling your ingredients, it’s very important that they be added to the bread pan in the order that they are listed in the recipe. They should go in liquids first, then fats, then dry ingredients and finally the yeast.

Use of your Custom Loaf™ Bread Maker.

• Please note that whole wheat loaves will be a bit shorter then recipes using bread flour. This is also true with some other specialty flours. Also, these can change the color of the loaf a bit so it’s best to pay special attention during the bake function to make sure the loaf using the specialty flour does not get too brown.
• Do not underfill or overfill the bread pan as the bread may not mix properly. The recipes in the instruction book are designed for 1lb to 2.5 lb loaves. However, if developing your own recipes, as a general guide, a minimum of 2 cups and a maximum 4.5 cups of dry ingredients is recommended. on the jam setting, as a general guide, a maximum of 3 cups of fruit should be used.
• Although the bread maker is capable of making loaves from 1.0lb to 2.5 lb., we recommend making the larger loaf sizes. The ingredient quantities for the 1.0lb loaf may not fill the bread pan to the ideal volume for a uniform loaf. This is especially true for breads that contain whole grains or other special ingredients. This is why some settings have limited or no loaf size options.
• Due to ingredient properties, some settings have been programmed to skip certain phases.
• You may notice clicking noises during the ‘Rise’ and ‘Bake’ phases. This is normal. It is the internal components switching on and off to maintain the correct temperature.
• The break maker is equipped with Power Failure Protection. If the power supply is interrupted and then restored, this feature allows the cycle to automatically resume where it left off instead of starting from the beginning of the cycle. For the Power Failure Protection to activate, the break maker must have been operating for a minimum of 5 minutes before the power was interrupted, and the power must be restored within 60 minutes. If you are unsure when the outage occurred, or if the interruption occurred during the ‘Bake’ phase, it is recommended to discard the ingredients, particularly when using perishable ingredients such as dairy products, eggs, etc.
• If the bread is difficult to remove, turn the bread pan on it’s side and, with protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts, wiggle the wing-nut on the underside of the bread pan a few times. This will loosen the paddle from the bread. Over-turning the wing-nut can drive the paddle further into the bread.
• If you wish to make a second loaf just after the first, allow about one hour cooling time before using the machine again. Open the lid to help cool the interior baking chamber. If the bread maker is too hot, a display code, “—H” or “-H”, will appear on the LCD screen and the bread maker will not operate until it has cooled down to the correct operating temperature for kneading.

Routine Maintenance

Ensure the bread maker is turned OFF by pressing and holding the CANCEL button. The bread maker is OFF when the START | PAUSE button surround is no longer red. Remove the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the bread maker and all accessories to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

1.	Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing and the LCD screen with a soft, damp cloth. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the outer surface or LCD screen, before cleaning. Do not use a dry paper towel or cloth to clean the LCD screen, or use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad to clean any part of the bread maker as these will scratch the surface.
2.	If over-spills such as flour, nuts, raisins etc. occur in the interior baking chamber, carefully remove them using a soft, damp cloth. Use extreme caution when cleaning the heating elements. Ensure the bread maker is completely cool then gently rub a soft, damp sponge or cloth along the length of the heating element. Do not use any type of cleanser or cleaning agent.
3.	For thorough cleaning, the lid can be removed from the stainless steel housing. Lift open the lid completely. Holding the sides of the lid, lift straight upwards. The lid should detach from the hinge. To replace the lid, align the pivot pins on the lid with the pivot points on the hinge. Wipe the lid, viewing window and Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser with a soft, damp sponge. A glass cleaner or mild detergent may be used. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the surface.
4.	Wash the collapsible paddle and fixed paddle with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
5.	Ensure there is no baked-on residue in any of the paddle crevices, including the ‘D’ shaped hole and hinge area. If there is, soak the paddle in warm soapy water. A non- abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Allow to stand for 10-20 minutes. Use a wooden toothpick, thin wooden skewer or plastic cleaning brush to remove any bread residue from the crevices and hinge area. Failure to clean the hinge area may eventually result in the collapsible paddle not working effectively. Rinse thoroughly.
6.	Half fill the bread pan with warm soapy water. A non- abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Allow to stand for 10-20 minutes.
7.	Remove the paddle and wash the inside of the bread pan with a soft cloth. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the non-stick coating. Ensure there is no baked-on residue or dough on the drive shaft. Rinse thoroughly.
8.	Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet.
Some discoloration may appear on and inside the bread pan over time. This is a natural effect caused by moisture and steam and will not affect the bread in any way.
The inside of the bread pan is coated with a high quality non-stick coating. As with any non-stick coated surface, do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads or metal utensils to clean these items as they may damage the finish.

Baking

Step 1: Choose your recipe

Your steps and ingredients will depend on the type of bread you choose to make.

Step 2: Choose your crust

There are three different crust darknesses to choose from: Light, Medium and Dark. This is completely according to taste but please note that only certain recipes allow for all selections. Crust color can only be selected in the following bread types: BASIC, BASIC RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID, and GLUTEN FREE.

Step 3: Choose your loaf size

Once you have your recipe selected, you will need to decide the size of loaf you wish to make. The Custom Loaf™ is designed to make loaves from 1.0lb to 2.5lb. It is recommended that you select the larger sizes when possible to ensure that the bread pan is filled up sufficiently. If there is too little ingredients in the bread pan, or if there are too many, the bread may mix unevenly. The loaf size can only be selected in certain settings: BASIC, BASIC RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID, GLUTEN FREE, CRUSTY LOAF and SWEET settings. Only the 2.0lb and 2.5lb are available for you to choose with the GLUTEN FREE setting.

Step 4: Getting your bread started

Once you have your options selected, remove the bread pan from the machine and assemble your ingredients according to the recipe. If you are using your own custom recipe, make sure you add in the liquid ingredients first, then the fats, the dry ingredients and finally the yeast.

Step 5: Load the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser

If you are not using the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser, jump forward to Step 6.

The Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser releases fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, seeds or other suitably sized ingredients into the dough at exactly the right time during the ‘knead’ phase (about 3/4 of a cup of dry ingredients). If added before this time, excessive kneading will cause the ingredients to break down rather than maintain their shape within the dough.

Step 6: Start the bread maker.

At this point the decision should be made if the bread should be started now or if the completion of the loaf should be delayed. It is recommended that if perishable items (dairy, eggs, etc.) are being used that the Delay Start feature NOT be used. If the bread does need to be finished at a later time, then before the START/PAUSE button is pushed to begin the bread cycle, the DELAY START button should be pressed first. When the DELAY START button is selected, the LCD will display “Ready In” and the preset cycle time will be flashing. Simply turn the SELECT push dial until the time reads the number of hours from now that the bread should be completed. For example, if the bread is wanted hot and dinner is 6 hours away, change that time to read 6 hours. Once set, press the START/PAUSE button to begin either the cycle or the count down.

*If you do not press and hold the CANCEL button after the ‘Bake” phase is complete, the machine will automatically go into the ‘Keep Warm’ phase. The ‘Keep Warm’ phase will hold the temperature of the baked bread for up to 60 minutes before automatically turning off.

Step 7: Removing the bread.

With protective pads or oven mitts, open the lid of the bread maker, grasp the handle of the bread pan and pull straight up. Move the pan to a cooling rack and turn the pan upside down, shaking gently. If the bread does not come out easily after just a few shakes, turn the bread pan on it’s side and, with the protective pads or oven mitts still on, gently wiggle the wing-nut on the bottom of the pan from side to side then turn the pan upside down again. If the bread is still sticking, use a non-metallic utensil such as a silicone spatula, to separate it from the sides and loosen it enough to slide out of the pan. Turn the bread upright and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

* If you are making yeast free breads, allow the bread to remain in the pan and on the rack for 20 minutes. After that time, remove the bread and allow to continue to cool for another 15 to 30 minutes before slicing.

Pause Function

*Bread dough can be hand-shaped into braided breads with decorative crusts, rolled or layered into sweet or savory filled pull-apart breads, or finished with a variety of glazes, crumbles and toppings. A few ideas and techniques are explained here, and all of them rely on the Pause Feature.

Decorative Crusts

 

• • Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1 tablespoon of water.
  • At the start of the ‘bake’ phase, press and hold the START | PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
  • Lift open the lid.
  • With the bread pan still in the interior baking chamber, use a very sharp knife or blade to cut a decorative pattern in the top of the loaf (slashes, tic-tac-toe, cross, etc.) Carefully brush the top of the loaf and cuts with the egg wash, careful not to spill or drip the egg wash inside the interior baking chamber as it will burn. Work quickly to limit the amount of heat loss.
  • Close the lid. Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the cycle.

Braided Breads

• • • Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1 tablespoon of water.
    • At the start of the ‘rise 3’ phase, press and hold the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
    • Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking chamber and close the lid.
    • Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.
    • Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Stretch and roll each piece into a 10″ (25cm) rope. Place the ropes on a flat surface side by side. Begin braiding from the center of the ropes rather than the ends for a more even shape. When complete, rotate the half braided bread and repeat the procedure from the middle to the other end. Tuck the ends under and place into the bread pan. Carefully brush the top of the loaf with the egg wash and sprinkle with seeds if desired, careful not to spill or drip the egg wash and seeds inside the interior baking chamber as these will burn.
    • Return the bread pan to the baking chamber.
    • Close the lid. Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the cycle.

Pull-Apart Rolls

• • • Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1 tablespoon of water.
    • At the start of the ‘rise 3’ phase, press and hold the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
    • Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking chamber and close the lid.
    • Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.
    • Divide the dough into even pieces (12, 18, or 24) and roll each piece into a round ball. Create a single layer of dough balls in the bread pan. Carefully brush the layer with the egg wash and sprinkle with spices. Continue layering and spicing until all the dough balls are used, careful not to spill or drip the egg wash and spices inside the interior baking chamber as these will burn.
    • Return the bread pan to the baking chamber. 7. Close the lid. Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the cycle.

Rolled Breads

• • • Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1 tablespoon of water.
    • At the end of the ‘rise 2’ phase, press and hold the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
    • Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking chamber and close the lid.
    • Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.
    • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle shape, approximately 8″ x 12″ (20cm × 30cm). Spread tomato paste over the dough and top with Italian mixed herbs, chopped salami, chopped black olives and grated cheese. Roll up lengthwise, as for a Swiss roll. Tuck the ends under and place into the bread pan.
    • Return the bread pan to the baking chamber.
    • Close the lid. Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the cycle. The ‘rise 3’ phase will begin, followed by the ‘bake’ phase.
    • At 15 minutes into the ‘bake’ phase, press and hold the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
    • Follow the ‘Decorative Crusts’ procedure above.

Modify Setting

The preset, recommended temperature and times for the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’ and ‘keep warm’ phases can be modified to suit a specific recipe or your personal preference. For example, if you like a crustier loaf, the baking temperature and time can be increased.

NOTE: The modified temperatures and times will not be stored in the memory of the bread maker. Instead, the bread maker will return to its default temperatures and times after the modified cycle has finished. To store the modified temperatures and times, refer to the Custom Setting below.

1.		Using the SELECT push-dial, select the desired setting, crust color and loaf size.
2.		Before pressing the START | PAUSE button to activate the cycle, press the MODIFY button. The LCD screen will display the progress indicator and flash to indicate the phase that can be modified, as well as its preset temperature/time. Use the SELECT push-dial to modify the preset temperature and/or times for each of the phases.
3.		Once all the phases have been modified to suit your preferences, the LCD screen will indicate the new cycle time. Press the START | PAUSE button to activate the cycle.

NOTE: Phases can only be modified if they are already applicable to a setting. For example, the BAKE ONLY setting does not have a ‘knead’ phase, so this phase cannot be modified. If, for some reason, you would like to include or modify a phase that is not applicable to a setting, select the WHOLE WHEAT setting and use it as a base to program your custom recipe setting. The WHOLE WHEAT setting allows you to modify all of the phases.

Custom Setting

The preset, recommended temperatures and times for the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’ and ‘keep warm’ phases can be modified to suit a specific recipe or your personal preference, then stored in the memory of the bread maker.

This is particularly useful if you have a favorite recipe that you regularly bake. Alternatively, for advanced bakers it allows you to factor in variables such as the brand and type of flour, quality of the yeast, altitude and climate considerations. For example, in a humid climate the rising cycles can be reduced.

TIP: We recommend that for your own reference, you record the custom recipe number and recipe, along with a log of the temperatures and times. Blank charts for this purpose are at the end of the product manual, pages 122-131.

1.		Turn the SELECT push-dial until the indicator on the LCD screen reaches the CUSTOM setting. Press the push-dial to select.
2.		The LCD screen will indicate ‘CUSTOM 1’. This means you are about to program custom recipe number 1. There are 9 custom recipe spaces for you to program.
3.		Press the MODIFY button. The LCD screen will indicate a flashing ‘CUSTOM’ and the MODIFY button surround will flash, indicating that you are in programming mode.
4.		Using the SELECT push-dial, select the setting, crust color, loaf size and the temperature and times for the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’ and ‘keep warm’ phases. NOTE: If you accidentally select the wrong temperature or time, refer to Step 2 of ‘Modifying a Programmed Custom Recipe.’
5.		Once all the phases have been modified to suit your preferences, ‘CUSTOM’ and the MODIFY button surround will no longer flash. The LCD screen will indicate the newly programmed cycle time.
6.		To activate the cycle, press the START | PAUSE button.
7.		Alternatively, to activate the Delay Start feature, press the DELAY START button. Turn the SELECT push-dial to change the cycle time and press to select. The time you select relates to the finish time of the baked loaf.

Modifying a Programmed Custom Recipe

There are 9 custom recipe spaces for you to program. If a space has been filled and the MODIFY button is pressed, the LCD screen will indicate a flashing ‘REPLACE?’

1.

If you don’t want to replace your programmed custom recipe, press the CANCEL button. The LCD screen will no longer indicate a flashing ‘REPLACE?. Turn the SELECT push-dial to check if another space has been filled or not.

2.

If you do want to replace or modify your programmed custom recipe, press the SELECT push-dial. The LCD screen will indicate a flashing ‘CUSTOM’ and the MODIFY button surround will flash, indicating that you are in programming mode. Using the SELECT push-dial, re-select the setting, crust color, loaf size and the temperatures and times for the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’ and ‘keep warm’ phases. Once all the phases have been modified to suit your preferences, ‘CUSTOM’ and the MODIFY button surround will no longer flash. The LCD screen will indicate the newly re-programmed cycle time.
