programme will depend on the preparation
used. For example: Wholemeal bread -
Programme 5.
Sugar: use white sugar, brown sugar or honey.
Do not use sugar lumps. Sugar acts as food
for the yeast, gives the bread its good taste
and improves browning of the crust. Artificial
sweeteners cannot be substituted for sugar as
the yeast will not react with them.
Salt: salt gives taste to food and regulates
the yeast's activity. It should not come into
contact with the yeast. Thanks to salt, the
dough is firm, compact and does not rise too
quickly. It also improves the structure of the
dough. Use ordinary table salt. Do not use
coarse salt or salt substitutes.
Yeast: baker's yeast exists in several forms:
fresh in small cubes, dried and active to be
rehydrated or dried and instant. Fresh yeast is
sold in supermarkets (bakery or fresh produce
departments), but you can also buy fresh yeast
from your local baker's. In its fresh or instant
dried form, yeast should be added directly to
the baking pan of your breadmaker with the
other ingredients.
Remember to crumble the fresh yeast with your
fingers to make it dissolve more easily. Only
active dried yeast (in small granules) must
be mixed with a little tepid water before use.
Choose a temperature close to 35°C, less and
it will not rise as well, more will make it lose
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Unplug the appliance.

soapy water.
If the kneading paddle remain stuck in the
pan, let it soak for 5 to 10 min.
• When necessary the lid can be cleaned with
warm water and a sponge.
its rising power. Keep to the stated amounts
and remember to multiply the quantities if you
use fresh yeast (see equivalents chart below).

Additives (dried fruit or nuts, olives.): add
a personal touch to your recipes by adding
whatever ingredients you want, taking care:
> to add following the beep for additional
ingredients, especially those that are fragile
such as dried fruit,
> to add the most solid grains (such as linseed
or sesame) at the start of the kneading
process to facilitate use of the machine
(delayed starting, for example),
> to thoroughly drain moist ingredients
(olives),
> to lightly flour fatty ingredients for better
blending,
> not to add too large a quantity of additional
ingredients, especially cheese, fresh fruit
and fresh vegetables, as they can affect
the development of the dough, respect the
quantities indicated in the recipes,
> to have no ingredients fallen outside the pan.
• Do not wash any part
in a dishwasher.
• Do not use household
cleaning products,
scouring pads or alcohol. Use a soft, damp
