HOW THE HOME BAKERY WORKS

How the Home Bakery Works

Read this section thoroughly to understand how to select the course you desire for superb results with our recipes and yours. The Home Bakery allows you to choose from eight different settings, depending on the type of recipe you're using.

Settings for Yeast Breads include:

Basic White Bread For any ordinary yeast bread recipe; this is the setting you'll use most often. It takes about 3 hours and 50 minutes from start to finish. See page 10 for step-by-step instructions, or page 9 for our "Quick Start" white bread. Quick Baking When you're in hurry, this setting allows you to have yeast breads in about 2 hours and 50 minutes, or about an hour faster than the "Basic White Bread" setting. This setting is perfect for when you're using the "fast-rise" yeast. It allows for shortened kneading and rising times in the cycle. See page 10 for stepby-step instructions. Raisin Bread This setting is not just for raisin bread, but for any yeast bread that calls for extra ingredients such as raisins, nuts, onions, or shredded cheese that must be added after the initial mixing and kneading, Ten beeps will sound after about 30 to 45 minutes into the cycle; an indication that you can sagely lift the lid and add additional ingredients. Be sure to close the lid again until the baking is complete. Cycle takes 3 hours and 50 minutes. see page 10 for step-by-step instructions. Extra ingredients may be added before beeps sound while machine is operating in "Knead 2" stage. French Bread For less rich doughs like French bread dough that call for less kneading and more rising time, use this setting. The cycle takes longest of all, about 4 hours and 30 minutes. See page 11 for step-by-step instructions. Dough Setting When you're preparing doughs that call for shaping and conventional baking in other types of bread pans, choose this cycle. It will mix and knead dough, as well as allow one rising before the machine beeps "complete." At this stage, the dough is ready to remove from the machine to shape as you desire. Allow the dough to rise once again before baking. Use this setting to make doughs for fancier breads such as brioche, croissants, and bagels. The dough cycle takes 1 hour and 30 minutes in the machine. See page 11 for step-by-step instruction. Each yeast bread setting goes through the same functions, but each setting allows for different mixing, kneading, rising, and baking times,. Here's a chart to show you approximately how the machine is programmed for each setting. Note that the time of each process can vary slightly depending on the room temperature and the fluctuation of household current.

Start Baking! Quick Start White Bread

Here's a fast way to start using your Home Bakery. Follow this step-by-step method to make our Basic White Bread recipe.

Step 1:

Remove baking pan from unit by pulling it up and out of the unit with the handle. Attach kneading blade to the rotating shaft. Insert the kneading rod into the hole at the side of the baking pan by fitting the two tiny dins on the kneading rod into the slots on the hole of the baking pan, Into the baking pan measure in order: 1-1/4 cups milk 1-1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 teaspoons salt 3 cups high protein, bromated flour for bread (13 to 14 ounces).

Step 2:

Sprinkle 1 package active dry yeast over flour. Insert baking pan into unit with kneading rod facing front panel and handle folded down toward front. Press down on pan until you hear a "click" sound as it snaps into place. Close lid.

Step 3:

BASIC STEPS FOR PROGRAMMING YEAST BREAD SETTINGS

Basic Steps for Programming Yeast Bread Settings For Basic Bread Setting For Quick Baking Setting

For Basic White Bread Setting:

Step 1: Remove baking pan by opening the machine lid and holding baking pan by its handle. Attach the kneading blade to the rotating shaft (see diagram on page 4). Insert the kneading rod through the outside of the baking pan by fitting the two small fins of the kneading rod to the slots in the outside hole on the baking pan. The kneading blade and rod must be firmly attached to insure proper mixing, and to prevent fluids from leaking through the baking pan. Step 2: Place ingredients in the baking pan in the order given in the recipe. The yeast always goes on top, so that it does not come in contact with the liquid during the preheating stage. This machine automatically preheats the liquids to the proper temperature before the mixture goes through the mixing process. Step 3: Insert the baking pan into the unit with the kneading rod facing the front panel and the handle folded down toward the front. The kneading rod should slide firmly into the holder inside the front of the unit, and the pan should "snap" into place. Then close the lid. Step 4: Plug in the machine, and the display panel will show the present time (if time needs to be set, see "Setting the Clock" page 6). The panel will also show a "Medium" Baking Degree and the "Basic White Bread" setting. Step 5: Change the Baking Degree setting by pressing to desired "Light," "Medium," or "Dark." "Medium" is usually the best setting for basic yeast breads that contain little sugar or added ingredients. Step 6: If you wish to start the cycle immediately, press "Start." The red "Preheating/Operation" light will go on, until liquids reach the proper temperature. The panel will also display the completion time. Step 7: Do not lift the lid during the cycle. You can check progress by looking through the viewing window. Be careful not to touch the sides of the machine during the baking process, as the outer surfaces can become uncomfortably hot. Step 8: The "Complete" light will start blinking about 30 minutes before the end of the cooling cycle. You can allow the bread to cook inside the unit, or remove it immediately. To remove, press the "Reset" button to stop the cycle. Or, wait until the machine beeps about 8 times and flashing light stops to indicate the end of the cycle. Step 9: Remove baking pan by grasping the handle with hotpads and pulling the pan up out of the unit. Be sure to place the baking pan on a heatproof surface (never on top of the Home Bakery). With hotpads pull out the kneading rod; then turn bread out onto a cooking rack. If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, remove it with a pair of tongs or a hotpad. Unplug the Home Bakery. Turn bread upright on rack; cool completely before slicing. An average loaf is about 6 -7 inches tall. The top crust may be rounded, or have a wavy, undulating shape; these are normal results and do not affect the quality of your load.

For Quick Baking Setting:

Step 1: Follow steps 1 through 4 for "Basic White Bread" setting. Use only fast-rising yeast for "Quick Baking" setting. Step 2: Press Select Course bar until the display panel arrow points to "Quick Baking" setting. Step 3: Continue with steps 6 through 9 for "Basic White Bread" setting.

To Bake Bread Using the Timer, Not Memory Timer:

When you want to set the timer to start the Home Bakery at a specified time, not at a time you have programmed into memory, follow these steps. Note that recipes that call for milk should not be programmed more than 4 hours ahead; recipes calling for eggs should no be used with this function for food safety reasons. Step 1: Same as for Memory Timer. Step 2: Press the "Time Setting" bar. The "Completion Time" on the display panel will blink, showing a time of 4 hours from the present time for "Basic White Bread" setting, or 4 hours and 30 minutes away for the "French Bread" setting. "Timer" will also be shown on the display panel. Step 3: To set time to begin cycle: press the "Hours" bar until display panel reads the desired hour. Set the "Minutes" bar until display panel reads desired minutes (minute indication will advance ten minutes every time the bar is pressed). Step 4: Press "Timer" button at top of machine. A beeper will sound twice and timer will begin. The green timer light will also go on and the cycle will automatically continue through baking and cooling.

Cleaning the Machine and Baking Pan

Since dust and crumbs left inside the unit may cause scorching or uneven baking with the next use, be sure to clean both the pan and the unit thoroughly each time you use the Home Bakery. Both the Home Bakery and the base of the baking pan are not immersible in water or other liquids, but are easy to clean. You can wipe off the outside of the Home Bakery, as well as the top lid with a damp cloth. Clean the viewing window by wiping with a moist paper towel; wipe dry. Remove the lid to wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Use a damp cloth to wipe out the sides and bottom of the interior of the machine where dust accumulates. To clean the baking pan, fill the just-emptied pan with lukewarm water and detergent. If there is residue in the pan, allow it to soak for 30 minutes. Clean the inside of the baking pan with a soft sponge, being careful not to damage the rubber seal under the kneading blade. Remove the kneading rod; if the fitting on the pan is clogged, clean it with a soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush. Both the baking pan, kneading rod and kneading blade are coated with a non-stick finish. Do not use hard utensils such as forks, knives or metal spatulas inside the baking pan. Do no clean with metal scrubbers or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the coasting. The coating may change color after long use; this is cause by moisture and steam inside the machine and will not affect the performance of the Home Bakery.

Storing the Home Bakery

Cool the unit completely with the lid open. Clean unit and baking pan as described above. Be sure that all moisture inside the unit has dried completely before closing lid to store. Do no store in a moist area, or near a gas flame or heat source. Do not place heavy objects on the top lid; the seal could be damaged. - 15 -

The Home Made Menu Setting When the Power Goes Off Abou the Lithium Battery Questions & Answers

When the Power Goes Off

If the power goes off while the machine is running through a cycle, the operation will no be affected if the power returns within ten minutes. If the timer is being used, it will continue to operate. If power in interrupted and returns after more than ten minutes, the cycle will stop and the "completion Time" indication on the display panel will blink. Of the timer had been set, and it has passed the starting time by more than 10 minutes, the panel display will blink "Completion Time" and the machine will start the cycle. If power is interrupted for an extended length of time, remove the dough and begin again with new ingredients when the power resumes.

About the Lithium Battery

The Home Bakery has a built-in lithium battery which operates the clock and memory functions, even when the machine is not plugged in. If the machine is stored unplugged, the battery will last 4 to 5 years. The battery lasts longer if the machine is plugged into a household outlet. when the battery needs to be replaces, the display panel will blink "8:00 a.m." Do not attempt to change the battery; send your Home Bakery to an authorized service center to replace it.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q1. Why do the height and shape of my bread loaves differ? A. Both the room temperature and fluctuation of household current can affect the final outcome of your bread load. Also, measure ingredients carefully, and be sure to use fresh ingredients every time you bake. Q2. Why didn't my bread rise completely? A. Check to see whether the kneading rod and kneading blade were firmly attached to the baking pans if there are missing or not installed properly, both the kneading and rising stages can be adversely affected. Check to see whether the yeast was added. And note that you do not need to heat liquids for yeast breads; the machine preheats liquids for you. Q3. Why do may breads and cakes sometimes have unmixed flour on the side crust? A. In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the corners of the baking pan, and will bake onto the sides of the load. When this happens, simply trim off that portion of the outer curst with a sharp knife. Q4. What should I do if I made a mistake in setting the course for baking? A. Simply press the "Reset" button to reset the Baking Degree, course or other settings. Q5. Why can't raisins, nuts, and other such ingredients be added with the other ingredients at the beginning of baking breads and cakes? A. With the mixing and kneading action of the machine, ingredients such as raisins and dried fruit tend to become mashed and misshapen. Adding these items later in the cycle insures that they'll be evenly distributed and will maintain their shape in the loaf or cake. Q6. Why does smoke sometimes come from the steam vent during the cycle? A. Flour dust and other residue inside the unit occasionally falls on the heating cild and burn onto the coil. White not usually cause for alarm, it's best to prevent this from happening by wiping out the inside of the machine with a damp cloth after each use. Q7. Why does the display panel blink "Hot" when I insert the baking pan? A. If you insert the baking pan with ingredients and program the machine immediately after a previous recipe was baked, the machine will be too warm to start the process again . Open the lid to cook the inside; the "Hot" signal will turn off automatically when the machine is ready to start again. Q8. Why does the machine panel blink "Error" when I have programmed my machine to start? A. There could be several reasons for this. If the interior temperature of the machine is too warm (from just using the machine to bake a previous recipe), the machine will not begin until it has cooked down to the proper temperature. If you have set the "Memory" timer or the "Timer" to finish in less that 4 hours (or 4 hours, 40 minutes for French bread), or more than 13 hours from the present time, the machine will show an error message. Press the "reset" key to reset to correct time. Also, if the "Memory" key has bee pressed at another setting besides "Basic White Bread" or "French bread," the machine will show an error message, since the memory works only on the white bread and French bread settings. - 16 -
