Getting to Know Your
Bread Maker
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Rachel Allen Bread Maker.
Before first using your Bread Maker, it is important
that you read and follow the instructions
in this use and care booklet, even if you feel your
are quite familiar with this type of appliance.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the section
dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. Find
a place and keep this booklet handy for future
reference.
This appliance has been designed to operate
from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not
intended for industrial or commercial use.
Preparing Your Bread
Maker for Use
• Carefully unpack your Bread Maker. Remove
all packaging materials and discard or retain
for future use.
• Remove the baking pan. Wipe the baking
chamber with a soft damp cloth or sponge.
Never use abrasive or strong household
cleaners since they may damage the finish of
the chamber.
• Wash the baking pan with warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Grease the bread pan and return to the
chamber and bake empty for approximately 10
minutes. Clean once more.
• Return the baking pan to the chamber and
place the kneading bar on the axle in the
baking area. Your Bread Maker is now ready
for use.

Timer Delay Buttons ( Timer )
Use to delay the starting process of the bread for
all programs except, Fast bake, Pasta and Bake.
Menu Button
Used to select the program (1 - 11) required.
Note: If the display shows 0:00, press the
Start/Stop button to activate the Menu
setting mode. You can then select the
menu desired.
Program Descriptions
1. Basic White (3:18 and 3:25)
For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured
breads with added herbs and raisins.
2. French (3:32 and 3:35)
For the baking of light weight bread such as
French bread which has a crisper crust and
light texture.
3. Wholewheat (3:33 and 3:40)
For the baking of bread containing significant
amounts of wholewheat. This setting has a
longer preheat time to allow the grain to soak
up the water and expand. The kneading blade
does not turn during this 15 minute rest period.
It is not advised to use the delay timer as this
can produce poor results. It has been found
that some wholemeal flours perform better on
the basic menu setting.
4. Sweet (3:22 and 3:27)
For the baking of sweet type bread which
gives a crisper crust than on basic setting.
The crisper crust is produced by the sugar
‘burning’.
5. Fastbake (1:20) Small Loaves
For preparation of a small white loaf in a
reduced time period. Loaves made on this
setting can be shorter and the texture more
moist. Water temperature 35-45°C.
6. Fastbake (1:20) Large Loaves
For preparation of a large white loaf in a
reduced time period. Loaves made on this
setting can be shorter and the texture more
moist. Water temperature 35-45°C.
7. Cake (1:43)
This setting will mix ingredients and then bake
for a preset time. It is required to mix two
groups of ingredients in bowls before adding to
the breadmaker (see cake recipes). Selecting
the loaf size as large will bake the cake longer
for a crispier crust.

Operating the Bread
Maker
Before first using your bread maker, please read
the instruction manual carefully and ensure the
voltage of your electricity supply is the same as
that indicated on the rating label on the appliance.
1. Take Out the Pan
Open the lid and remove the pan by lifting the
handle, pull firmly upwards. Place on the work
surface. It is important that the pan is filled with
ingredients outside the machine so that any
accidental spillage does not get into the unit.
2. Attach the Blades
Attach the kneading blades to the shaft by
pushing down on them.
3. Measure Ingredients
Measure the ingredients required and add
them all into the pan in the order listed. See
later section ‘Measuring Ingredients’.
When adding the yeast to the baking pan, take
care that the yeast does not come into contact
with the water or any other liquid, as it will start
to activate immediately.
Use tepid water 21-28°C.
If recipe calls for ingredients to be added like
fruit and nuts etc, add these at the indicated
time (page 20) this reduces the chances of the
added ingredient being chopped.
4. Put Pan Back In
Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker,
press down firmly until it locks in place. You
will hear a click. Close the lid.
5. Plug In
Plug into the power supply. The breadmaker
will automatically be set to basic bread menu
and normal time.
Each time you press a button you will hear a
beep to confirm.
8. Dough (1:30)
This setting only makes the dough and will not
bake the final bread. Remove the dough and
shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any
dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not
exceed 1kg (2lb) of combined ingredients.
9. Pasta (0:20)
The pasta setting is a 30 minute knead which
can be used for general mixing of other flour
based recipes. Do not exceed 3 cups of dry
mix.
10.Jam (1:05)
Use this setting for making jams from fresh
fruits and marmalade from Seville oranges. Do
not increase the quantity or allow the recipe
to boil over the pan into the baking chamber.
Should this happen, stop the machine
immediately. Remove the pan carefully, allow
to cool a little and clean thoroughly.
11.Bake (0:10)
This setting is bake only and can be used to
increase the baking time on selected settings.
This is especially useful to help ‘set’ jams and
marmalade. When started the default time is
10 mins (0:10) minimum and counts down in
1 minute intervals. You will have to manually
switch this off by pressing the stop button,
when you have completed the bake process. It
is advised that you check the condition of the
bread or jam after 10 minutes and at 10 minute
intervals. Pressing increases the time in
increments of 10 minutes up to maximum 1
hour.
Note: When selecting bake straight after
another program, if the message E:01 is
displayed, open the lid, remove the pan
and allow to cool for 10 minutes. When
cool, replace the baking pan and its
contents, set program and press start.
Times indicated are for loaf size option, crust
colour selection will vary these times. See cycle
chart page 20.
Rapid
The rapid function is available on Basic White,
Wholewheat and French settings. For bread that
is required in a shorter time. Bread baked on this
setting is usually smaller with a dense texture.
First set the menu required 1, 2 or 3 then press
the colour button to select rapid.

6. Select Program
Choose the desired setting from the list by
pressing the Menu button.
7. Select Weight
Press Loaf size button to choose between
Small or Large.
8. Select Colour
Choose desired crust colour by pressing
Colour button. This is also used to select the
Rapid setting.
9. Select the Delay Time
If you require the bread to be ready later,
set the time delay now, as described in next
section.
10.Start
Press the Start/Stop button to start the
machine The remaining time will count down in
one minute increments.
11.Progress
The breadmaker will automatically proceed
through the programmed stages as shown in
the ‘Baking cycle times’ section.
It is possible that steam will escape through
the vents during baking, this is normal.
12.Finish
When the program is completed and the
bread is baked the display shows 0:00 and the
beeper will sound. The display then defaults
back to program time.
13.Keep Warm Function
The keep warm function will circulate hot
air for a further 60 minutes on most settings
(see ‘Baking cycle times’ section). For best
results, remove the baking pan and loaf within
this period or when the initial program is
completed. Beeps will be heard when the keep
warm period is finished. Press STOP to end
the keep warm process.
14.Removal
Press Stop. Open the lid, and remove the
baking fin.
WARNING: Use oven gloves when
removing the baking pan (taking care as
it is very hot).
15.Removal of the Bread
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10
minutes, then turn the pan upside down and
tap the bread from the pan onto a rack to cool.
If the blade remains in the pan, fill the pan with
warm water to loosen the blade and prevent it
from sticking to the shaft.
The kneading blades normally stay in the loaf.
Wait until the loaf is cool and then remove the
blade with a wooden or plastic utensil to avoid
damage to the non-stick surface.
16.Always press STOP and unplug the appliance
after use.
Do not open the lid whilst the breadmaker
is operating as this will affect the quality
of the bread, especially its ability to rise
properly. Only open the lid when the recipe
needs you to add additional ingredients,
see recipes.
Room Temperature Note
The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of
temperatures, but there could be a difference in
loaf size between a very warm room and a very
cold room. We recommend the room temperature
to be between 15°C and 30°C.

Using the Timer
The bread maker is equiped with a 13 hour delay
timer. This enables you to wake up to freshly
baked bread in the morning. Do not use this
function with recipes that use perishable
ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream,
or cheese.
1. Decide when you want the bread to be ready
and calculate the difference in time between
now and then. For example, if you want a loaf
at 8am, and it is now 9:00pm, the difference is
11 hours.
2. Enter this time by pressing ‘Time and ‘Time
’ buttons. Arrows will move the time up or
down in 10 minute increments. After you have
pressed Start, the colon (:) will flash.
If you have selected the wrong time press stop
for 2 seconds. The timer will go back to the
program time, repeat step 1 and 2.
3. The timer delay is up to a maximum of 13
hours.* This is when the bread will be ready to
remove from the machine, see page 6 item 14
‘Removal’.
When the timer is used it may not be
convenient to add additional ingredients at the
time required. You can add these ingredients
before the flour, however they may get
chopped up.
Beeper
The beeper sounds:
• when pressing any button;
• when the program finishes;
• when keep warm finishes;
• during the 2nd knead cycle of certain
programs to indicate that fruit, nuts or other
ingredients can be added.
Power Interuption
1. After a brief power supply failure 7 minutes
MAX.
When the power is reconnected the
breadmaker will continue the set programme
automatically.
If it has gone beyond this time and the
breadmaker has defaulted back to the start
time, you must either:
i) If the program has not reached rise 1, select
the program required and press start.
ii) If the program has passed rise 1, the
ingredients will have to be discarded and you
must start again with fresh ingredients.
Slicing and Storing
Bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and
allow to cool for 20-40 minutes before slicing.
Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a
serrated blade for even slices.
Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic
bag at room temperature for up to three days. If
weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator
overnight.
For longer storage (up to one month), place bread
in a tightly covered container in the freezer.
If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it
out to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Since homemade bread has no preservatives
it tends to dry out and become stale faster than
commercially made bread, after 4 to 5 days.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into
1.3cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and
used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread
pudding, or stuffing.
