Specific Program Notes:
- Bread Programs (Basic, French, Whole Wheat, Sweet, Rapid): These programs handle the entire process from kneading to baking. Follow the recipe booklet for specific ingredient ratios.
- Dough Program: This program kneads and allows the dough to rise, but does not bake it. Ideal for pizza dough, rolls, or pastries that will be baked in a conventional oven.
- Jam Program: Use this program for making homemade jams. Ensure fruits are chopped and sugar is added according to a suitable recipe.
- Yogurt Program: This program maintains a consistent temperature for fermenting yogurt. Follow specific yogurt recipes for best results.
6. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak

- Ontkoppel altyd die toestel en laat dit heeltemal afkoel voordat dit skoongemaak word.
- Broodpan en kniestokkies: Remove the bread pan and paddles. Wash them with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as this can damage the non-stick coating. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Buitekant: Vee die buitekant van die broodmasjien af met 'n sagte, damp lap. Moenie harde chemikalieë of skuur skoonmaakmiddels gebruik nie.
- Deksel: Die deksel kan skoongevee word met advertensieamp cloth. Ensure no water enters the ventilation slots.
- Bakkamer: Gebruik 'n sagte, damp lap om die binnekant van die bakkamer af te vee. Verwyder enige krummels of oorskot.
