Before First Use

• The packaging should contain the breadmaker, two bread pans, two large kneading paddles, 2 small kneading paddles, a measuring cup, a measuring spoon, and the instruction manual.
• Remove all packaging materials and keep them away from children.
• Check if all additional parts are there and whether you have removed them all from the packaging.
• Please verify if your breadmaker has not suffered any damage during transport.
• Clean your breadmaker, bread pan, and kneading paddle with a damp cloth.
• The bread pan and the kneading paddle both have a non-stick coating to prevent dough from sticking to them.
• You must therefore never clean these parts with cleaning products, a sponge, or a dishwashing brush.
• A damp cloth will do to clean them.
• It is perfectly harmless for your appliance to emit a bit of smoke when you use it for the first time.
• The quality of the baked bread will depend on a whole range of factors.
• Please make sure all ingredients are at room temperature and that you keep to the correct amount of each ingredient, as indicated in the recipes.

Ingredients

Baking a great bread will largely depend on 3 main factors: quality, freshness, and correct measurement of quantities.

Flour

Flour is the basic component of bread. The weight of the flour varies, depending on the type of flour used. It is therefore necessary that you weigh the right quantity on a pair of scales. Please make sure you buy a variety of flour that is suitable for bread making. Check the packing.

Yeast

This ability is ideal for the bread to rise and to make it lighter and easier to digest. We recommend the use of dry yeast for this breadmaker. This (granular) yeast is easier to work with, keeps for a longer time than fresh yeast, and generally gives you a better result as well.

Salt

Salt not only lends the bread a certain flavour but also regulates the activity of the yeast, strengthens the dough, and prevents the bread from rising too hard.

Butter/Oil

Butter and oil improve the general taste of the bread and equally soften it. Butter or oil should both be at room temperature when you add them to the other ingredients.

Sugar

Sugar is the nutrient that the yeast feeds on and is of great importance for the bread’s rising process. You can use plain white sugar, brown sugar, syrup, or honey. Sugar lends the bread a certain soft and delicate flavour, increases its nutritional value, and also renders the bread less perishable. Look out: you should not use unrefi ned sugar or sugar lumps when you want to make, e.g., cinnamon bread, for they can damage the non-stick coating of the bread pan.

Water

When the flour mixes with the water, the gluten will form, and air can no longer enter, thus enabling 3 the bread to rise. At normal temperature, you should use tepid water to make bread: cold water will not activate the yeast, and warm water will achieve the opposite result.

Milk

Milk adds greatly to the colour of the bread (brown for the crust, creamy on the inside), improves the overall taste of the bread, and increases its nutritional value. Should you choose to use fresh milk, do not forget to reduce the amount of water in order to maintain the right level of humidity. CAREFUL: Do not use fresh milk if you are going to choose the baking program with the time delay function, for the milk could turn sour.

Other Ingredients

In some cookery books, you may come across recipes requiring the use of herbs, nuts, currants, fruit, or vegetables. Always use fresh ingredients. When you want to use nuts, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, or similar ingredients, we recommend that they be soaked in water and dried before adding them to the dough. Always ensure these ingredients are not too large, for they may damage the non-stick coating.

Programs

1. Program 1: Basic is 
   the most frequently used program for baking white bread.
2. Program 2: whole wheat
   This program is best used for making heavier breads, such as multi-grain or whole wheat. These breads will be smaller than white bread, because the flour is heavier.
3. Program 3: French
   The kneading and rising time for this program is longer than with the basic program.
4. Program 4: quick
   This program can be used for baking bread within a limited amount of time.
5. Program 5: sweet
   This program is suited for making sweet breads such as raisin bread.
6. Program 6: Cake

7. Program 7: jam
   For making delicious fresh jam. Attention! Make sure to remove the pips from the fruit before adding it to the baking pan. Sharp pips can damage the anti-adhesive layer.
8. Program 8: dough
   With this program, you can only make dough.
9. Program 9: ultra fast
   To make a fresh loaf of bread weighing 700g in a bit more than 1 hour.

Cleaning

Before cleaning your bread maker, please ensure it is no longer activated, it has sufficiently cooled down, and the plug has been disconnected from the power socket.

Exterior/Interior

Clean the outside of your appliance and its viewing window with a damp cloth or a sponge. Take out the bread pan before you start cleaning. If necessary, you can clean the exterior of the appliance with a mild detergent. Gently clean the inside of the appliance with a lightly damp cloth. Be careful when cleaning the heating element.

Bread Pan

You can clean the bread pan with warm water. Be careful not to damage the non-stick coating. In case the kneading paddle gets stuck, allow the bread pan to cool down completely. Next, gently pour a little bit of warm water into the bread pan until the kneading paddle is under water. The sticky bits will dissolve, and you will be able to remove the kneading paddle easily. Never use cleaning products or dishwashing brushes, for they may damage the nonstick coating of the bread pan. The bread pan must not be cleaned in the dishwasher.r

Troubleshooting

Several factors can cause your bread to fail. In the following list, st you wifind nd a series of problems and possible solutions.

The bread is too dry

Try using less flour or add a tablespoonful of liquid. While your bread maker is kneading fairly heavy dough or when you have programmed longer kneading times, the appliance may occasionally tremble a bit.

The bread is Flat

If you are using ground flour or wholemeal flour, your bread tends to be somewhat flatter. If your bread does not rise at all, you need to check the yeast. Have you thought of adding the yeast? If the bread has only risen a little bit, the yeast you used may have been too old. Too hot or too cold water also breaks the yeast’s activity. Please also verify whether you have not used too much salt.

Error on the Display

If you see the indication “H: HH” appearing on the display after you have pressed the start button, this means that your bread maker has not sufficiently cooled down yet. It is necessary to allow your appliance to cool down for another 10 to 20 minutes, with its lid open. Please contact your store.

FAQs

Q: How large is the loaf?

You can usually choose from a variety of loaf sizes with the B3955, which normally range from 500 g to 1,000 g. Look at the settings for your particular model to see what options are available.

Q: Do I need to preheat the machine?

No, throughout the program, the bread maker automatically heats and kneads at the appropriate moments.

Q: How do I add yeast correctly?

The yeast should be added last and apart from the wet ingredients. During loading, keep yeast away from salt since this can reduce yeast activity.

Q: Can I use gluten-free flour?

Indeed. A gluten-free program for flours such as ch rice, buckwheat, or gluten-free blends is built into the bread maker. For optimal results, stick to gluten-free recipes.

Q: Can I open the lid during operation?

To verify the consistency of the dough, you can only open the cover while kneading. Don’t open it while baking or rising.

Q: Can I add nuts, seeds, or fruits?

Indeed. The device might have an automated dispenser for ingredients. If not, during the second kneading cycle, when the machine beeps, add mix-ins.

Q: Can I make dough without baking it in the machine?

Indeed. After kneading and rising the dough with the “Dough” program, shape it and bake it in a conventional oven.

Q: Can I bake a cake or prepare jam?

Indeed. There are specific Cake and Jam programs in the B3955. Adhere to bread machine cycle-appropriate recipes.
