Once you have unpacked your breadmaker and removed all packaging materials remove any dust that may have
accumulated on the breadmaker during packing with a clean damp cloth, also remove the Baking Pan ‚and
Kneading Blade „and give these a quick wash.
Once dry, use some cooking oil, butter or margarine to grease the Baking Pan ‚. Put the pan back in the
breadmaker and bake empty for around 10 minutes on the Extra Bake programme. To do this press the
Programme Button Âtwelve times until programme number 13 appears in the top left corner of the digital display.
Press the Start/Stop button Èto start the bake.
After 10 minutes press the Start/Stop button to end the bake. Remove the Baking Pan from the machine and
clean once again, be careful as the pan will be hot. Leave your breadmaker to cool for around 10 minutes and
then you are ready to start baking.
Before You Start
We highly recommend that you read through this Instruction Book before you use your breadmaker. We do however also
understand that you will be really keen to get baking and so have pulled together the following 10 Step Quick Start Guide which
takes you through the process of making a Basic White 2lb loaf.
Follow these instructions to the letter and in around 3 hours you will have a delicious homemade white loaf ready to eat,
remember to go back to your Instruction Book though if you have any problems as the solution to most issues will be found in
here:
10 Step Quick Start Guide
4
Firstly plug in and switch on your machine at the wall socket. The
breadmaker will default to programme 1, 2lb weight and the 3rd crust
setting and will take 3 hours to bake.
1Lift and turn the Baking Pan ‚ anti-clockwise and remove the Baking Pan
from the breadmaker.
Take your Baking Pan and insert the Kneading Blade „ onto the Rotating
Shaft ‰in the Baking Pan, don’t put the pan in the breadmaker yet
though.
2
Next you need to measure your ingredients. The key and most important
step to successful results is measuring your ingredients precisely and
accurately and then adding them to the Baking Pan in the exact order
given in the recipe. You will have found a number of measuring implements
that came with your machine to help you accurately measure your
ingredients so make sure you use these!
Make sure you use tepid water (21-28oC) and when adding yeast that it
does not come into contact with the water, or it will activate immediately.
3Once all your ingredients are in the Baking Pan insert the pan securely into
the breadmaker, turning the pan clockwise to lock it into place. Then close
the Lid ›.

Close the lid of the breadmaker and push the start button È on the
control panel. The breadmaker will then start kneading your ingredients.
6To check on the progress of your bread during cooking we have put a
Viewing Window ¤in the top of the Lid, don’t be tempted to open the Lid
during the baking process though as this will affect the final results of your
bread.
7When the loaf has finished baking the breadmaker will beep for 3 seconds*
and then automatically go into keep warm mode for 60 minutes. The LCD
Display will count up in minutes, and the flashing loaf icon will appear.
The loaf is ready at this time and can be removed, there is no need to use
or keep the loaf in the breadmaker for the duration of the keep warm
setting. Switch off the breadmaker.
8To remove the loaf from the breadmaker lift the lid, raise the handle on the
Baking Pan and turn anti-clockwise to unlock the pan from the
breadmaker. Be careful when you remove the Baking Pan from the
breadmaker as this will be very hot, make sure you use oven gloves!
9
Allow the bread to cool in the Baking Pan for 15 minutes then turn the Pan
upside down and tap the bread from the Pan onto a rack to cool.
The Kneading Blade „ will sometimes stay in the loaf when it is removed
from the Baking Pan. Once the loaf has cooled remove the Kneading Blade
with a wooden or plastic utensil.
1 0
Once you have removed the Kneading Blade, clean throughly along
with the Baking Pan ‚ and Rotating Shaft ‰. After cleaning apply
a little sunflower oil to the rotating shaft before replacing the
Kneading Blade and you will be ready for your next homemade loaf.
Enjoy your first delicious homemade loaf!

1. Selecting the Programme
Your breadmaker has a number of programmes for creating a
variety of different breads, doughs and even jam. A summary
of each programme featured on your breadmaker is detailed
below. To select the programme you want simply press the
‘Programme’ button Âuntil the programme number you want
appears in the top left corner of the screen Í. You will see the
baking time displayed on the LCD Display flin hours and
minutes with this counting down once baking commences. You
will also notice when you go further through the programming
process that the baking time will automatically update based on
the options you choose.
1 Basic white and brown (2:51 - 3:00)
For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with
added herbs and raisins as well as gluten free packet mixes.
2 Wholewheat (3:32 - 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. It is not advised to use
the delay timer as this can produce poor results.
3 Sweet (2:35 - 2:45)
For the baking of sweet type bread which gives a crisper crust
than on basic setting. The crisper crust is produced by the
sugar caramelising.
4 Sandwich (2:55 - 3:00)
This is to bake light texture bread but with a softer and thicker
crust.
5 French (3:30 - 3:50)
For the baking of light weight bread such as French bread
which has a crisper crust and light texture.
6 Dough (1:30)
This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the 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.
7 Jam (1:20)
Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits and
marmalade. Do not increase the quantity or allow the recipe to
boil over the Baking Pan into the baking chamber. Should this
happen, stop the machine immediately. Remove the Baking Pan
carefully, allow to cool a little and clean thoroughly.
8 Bread mixes (2:30)
For preparation of approximately a 1lb loaf, using a packet of
shop bought bread mix. These mixes usually come in two
varieties: ‘Just add water’ and ‘Just add flour and water’.
9 Speciality (2:50)
The bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a more
moist and dense texture. These breads do not use bread flour.
10 Gluten Free (2:35)
Using this setting you can create gluten free (yeast levened)
bread. Coeliacs once diagnosed can gain gluten free flour on
prescription from their doctor. Gluten free bread mixes are also
available on prescription and in supermarkets, we however
recommend baking these on Programme 1 as opposed to
Programme 10 for best results.
11 Fastbake I (1:25)
For preparation of a 1.5lb white loaf in a reduced time period.
Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture
more moist. For best results use the very dark crust setting.
12 Fastbake II (1:25)
For preparation of a 2lb white loaf in a reduced time period.
Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture
more moist. For best results use the very dark crust setting.
13 Extra bake (1:00)
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
1 hour (1:00) minimum and counts down in 10 minute intervals.
You will have to manually switch this off by pressing the start
/stop button, when you have completed the Extra bake
process. It is advised that you check the condition of the bread
or jam after 10 minutes and at 10 minute intervals. Pressing the
Timer Controls + Êincreases the time in increments of 10
minutes. When selecting Extra bake straight after another
programme, if the message H:HH is displayed, open the Lid,
remove the Baking Pan and allow to cool for 10 minutes. When
cool, replace the Baking Pan and its contents, set programme
and press start.
14 Pizza dough* (0:50)
This setting can be used to mix plain or flavoured pizza dough,
as well as fresh pasta dough. Once the programme is complete,
the dough can be removed from the machine and shaped into
pizza bases to be cooked in the oven, or cut into pasta to be
boiled.
15 Quick* (1:40)
For white bread that is required in a shorter time. Bread baked
on this setting is usually smaller with a dense texture.
16 Cake* (1:10)
Your Morphy Richards breadmaker can also be used to bake a
selection of cakes. The process is as simple as making bread;
just follow the recipes provided on pages 22 and 24.
Alternatively you can also use the machine to make cakes from
a cake mix where all you need to do is add water. In this
instance, you should ensure the mixture is combined with the
water before adding it to the machine.
17 Dessert* (2:50)
This setting allows you to make other desserts as well as cakes
in your breadmaker. The process is again straightforward and
simple; just follow the recipes carefully on page 25.

Over the following pages we will take you through an introduction to your new breadmaker. We will show you
detailed information on each of the steps involved with programming your breadmaker including selecting the
programme, selecting the loaf size and measuring the ingredients. As we go through the guide we will cover all
the key features and benefits of your breadmaker including the various baking programmes. We suggest you
spend some time reading through these clearly as the more you read the more you will be able to create with your
new machine.
Using Your Breadmaker
48327 ammended_x 27/10/2011 13:53 Page 6
2. Selecting the Loaf Size
• There are 3 different size loaves which can be made, depending
upon which programme you use. The loaf size icons are:
• To select your loaf size, press the ‘Loaf Size’ button Ëuntil the
correct size of loaf appears in the bottom left hand corner of
the screen Ó.
Note: Only the loaf sizes available for the programme selected
will appear. Keep pressing the button until you get to the size
you want.
3. Selecting the Crust Setting
You can choose from 5 different crust settings.
• Press the ‘Crust Control’ button Áuntil the symbol for the
crust setting you want appears.
4. Measuring the Ingredients
The key and most important step when using your breadmaker
is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately. It is
extremely important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient
properly or it could result in a poor or unacceptable baking
result. Do not use normal kitchen teaspoons or tablespoons.
The ingredients must also be added into the Baking Pan in the
order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid and dry
ingredients should be measured as follows:
Measuring cup
The cup is marked in various ‘volume measurement’ scales. The
recipes in this book use the ‘cup’ volume which is based on the
‘American’ cup of 8 floz and is conveniently marked in 1/16
divisions.
You must use a good quality set of accurate scales, we prefer
to use the ‘cup’ measure for consistency and accuracy.
Liquid measurements
Use the cup provided A Û. When reading amounts, the
measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat surface and
viewed at eye level (not on an angle). The liquid level line must
be aligned to the mark of measurement.
A ‘guesstimate’ is not good enough as it could throw out the
critical balance of the recipe.
Dry measurements
Dry measurements must be done using the measuring cup
provided A Ù or using a set of weighing scales. Dry
measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into
the measuring cup and then once filled, levelling off with a knife
B. Tapping a measuring cup will pack the ingredients and you
will end up with more than is required. This extra amount could
affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless
stated.
When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients
there are two double ended spoons (one for dry ingredients and
one for liquid) and one single ended spoon (used primarily for
dry ingredients) C. Measurements must be level, not heaped
as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of
the recipe B.
Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods with ease.
This machine requires only that you carefully follow the recipe
instructions. In basic cooking, normally ‘a pinch of this and a
dash of that’ is fine, but not for breadmakers. Using an
automatic breadmaker requires you to accurately measure each
ingredient for best results.
• Always add ingredients in the order they are listed in the recipe.
• Please note that the measuring cups are based on the
American standard 8 fluid ounce cup, NOT the 10 fluid ounce
British cup.
• Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do not use
larger amounts.

5. Using the Timer
• Once you have chosen the programme, loaf size and crust
setting, you can either bake the loaf immediately or delay the
loaf baking time to end in up to 12 hours time. Go to ‘Baking
The Loaf’ section to bake the loaf immediately.
• NOTE: The timer cannot be used with the Fastbake, dough and
jam programmes.
• NOTE: Do not use this function with recipes that use perishable
ingredients such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream or cheese.
• Press the ‘Delay Timer + or -’ buttons Êto delay the finish time
of your loaf.
A single press of the ‘+’ will add 10 minutes to the time or press
and hold the ‘+’ button to scroll faster through the time. The ‘-’
button only becomes active once the ‘+’ has been pressed.
• The Delay symbol Ïshows on the screen as the cycle time
updates. The total time shown on the screen will include the
baking time and delay. For example, if a loaf takes 3 hours to
bake and you have delayed the start of baking for 5 hours, the
screen will countdown from 8 hours with the Delay Indicator Ï
showing on the screen. When the baking starts, the Delay
Indicator symbol will disappear as the delay has finished.
6. Filling the Fruit and Nut
Dispenser*
• If you have selected a recipe that uses the Fruit and Nut
Dispenser, you should fill it now. The dispenser should be filled
with one cupful of dry ingredients using the measuring cup
provided. Please ensure that you do not overfill the dispenser as
this may stop it from functioning.
• If filling the dispenser with fruit, check that the fruit is separated
before adding it. Failure to do so may result in the dispenser not
functioning, or the fruit not being distributed evenly through the
bread mixture. Ideally, fruit should be dusted with flour prior to
being added to the dispenser to stop it from sticking together.
* Only applies to model 48325.
7. Baking the Loaf
• To bake the loaf press the ‘Start/Stop’ button Èand the
breadmaker will start baking the loaf.
• During the baking process several other icons will appear on
the screen, which denote which stage of baking the programme
is currently at.
• The numbers indicated by Ìrelate to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd
‘Knead’ and ‘Rise’ stage. Every loaf follows the same process of
1st knead, 1st rise, 2nd knead, 2nd rise, and finally a 3rd rise.
•is the symbol which shows on the LCD display for
‘kneading’ and Òis the symbol which shows on the LCD for
‘rising’. The numbers ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ Ìshow accordingly.
• When the loaf has finished baking the breadmaker will beep for
3 seconds and the breadmaker automatically goes into ‘Keep
warm’ mode (Úflashes) for 60 minutes. These minutes are
counted up on the display.
• The ‘Start/Stop’ button Ècan be pressed at any time during
the keep warm function to stop it so the bread can be removed.
8. Pause Function
• Press the ‘Start’ button Èduring or up to the end of the first
knead to pause the programme for 5 minutes.
9. Beeper
The beeper sounds:
• When pressing any button
• During the second kneading cycle of certain programmes to
indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or other ingredients can be
added. (On 48325 the fruits and nuts are added automatically.)
• When the programme finishes.
• When keep warm finishes.
10. Internal Light*
•The light symbol is on the same button as the ‘Light /
Programme Selection’ button Â
•You can press this button during any part of the baking process
and it will stay on for 20 seconds. The LCD display light will
automatically switch off after 20 seconds to conserve power
when in standby, keep warm and delay time mode. To re
illuminate the display light to view the progress, press this
button.
Hints and Tips
• Place all recipe ingredients into the Baking Pan so that yeast is
not touching any liquid.
• If you are using the machine on the Dough setting (programme
6), after the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the
breadmaker, cover in a thin coating of sunflower oil and cover
with greaseproof paper and a dry tea towel. The dough should
then be left in a warm area free from draughts, for
approximately 30 minutes or until it has roughly doubled in size.
• Humidity can cause problems, therefore humidity and high
altitudes require adjustments. For high humidity, add an extra
tablespoon of flour if consistency is not right. For high altitudes,
decrease yeast amount by approximately 1/4 teaspoon, and
decrease sugar and/or water or milk slightly.
• The dough setting is great for the mixing, kneading and proofing
(allowing dough to rise) of richer doughs like croissant dough.
Use the breadmaker to prepare this dough so all you need to do
is shape and bake it according to your recipe.
• When recipes call for a ‘lightly floured surface,’ use about 1 to 2
tablespoons of flour on the surface. You may want to lightly flour
your fingers or rolling pin for easy dough manipulation.
• When you let dough ‘rest’ and ‘rise’ according to a recipe, place
it in a warm, draught-free area. If the dough does not double in
size, it may not produce a tender product.
• If the dough you are rolling shrinks back, let it rest covered for a
few minutes before rolling again.
• Dough may be wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer for
later use. Bring the dough to room temperature before using.
• After 5 minutes of kneading, open the Lid and check the dough
consistency. The dough should form a soft, smooth ball. If too
dry, add liquid. If too wet, add flour (1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a
time).
• Since homemade bread has no preservatives it tends to dry out
and become stale faster than commercially made bread.
• 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.)
*Only available on 43825 model
48327 ammended_x 27/10/2011 13:53 Page 8
•Room temperature
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 should be between 15ºC and 34ºC.
All ingredients, including the machine and pan, and
especially liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to
room temperature 21°C (70°F). If ingredients are too cold,
below 10°C (50°F), they will not activate the yeast. Hot liquids,
above 40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast.
•Glazing
Give your just baked bread a professional finish. Select one of
the following special glazes to enhance your bread.
•Egg glaze
Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water together, brush
generously. Note: this glaze is only for bread where the dough
has been prepared in the breadmaker and is then being baked
in the oven. The glaze should be applied when the dough is
removed from the breadmaker. Do not apply this glaze to
doughs in the breadmaker.
Melted butter crust
Brush melted butter over just baked bread for a softer, tender
crust.
Milk glaze
For a softer, shiny crust, brush just baked bread with milk or
cream.
Sweet icing glaze
Mix 1 cup sifted icing sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to
make a glaze consistency and drizzle over raisin bread or sweet
breads.
Poppy/Sesame/Caraway seed/Oatmeal
Sprinkle your choice of these seeds generously over just glazed
bread.
Understanding Baking
It is often said that cooking is an art relying on the creativity of
the chef, while baking bread is much more of a science. This
means that the process of combining flour, water and yeast,
results in a reaction that produces bread. You have to remember
that when the ingredients combine with each other they
produce a specific result. Read the following information
carefully to gain a better understanding of the importance each
ingredient plays in the breadmaking process.
In all of the recipes you create yourself, never exceed a total
amount of 5 cups of dry ingredients (that includes the total
amount of flour, oats, oatmeal, bran.) Also do not exceed the
total amount of 3 tsp of yeast and 5 tsp of baking powder.
Using the Right Ingredients
Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different by virtue of
how they were grown, milled, stored, etc. You may find that you
will have to experiment with different brands of flour to help you
make that perfect loaf. Storage is also very important, as all
flours should be kept in an airtight container.
All purpose flour/plain flour
All purpose flour is a blend of refined hard and soft wheat flours
especially suitable for making cake.
This type of flour should be used for recipes in the cake/quick
bread section.
Strong white flour/bread flour
Bread flour is a high gluten/protein flour that has been treated
with conditioners that give dough a greater suitability for
kneading. Bread flour typically has a higher gluten
concentration than All purpose flour; however, depending on
different milling practices, this may vary. Strong plain flour or
bread flour are recommended for use with this breadmaker.
Wholewheat flour/ wholemeal flour
Wholewheat flour/wholemeal flour is milled from the entire
wheat kernel which contains the bran and germ and makes it
heavier and richer in nutrients than white flour. Breads made
with this flour are usually smaller and heavier than white loaves.
To overcome this wholewheat flour/wholemeal flour can be
mixed with Bread flour or strong plain flour to produce a lighter
textured bread.
Self-raising flour
Self-raising Flour contains unnecessary leavening ingredients
that will interfere with bread and cake making. It is not
recommended for use.
Bran
Bran (unprocessed) & Wheat Germ are the coarse outer
portions of the wheat or rye grains separated from flour by
sifting or bolting. They are often added in small quantities to
bread for nutritional enrichment, heartiness and flavour. They are
also used to enhance the texture of bread.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal comes from rolled or steel-cut oats. They are used
primarily to enhance flavour and texture.
Yeasts (active dry yeast)
Yeast through a fermentation process produces gas (carbon
dioxide) necessary to make the bread rise. Yeast must be able
to feed on sugar and flour carbohydrates in order to produce
this gas. Fast action granular yeast is used in all recipes that call
for yeast. There are three different types of yeast available: fresh,
traditional dry active, and fast action. It is recommended that
fast action yeast be used. Fresh or compressed cake yeast is
not recommended as they will produce poor results. Store yeast
according to manufacturers instructions. Ensure your yeast is
fresh by checking its expiration date. Once a package or can of
yeast is opened it is important that the remaining contents be
immediately resealed and refrigerated as soon as possible for
future use. Often bread or dough, which fails to rise is due to
stale yeast being used. The following test can be used to
determine whether your yeast is stale and inactive:
1 Place half a cup of lukewarm water into a small bowl or cup.
2Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast
over the surface.
3Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow to sit for 10 minutes
undisturbed.
4The mixture should foam and produce a strong yeast aroma. If
this does not occur, discard mixture and start again with
another packet of dried yeast.
Sugar
Sugar is important for the colour and flavour of breads. It is also
food for the yeast as it is part of the fermentation process.
Artificial sweeteners cannot be used as a substitute for sugar as
the yeast will not react properly with them.

Salt
Salt is necessary to balance the flavour of breads and cakes, as
well as for the crust colour that develops during baking. Salt
also limits the growth of yeast so the amounts shown in the
recipes should not be increased. For dietary reasons it may be
reduced, however, your baking may suffer.
Liquids/milk
Liquids such as milk or a combination of powdered milk and
water, can be used when making bread. Milk will improve
flavour, provide a velvety texture and soften the crust, while
water alone will produce a crispier crust. Some liquids call for
juice (orange, apple, etc) to be added as a flavour enhancer.
Note: For most recipes we suggest the use of dry (powdered)
skimmed milk.
Eggs
Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread doughs and
cakes.
Sunflower oil
‘Shortens’ or tenderises the texture of yeast breads. Butter or
margarine can be used as a substitute. If butter or margarine is
used direct from the refrigerator it should be softened first for
easier blending during the mixing cycle.
Baking powder
Baking powder is a raising agent used in cakes. This type of
raising agent does not require rising time before baking as the
chemical reaction works when liquid ingredients are added.
Bicarbonate of soda
Bicarbonate of soda is another raising agent not to be confused
or substituted for baking powder. It also does not require rising
time before baking as the chemical reaction works during the
baking process.
Bread Mixes
Follow the information for bread mixes on the bread mix packet.
Some brands of bread mixes recommend the use of the basic
programme setting. Our bread mix programme (8) has been
specially developed to achieve the best results from packet
bread mix.
There are 2 types of bread mixes currently available.
1 Just add water.
These mixes are complete and they have all the necessary
ingredients provided, even the yeast. You only add water.
• IMPORTANT: Follow the packet instructions as some mixes
contain more than the normal amount of yeast, which could
over rise in the Baking Pan. Use 3 cups of mix maximum.
• These mixes are more prone to over-rising and collapsing when
the weather is hot and humid. Since these mixes are complete,
we cannot advise how to adjust, as with our own recipes. Bake
in the coolest part of the day, use water between 21-28oC.
2Just add flour and water
These mixes have the necessary ingredients in separate
sachets. Remember strong white bread flour is required. A
packet of this mix will produce a 700g (1.5 lb.)
Ingredient Temperatures
All ingredients, including the machine and pan, and
especially liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to
room temperature 21°C (70°F). If ingredients are too cold,
below 10°C (50°F), they will not activate the yeast. Hot liquids,
above 40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast.
Care and Cleaning
1 Caution: To prevent electrical shock, unplug the unit
before cleaning.
2Wait until the breadmaker has cooled.
• IMPORTANT: Do not immerse or splash either the body or Lid in
any liquid as this may cause damage and/or electric shock.
3Exterior: Wipe the Lid › and outer body of the unit with a
damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge.
4Interior: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the interior of the
breadmaker.
5Baking Pan: Clean the Baking Pan ‚with warm water, soap is
not necessary. Avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Dry it
thoroughly before placing it back in the baking chamber.
6The Fruit and Nut Dispenser ·(only available on model 48325):
The dispenser is removed by sliding the lock catch to the right
and lifting the dispenser out. The dispenser should be cleaned
using warm soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge. It should
be rinsed thoroughly and dried before refitting.
To replace the dispenser, ensure the left side is slotted into
place first. The right side can then be pushed down to lock back
into position.
• Do not wash the Baking Pan ‚, Measuring up, spoon or
Kneading Blade „ in the dishwasher.
• Do not soak the Baking Pan for long periods as this could
interfere with the working of the drive shaft.
• If the Kneading Blade becomes stuck in the Baking Pan, pour
hot water over it and allow to soak for 30 minutes. This will
enable you to remove the Kneading Blade more easily.
• Be sure the appliance is completely cooled before storing away.
Do not use Steel wool pads when cleaning.
• Special care for the non-stick finish. Avoid damaging the
coating. Do not use metal utensils such as spatulas, knives or
forks. The coating may change colour after long use, this is only
caused by moisture and steam and will not affect the
performance of the unit or quality of your bread.
• The hole in the centre of the Kneading Blade should be cleaned,
then add a drop of cooking oil and replace it on the spindle in
the Baking Pan. This will prevent sticking of the Kneading Blade.
• Keep all air vents and openings clear of dust.
• Be sure to dry all parts before storing including wiping any
moisture from the viewing window. Close the Lid and do not
store anything on top of the Lid.

Speciality breads (prog. 9)
Gluten free breads are yeast leavened breads, where gluten (the protein part of the wheat, also found in Oats, Barley and Rye) is
removed. For flour blends and the recipes below use programme 10 (gluten free)
People who cannot tolerate gluten in their diet (known as Coeliacs) can obtain gluten free bread mixes on prescription. It is found in
most high street chemists and health food stores. We recommend baking these on the programme 1 (basic) setting.
Contact the Morphy Richards Helpline (0844 871 0960) for further recipes when available.
Gluten free bread is excellent on the day it is made, but with all Gluten free breads when older than one day will need ‘refreshing’. 2
slices placed in a microwave for 10-15 seconds will usually do this. Any remaining fresh bread can be frozen for storage. To store
Gluten free bread (or any bread) slice the bread, re-assemble the slices back together, wrap the assembled loaf in aluminium foil and
place it in a plastic bag. Store in the freezer until required. The slices will ‘snap’ apart when required and quickly thaw, use the
microwave if required.
Due to the nature of gluten free dough, it may be necessary to help ensure the ingredients are mixed correctly during the
first kneading process.
To do this, open the Lid during the first kneading process (when the icon is displayed on screen) and scrape any
unmixed ingredients which may have become stuck to the side of the Baking Pan down in to the mixture.
Do this using a wooden or plastic spatula to avoid damaging the non-stick coating on the Baking Pan

Important
The cakes produced in this breadmaker will not rise to fill the Baking Pan completely, they will be approximately 55mm (2'') tall. The
standard cake is a Madeira type which is moist, rich and dense in texture. Adjustments to the recipe may be required for personal
taste - less butter and sugar to reduce the richness, less water and/or eggs to reduce moisture.
Variations
Cherries - 1/2 cup cherries halved (wash thoroughly to remove the excess syrup) and allow them to drain and dry on absorbent
paper; or mixed fruit - 1/2 cup or chocolate chips - 1/4 cup.
Add any of these variations into the Baking Pan last, on top of the other ingredients.
This programme can also be used for preparation of a shop bought cake mix. Simply follow the instructions on the packet.

We recommend that you use the cup provided for all recipes for consistency between brands and types of flour.
The cup provided is based on the American cup measurement of 8 Floz.
For people who prefer to use their own measuring utensils, alternative measurements are in millilitres (ml) and cubic centimetres (cc)
for liquid measurement and grams (gm) for weight of flour, sugar and fruit.
Note: A good quality set of accurate kitchen scales with divisions and accuracy to 2 grams are required.
A measuring jug with divisions of 2 ml is required.
The tablespoon and teaspoon provided are required to measure the smaller quantities. A set of British standard spoons with ‘scrape’
level tops can be used.
Do not use a kitchen tablespoon or teaspoon as they are inaccurate.

F.A.Q.
Questions About General
Performance and Operation.
Question 1
What should I do when the Kneading Blade comes out
with the bread?
This is normal, remove it with a pair of plastic tongs before
slicing the bread. Since the Kneading Blade disconnects from
the Baking Pan for cleaning, it is not a malfunction when it
comes out in your bread.
Question 2
Why does my bread sometimes have some flour on
the side crust?
In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the corners of the
Baking Pan. When this happens, simply trim off that portion of
the outer crust with a sharp knife.
Question 3
Why isn't the dough mixing? I can hear the motor
running.
The Kneading Blade or Baking Pan may not be inserted
properly. Make sure the Baking Pan is facing the right way and
that it has ‘clicked’ and seated into the bottom of the
breadmaker.
Question 4
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined on page 21.
Question 5
Why can't I use the timer when baking with fresh
milk?
The milk will spoil if left sitting in the machine too long. Fresh
ingredients such as eggs and milk should never be used with
the delayed timer feature.
Question 6
Why do I have to add the ingredients in a certain
order?
This allows the breadmaker to mix the ingredients in the most
efficient manner possible. It also serves to keep the yeast from
combining with the liquid before the dough has started to mix,
which is essential on the time delay.
Question 7
When setting the timer for morning, why does the
machine make sounds late at night?
The machine must start operation when the time delay reaches
the start time of the programme so that the bread will be ready.
These sounds are made by the motor when kneading the
dough. It is a normal operation, not a malfunction.
Question 8
The Kneading Blade is stuck in the Baking Pan. After
baking how do I get it out?
The Kneading Blade may ‘stick’ in place after baking. Running
warm or hot water over the Kneading Blade should loosen it
enough to be removed. If still stuck, soak in hot water for about
30 minutes.
Question 9
Can I wash the Baking Pan in the dishwasher?
No. The Baking Pan and Kneading Blade must be washed by
hand.
Question 10
What will happen if I leave the finished bread in the
Baking Pan?
Whilst still in the breadmaker for the first hour after baking is
complete the bread ’keeps warm’ to prevent it becoming
‘soggy’. Leaving the bread in the breadmaker after the keep
warm period may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of bread as excess
steam (moisture) would not be able to escape. Remove and
allow to cool on a wire rack after baking to prevent this.
Question 11
Why did the dough only partially mix? Why didn't it
mix completely?
The dough may be too heavy or dry. Also, the Kneading Blade
or Baking Pan may not be inserted properly. Ingredients may
have been added in the wrong order.
Question 12
Why can't the delayed finish be set for more than 12
hours? What is the minimum time a cycle may be
delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 12 hours including the total
cycle time. For example, Setting 1 (basic 2lb) has a cycle time of
3:00. This start is delayed by a maximum of 9:00. The minimum
length of delay for each setting is 10 minutes. The delay clock
increases and decreases in increments of 10 minutes.
Question 13
How do I know when to add raisins, nuts, etc. to the
bread?
There is a beeper tone to signal that you may add raisins, nuts,
etc. during the second kneading cycle.
Note: See ‘Baking cycle times’ chart for ‘Add nuts & raisins’
time. On the 48325 model with the fruit and nut dispenser, this
is automatic.
In some cases, ingredients can be broken up during the initial
kneading cycle. Each recipe indicates the best time to add fruit
and nuts to the dough.
Question 14
Why does my bread come out too moist? What can I
do?
Humidity may affect the dough. Add an extra tablespoon of
flour. Also, high altitude may have the same effect. Decrease the
amount of yeast by 1/4 teaspoon and decrease the sugar
and/or water/milk slightly.
Question 15
Why do I get air bubbles at the top of the bread?
This can be caused by using too much yeast. Decrease the
yeast by 1/4 tsp.
Question 16
Can I use my favourite bread recipes (traditional yeast
bread) in my bread machine?
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion
of ingredients. Become familiar with the unit and make several
loaves of bread before you begin experimenting. Never exceed
a total amount of 5 cups dry ingredients (that includes the total
amount of flour, oats, oatmeal, bran). Use the recipes in this
book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and
amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and oil/butter/margarine to use.
We advise creating your own bread recipes using the basic
mode, then progress to the others, using the Baking cycle times
chart as a guide.

Question 17
Is it important for ingredients to be at room
temperature before adding them to the Baking Pan?
Yes, even when the delay timer is being used. (Water must be
between 21°C and 28°C).
Question 18
Why do the loaves vary in height and weight? The
wholemeal/wholewheat breads are always shorter. Am
I doing something wrong?
No, it is normal for wholewheat and wholemeal breads to be
shorter and denser than basic or French breads. Wholewheat
and wholemeal flour are heavier than white bread flour, therefore
they don’t rise as much during the bread baking process. This is
also true for bread containing fruit, nuts, oats and bran.
Troubleshooting
Bread Sinks in the Centre
Too much liquid or liquid too warm.
Measure ingredients accurately. Use liquids at temperatures
between 21°C and 28°C.
Salt was not added, causing bread to over rise and
collapse.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Too much yeast was added.
Measure ingredients accurately, if problem persists, reduce
yeast by 1⁄4 teaspoon.
High humidity and hot ambient temperatures can
cause bread to over rise and collapse.
Bake during the coolest part of the day, Try reducing the yeast
by 1⁄4 teaspoon or use liquids direct from the refrigerator. Do
not use the timer function.
High altitudes can cause the bread to over rise and
then collapse during baking.
Try reducing the yeast by 1⁄4 teaspoon.
Lid is open during baking.
Do not open the Lid during baking.
Bread Did Not Rise Enough
Not enough yeast was added.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Yeast is outdated or inactive.
Never use outdated yeast. Store in a cool, dark place.
Too little sugar was added.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Too much salt was added, reducing the action of the
yeast.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Water was too hot and killed the yeast.
Use liquids at temperatures between 21°C and 28°C.
Yeast has been activated before programme has
started.
Take care that yeast does not come in contact with liquid
before programme has started.
Question 19
Can I premix the yeast with water?
No, the yeast must be kept dry and put into the Baking Pan last,
above the flour. This is especially important when the delay
timer is being used.
Question 20
Why is there a large hole in the base of the bread?
This hole has been created by the Kneading Blade. Sometimes
this hole is larger than normal. This is because the dough has
rested to the side of the Kneading Blade after the second
kneading cycle - normal with breadmakers. You could position
the dough evenly in the base of the Baking Pan.
Bread Rises Too Much
High humidity and hot ambient temperatures can
cause bread to over rise.
Bake during the coolest part of the day. Try reducing the yeast
by 1⁄4 teaspoon or use liquids directly from the refrigerator. Do
not use the Timer function.
Too much yeast.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Too much liquid.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Hot liquids accelerated the yeast action.
Use liquids at temperatures between 21°C and 28°C.
Too much flour or not enough salt.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Bread Dry With Dense Texture
Not enough liquid added.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Flour may be past the use by date, or be dry causing
wet/dry imbalance.
Try increasing liquid by 1 tbsp at a time.
Bread Under Baked With Soggy
Centre
Too much liquid from fresh or canned fruit.
Always drain liquids well as specified in the recipe. Water
may have to be reduced slightly.
Large amounts of rich ingredients like nuts, butter,
dried fruits, syrups and grains will make dough heavy.
This will slow down the rising and prevent the bread
from baking through.
Measure ingredients accurately. Never exceed the amounts in
the recipe.
Bread Over Browned
Too much sugar.
Measure ingredients accurately.
Crust colour set too high.
Set crust colour to light.

Press the Stop button. Remove the Baking Pan, leave Lid open
and allow to cool. When cool, put the Baking Pan back in, set
programme and start the programme again.
E:EE Message on Display
Temperature sensor is disconnected.
Refer to Morphy Richards Helpline.
Difficult to Remove From the Pan
The bread is sticking to the Baking Pan.
The surface of the Baking Pan needs to be oiled before
everyday use. Wash the Baking Pan in hot soapy water and
thoroughly dry. Liberally coat the inner surface of the pan with
oil, butter or margarine. Follow the guide on page 6, ‘Using your
breadmaker’. When the Baking Pan is removed from the
machine after the baking programme allow the bread to cool in
the Baking Pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a rack.
Only slice the bread when fully cooled after 20-40 minutes.
Condensation in the Fruit and
Nut Dispenser
Please note that if your machine has a fruit & nut dispenser,
during the baking process, condensation will form on the inside
of the dispenser. This is totally normal and does not affect the
quality of the bread.
