a finger hole in the power plug for easy
and safe removal from the wall outlet. For
safety reasons it is recommended you
•
•
Do not place this appliance on or near
a hot source, such as hot plate, oven
or heaters.
plug your Breville appliance directly into
its own electrical outlet on a dedicated
circuit separate from other appliances. If
the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not function
properly. Use in conjunction with a power
strip or extension cord is not recommended.
Position the appliance at a minimum
distance of 10 inches away from walls,
curtains and other heat or steam
sensitive materials and provide adequate
space above and on all sides for
air circulation.
•
•
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
It is a safety precaution to prevent
personal injury or property damage
resulting from pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with a longer
cord. Do not allow children to use or
be near this appliance without close
adult supervision. Longer detachable
power strips or extension cords are not
recommended but may be used if care is
exercised. If an extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, (2) the cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter-top or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.

For consistent results it is recommended

ANd SPOONS
If using graduated measuring cups, it is
important to spoon the dry ingredients
loosely into the required cup. Do not tap

directed. Level the top of the cup with a
knife. When using graduated measuring
spoons, level the top of the spoon with a
straight edged knife or spatula.

WARM AREA fOR RISING
•
Yeast, either when sponging or in the
dough, requires warmth to rise.
•
To create a ‘warm area’ for dough to rise,
place prepared dough item in a stainless

If the weather is hot and humid, reduce
the yeast by ¼ teaspoon to avoid over
rising of the dough.
Flour properties can alter on a seasonal
or storage basis, so it may be necessary
to adjust the water and flour ratio. If
the dough is too sticky, add extra flour
1 tablespoon at a time; if the dough is
too dry add extra water 1 teaspoon at a
time. A few minutes is needed for extra
ingredients to be absorbed. Dough with
the correct amount of flour and water
should foam into a smooth round ball
that is damp to the touch but not sticky.

Eggs should be at room temperature to
give better volume when whipping.
fOR BETTER BAKING
•
•
•
Check the ingredients and read the
recipe before starting to bake.
Break eggs individually into another
container before adding to other
ingredients to avoid potential spoilage.
Weigh and measure ingredients
correctly.
•
•
Separate egg whites carefully to avoid
inclusion of egg yolks. Egg yolks contain
fat and will prevent successful whipping
of egg whites.
Variations may occur in raw ingredients
use so adjust other ingredients and
baking times if required.
•
•
Preheat oven before starting recipe
preparation, this will ensure the correct
temperature is achieved before
baking starts.
Rinse beaten egg residue from beater
and mixing bowl or other utensils with
cold water immediately after use. Using
hot water will set the egg and make
removal difficult.
Temperature and cooking times
may vary with some ovens so

is cooked.
adjust accordingly. If using a fan
forced (convection) oven reduce the
temperatures in the recipes by 15-20°.
•
When mixing, start the mixer at a
lower speed then gradually increase to
the recommended speed in the recipe
especially when adding dry ingredients.
For crisper results when baking cookies,
remove the baking trays from the oven
and placed directly onto wire racks.
Move the cookies slightly away from
their baked position on the trays and
cool completely before removing.
•
•
•
When using smaller quantities turn off
the mixer from time to time and scrape
the bowl with a spatula.
Ensure beaters and mixing bowl are
clean and free of fats when whipping
egg whites as these will impede aeration.
Spray baking sheets and cake pans with
an oil spray and line with parchment
paper; this will make removing your
food easier.
•
•
Butter should be softened at room
temperature to make creaming butter
and sugar easier.
Keep surfaces and ingredients chilled
when making, handling or rolling out
pastry. Butter for pastry making should
be kept refrigerated.
•
Avoid stretching pastry when rolling
out as it will shrink when baking. Use
light, even strokes in one direction and
avoid pressing down hard on the rolling
pin. Where possible, rest pastry in the
refrigerator before baking.

fATS IN BAKING
Flour, such as cake, pastry, all purpose, self
rising and whole wheat, used for cake and
pastry making should be lower in protein
(gluten) than flour used for bread making.
Butter will give particular flavor and soft
texture to baked products. When using
butter in baking recipes it is best to use
unsalted butter as salted butters vary in
their salt content and may change the
consistency and taste of your baked good.
Cake and Pastry flour have a lower protein
(gluten) content and give baked products,
such as cakes, muffins, pastries, scones and
pancakes, a softer texture.
Margarine can replace butter to give a
similar result.
All-purpose flour is often used as a general
purpose flour however is not recommended
for bread making.
Oil can be used in some baking to replace
butter but will give texture and
flavour differences.
Self–rising flour is a blend of all purpose
flour and raising agents such as baking
powder. Self rising flour can be used in
recipes to replace all-purpose flour and
baking powder. To make 1 cup self-rising
flour sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour and
2 teaspoons baking powder (Care should
be taken when using self rising flour as a
substitute in recipes as not all recipes have
the same proportions of baking powder and
baking powder loses it's leavening (rising)
power over time.).
Eggs should be at room temperature to
give better volume when making cakes and
sponges. Standard large eggs were used in
the recipes.
Milk should be full fat unless specified.
Light, low fat or skim milk can be used but
will give texture and flavor differences.
Sugar (granulated sugar) is used to give
flavor, texture and color to baked products.
Bakers sugar is often used in baking as it is
easier to dissolve when creaming butter and
sugar. Brown sugar is also easy to dissolve
and can be used to give a different flavor
and texture. The large crystals of raw sugar
are slower to dissolve and can be suitable for
baked products such as muffins.
Whole wheat flour contains more parts
of the whole wheat grain — flour, bran and
wheat germ — and can be used in muffins,
breads and pie dough but will have a
denser texture.
Corn flour is made from maize (corn) and is
used in some baked products to give a finer
texture and can also be used as a starch to
thicken sauces and desserts.
Rice flour is derived from rice and is used to
give a finer texture in baked products such
as shortbread cookies.
Baking powder is a mixture of cream of
tartar and baking soda and is used as a
leavening agent in baking.
Baking soda is used as a leavening agent in
baked goods. When using baking soda in a
recipe the product must be baked at once
and not stored for later or the leavening
power will be lost and the product may
not rise.

ISSUE
TIP
Choice of beaters
Do not use a dough hook with a beater - this will damage
the Mixer.
Speed Settings
Use the mixing guide above to select a suitable mixing speed
when preparing recipes. Begin mixing at lowest speed then
increase to higher speed to prevent splattering.
Bowl Speed
Mixing
Use the low bowl speed for speeds 1-6 and the high bowl speed
for speeds 6-12.
Mix for the recommended time in the recipe - avoid over
mixing.
Should an object such as a spoon or spatula fall into the bowl
while mixing immediately turn the mixer off, unplug at the
power outlet and remove the object.
Egg white
Be sure the beaters and bowl are completely clean and dry
before use - a small amount of fat and egg yolk will affect
whipping performance.
Bread dough
Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use speed 1 to
knead ingredients into a dough ball. DO NOT place hands near
dough hook when mixer is operating.
