 GREAT BRITISH DESIGN, INNOVATION
AND EXCELLENCE SINCE 1912

Since the turn of the 20th century, Tower has been designing,
developing and manufacturing housewares and small
appliances used by millions of households throughout the
UK and beyond. During the 1960s, the rise in popularity
of pressure cooking saw Tower become the UK’s largest
producer of pressure cookers, right through into the late
1980s. In recent years the Tower brand has been reborn with
an exciting and varied range of housewares and electrical
appliances that have quickly reinstated the brand’s richly
deserved status as a household name.

4 - Before First Use
1. Remove the appliance from the packaging.
2. Check that there is no damage to the cord or any visible damage to the body
or attachments.
3. Remove any stickers or labels on the appliance or attachments.
4. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner

5 - Using Your Appliance

Removing the pan:
1. Open the lid.
2. Lift the handle and hold it with both hands.
3. Turn the pan anti clockwise and remove from the Bread
Maker.
4. Make sure the drive shaft in the bread pan is clean and free
from crumbs or pieces of dough.

Paddle:
Fit the paddle on to the drive shaft in the bread pan before use.

Filling with Ingredients:

1. Ensure you have all the ingredients to hand.
2. Carefully fill the barrel making sure you don’t leave any ingredients out.
3. When filling, it is essential that the ingredients are filled in the prescribed
order, otherwise the bread will not be properly baked.

IMPORTANT: The capacity of the Bread Maker is sufficient to bake a 2lb (1000g)
loaf, or to raise the equivalent amount of dough for baking elsewhere. Do not
exceed this amount otherwise the mechanism may be damaged, or the dough
may rise through the lid.

1. The ingredients should be at a warm room temperature (20º-25ºC). If the room

is cold (below 18ºC), use warm water (40ºC) to make sure the yeast ferments
fully. To gauge the temperature if you do not have a thermometer, heat some
water and slowly add this to a jug of cold water until the resulting temperature
is barely warm to the touch.
2. Measure and add the water to the barrel. Next add the salt and the other dry
ingredients. Finally add the yeast.
3. It is essential to keep the yeast away from the salt and the water before mixing
commences or the bread will not rise properly.

9
4. Clean off any spills around the outside of the bread barrel and lower it into the
Bread Maker, turning clockwise to lock in position.

Controls and programs:

1. Ensure that you understand the functions of your Bread Maker before use as an
incorrect selection will affect the quality of the bread.
2. Plug the Bread Maker into the mains. The Control Panel display will light up
and the unit is now operational.
3. When you first power up the Bread Maker, the unit will automatically be set
to the Basic and Medium Crust settings. The default loaf size will be set to 2lb
(1000g) and the display will indicate 3:00, which means that the Bread Maker
will take 3 hours to complete the program.

Basic Sequence of Operations:

A. Choose a Program with the MENU button.
B. Select the Loaf Size (as needed).
C. Select the Crust Colour (as needed).
D. Press the Start/Stop button to start the machine.

Menu selection:
1. Press the MENU button repeatedly to select a Program.
2. Most programs offer you the choice to bake 1.5lb (700g) or 2lb (1000g) loaves.
Press the Loaf Size button once you have selected your desired program to
select your preferred loaf size.
3. Press the Colour button to choose Light, Medium or Dark crust.

11
12: BAKE
For baking dough that has been previously raised.
Total Program Time: 1h
Re-bake or warm previously baked bread. If you are reheating bread, check the loaf
regularly and switch off manually if necessary.

The “Keep Warm” function:

When the baking cycle has ended the Bread Maker will keep the bread warm for
one hour. After one hour the Bread Maker will automatically switch off.

The Delay Timer:

The time delay function allows you to delay the finish time of some programs by
up to 13 hours, depending on the length of the baking cycle. If the dough contains
milk, fruit or onions, do not select the time delay function, but bake the dough
immediately.

Setting the Delay Timer:

Example: It is 8.00 p.m. and you want to have fresh bread (using the Basic setting)
at 7.00 a.m. The difference between now (8:00 p.m.) and 7:00 a.m. is 11 hours.
1. Plug the bread-maker in.
2. Set the time to 11:00 (The difference between now and when you want the
bread).
3. Press the Time + / Time - Buttons (on the Control Panel) to add or deduct time
in 10 minute increments..
4. Press START/STOP.
The timer icon appears at the top left of the display screen to show that timer
operation is in progress. The timer display shows in hours and minutes the total
time left until the bread is ready (including any delay added and the program
time). Press the START button to commence the timer countdown. If you set the
timer incorrectly and press START, you can switch off and set the delay period again
provided the program has not started.

The START/STOP Button:

The START/STOP button serves to start or to stop the program. Only press this
button after you have selected your desired program and crust colour, and set the
delay timer if required. As the button is pressed you will hear a beep, and the timer
display will start counting down the remaining time until your bread is ready.

Stopping the Bread Maker in an Emergency:

Keep the START/STOP button pressed for 3 seconds. Only do this in an emergency,
as the machine will reset to the beginning of its program and the ingredients may
be ruined by over-baking.

Adding Ingredients:
If the Bread Maker program menu is set at Basic, French or Whole Wheat, the unit
will give off beeping sounds during the second kneading process to inform you
when extra ingredients may be added. During bread making, open the lid of the
Bread Maker only at the times specified. If the lid is opened at any other time, the
quality of the bread may be adversely affected.

12
Memory Recall:
If the power supply is temporarily interrupted, the process of bread making will
continue automatically when power is restored. If the power cut exceeds 11
minutes the Bread Maker must be restarted manually. If the process has gone no
further than the kneading phase when the power supply is cut off, you may press
the “START/STOP”button and re-start the program.

Cold Weather:
Although the Bread Maker works perfectly well at low temperatures, if your kitchen
is cold the bread may not be satisfactory. Bread should be baked in an ambient
temperature of around 20ºC (70ºF) and no higher than 35ºC.

When The Bread Has Baked:

1. When the program is complete, the display will show 0:00 and the appliance
will beep 10 times. The pan may now be removed from the Bread Maker.
2. Lift the lid using a pair of oven gloves. Turn the pan anti clockwise and remove
from the Bread Maker.
3. Place the bread pan on a heatproof surface and leave it to cool for 10 minutes.
Invert the bread pan over a breadboard or other heat resistant surface and tap
the bread pan lightly to release the bread.
4. Allow the bread to cool on a heatproof rack before use. If the paddle has got
stuck in the loaf, remove it with a melamine fork or other suitable tool.
Note: Always use a rack. If you leave the bread to cool on a normal work surface,
water vapour in the bread will not evaporate and the bottom of the loaf may be
spoiled.

Bread Maker Operating Sequence:

Below is a brief and abridged recap of the information given in the sections above,
on how to correctly use and operate your bread maker. Refer to the relevant section
above for more information on each of the steps detailed in the points below.

1. Lift the lid and turn the pan anti clockwise and remove from the Bread Maker.
Lift the pan out and place it on the work surface.
2. Attach the paddle to the spindle inside the pan.
3. Measure the ingredients as required and add them all into the pan. There is no
need to mix the ingredients beforehand, the Bread Maker will do this.
4. 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 activate
immediately. This is particularly important when using the delay timer.
Note: All our recipes are based on yeast specially intended for Bread Makers,
available in sachet form.
5. Do not overfill the baking pan. This will affect the bread and may damage the
appliance.
6. Using the pan handle place the baking pan in the Bread Maker, turn clockwise
to lock in position and close the lid of the appliance.
7. Plug the appliance into the power supply (you will hear one long beep).
8. The appliance will automatically be set to the BASIC program.
9. Select the program, weight and crust as required.
10. Press START/STOP to start the machine.

13
Note: When the Bread Maker is operating open the lid only at the prescribed
places in the baking cycle. Failure to observe this will affect the quality of the
bread.
11. When the program is completed the display shows 0:00 and the appliance will
beep 10 times.
12. The “keep warm” function will now operate for a further hour. After this period
the Bread Maker will again beep 10 times and then switch off. For best results,
stop the Bread Maker with the START/STOP button and remove the baking pan
within the keep warm period.
13. Lift the lid using a pair of oven gloves. Turn the pan anti clockwise and remove
from the Bread Maker.
14. Let the pan cool for about 10 minutes out of the machine in normal
orientation. This is particularly important for the heavier breads.
15. Turn the pan upside down and gently tap or shake the bread from the pan.
Occasionally, the paddle will stay in the loaf; wait until the loaf is cool and then
remove the paddle with a wooden utensil to avoid damage to the non-stick
surface. If you need to aid removal of bread from the pan use only wooden or
heatproof plastic utensils.
16. Leave the bread on a rack to cool. Make sure the paddle has been removed
before slicing the bread.
17. Always unplug the appliance after use.

Weighing and Measuring Ingredients:

• The Bread Maker can bake a 2lb (1000g) loaf, or raise the equivalent amount of
dough for baking.
• Do not exceed this amount or the mechanism may be damaged, and/or the
dough may rise through the appliance lid.

Baking with your Bread Maker:

1. The next few pages contain a series of recipes to help you get acquainted
with the facilities available on your new Bread Maker. If you are to get the best
results it is vital that your measurements are careful and accurate as small
differences in key ingredients can have a huge effect on the final result.
2. Use a clear container for measuring liquids and measure at eye level. If
you measure from above or below you will not get an accurate reading. A
measuring cup is provided with the unit for this purpose.
3. The measuring cup provided has scales marked in cups, millilitres (ml) and
fluid ounces (fl.oz.) to help you measure the ingredients correctly.
4. Always fill the liquid exactly to the marked line.

Note: Where the abbreviations tsp. (teaspoon) and tbsp. (tablespoon) appear in
the recipes they refer to the supplied measuring spoon. Use this spoon as other
utensils may not yield the correct amounts.
Spoon measurements must be level. Rounded or heaped measures may not yield
the proper results.

The basics of bread making
An understanding of ingredients and their interaction is essential to good bread
making. This short guide will help you understand some of the processes and the
materials used.

Flour
Flour is the essential ingredient. It should be fresh, and stored in cool, dry
conditions, preferably in an airtight jar. Use only bread making flour. General
purpose flours do not contain enough gluten to produce well-structured bread.

Wholemeal wheat flour contains the whole grain. This results in heavier denser
loaves than bread made with white bread flour, and takes longer to rise - use the
Whole Wheat setting for best results.

Flours such as oatmeal are often added to bread flours to make specialty loaves.
Many of these flours contain no gluten so they cannot be used entirely on their
own.

Flours vary - millers all have their own special methods, and age and storage
play their part. Although you should always follow the recipe carefully there are
occasions when you may have to adjust the dough.

You may do this a few minutes into the kneading cycle. Open the Bread Maker lid
and gently touch the dough. It should feel very slightly sticky. If it is sloppy, add a
little flour (½ -1 tablespoon). Allow this to work in and re-check if necessary. If the
dough is too dry, add the same amount of lukewarm water. Re-check if necessary.

As you gain experience, you will get to know the feel of good dough. It should be
soft and smooth with the faintest sticky feel, but should leave no residue when
turned out of the barrel, as in our recipes for doughnuts and other recipes blended
on the Dough program.

The only time you can adjust the quality of the dough is during the kneading cycle.
Once baking commences, do not lift the lid, or the bread may spoil.

Milk
Whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk can be used in bread making but it should
always be added lukewarm. Refrigerated milk must be heated to around 27ºC
(80ºF). Never heat milk above 37ºC (98ºF) as this can cause problems with yeast.

Liquid Quantities
Milk can usually be substituted for water in most recipes, but the quantity may
need to be adjusted - usually slightly higher. If dried milk features in the recipe,
leave it out when substituting milk for water.

Flour is absorbent, its texture will vary to some extent with the prevailing
atmospheric conditions. The amount of liquid may have to be adjusted if the
conditions in your kitchen are excessively dry or humid. If there is too much water
in the bread it will not rise properly, even to the point of collapse. Insufficient liquid
will result in a poorly structured, lumpy loaf.

21
If you are in any way unsure, it is good policy to monitor the dough while it is
kneading, using the notes above.

Butter, Margarine, Cooking Fat and Oil

These are interchangeable in bread making. Fats add flavour and help the keeping
properties of bread. If you wish to use margarine based or vegetable oil, ensure
that you use the regular kind. Avoid the “light” varieties as they contain quite large
amounts of water which will adversely affect the bread. If you are in doubt, read the
small print on the container; this will indicate whether the product is suitable for
bread making.

When substituting oil for butter, margarine or solid cooking fat, reduce the amount
of liquid by around ¾ tbsp. to compensate for the extra liquid content of the oil.

As you will see from our recipes, it is good practice to cut butter and solid fats into
small pieces before using them.

Low fat bread can be made by substituting natural low fat yoghurt for some or all
the fat in the recipe, in equal amounts. Apple purée may also be used. Once again,
monitor the dough and adjust accordingly.

Sugar
Sugar provides food for the yeast, helps bread to rise and improves flavour, structure
and colour. Almost any kind of natural sweetener can be used, - all the various
sugars, corn and maple syrup, honey, etc. Once again, when using liquid sweeteners
to replace sugar, reduce the amount of water slightly to compensate. Artificial
sweeteners are not suitable for bread making.

Salt
Salt in bread is NOT just a matter of taste! Salt restrains the growth of the yeast,
and improves elasticity and structure. If you reduce or eliminate salt from the bread
it will rise excessively - if you use too much salt the loaf will not rise enough. Use
common table salt.

When adding salt to the bread barrel, keep it away from the yeast by introducing
it at one corner. If the yeast comes into premature contact with salt, the bread will
not rise properly. This situation is obviously more important when using the delay
timer.

Yeast
Yeast is a micro-organism which feeds on sugars and starches in the bread mix
producing carbon dioxide gas which in turn causes the bread to rise.

We recommend the use of dried fast-acting yeast which is intended for bread
makers. The instructions on the sachet will tell you if the yeast is suitable for bread
makers. Easy-blend yeasts are readily available from all good supermarkets.

When adding yeast, be especially careful to get the quantity correct, to ensure best
results.

22
Bread Mixes
Follow the information for bread mixes on the bread mix packet. When using bread
mixes, use program 1, the Basic soft setting, based on a 1.5lb (700g) loaf.

There are 2 types of bread mixes currently available.

Just Add Water.

These mixes are complete and they have all the necessary ingredients provided,
even 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 barrel. 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-
28°C

Just 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
1.5lb (700g) loaf.

Help! My bread has gone wrong - some easy remedies

1. Have all the ingredients been added?
2. Have all the ingredients been accurately measured?
3. Was the yeast in contact with any liquid or salt before the program started?
4. Has the correct program been used?
5. Has the delay timer been properly set?
6. Has the mains been switched off during the cycle?
7. Was the lid opened at the wrong point in the cycle?
8. Was the water temperature correct?
9. Was the bread maker in a very cold kitchen when the program started?
10. Was bread left in the machine after the “keep warm” time?
11. Did you cool the bread on a rack?
