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.

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
Filling with Ingredients:
• Ensure you have all the ingredients to hand.
• Carefully fill the barrel making sure you don’t leave any ingredients out. 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 Breadmaker is sucient to bake a 2lb 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.
• 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.
• Measure and add the water to the barrel. Next add the salt and the other dry
ingredients. Finally add the yeast.
• It is essential to keep the yeast away from the salt and the water before mixing
commences or the bread will not rise properly.
• Clean off any spills around the outside of the bread barrel and lower it into the
breadmaker, reversing the process described earlier. Push down at the sides
and ensure the barrel is firmly held in the side clips.
Keep Warm:
The Bread Maker has an automatic Keep Warm function which heats the bread for
one hour after baking. If you do not wish to use the Keep Warm function, hold the
ON/OFF button down for 3 seconds once the baking function has finished. A buzzer
will sound when the Keep Warm function has turned off.
4 - Before First Use
5 - Using Your Appliance
10
Inner Light:
The Bread Maker has a built in inner light. This enables you to check on your bread
when it is baking, without having to open the lid and disturb the baking process.
Press the ‘+’ and ‘-’ keys down at the same time to switch the inner light on. To
switch it off, press the same keys again.
Automatic Dispenser:
The Automatic Dispenser allows fruit, nuts and other dry ingredients to be emptied
into the bread barrel at the correct time during use.
1. Before baking, open the lid of the bread maker and remove the dispenser box
by pressing the dispenser box handle and lifting it up.
2. Add the ingredients that you want to be added into the bread.
3. Place the two pillars in the bottom of the box holder; push the fruit box handle
until it is set on the lid.
Note: The dispenser does not operate during the Dough, Jam or Bake programs.
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 15
minutes the bread maker must be restarted manually and you will have to begin
the bread making process again with fresh ingredients.
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 around 20ºC (70ºF).
The Delay Timer (RESERVE):
The delay timer function allows you to delay the start time of the bread making
program. If the dough contains milk, fruit or onions, do not select the time delay
function, but bake the dough immediately.
If you would like to make your bread later: Press + or - to set the time you want the
bread maker to start operating in increments of 10 minutes.
For example, if you would like to have fresh bread ready for 7am and it is currently
8:30pm, you would set the reserve time to 10 hours and 30 minutes, and then press
the START/STOP button.
This includes the baking time for the type of bread selected.
Tips: Cover the yeast under the flour to maintain activity of the yeast.
Note: The delay timer is not available on all functions.

Bread Mixes
Follow the information for bread mixes on the bread mix packet. Use Programme
1, the basic soft setting when using bread mixes, based on a 1.5lb loaf.Many Bread
mixes will allow use of Programme 6 (Quick Bake). Check the instructions on the
packet.
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 yeast. You only add water, occasionally butter/nuts/fruit.
IMPORTANT:
Follow the packet instructions carefully, 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
2. 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 usually
produce a 1.5lb loaf. Check the instructions carefully.

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
Wholemeal settings 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 programme.
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. Insucient liquid will result in a poorly
structured, lumpy loaf.
24
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 otherwise you

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?
