How to add extra ingredients while using the breadmaker.

You can add your favourite extra ingredients to your bread or dough. Follow the recipe for the quantities for each ingredient.


For model SD-YR2500: By selecting a menu with Raisin (2, 4, 6, 10, or 12), you can mix your favourite ingredients into the dough to make all kinds of flavoured breads. (Refer to the "Operating Instructions for a list of Bread Types and Baking Options.


Simply insert the extra ingredients in the dispenser or the bread pan before start.

  1. Open the dispenser lid.
    • The raisin/nut dispenser will open automatically for all programs.
    • Make sure the dispenser is clear and dry beforehand.
  2. Insert the ingredients inside.
  3. Close the lid.

  • We recommend selecting crust colour "Dark" to get better baking results when ingredients are added on the menu 2 or 4 or "BAKE RAPID" option.

Without raisin/nut dispenser: Wait for the beep, and then add the necessary ingredients to the bread pan.
  • For model SD-YR2500 ONLY.
