Description
Zojirushi Home Bakery Breadmaker | BB-KWQ10
Zojirushi have been making bread machines longer than most, and the BB-KWQ10 shows it: 15 courses, three selectable bread textures, an automatic ingredient dispenser, and a HOMEMADE course that lets you set the knead, rise and bake times yourself — something few domestic machines offer.
The control panel is in English, and the manual is supplied in English and Traditional Chinese, so there is nothing to work out. The bundled recipe booklet is in Traditional Chinese.
Please note before ordering:
- 220–230V with a UK 3-pin plug — no adapter or voltage converter is needed.
- English control panel. Manual in English and Traditional Chinese; the bundled recipe booklet is in Traditional Chinese.

Using the Timer
The timer sets the time at which baking finishes, up to 13 hours ahead.
- Prepare the ingredients, then select the course and crust colour.
- Press the TIMER key — the display shows the minimum time needed and the START light blinks.
- Use the TIME SETTING ▲ / ▼ keys to set your finish time, in 10-minute increments.
- Press START. The timer is not activated until you do.
To cancel, press and hold the CANCEL key for more than one second.
Do not use the timer with recipes containing milk, juice, vegetables or eggs — these can spoil while the ingredients wait. The add beep does not sound while the timer is set. In rooms above 25°C, rice flour bread may not rise as expected.


Auto Add Dispenser
Nuts, dried fruit and other additions are held separately and released automatically at the right point in the cycle, so they stay whole rather than being broken up during kneading. The dispenser is removable and washable.

Three Bread Textures
On the Basic Bread course, choose Regular, Firm or Soft to suit how you like your loaf.

Everyday Details
A window in the lid lets you watch the loaf develop without opening it, the handle folds down for storage, and the baking pan and kneading blade are nonstick coated for easy cleaning.



In the Box
A measuring cup and measuring spoon, plus an instruction DVD, the manual (English and Traditional Chinese) and a recipe booklet (Traditional Chinese).

Care Instructions:
- Remove the baking pan and kneading blade after each use and wash in warm soapy water. Do not use a dishwasher.
- The pan and blade are nonstick coated — avoid metal utensils, scourers and abrasive cleaners.
- Remove the Auto Add Dispenser and wash it separately; dry it fully before the next bake, as damp residue causes ingredients to stick.

- Let the unit cool completely before cleaning or storing.
- Fold the carry handle down and store in a dry place away from direct heat.
