START/	2. Press START/STOP button once to turn the bread maker on. The red light next
	to selected time delay setting will slowly flash to let you know the timer is working.
STOP	If time delay is set at 9 or 12 hours, the flashing light will move to the next shortest time setting after every 3
	hours. For example, if 9 hours was programmed into the time delay, the light would slowly flash at this setting for 3
	hours, then advance to the 6 hour delay position. When the bread making process begins, the time delay light goes out
	and the cycle lights are activated for the particular cycle the machine is in, Knead, Rise and Bake.

When the bread is done, an audible alert will sound and green Keep Warm light will glow. The bread will stay warm for up to 3 hours after baking or until bread maker is turned off. Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Always use pot holder or oven mitt when removing hot bread from machine after baking. Cool loaf on rack 15 to 30 minutes before slicing.

If in Dough mode, bread maker will automatically turn itself off upon completion of the cycle when audible alert sounds. Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Remove dough from pan and finish as recipe directs.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, do not touch cover, vent or side walls of bread maker during the bake cycle as these surfaces are hot. Do not put hands inside oven chamber or touch the heating unit after completion of the bake cycle, as these surfaces are also hot.

SLICING BREAD

Always allow bread to cool at least 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. If you attempt to slice the bread immediately after baking, it will be very difficult to slice and will be sticky.

STORING BREAD

Since homemade bread contains no preservatives, it does not stay as fresh for as long as commercially made bread. Store your bread in a plastic bag to keep it from drying out. Keep the bread at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, put the bread in the freezer. Slice before freezing so you can remove only the number of slices you need at a time.

CLEAN AFTER EACH USE

SPECIAL NOTE: The bread pan is not immersible and should never be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Immersing the pan in water can cause damage to the bearing in the bottom of the pan that turns the knead bar. Dishwasher cleaning can reduce the release qualities of the non-stick finish, causing the bread to stick to the pan.

1.Unplug cord from electrical outlet.

2.The bread pan and knead bar must be cleaned after each use. After the bread is removed from pan, fill with warm water to cover the knead bar. Set pan in a dry sink or on a potholder and allow pan and knead bar to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Then lift bar off shaft, twisting slightly if needed to unlock. The knead bar must be allowed to soak in water before it can be removed.

Add small amount of dishwashing detergent to the pan and wash the inside and knead bar with a soft cloth or sponge. Empty pan and rinse inside as well as knead bar with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Always make sure the shaft in the bottom of the pan is kept clean. Do not use any type of utensil or tool to clean the gasket around the shaft in bottom of pan as damage will occur and result in leakage.

Do not use any abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on bread pan or knead bar as damage to the non-stick coating can occur.

The coating on the inside of the bread pan may change color over time, which is normal and does not affect the bread or dough prepared.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.

3.Wipe inside chamber and outside surfaces of bread maker with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth if necessary. Cover can be removed for cleaning. Open cover 45 degrees, then slide forward. Wipe cover with a damp soapy cloth and dry. Do not immerse cover in water or place in automatic dishwasher for cleaning as water will get in between the parts and can cause damage.

After cleaning, replace cover by aligning attachment bar into hinge on back of bread maker. Cover should move freely up and down after being replaced.
