MIX – When the bread maker is turned on, it will mix the ingredients about 6 minutes. The knead bars will start and stop during the mixing action which is normal.

REST – After the initial mixing period, the dough is allowed to rest about 10 minutes before the kneading action begins. You may hear faint clicking sounds during this Rest period, which is normal and indicates the bread maker is working properly in keeping the dough warm.

KNEAD – The total knead time varies depending on the bread selection made and loaf size. Total kneading time at the basic/specialty setting ranges between 23 and 25 minutes; between 26 and 30 minutes at the whole wheat setting and 23 minutes at the dough setting. The longer knead times are required at the whole wheat setting to better develop the gluten in whole wheat flour.

SPECIAL NOTES:

An audible alert will sound during the knead cycle of all settings to let you know when to add ingredients such as raisins, nuts, cheese, etc. to prevent over mixing or crushing. Ignore alert if not adding ingredients.

If you need to make any adjustment to the recipe, such as adding a little more flour or liquid in order for the dough to form a ball and be of soft consistency, you must make this adjustment during this knead period. Use alert described above, or set a separate timer to remind you to check the dough during the kneading period to make any necessary adjustments.

RISE (1) – After the dough is kneaded, it is allowed to rise for a certain period of time. You may hear faint clicking sounds during the rise as gentle heat is being provided to keep the chamber warm.

STIR-DOWN (1) – after the dough has risen, it is then stirred down briefly by the knead bar to remove excess carbon dioxide gas created by the yeast. SPECIAL NOTE: If using the DOUGH setting, its cycle is complete at this time and ready for hand shaping, rising and baking in you own oven. An audible alert will sound and the bread maker will turn itself off after completion of the DOUGH cycle.

RISE (2) – The dough is then allowed to rise again, but for a shorter period time.

STIR DOWN (2) – after the shorter rise time, the dough is again stirred down by the knead bars to remove excess gas and also to shape the dough into a ball for the final rise. This final knead ensures that the bread will have good texture.

RISE (3) – The dough then goes into the final rise to achieve its maximum height. Again, you may hear faint clicking sounds during the rise as gentle heat is provided to keep the chamber warm.

BAKE – The bread is then baked for the specified time depending on the crust color selection made: light, medium or dark. An audible alert will sound when the bread is done and 0:00 will appear in the display. If the bread maker is not turned off, it will automatically go into the Keep Warm mode for up to 3 hours. After the bread is removed, turn bread maker off by holding down the START/STOP button for 4 seconds or until the red signal light goes out.
