CAUTION: To avoid burn injury, do not touch cover, vent or sidewalls 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.

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 or until knead bar can be lifted off center shaft. The knead bar must be allowed to soak in water before it
can be removed.
Add a 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 the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.
