CLIMATE CHANGES & BAKING

In high-altitude areas (over 3,000 feet) dough tends to rise faster, as there is less air pressure. Therefore, less yeast is necessary.

In dry climates, flour is drier and requires slightly more liquid.

In humid climates, flour is wetter and will absorb less liquid, so less liquid is required.

How to Use

This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

Remove packing materials and any stickers.

Place bread maker on dry, stable, level surface away from heat and areas where cooking grease or water may splatter on unit. Do not place near edge of countertop. If placing beneath cabinets, make sure there is enough room to open the lid without interference.

Important: Your bread maker will bake up at 2½-lb. loaf. Do not put larger quantities of ingredients into bread pan. Bread will not mix and bake correctly and bread maker may be damaged. (See maximum ingredient amounts.)

Before first use, operate on Rapid White cycle without adding ingredients to burn off manufacturing oils. (Follow instructions in using your bread maker.)

Note: During first use, bread maker may smoke and/or emit an odor from mineral oils used in manufacturing. This is normal.

MAXIMUM INGREDIENT AMOUNTS

Bread cycles: approximately 5 cups

Quick breads: 4 cups

Dough cycle: 4 2/3 cups

Jam: 3 cups of fruit mixture

Bread Pan tips

Inserting bread pan

Note: Remember to insert kneading paddles first, then add all ingredients in the order listed BEFORE inserting the bread pan into baking chamber.

Important: Collapsible kneading paddles may fall when ingredients are added. This is normal. They will stand up when kneading begins.

When inserting bread pan into bread maker, make sure to set firmly in place.

Removing bread pan

To remove bread pan from baking chamber, hold handle with an oven mitt and lift straight up.

Important: When you remove bread pan after baking, be sure to wear oven mitts to prevent burning.

After removing loaf (by turning bread pan upside down and shaking gently), check to see that kneading paddle is removed from loaf. If it is stuck in bread, allow bread to cool; then use the paddle removal key to remove it, taking care not to scratch the kneading paddles. Allow bread to cool before removing the kneading paddles.

Checking Dough Consistency

Although your bread maker will mix, knead and bake bread automatically, when baking bread from scratch, it is recommended that you learn to recognize condition of your dough. The ratio of flour to liquid is the most critical factor in any bread recipe, yet the most easily remedied. After 5 to 8 minutes in Knead 2, open bread maker to check consistency of dough. Dough should be in a soft, tacky ball (feel sticky like scotch tape). If it is too dry, add 1 tsp. of liquid at a time. If it is too wet, add 1 tbsp. of flour at a time.
