Getting To KnowYour Breadmaker

Quick Tips

Your breadmaker makes large 1.5 or extra large 2 lb loaves.

There are five settings including one for dough or pasta.

The “Rapid Bake” setting can produce variations of basic white bread in less than 2 hours. This setting can only be used with recipes supplied (see pg. 20). You cannot use the timer with this selection. This setting cannot handle heavier recipes such as whole grain because of its shortened rising cycle.

Depending on the recipe you select, the “Dough/Pasta” setting will let you produce dough that can be shaped into dinner rolls, pizza, long loaves, challah, pretzels, filled braids, or more. For Pasta, be sure to use pasta or semolina flour. Pasta dough should be processed through a pasta maker or pasta shaper to form the desired shape. Consult the Cookbook section of this manual.

The Crust Control function lets you choose “Regular” or “Dark” crust on the Basic, Rapid Bake, or Sweet settings. It cannot be used on the Whole Grain or Dough/Pasta settings.

The “Keep Warm” function begins automatically after bread is baked. It keeps baked bread warm up to an hour after the baking is done. This function stops after 60 minutes or when the unit is unplugged, or the Start/Reset button is pressed.

An “Add-Ingredient” function signals with beeps when it’s time to add ingredients such as fruits or nuts to recipes used with any setting except Rapid Bake. A beep signals before kneading is completed to let you know when to add ingredients. This feature helps keep fruit or nuts whole (See “Add-Ingredient Function” pg. 10 for more details). If you use the TIMER to delay baking, you may add all ingredients at once and bypass this function, however, your fruit or nuts may get “chopped” and blended into the bread.

Do not cover the breadmaker with towels

or other material that may prevent steam from escaping. Some steaming from vents is normal. Because of escaping steam, you should keep the breadmaker several inches away from cabinets while making bread.

Do not place any objects on top of the breadmaker.

IMPORTANT: Add ingredients in the order they are specified in the recipe. For best results, accurate measuring of ingredients is very important. Do not put larger quantities than recommended into the Baking Pan as it may produce poor results and may damage the breadmaker.
