How To Use Your Breadmaker

5 Close the lid and plug into an outlet (120 volt). Two ARROWS will come up in the display window indi-

cating BASIC bread type with a Regular Crust and 12:00 a.m. will flash in the display window. If you wish to use the TIMER to delay baking, you will first have to set the correct time of day. However, if you want to start the breadmaking operation now, it is not neces- sary to set the CLOCK.

6 To bake a Basic loaf of bread with a Regular Crust, simply press the START/RESET Button.

However, you can choose a dif- ferent setting for your recipe by pressing the MENU button on

the pad. Each time you press

MENU, the arrow in the display

window will point to

the next selection (i.e.

RAPID bake, SWEET bread, etc.) If you are using a recipe that

calls for the BASIC, RAPID bake, or SWEET bread set-

ting, choose a crust color by

pressing the CRUST

button until the arrow

in the window lines up

with either REGULAR or DARK.

7 Press the

START/RESET

Button once until it beeps and the red “operation” indicator light comes on. The

flashing 12:00 a.m. will be

replaced by the baking time for

that setting, for example, 3:50, if

you chose a recipe for the BASIC

bread setting (regard-

less of whether you

chose REGULAR or DARK crust). It will count down the

remaining time in one-minute intervals (3:49, 3:48, etc.) until the bread is done. When the baking is complete, several beeps will sound to alert you that the bread is ready and the red indicator light will begin flashing. In addition, a flashing 12:00 a.m. will reappear in the display screen.

8 This Breadmaker is designed with a KeepWarm function that automatically begins when baking is complete. The red “operation” light will continue

to flash for up to 60 minutes after baking is com- plete and will keep bread warm during that time. At the end of the hour, the KeepWarm cycle will end and the light will remain on constantly, indicating the unit is still plugged in. The bread should then be removed as soon as possible to avoid getting soggy. You may remove the Baking Pan any time during the KeepWarm cycle. To turn off the KeepWarm feature before the 60 minutes are up, simply press the START/RESET button and hold it until the dis- play time clears.

NOTE: The Keep Warm feature does not function for the DOUGH setting since baking is not involved in this program. If you leave finished dough in the unit over a period of time, it may over-rise and produce poor results. For best results, remove dough at the end of the program and follow the recipe directions for shaping, rising, and baking.

9 This unit has a convenient Viewing Window so that you may watch the progress of the bread as

it is mixed, kneaded, and baked. Occasionally, some moisture may form in the window during the rising cycle. If moisture forms, you may lift the lid to look inside during the mixing and kneading stages, however, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING CYCLE (approximately the last hour) as this may cause the bread to underbake. Most of the moisture should disappear during the baking cycle.

10 To remove the Baking Pan, use pot holders or oven mitts, grasp the wire handle with both

hands and pull straight up on the Baking Pan. Fold and lock the wire handle down. Turn the pan on its side and gently shake the bread out onto a wire cooling rack. The Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle have a non-stick coated finish so that the bread should come out easily. Do not use metal utensils to remove bread as they may scratch the non-stick coating. If you have difficulty removing bread from
