Note: During jam cycle, tones will sound at 5 minutes and 10 minutes into program, as a recommendation to clear sides of the pan with a spatula.

Last-minute Loaf – The Last-Minute Loaf is a fast bake cycle, which goes through kneading, rising and baking in approximately an hour. Mix-ins must be added at the very beginning of the cycle with other basic ingredients.

Please note: Because they are added at the beginning, there will be no signal indicating mix-ins.

This function can come in handy when you cannot plan ahead for bread making. The Last-Minute Loaf cycle requires the use of rapid rising yeast. Recipes begin on page 84 of recipe section. The kneading and rising of this cycle is suitable for white bread recipes. Allow it to cool before cutting or allow to remain in the bread maker for 60 minutes on Keep Warm cycle before serving.

Bake Only – This menu setting activates the bread maker for bake function only, and can be set in 10-minute intervals up to 90 minutes. You can use this setting if you want the finished loaf to have darker crust colour (this will only require a few extra minutes, so keep your eye on the loaf). Bake Only can also be used to bake store-purchased doughs.

CYCLES OF BREAD MAKING

Knead – There are typically 3 knead cycles for most bread types. The first knead cycle will actually mix the ingredients. Mix-ins can be added during the second knead. The one or two other short knead cycles will punch the dough down before the rise cycles.

Rise – There are periods of resting in which the unit will not be active except for the countdown display. These are rise cycles. A good rise is as important to the flavor of your bread as kneading and baking. During the rise, the machine will appear inactive – the dough is “at work”.

Bake – The CuisinartTM Convection Bread Maker will regulate the baking time and temperature according to the individual recipe.

Convection feature – A fan circulates air throughout baking cycles for better overall browning and crispier crust. The convection feature runs during Bake Only and Keep Warm only.

Warm – The Keep Warm cycle allows you to leave the finished bread in the machine to serve warm. It also helps keep the crust from becoming soggy if not removed from the machine immediately after baking. Some crusts will darken slightly in Keep Warm mode. For best results it is recommended to remove finished loaf as soon as baking cycle is complete. Cool on a baking rack.

AUDIBLE TONES

Mix-ins– The signal consists of a series of four sets of 5 long beeps each at 14 minutes before the end of the second knead (page 4, #8).

Remove Paddle – The signal consists of a series of three sets of 6 quick beeps before last rise (page 5, #11).

Baking Cycle Complete – At the end of the baking cycle a series of 10 beeps will sound when the cycle is done (page 5, #12).

Keep Warm Function – There will be a series of 12 beeps after the completion of the keep warm function.

Jam Program Only – Tones will sound at 5 minutes and 10 minutes into program (page 8) as a recommendation to clean sides of the pan with a spatula.

Error Beep – There will be an error beep if you press an invalid function (page 4, #6 and #7).
