Step-by-Step Directions

On How to Use You Bread Maker

1. OPEN THE LID AND REMOVE THE BAKING PAN by pulling straight up on the handle. It is important to remove the Baking Pan from the unit before putting the ingredients into the pan to avoid accidentally spilling ingredients into the inner case.

2. ATTACH THE KNEADING BLADE

onto the shaft inside the Baking Pan by lining up the flat side of the blade with the flat side on the shaft. Make sure the Kneading Blade is placed securely on the shaft.

3. MEASURE ALL INGREDIENTS carefully and accurately. Inaccurate measurement, even if only slightly off, can make a difference in results. Add ingredients into the bread pan in the order they are listed. Yeast is always added last and must not come in contact with any liquid. (Before adding yeast, remember to dig a small hole in the flour so that the yeast doesn’t prematurely come into contact with the liquids. This is especially important when you are using the Delay Bake Timer.)

4. WIPE WATER AND OTHER SPILLS

from the outside of the pan; then insert the pan firmly into the bottom of the machine, applying pressure to each corner of the pan to make sure it is snapped tightly into the retaining brackets.

5. CLOSE THE LID AND PLUG IN THE BREAD MAKER. You will hear a beep and the LED display window

6. will be blank.

7. PRESS THE “START” BUTTON once you have selected your bread type. The baking time in hours and minutes will appear in the display. It will count down the remaining bake time in

one minute increments until the bread is done. This bread maker has a convenient Viewing Window so that you may watch the progress of the bread as it is mixed, kneaded, and baked. DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING CYCLES.

8. WHEN THE BREAD IS DONE. When the baking time is completed, a signal tone will sound three times and the display window will flash END. Remove the pan using potholders, and take the bread out of the pan by turning the pan upside down and shaking it. If you have difficulty removing the bread from the pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. If the kneading paddle remains in the bottom of the loaf, use the end of a plastic utensil to remove it. Once removed from the Bread Pan, it’s best to let your bread cool 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

9. KEEP WARM CYCLE automatically begins when the bake time is done. The display will show END for up to

60 minutes after baking is complete and will keep bread warm during that time. At the end of the 60 minutes, the heater will turn off.

Note: You may remove the Baking Pan at any time during the “Keep Warm” cycle. To turn off the “Keep Warm” feature, simply press the “STOP” button and hold it for 3 seconds. “END” will disappear and the display window will be blank. Please Note: Bread is best when removed from bread pan no more than 1 hour after keep warm feature ends.

The “Keep Warm” feature is not provided for the dough setting or the Jam/Jelly Setting.

10. USING THE TIMER FOR DELAYED

COMPLETION To delay the completion of your bread, use the TIMER. This feature allows you to delay the bake time for up to

12 hours. For example, it lets you set the TIMER at 8 p.m. one evening so that you can wake to fresh bread by

8 a.m. the following morning. To set the TIMER, follow these instructions: NOTE: It is not recommended that you use the “Delayed Completion” function and TIMER with recipes that call for fresh ingredients that might spoil such as eggs, milk, sour cream, or cheese. 1. To set the TIMER, determine when you would like your bread to be finished. For example, if it is 8 p.m. when you place all your ingredients in the Baking Pan and you would like to the aroma of fresh-baked bread at

8 a.m., you will want a total of 12 hours before your bread is complete. Once you have chosen the appropriate setting for your recipe, (for example, if you are doing Sweet Bread, you will push “SELECT” until #8 is showing) you simply set the TIMER to bring it up to your total hours (in this case,

12 hours). 2. Press the “Up” arrow on the control panel and 3:25 (the time setting for #8 setting) will automatically come up in the display window. Continue to press the “Up” arrow until the display reads 12:00. You do not need to mathematically calculate the difference between the setting time (3:25) and the total hours you want (12:00). The machine will automatically adjust to include the setting time. Simply set the TIMER for your total hours. If you pass the 12:00, simply press the “Down” arrow to go back. 3. Once you have selected the time, press START. The colon in the display will flash to indicate the TIMER has been set and the countdown will begin. The TIMER will count down in one-minute increments. When the display reads “END”, your bread is complete and the beeper will sound.

4.If you make a mistake while setting the TIMER, press and hold the STOP button for 3 seconds. This will clear the display and you can set the TIMER again.
