REMOVABLE LID
Your new Bread Maker is equipped with a removable lid for easy cleaning and storage. To remove the lid, simply raise the lid just short of the vertical position (approx. 70° angle); while holding the base of the unit with one hand, gently hold the front edge of the lid and pull it to the right side so as to pop the left hinge pin out (you will hear a loud “pop” sound when the hinge pops out). Then simply slide the lid to the left to remove the right hinge pin.

Dig a shallow hole in the dry ingredients and place the yeast in the hole so that there’s absolutely no contact between the yeast and any liquids or salt. This is especially important when you’re using the Delay Bake option. You don’t want the yeast to be activated too soon in the process!
PLACEMENT COUNTS!
Place dried fruits, vegetables, and dried spices away from the liquid ingredients in the bread pan. If they soak up water, they can undermine the bread’s chemistry.
FRESHNESS FIRST
Avoid using perishable ingredients – milk, yogurt, eggs, or cheese – with the Delay Bake function.
JUST WAIT FIFTEEN
For best results, wait fifteen minutes before slicing; the bread needs time to cool.
DEEP FREEZE
To freeze fresh bread, let it cool completely and
