To use the TIME DELAY, simply prepare the recipe you wish to make, place the bread pan into the bread maker, program the BREAD SELECT, bread color and loaf size, then enter the number of hours and minutes from when you start the bread maker to

when you want the bread done using the timer buttons. The UP TIMER button will scroll up in 10 minute intervals, whereas the DOWN TIMER button will scroll down in 10 minute intervals. See “HOW TO USE TIME DELAY” section in this book for more

details on page 18. The delay start timer can be used with all recipes that have the symbol. After the TIME DELAY is programmed, the words TIME DELAY will appear in the display to confirm it is working.

OVEN LIGHT BUTTON

An oven light is offered so you can easily see into the bread maker at any time. Simply press the oven light button to turn the light on. It will stay on automatically for about 10 seconds and then turn off to save on bulb life. If you wish to have the light stay on longer, simply press the button again to turn it back on.

BREAD COLOR BUTTON

The bread color button lets you choose three (3) different crust colors for you breads. With each press of the bread color button, the following words will appear in the display: LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK. Select the desired bread color you wish.

LOAF SIZE BUTTON

You can prepare either a 1½ or 2 pound loaf of bread and recipes for both sizes are included in this book. Simply press the loaf size button for the size of the loaf being prepared. With each press of the button, 1½ LB and 2 LB will alternately appear in the display. Selecting the loaf size is important as the programming is different to ensure the optimum results for both sizes. The total bread making time will automatically be figured and appear in the display after the loaf size choice has been made.

EXTEND RISE BUTTON

At times, you may wish to let the dough rise longer than what is automatically programmed into the bread maker. The extend rise button allows you to extend the final rise time by 10 or 20 minutes.

You have two opportunities to extend the rise time if you wish. One, when programming the control before starting the machine, and another, when the alert sounds near the end of the final rise period before baking begins.

OPTION 1

To program the extend rise before bread making begins, simply program the BREAD SELECT, bread color, loaf size and then extend rise. To activate extend rise, push the extend rise button once for 10 minutes of extra rise time or twice for 20 minutes of extra rise time. EXTEND 10 or EXTEND 20 will appear in the display depending on your choice. The total process time in the display will also be adjusted for this addition. Then program TIME DELAY if being used.

OPTION 2

To program the extend rise feature at the end of the final rise, providing you are present to do this, an alert will sound 5 minutes before the bake cycle begins to alert you to check the height of the dough in the bread pan. If you wish to extend the rise time for a bigger loaf, press the extend rise button once for 10 minutes, twice for 20 minutes of extra rising time. EXTEND 10 or EXTEND 20 will appear in the display depending on the choice made.

If you decide to cancel out the extend rise, simply press the extend rise button until the word EXTEND disappears from the display.

See guidelines on how high the dough should be in the pan before extending the rise on page 19. This will prevent the dough from over-rising and baking into the top of the bread maker.

CRUST TREATMENT

To add a special decorative touch to your loaves of bread, you may perform crust treatments before the loaves are baked. The extend rise alert can also be used as a reminder to treat the crust, such as slashing down the center and drizzling butter in the slit for a butter split top. Or you can make several diagonal slashes across the top for French or rye bread, or any other type of decoration you may wish to add. See “DECORATIVE CRUST TREATMENT” section in this book on page 19 for more information.
