The PREHEAT period time varies from 5 to 15 minutes depending on the bread selection made. During the PREHEAT period; you may hear faint clicking sounds which is normal as gentle heat is being provided to warm the pan and ingredients before kneading.

As the cycle advances and the time counts down, the words KNEAD, RISE and BAKE will appear in display. If the recipe recommends adding ingredients during the KNEAD cycle, add them when the alert sounds to prevent over-mixing. Simply open the door and add to pan.

CAUTION: To avoid burn injury, do not touch door, glass window, vent or sidewalls of bread maker during the bake cycle, as these surfaces are hot.

CAUTION: If using hot pads rather than oven-mitts for removing hot bread pan from bread maker, be careful not to allow pads to touch hot heating elements as they can become singed or even start on fire if not careful. See Diagram 14.
