As the machine advances, words such as PREHEAT, KNEAD, RISE and BAKE will appear in display so you know what cycle the machine is in. Two alerts will sound during the bread making process; one during the KNEAD cycle to remind you to add any ingredients recommended in recipe at the proper time and the second alert sounding near the end of final RISE as a reminder to check height of dough to extend the rise if needed for a larger loaf before baking begins. See pages 16 and 19 for more details on these alerts.

When done, 0:00 will appear in display and audible alert will sound. Turn machine off by holding on/off button down until red on light goes out, about four (4) seconds. Open door, press PAN RELEASE button to unlock pan and carefully lift bread pan out of oven using oven mitts. Shake bread out of pan and cool on rack 15 to 30 minutes before slicing.

See “CLEAN AFTER EACH USE” section in this booklet on page 20 for cleaning information.

OTHER TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN USING YOUR BREAD MAKER

1.DO NOT PUSH PAN RELEASE BUTTON or remove the bread pan during operation unless when necessary to perform decorative crust treatment at end of final rise cycle or after the bread is done. It is especially important that the bread pan not be released during the knead cycles to prevent possible damage to the bread maker. If you need to stop the bread maker during operation, hold the on/off button down for four (4) seconds or until the red on light goes out.

2.BE SURE to allow adequate ventilation around the bread maker when it is in operation. Keep it out of drafts and direct sunlight and at least four (4) inches away from walls, cabinets and other appliances, especially heating and cooling appliances which interfere with the internal bread maker temperatures and affect the loaf of bread being prepared.

3.DO NOT IMMERSE base of bread pan in water or other liquid as this can damage the bearings that run the knead bars on the bottom of the pan. See “CLEAN AFTER EACH USE” section in this booklet on page 20 for further details.

4.ALWAYS place bread maker on a DRY, STABLE, heatproof countertop or table during use. Since the bread maker contains a motor, some vibration occurs during the knead cycle.

5.AVOID touching bread maker during the bake cycle as exterior surfaces become hot. ALWAYS use oven mitts when removing and handling the bread pan after baking.

6.FOLLOW instructions as given for best results. THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN SUCCESSFUL BREAD MAKING IS TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY. See “MEASURING INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY” section in this booklet on pages 7 and 8.

7.DO NOT EXCEED the ingredients capacity of the bread maker. See “KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS” section in this booklet on pages 5-7. Use only fresh ingredients.

8.ALWAYS ADD INGREDIENTS in the order listed in recipes. Add liquid ingredients first, the butter or margarine next, followed by the dry ingredients and finally the yeast in the very center. Before adding the yeast, ALWAYS tap the pan to settle the dry ingredients, level off, pushing some of the dry mixture into corners of pan to prevent liquid from seeping up. Then make a slight well in center of dry ingredients and place the yeast in the well. This sequence is very important, especially when using the TIME DELAY start timer of your bread maker to prevent over fermentation of the yeast.

9.IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE, the bread maker will turn off and automatically resume where it left off in the cycle if power is restored in about 10 minutes. If the power is not restored in about 10 minutes, the bread maker will remain off when power is restored. If this is the case, you will need to remove the contents from pan and start over using fresh ingredients. The red on light will remain off and the display will be blank to let you know the bread maker is not in operation.

10.DO NOT COVER bread maker with anything during operation as this can cause malfunction.

11.DO NOT TOUCH control panel buttons, with the exception of the oven light and extend rise buttons, after bread maker has been turned on as this can interrupt the cycle. Turn bread maker off after completion of cycle.

12.DO NOT LEAVE bread maker plugged into electrical outlet when not in use to prevent it from being accidentally turned on.
