OTHER TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN USING YOUR BREAD MAKER
1.DO NOT REMOVE the bread pan or touch any moving parts when bread maker is in operation. If you need to stop the bread maker during operation, hold the start/stop button down for 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 4 inches away from walls, cabinets and other appliances, especially heating and cooling appliances which can 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 on the bottom of the pan that turns the knead bars. See “Clean After Each Use” section 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 potholders when removing and handling the bread pan after baking.
6.FOLLOW instructions as given for best results. THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN BREAD MAKING IS TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY. See “MEASURING INGREDIENTS ACCURATLEY” section in this booklet.
7.DO NOT EXCEED the ingredient capacity of the bread maker. See “Know Your Ingredients” section in this booklet. Use only fresh ingredients.
8.ALWAYS ADD INGREDIENTS in the order listed in the recipes. Add liquid ingredients to the bread pan 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, then level off the ingredients, pushing into the corners to prevent liquid from seeping up. Then add the yeast to the very center of the pan, making a slight well in the center of the dry ingredients. This sequence is very important, especially when using the 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 within 5 to 10 seconds. If power is not restored in 5 to 10 seconds, the bread maker will remain off when power is restored. If this occurs, you will need to remove the contents from the bread pan and start over using fresh ingredients. The red ON light will remain off and the display will reset to the default setting; basic/specialty, medium crust, 1½ lb. loaf, with 3:30 in display.
10.DO NOT COVER bread maker with anything during operation as this can cause malfunction.
11.DO NOT TOUCH control panel buttons after bread maker has been turned ON as this will interrupt the cycle. Turn bread maker OFF after completion of cycle.
12.DO NOT LEAVE bread make plugged into electrical outlet when not in use to prevent it from being accidentally turned ON.
