RISE

After the dough is kneaded, it is allowed to rise for a certain period of time. You may hear faint

 

clicking sounds during the rise as gentle heat is being provided to keep the chamber warm.

STIR-DOWN (1)

After the dough has risen, it is then stirred down by the knead bar

(KNEAD)

to remove excess carbon dioxide gas created by the yeast.

 

SPECIAL NOTE:

 

If using the dough setting, its cycle is complete at this time and ready for hand shaping, rising

 

and baking in your own oven. An audible alert will sound and the bread maker will turn off after

 

completion of the dough cycle.

RISE (2)

The dough is then allowed to rise again, but for a shorter period of time.

STIR-DOWN (2)

After the shorter rise time, the dough is again stirred down by the knead bar to remove excess

 

gas and also to shape the dough for the final rise. This final stir-down ensures that the bread will

 

have good texture.

RISE (3)

The dough then goes into the final rise to achieve its maximum height. Again you may hear faint

 

clicking sounds during the rise as gentle heat is provided to keep the chamber warm.

BAKE

The bread is then baked for specified time depending on the crust color selected: light, medium

 

or dark. An audible alert will sound when the bread is done and 0:00 will appear in display. If

 

bread maker is not turned off, it will automatically go into the keep warm mode for up to 3

 

hours. When the bread is removed, turn bread maker off by holding start/stop button down for 4

 

seconds or until red light goes out.
