*The Whole Wheat cycles begin with a rest period during which the flours or grains absorb the liquid ingredients. Soaking causes the flour or grain to soften and helps ingredients to combine well. There is no blade action during this period.

**Alert sounds during knead to add ingredients if recipe recommends doing so.

***Total Time does not include “Keep Warm.”
