After dry ingredients are added to pan, tap pan to settle ingredients, then level, pushing some of the dry mixture into corners of pan. This will prevent liquid from seeping up from the corners. Make a slight well in center of dry ingredients and add the yeast to the well. This sequence of ingredients is especially important when using the timer to prevent the yeast from getting wet before bread making begins.
3.Lock pan into bread maker by twisting counterclockwise. See directional arrow on edge of pan for which way to turn. See Diagram 10. If pan does not lock securely, remove pan and reposition until secured. Pan must always be locked in place for bread maker to function properly. Close cover.

Faint clicking sounds indicate gentle heat being provided to warm the chamber. During the knead cycle, an alert will signal to add extra ingredients if the recipe recommends. Open cover and add ingredients to the pan on top of dough. These ingredients will be mixed during the remainder of the knead cycle. DO NOT STOP MACHINE TO ADD INGREDIENTS. If no ingredients are to be added, ignore alert or use it to check the condition of dough. See “Special Notes on Flour” on page 3.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury 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 four (4) seconds or until the red light goes out.

6.When cycle completes, 0:00 will appear in display and audible alert will sound. Turn bread maker off by pressing start/stop until light goes out. Memory will recall the last program in display. Unplug cord from electrical outlet.
It is best to remove bread immediately from machine for a crispier crust. Open cover and remove bread pan using oven mitts. To unlock pan, twist clockwise, then remove pan from machine. Handle bread pan carefully as it is hot. See Diagram 11.
Diagram 11 – Twist pan clockwise to remove.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, always use oven mitts to remove the hot bread pan from bread maker and when removing the baked loaf of bread from pan.
Invert bread pan and shake until loaf falls out on cooling rack. Knead bar should stay in place when bread is removed, but may slide out with bread. If bar is inside loaf, remove before slicing. Cool bread for at least 15 to 30 minutes.
If bread is not removed when cycle completes, the bread maker will automatically go into keep warm for up to three (3) hours. The on light will remain lit and 0:00 will appear in display.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, do not put hands inside oven chamber or touch heating unit after completion of the bake cycle, as these surfaces are hot.
SLICING BREAD - Allow bread to cool 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. If you slice bread immediately after baking, it will be sticky and very difficult to slice.
STORING BREAD - Since homemade bread contains no preservatives, it does not stay as fresh for as long as commercially made bread. Store bread in a plastic bag or sealed container to keep it from drying out. Keep bread at room temperature or in refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, put bread in freezer. Slice before freezing so slices can be removed when needed.
CLEAN AFTER EACH USE DO NOT IMMERSE BOTTOM OF BREAD PAN IN WATER!
The bread pan is not immersible and should never be washed in an automatic dishwasher. This can cause damage to the bearing that turns the knead bar and reduce the
