4.Plug the breadmaker cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY.
5.Use the “MENU” button to select the desired program menu.
6.Use the “LOAF” button to select the desired loaf size.
7.Use the “TEMP” button to select the desired crust darkness.
8.If desired, use the “TIME” button to set the elapsed time for when the program is to be completed.
9.Press the “START/STOP” button to begin the program. After the breadmaker has been turned on, the programmed setting cannot be changed without canceling the program. To change the setting, hold the “START/STOP” button down until the alert sounds. Then program the control as desired and turn back on.
10.When the bread is done, an alert will sound. Turn the breadmaker off by holding the “START/STOP” button down until the alert sounds. Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. If the breadmaker is not turned off after the cycle is complete, the breadmaker will automatically go into a one hour “Keep Warm” mode. If the machine is not turned off after the end of the “Keep Warm” period, the machine will turn itself off.
11.Remove the bread pan. CAUTION: The handle is hot after baking. Use oven mitts or hot pads when removing a hot bread pan.
12.Invert the bread pan and shake gently until the loaf falls out. Place the bread on a rack to cool 15 to 20 minutes. The knead blades will normally stay in the bread pan when the bread is removed, but may on occasion slide out in the bread. If the knead blades are inside the loaf, remove with the included hook before slicing. CAUTION: The knead blades are very hot, remove with care. If making another loaf of bread right away, be sure the machine is turned off and allowed to cool 15 to 20 minutes with the cover open.
Special Instructions for “Home Made”: The “HOME MADE” setting is perfect for the user who is familiar with the intricacies of making bread at home and wants to customize their own settings.
1)Press the “PROCESS” button once and “KNEAD1” will appear on the display; then press the “TIME” button to adjust the minutes. Press “PROCESS” again to confirm the time for the first kneading cycle. Press “PROCESS” again to advance to the next step. Note: To advance the time more rapidly, press and hold “TIME.”
2)“RISE1” will now show on the display. Press the “TIME” button to adjust the minutes. Once the desired time has been set, press “PROCESS” again to advance.
3)Continue until you have customized all settings. Press “START/STOP” to exit programming, then press again to begin the cycle.
Note: Your breadmaker’s memory can remember your customized homemade settings unless power is lost for more than 5 minutes. When “HOME MADE” is first selected, the default setting is the same as BASIC.
High Altitude Adjustment: Reduced air pressure at high altitudes causes yeast gases to expand more rapidly and the dough to rise more quickly. The dough can rise so much that when it begins to bake, it will collapse due to overstretching of the gluten structure. To slow the rising of the dough, reduce the amount of yeast by ¼ teaspoon at a time until you find the right amount. You can also reduce the amount of liquid by a teaspoon or two. Some experimentation will be needed when using your breadmaker at high altitudes.
