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 blade will normally stay in the bread pan when the bread is removed, but may on occasion slide out in the bread. If the knead blade is inside the loaf, remove with the included hook before slicing. CAUTION: The knead blade is very hot, remove with care. If making another loaf of bread right away, be sure the machine is turned off, unplugged, and allowed to cool for 15 to 20 minutes with the cover open.

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.

CLEANING YOUR AUTOMATIC BREADMAKER

1.Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.

2.Immediately after the bread is removed from the bread pan, fill the bread pan half full with warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Allow the bread pan to soak for 5 to 20 minutes or until the knead blade can be lifted off of the shaft. You may need to twist the knead blade slightly to loosen. If the knead blade is difficult to remove after soaking, secure the cross bar on the underside of the bread pan while twisting the knead blade to loosen. Wash the inside of the bread pan and knead blade with a soft cloth, rinse and dry. Use a mild detergent. Never use chemical cleaning agents, oven cleaners, abrasive scouring pads, or cleansers on the bread pan or knead blade as damage to the coating or finish can occur. Replace the knead blade on the shaft.

3.Never immerse the bread pan in water or wash in an automatic dishwasher as damage to the bearing that turns the knead blade can occur. Wipe the inside of the oven chamber and the outside surfaces of the breadmaker with a damp cloth if necessary. Never dip the appliance in water or fill the baking compartment with water! The lid cannot be removed for cleaning.

NOTE: The coating on the inside of bread pan may change color over time; this is normal and does not affect the bread.
