Using Your Breadmaker

These are instructions for bread baking only-not dough, jam or bake cycles. The bread settings in this unit will combine ingredients, knead, and make bread from start to finish automatically. The DOUGH setting makes dough for a variety of recipes that can be shaped and baked in an oven. To delay completion, the automatic TIME may be programmed to make bread or dough while you are at work or asleep. (See Setting the Delay Time Function, page 12.)

The recipes included with this booklet have been thoroughly tested to ensure best results. Recipes have been created specially for this breadmaker and may not produce acceptable results in other similar Breadmaking machines.

FOR ALL BREAD BAKING SETTINGS, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

1Open the lid and remove the

baking pan by pulling slightly forward on the handle, then up and out (see Figure 1). It is important to remove the baking pan from the unit when putting ingredients into the pan. This will prevent accidentally spilling ingredients into the baking chamber.

Figure 1

WARNING

• Place your Breadmaker where it is level, stable, and secure.

• Ingredients spilled in baking chamber can cause fire when ignited by the heating element.

2Attach the kneading blades onto the shafts inside the baking pan by lining up the flat side of the blade with the flat side of the shaft. Push the blades firmly onto the shafts (see Figure 2).

WARNING

• Be sure to set the kneading blades

Figure 2firmly in place to prevent blades from coming off during operation, which

may affect the kneading or mixing.

• Be sure the shafts are clean of any residue (i.e. dough). This will ensure the kneading blades will fully fit into place and prevent blades from sticking to shafts.

Using Your Breadmaker

3Select a recipe from the recipe section of this booklet. When following the recipes:

Measure ingredients carefully and accurately. To measure liquids,

use a see-through liquid measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level. When measuring dry ingredients, use a standard dry measuring cup and level the ingredients with a straightedge knife.

Slightly inaccurate measurement can make a difference in results. Use standard measuring spoons and level off with a straightedge knife.

•Always add ingredients into the baking pan in the order listed.

•Always add yeast last. Be sure the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients.

WARNING

•Be careful not to mix the yeast with any of the wet ingredients, especially when using the delay time function feature. Otherwise, the bread may not rise properly.

Breadmaker Tip

After 5 minutes of kneading, open the lid of the breadmaker and check the dough consistency. The dough should form a soft, tacky ball. If too dry, add liquid. If too wet, add flour. Additional liquid or flour should be added in 1/2 - 1 tablespoon increments.

4Place the baking pan back into the unit in a slightly forward, angled position. Push down and back on the pan until you hear it click firmly into place. Push the side handles down into the pan.

Special Note: If the baking pan is not installed properly or firmly clicked into place, the kneading blades will not operate.

5Close the lid. Connect the plug to a 120-volt AC-only outlet. You will hear a beep and the display will show the time of day.

6Choose the correct setting for your recipe by pressing the MENU button. Each time MENU is pressed, you will hear a beep and the number in the display window will advance to the next cycle.

Special Note: The Whole Wheat settings 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.
