‘QUICK START’ STEPS FOR MAKING FIRST LOAF OF BREAD
You are probably very anxious to start using your new bread maker without having the time to read this book from cover to cover.
Follow these “Quick Start” steps for making that first loaf of bread, whether using the mix included with your bread maker or one of
the recipes in this book. And while you are enjoying that first slice of freshly baked bread, sit back and read the book to ensure
successful baking results each and every time. It contains very important information on the proper use of your bread maker.
‘QUICK START’ STEPS FOR USING BREAD MIX INCLUDED WITH MACHINE
Press PAN RELEASE button to unlock pan from machine. Remove pan. Wash pan and knead bars as recommended in “CLEAN
BEFORE USING” section in this booklet on page 14. Make sure knead bars are positioned correctly on shafts in bottom of pan. See
Diagrams 8 and 9 on page 15 of this book.
1. Measure 1¼ cups (10 ounces) of lukewarm water in glass or plastic see-through measuring cup. Make sure water level is exactly at
the 1¼ cup marking at “EYE LEVEL”. Pour water into bread pan.
2.Open bag of dry ingredients and pour into pan on top of water. Level ingredients with knife, pushing some into corners of pan.
3. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add yeast from packet included with mix.
4. Lock pan into machine with FRONT side facing you. See Diagram 11 on page 15 of this book for locking pan in place. Close door.
Plug bread maker into electrical outlet.
5. The bread maker is already preprogrammed for making the box mix. After the machine is plugged in, the words BASIC, MEDIUM
and 1½ LB will appear in the display along with 3:30 (3 hours, 30 minutes), which is the time needed to make the mix. Press on/off
button to turn machine on. Red on light will glow, colon between hours and minutes will flash and time will count down in minutes so
you always know how much time remains until bread is done.
As the machine advances, words such as PREHEAT, KNEAD, RISE and BAKE will appear in display so you know what cycle the
machine is in. Two alerts will sound during the bread making process, one during the KNEAD and the other during the last RISE.
Ignore these alerts when using the mix included with your machine.
When done 0:00 will appear in display and audible alert will sound. Turn machine off by holding on/off button down until red on light
goes out, about four (4) seconds. Open door, press PAN RELEASE button to unlock pan and carefully lift bread pan out of oven
using oven mitts. Shake bread out of pan and cool on rack 15 to 30 minutes before slicing.
“QUICK START’ STEPS FOR MAKING A RECIPE IN THIS BOOKLET

Choose one of the many bread recipes included in this book and follow the basic steps below. Either a 1½ or 2 pound loaf of bread can
be made.
Press PAN RELEASE button to unlock pan from machine. Remove pan. Wash pan and knead bars as recommended in “CLEAN
BEFORE USING” section in this booklet on page 14. Make sure knead bars are positioned correctly on shafts in bottom of pan. See
Diagrams 8 and 9 on page 15 of this book.
1. Read “MEASURING INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY” section on pages 7-8 in this booklet as this is VERY IMPORTANT in
obtaining a great loaf of bread!
2. Add all liquid ingredients to pan first, then butter or margarine, followed by the dry ingredients, except the yeast. Level dry
ingredients, pushing some into corners of pan. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add recommended amount of yeast for the
type being used and loaf size being made.
3. Lock pan into machine with FRONT side facing you. See Diagram 11 on page 15 of this booklet for locking pan in place. Close
door. Plug bread maker into electrical outlet.
4. Press recommended BREAD SELECT button given in recipe. It will appear in the display along with the process time. Next, press
bread color button until desired crust color, LIGHT, MEDIUM, or DARK, appears in display. Press loaf size button for size loaf
being made, 1½ or 2 pound; 1½LB or 2LB will appear in the display along with the process time. Press on/off button to turn machine
on. Red on light will glow, colon between hours and minutes will flash and time will count down in minutes so you always know how
much time remains until bread is done.

As the machine advances, words such as PREHEAT, KNEAD, RISE and BAKE will appear in display so you know what cycle the
machine is in. Two alerts will sound during the bread making process; one during the KNEAD cycle to remind you to add any
ingredients recommended in recipe at the proper time and the second alert sounding near the end of final RISE as a reminder to check
height of dough to extend the rise if needed for a larger loaf before baking begins. See pages 16 and 19 for more details on these alerts.
When done, 0:00 will appear in display and audible alert will sound. Turn machine off by holding on/off button down until red on
light goes out, about four (4) seconds. Open door, press PAN RELEASE button to unlock pan and carefully lift bread pan out of oven
using oven mitts. Shake bread out of pan and cool on rack 15 to 30 minutes before slicing.
See “CLEAN AFTER EACH USE” section in this booklet on page 20 for cleaning information.
OTHER TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN USING YOUR BREAD MAKER

1. DO NOT PUSH PAN RELEASE BUTTON or remove the bread pan during operation unless when necessary to perform
decorative crust treatment at end of final rise cycle or after the bread is done. It is especially important that the bread pan not be
released during the knead cycles to prevent possible damage to the bread maker. If you need to stop the bread maker during operation,
hold the on/off button down for four (4) seconds or until the red on light goes out.
2. BE SURE to allow adequate ventilation around the bread maker when it is in operation. Keep it out of drafts and direct sunlight and
at least four (4) inches away from walls, cabinets and other appliances, especially heating and cooling appliances which interfere with
the internal bread maker temperatures and affect the loaf of bread being prepared.
3. DO NOT IMMERSE base of bread pan in water or other liquid as this can damage the bearings that run the knead bars on the
bottom of the pan. See “CLEAN AFTER EACH USE” section in this booklet on page 20 for further details.
4. ALWAYS place bread maker on a DRY, STABLE, heatproof countertop or table during use. Since the bread maker contains a
motor, some vibration occurs during the knead cycle.
5. AVOID touching bread maker during the bake cycle as exterior surfaces become hot. ALWAYS use oven mitts when removing and
handling the bread pan after baking.
6. FOLLOW instructions as given for best results. THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN SUCCESSFUL BREAD MAKING IS
TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY. See “MEASURING INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY” section in this booklet
on pages 7 and 8.
7. DO NOT EXCEED the ingredients capacity of the bread maker. See “KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS” section in this booklet on
pages 5-7. Use only fresh ingredients.
8. ALWAYS ADD INGREDIENTS in the order listed in recipes. Add liquid ingredients first, the butter or margarine next, followed
by the dry ingredients and finally the yeast in the very center. Before adding the yeast, ALWAYS tap the pan to settle the dry
ingredients, level off, pushing some of the dry mixture into corners of pan to prevent liquid from seeping up. Then make a slight well
in center of dry ingredients and place the yeast in the well. This sequence is very important, especially when using the TIME DELAY
start timer of your bread maker to prevent over fermentation of the yeast.
9. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE, the bread maker will turn off and automatically resume where it left off in the cycle
if power is restored in about 10 minutes. If the power is not restored in about 10 minutes, the bread maker will remain off when power
is restored. If this is the case, you will need to remove the contents from pan and start over using fresh ingredients. The red on light
will remain off and the display will be blank to let you know the bread maker is not in operation.
10. DO NOT COVER bread maker with anything during operation as this can cause malfunction.
11. DO NOT TOUCH control panel buttons, with the exception of the oven light and extend rise buttons, after bread maker has been
turned on as this can interrupt the cycle. Turn bread maker off after completion of cycle.
12. DO NOT LEAVE bread maker plugged into electrical outlet when not in use to prevent it from being accidentally turned on.

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS
Although bread making seems very basic, it is a science and the proportions of ingredients are critical. Read the following information
to better understand the importance each ingredient plays in the bread making process. Also, always make sure your ingredients are
fresh.
• FLOUR is the main ingredient in making bread. It provides structure and food for the yeast. Several different types of flour
can be used in your bread maker, but DO NOT USE all-purpose flour, cake flour or self-rising flour as poor results will be
obtained. BREAD FLOUR SHOULD be used in your bread maker as it contains more gluten-forming proteins than all-purpose
flour and will provide tall, well formed loaves with good structure. Several different brands of bread flour are available for use in
your bread maker.
• WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR can be used in your bread maker at the whole-wheat setting. This flour contains the entire
wheat kernel, including the bran and germ; therefore, breads made with 100% or a high percentage of whole-wheat flour will be
lower in height and heavier in texture than bread made with bread flour. The whole wheat setting on your machine has a longer
knead time to better develop the structure of wheat breads for optimum results.
• RYE FLOUR can be used in combination with bread flour in the preparation of rye or pumpernickel bread. But, it cannot be
used alone as it does not contain enough protein to develop adequate gluten for structure.
SPECIAL NOTE ON FLOUR

How to make minor adjustments for dough: All flours are affected by growing conditions, milling, storage, humidity and even the
manufacturer. While not visibly different, you may need to make some minor adjustments when using different brands of flour as
well as compensating for the humidity in your area. Always store flour in an airtight container. Store whole grain flours (whole-
wheat, rye) in refrigerator to prevent them from becoming rancid.
Measure the amount of flour as directed in each recipe but make any adjustment after the first 8 to 10 minutes of continuous kneading.
Feel free to check the condition of the dough during the knead cycle as this is the only time you can make any minor adjustment:
• Open cover and touch dough. If it feels a little sticky and there is a slight smear under the knead bar, no adjustment is
necessary.
• If dough is very sticky, clinging to the sides of pan or in one corner, and is more like a batter than a dough, add one
tablespoon flour. Allow it to work in before making any further adjustment.
• If dough is dry and the machine seems to be laboring during kneading, add one-teaspoon lukewarm water at a time. Once
again, allow it to work in before making any further adjustments.
• The dough is just right near the end of the kneading cycle when it is soft to the touch, smooth in appearance and just a bit
sticky, leaving a slight residue on your fingers-the feel of perfect dough. The bottom of the bread pan will also be clean of any
dough residue.
• DO NOT EXCEED 4 cups of bread flour for the 2 pound loaf or 3⅓ cups bread flour for the 1½ pound loaf. Breads
containing whole wheat, cereals or oats should not exceed a total of 3½ cups for the 1½ pound loaf or 4½ cups for the 2 pound
loaf.
• SUGAR AND OTHER SWEETENERS provide food for the yeast, add height and flavor to the bread and give the crust a
golden color. Types of sweeteners that can be used include sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, corn syrup and
fruits, whether dried or fresh. When using a liquid sweetener such as honey or molasses, the total amount of liquid in the recipe
will need to be reduced slightly by the same measurement of liquid sweetener used. A special tip when measuring sticky liquid
sweeteners is to coat the measuring spoon with vegetable oil before measuring. This will help the liquid sweeteners slide right
out.
DO NOT USE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS as a substitute for sugar and other natural sweeteners as the yeast will not react
properly and poor results will be obtained.
CAUTION: Be careful to avoid knead bars as possible finger pinching could occur.
5
• MILK enhances flavor and increases the nutritional value of bread. Any type of milk (whole, 2%, 1%, skim, buttermilk or
canned evaporated milk) can be used. Refrigerated milk must always be warmed to 75-85° F before adding to bread pan. Warm
in a glass measuring cup in microwave or in a small pan on top of the range. DO NOT HEAT MILK ABOVE 110° F AS THIS
COULD AFFECT THE YEAST.
• WATER used in combination with dry milk is a good substitute for regular milk and must be used when using the timer
feature as regular milk can spoil when left at room temperature for several hours. Use lukewarm water, about 75-85° F, for best
results. DO NOT USE WATER ABOVE 110° F AS THIS COULD AFFECT THE YEAST.
Using too much liquid can cause the bread to collapse during the bake cycle. During humid weather, slightly less liquid may be
needed, as the flour will absorb moisture from the air. In dry weather, slightly more liquid may be needed as flour can lose
moisture. When you experience a severe change in weather, it is best to check the condition of the dough during the knead cycle
as noted in the FLOUR paragraph for any minor adjustment that may be needed.
Water and milk are mostly interchangeable in recipes. Eliminate dry milk in recipes when substituting milk for water. Check
dough during the knead cycle for any minor adjustments. Slightly more milk may be needed when substituting for water.
• BUTTER, MARGARINE, OTHER FATS and OILS serve several purposes as they tenderize the bread, add flavor and
richness and contribute to the storage life of bread by retaining moisture. An excess of fat, however, can inhibit rising, so
accuracy is critical.
Butter, margarine and solid shortening are interchangeable in recipes. You may wish to cut butter and margarine into four (4)
pieces for faster blending during the knead cycle. Low-fat or fat-free bread can be made by substituting equal amounts of
unsweetened applesauce or plain nonfat yogurt for the amount of fat recommended in the recipe. Watch dough as it kneads for
any minor adjustments, which may be necessary.
• EGGS add color, richness and leavening to bread. Use large eggs. No premixing is needed. Egg substitutes can be used in
place of fresh eggs. One egg equals ¼ cup of egg substitute. To reduce cholesterol, you can substitute two (2) egg whites for each
large egg in the recipes without affecting the end result. Watch the dough during the knead cycle for any needed adjustments. See
“Special Notes on Flour” section on pages 3 and 4 for adjusting dough. A special tip when using eggs is to run them under warm
water for about one minute before cracking, as this helps the egg slide out of the shell better.
• SALT has several functions in making bread. It inhibits the yeast growth while strengthening the gluten structure to make
the dough more elastic, plus it adds flavor. Use ordinary table salt in your bread maker. Using too little or eliminating the salt
will cause the dough to over-rise. Using too much can prevent the dough from rising as high as it should. “Light” salt can be
used as a substitute for ordinary table salt, providing it contains both potassium chloride and sodium. Use same amount as
recommended for table salt. When adding salt to pan, add to one corner to keep it away from yeast, especially when using timer
as the salt can retard its growth.
• YEAST is a living organism, which, through fermentation, feeds on carbohydrates in flour and sugar to produce carbon
dioxide gas, which makes the bread rise. Active dry, fast rising or bread machine yeast can be used in your bread maker. Use
only the amount stated in the recipe. Using a little more can cause the dough to over-rise and bake into the top of bread maker.
Fast rising yeast and bread machine yeast are virtually the same and interchangeable with one another.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED CAKE YEAST. Recipes in this book were tested using only active dry, fast rising and bread
machine yeast.
6
Keep yeast stored in the refrigerator. You may find it handy to purchase yeast in glass jars so as to measure the exact amount
without having to waste any. If using yeast packed in a ¼-ounce foil envelope, it is best to open a fresh envelope every time you
bake. If you save the unused amount from the open envelope, store in a dry, airtight container in the refrigerator. Date the
container and use promptly. Do not mix old and new yeast in a recipe. A ¼-ounce foil envelope of yeast contains 2¼ teaspoons.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YEAST IS FRESH AND HAS NOT EXPIRED THE “USE BY “ DATE PRINTED ON THE
JAR OR ENVELOPE.
• VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN is the gluten protein, which has been rinsed from wheat flour and then dried. Vital gluten
will increase the protein content in flour to produce a higher loaf of bread with lighter texture. About the only time you may
wish to consider adding vital gluten is for 100% whole wheat bread or recipes containing a high percentage of whole wheat
or other whole grain flours or cereals. As a guideline, add one (1) teaspoon vital gluten per cup of flour used in the recipe.
Check the dough during kneading; you may need to add a little water as the vital gluten absorbs liquid. Vital gluten can be
obtained at most health food stores. Do not use gluten flour, as this contains less protein and is less effective.
Or, to increase the protein content, you can use a large egg as a substitute for vital gluten. Just add it to the liquid in the
bottom of pan and reduce the recommended amount of liquid in recipe by two (2) ounces (¼ cup). Again, check the
condition of the dough during the knead cycle.
• CINNAMON AND GARLIC: Adding too much cinnamon or garlic can affect the texture and size of the loaf.
Cinnamon can break down the structure of the dough, affecting height and texture, and garlic can inhibit the yeast activity.
Use only the amount of cinnamon and garlic recommended in the recipe; don’t be generous.
MEASURING INGREDIENTS: THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL BREAD MAKING
The most important part of bread making is to MEASURE THE INGREDIENTS PRECISELY AND ACCURATELY. You may
need to adjust your measuring habits, but the rewards for doing so will be great. Follow these very important tips:
• READ the recipe first and organize the ingredients in the order in which they are added to the pan. Many bread disasters
occur because an ingredient was left out or added twice.
• DO NOT EXCEED the ingredient capacity of the bread maker. Use only fresh ingredients.
• ALWAYS ADD INGREDIENTS in the order listed: liquid ingredients first, then butter or margarine, dry ingredients
next and finally yeast in the very center. Before adding yeast, ALWAYS tap the pan to settle dry ingredients into corners of
pan to prevent liquid from seeping up. Make a slight well in center of dry ingredients and place the yeast in the well. This
sequence is very important, especially when using the timer to prevent yeast from getting wet before bread making begins.
1. ALWAYS use standard glass or plastic “see-through” liquid measuring cups to measure liquids. Place cup on flat surface and
measure at “eye level”, not at an angle. The liquid level line MUST be right to the measurement marking, not above or below. A
“looks close enough” measurement can spell disaster in bread making.
SPECIAL TIP: Place liquid measuring cup on inside of kitchen cabinet to measure at eye level.
Liquid level must be exact to markings on liquid measuring cups. Too much or too little liquid will affect the
height of the loaf.
2. ALWAYS use standard dry measuring cups (cups that nest together) to measure dry ingredients, especially flour. Dry measuring
cups are those that nest together.
7
ALWAYS SPOON dry ingredients into the measuring cup, then level with a knife. DO NOT SCOOP measuring cups into dry
ingredients, especially flour, as it compresses the ingredients into the cup and causes the dough to be dry and result in a short loaf. See
Diagrams 2 and 3.
SPECIAL TIP: To lighten flour before measuring, move a spoon through it several times.
All ingredients measured in

measuring spoons must be level, not
rounded or heaping.
3. ALWAYS use standard measuring spoons for ingredients such as yeast, salt, sugar, dry milk and
small amounts of honey, molasses or water. The measurements MUST BE LEVEL, not rounded or
heaping as a little difference can affect the bread. See Diagram 4. DO NOT USE TABLEWARE AS MEASURING SPOONS as
these vary in size and will not be accurate.
USING BREAD MIXES IN YOUR BREAD MAKER
Pre-packaged bread mixes can be used in your bread maker. Follow the directions for making a 1½ pound (3 cup) loaf or 2 pound (4
cup) loaf. Use the BASIC or BASIC RAPID bread setting for most mixes unless preparing a 100% whole wheat or natural grain
mix, which would require the WHOLE WHEAT or WHOLE WHEAT RAPID bread setting. Add the recommended amount of
liquid to the bread pan first, then flour mixture and finally the yeast. Select desired crust color and start. The timer feature can be
used with bread mixes providing no perishable ingredients are used such as milk and eggs, which can spoil when left at room
temperature for several hours.
SPECIAL NOTE: If using a mix that makes a one (1) pound loaf of bread, you may wish to add some additional flour and water to
increase the amount of dough to better fill the pan and obtain a nicer loaf of bread. If bread mix weighs 12 ounces or less, increase the
amount of water or liquid recommended by 1½ ounces (3 tablespoons) and add ½ cup flour to the dry ingredients. When the dough is
kneading, check it to see if any minor adjustment in water or flour is needed. If mixes weigh more than 12 ounces, use as is as there
will be sufficient dough to fill the pan.
MAKE YOUR OWN MIXES
To save time, money and energy, you can prepare your own mixes and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use. Simply
measure all dry ingredients in the recipes EXCEPT YEAST into a plastic bag or sealable container. Label the type of bread and loaf
size. When ready to use, let the flour mixture stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Add recommended liquids, then the dry flour
mixture to pan. Level and add yeast to the center. Program and start the bread maker. Use timer if recipe recommends its use.

ADAPTING YOUR FAVORITE BREAD/DOUGH RECIPES
After you have prepared some of the recipes in this book, you may wish to adapt your own conventional bread recipes. Some
experimentation will be required and you will need to check the condition of the dough during the knead cycle for any adjustments
needed. Either use on of the recipes in this book that is similar to your recipe as a guide, or use this formula:
For each cup of flour used in recipe use: For Example, based on the formula to the left using 4 cups of flour start with:
⅓ cup liquid, 75-85° F 1⅓ cups liquid, 75-85° F

½ tablespoon sweetener 2 tablespoons fat
½ teaspoon salt 4 cups of bread flour
½ tablespoon fat (butter/margarine) 1½ teaspoons salt
scant ¾ teaspoon active dry or 2 tablespoons sweetener
½ teaspoon bread machine/fast rise yeast 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast or 2 teaspoons bread machine/fast rise yeast
Add ingredients to pan in recommended sequence: liquids first, then fat, then all dry ingredients except yeast. Level dry ingredients in
pan. Make a slight well and add yeast to well. Program for appropriate setting. After 8 to 10 minutes of continuous kneading, check
the condition of dough. It should be soft, a bit sticky with a slight smear under the knead bar. If too wet and sticky, add one (1)
tablespoon of flour at a time until dough gathers into a ball and does not cling to sides of pan. If too dry and motor is laboring, add
one (1) teaspoon liquid at a time until the dough becomes more pliable. Do not exceed 4 cups of flour when preparing bread to prevent
it from baking into the cover.
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
at high altitudes, 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 2 to 3 teaspoons. Some experimentation will be needed when using your bread maker at high altitudes. Make notes on
the amount of yeast and liquid used for future reference.
11
SLICING BREAD
Always allow bread to cool at least 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. If you attempt to slice the bread immediately after baking, it will
be very difficult to slice and will be sticky.
STORING BREAD
Since homemade bread contains no preservatives, it does not stay as fresh for as long as commercially made bread. Store your bread in
a plastic bag to keep it from drying out. Keep the bread at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer
storage, put the bread in the freezer. Slice before freezing so you can remove only the number of slices you need at a time.
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH CONTROL PANEL
The control panel on your bred maker was designed to be very easy to use. Before using your bread
maker, please become familiar with the control panel, as this is the “brain” of the machine. Review
the following features to better understand what each button is designed to do and the options that
are available to you when using the machine.
BREAD SELECT BUTTONS

There are eight (8) BREAD SELECT buttons for you to choose from for all the different types of
breads you will want to make, including dough’s and quick (non-yeast) breads. The BREAD
SELECT buttons offered are: basic, basic rapid, wheat, wheat rapid, sweet, French, dough,
quick bread.
Simply press the BREAD SELECT button for the type of bread being prepared. Each recipe in this
book will recommend the bread select setting to use. When the desired bread select button is
pressed, its descriptive word will appear in the display as well as the time required to complete the
bread making process. For instance, if the wheat button is pressed, the word WHEAT will appear in
the display to confirm your choice as well as the process time.
For basic and wheat breads, a rapid setting is also featured. The rapid setting shortens the total
bread making time by using fast rising or bread machine yeast which rises faster than regular active
dry yeast. The rapid settings can be a benefit if you need to make a loaf of bread on short notice.
Each recipe in this book recommends the amount of yeast to use for both active dry and fast
rising/bread machine yeast, so either can be used.
For your added convenience, an audible alert will sound during the kneading period for the basic, basic rapid, wheat, wheat rapid,
sweet and French bread settings to let you know when to add ingredients if recipe recommends doing so, such as nuts, raisins, dried
fruits, cheese, etc. This will prevent the added ingredients from becoming over-mixed or crushed during the knead cycle. If you are
not adding ingredients during the knead cycle, simply ignore the alert or use it as a checkpoint to observe the condition of the dough to
make sure it is the right consistency, making any minor adjustment if necessary. See “HOW TO MAKE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
FOR DOUGH” on page 5 of this book. The alert does not sound when using the dough or quick bread settings.
TIME DELAY BUTTONS

The TIME DELAY buttons let you program the bread maker to start at a later time, which is especially convenient if you wish to
wake up to a fresh loaf of bread in the morning or come home to a fresh loaf for dinner. DELAY can be programmed to delay the start
of the bread maker for up to 13 hours for all settings except quick bread. When using the TIME DELAY feature, no perishable
ingredients should be used, such as milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc. as these foods can spoil when held at room temperature for several
hours.
12
To use the TIME DELAY, simply prepare the recipe you wish to make, place the bread pan into the bread maker, program the
BREAD SELECT, bread color and loaf size, then enter the number of hours and minutes from when you start the bread maker to
when you want the bread done using the timer buttons. The UP TIMER button will scroll up in 10 minute intervals, whereas the
DOWN TIMER button will scroll down in 10 minute intervals. See “HOW TO USE TIME DELAY” section in this book for more
details on page 18. The delay start timer can be used with all recipes that have the symbol. After the TIME DELAY is
programmed, the words TIME DELAY will appear in the display to confirm it is working.
OVEN LIGHT BUTTON

An oven light is offered so you can easily see into the bread maker at any time. Simply press the oven light button to turn the light on.
It will stay on automatically for about 10 seconds and then turn off to save on bulb life. If you wish to have the light stay on longer,
simply press the button again to turn it back on.
BREAD COLOR BUTTON

The bread color button lets you choose three (3) different crust colors for you breads. With each press of the bread color button, the
following words will appear in the display: LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK. Select the desired bread color you wish.
LOAF SIZE BUTTON

You can prepare either a 1½ or 2 pound loaf of bread and recipes for both sizes are included in this book. Simply press the loaf size
button for the size of the loaf being prepared. With each press of the button, 1½ LB and 2 LB will alternately appear in the display.
Selecting the loaf size is important as the programming is different to ensure the optimum results for both sizes. The total bread
making time will automatically be figured and appear in the display after the loaf size choice has been made.
EXTEND RISE BUTTON

At times, you may wish to let the dough rise longer than what is automatically programmed into the bread maker. The extend rise
button allows you to extend the final rise time by 10 or 20 minutes.
You have two opportunities to extend the rise time if you wish. One, when programming the control before starting the machine, and
another, when the alert sounds near the end of the final rise period before baking begins.
OPTION 1
To program the extend rise before bread making begins, simply program the BREAD SELECT, bread color, loaf size and then extend
rise. To activate extend rise, push the extend rise button once for 10 minutes of extra rise time or twice for 20 minutes of extra rise
time. EXTEND 10 or EXTEND 20 will appear in the display depending on your choice. The total process time in the display will also
be adjusted for this addition. Then program TIME DELAY if being used.
OPTION 2
To program the extend rise feature at the end of the final rise, providing you are present to do this, an alert will sound 5 minutes before
the bake cycle begins to alert you to check the height of the dough in the bread pan. If you wish to extend the rise time for a bigger
loaf, press the extend rise button once for 10 minutes, twice for 20 minutes of extra rising time. EXTEND 10 or EXTEND 20 will
appear in the display depending on the choice made.
If you decide to cancel out the extend rise, simply press the extend rise button until the word EXTEND disappears from the display.
See guidelines on how high the dough should be in the pan before extending the rise on page 19. This will prevent the dough from
over-rising and baking into the top of the bread maker.
CRUST TREATMENT
To add a special decorative touch to your loaves of bread, you may perform crust treatments before the loaves are baked. The extend
rise alert can also be used as a reminder to treat the crust, such as slashing down the center and drizzling butter in the slit for a butter
split top. Or you can make several diagonal slashes across the top for French or rye bread, or any other type of decoration you may
wish to add. See “DECORATIVE CRUST TREATMENT” section in this book on page 19 for more information.
13
ON/OFF BUTTON
Use this button to turn the machine on and off. Before starting the machine, you must first program the BREAD SELECT, bread
color, loaf size, plus extend rise and TIME DELAY, if being used. Then press the on/off button once to turn on. When on, the red
signal light by the button will glow and remain lit until the bread maker is turned off. To turn bread maker off, press and hold on/off
button down for about four (4) seconds or until the red light goes out.
Once you have started the machine, the colon between the hours and minutes will begin to flash and the minutes will begin to count
down. If not using the TIME DELAY, words describing the actual cycle the bread maker is in will appear in display, such as
PREHEAT, KNEAD, RISE, and BAKE, so you know exactly what cycle the bread maker is in. The process time continues to count
down in minutes so you always know how much time remains before the bread will be done.
When the process time elapses, 0:00 will appear in the display and an audible alert will sound to let you know the bread is done. Turn
bread maker off by holding down the on/off button until the red on light goes out. Remove the bread pan using oven mitts and place
hot loaf of bread onto a rack to cool before slicing.
If the bread pan is not removed from bread maker immediately after baking, the machine will automatically go into a KEEP WARM
mode for up to three (3) hours to keep the bread warm. The red on light will remain lit during this time, plus the words KEEP
WARM will appear in the display. If the machine is not turned off during this three (3) hour period, the machine will automatically
turn off.
If using the dough or quick bread settings, the machine will turn off automatically upon the completion of the cycle, the red light will
go out and an alert will sound. Remove pan containing the dough or quick bread immediately using oven mitts. For dough, finish as
recommended in recipe being prepared. For quick bread, cool bread in pan for time recommended in recipe to ensure release from
pan when removed.
TOO HOT/TOO COLD WARNING

If inside of oven chamber is too hot or too cold for bread making, the words “Too Hot” or “Too Cold” will appear in display along
with alert sounding to indicate that machine cannot be turned on. You will need to remove pan and allow chamber to cool or warm
accordingly.
Typically “Too Hot” will appear in display when you make consecutive loaves and forget to turn machine off between loaves. Allow
chamber to cool with cover open 10 to 15 minutes or until machine can be turned on without warning going off. If “Too Cold”
appears in display, move bread maker to a warmer area for 15 minutes or until machine can be turned on without warning going off.
If oven is too hot, the yeast can be killed; if too cold, the growth of the yeast will be retarded.
HOW KNEAD BARS WORK

The knead bars in your bread maker are unique as the blades are designed to move up and down depending on the direction the motor
is turning. For kneading, the blades will be in the up position to provide thorough kneading action, however, near the end of the knead
cycle, the motor will stop and reverse direction so the knead bars will lie flat in the pan, leaving less of an imprint in the bottom of the
bread. In order to ensure that the blades can move freely up and down, be sure to keep the metal hinge pin area on hubs clean. See
“CLEAN AFTER EACH USE” section on page 20.
CLEAN BEFORE USING

Press PAN RELEASE button to unlock pan from bread maker. Lift pan out.
SPECIAL NOTE: The bread pan is not immersible and should never be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Immersing the pan in
water can cause damage to the bearings that turn the knead bars. Dishwasher cleaning can reduce the non-stick qualities of the coating,
causing the bread to stick.
14
Before using your bread maker for the first time, wash the inside of pan and the two knead bars with hot soapy water and a soft cloth,
rinse and dry. The knead bars lift off the shafts in the bottom of pan and are made of two parts. See Diagram 8. Do not use any
abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on pan or knead bars as damage can occur.
Wipe the inside of chamber and outside surfaces of machine with a soft damp cloth if necessary, dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.
Your bread maker is now ready to use.
HOW TO USE-BASIC STEPS IN MAKING BREAD

1. Assemble both knead bars matching same colored parts. See Diagram 8.
Position knead bars onto correct shafts in bottom of pan, matching the hub shape
to the shaft shape. Note that one shaft is shaped like a D and the other a to
easily recognize the difference. Do not attempt to interchange the hubs on the
shafts as damage to the bread maker will occur. See Diagram 9 for proper
positioning of knead bars on shafts. Make sure both knead bars are pushed down
onto the shafts all the way. The blades of the knead bars will lie flat in the bottom
of the pan, which is normal.
2. Add ingredients to pan in order listed in recipes, MAKING SURE to add all
liquids to pan first, then the butter or margarine, followed by the dry ingredients
and finally the yeast. After the dry ingredients are added to pan, tap pan to settle
dry ingredients, then level ingredients, pushing some of the dry mixture into
corners of pan. This will prevent any liquid from seeping up from the corners.
Make a slight well in center of dry ingredients and add the yeast to the well. This
is especially important when using the TIME DELAY to prevent the yeast from
getting wet too soon.
3. Lock bread pan into bread maker by angling back edge of pan into oval shaped
holder. Then firmly push front edge of pan down to lock in place. See Diagram 11
for more details. If pan does not lock in securely, push PAN RELEASE button
and position again until secured. Pan must always be locked in place for bread
maker to function properly. Always make sure the side of the pan marked FRONT
is positioned to the front. Close door.
15
4. Plug bread maker cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY. Press desired BREAD SELECT button for the type of bread
being made. The chosen setting will appear in display along with the process time. Press bread color button for desired crust color,
LIGHT, MEDIUM, or DARK, which will appear in display. If you pass by desired bread color, just continue to press the bread color
button until desired color appears in display. Press loaf size button for size of loaf being prepared, 1½ LB or 2 LB, which will also
appear in display. The total process time for the selections made will appear in display.
5. Program EXTEND RISE if being used. See instructions on page 13. Program TIME DELAY if being used. See instructions on
pages 12 and 13.
6. Press on/off button once to turn machine on. When turned on, the red light by the button will glow and the colon between hours and
minutes will flash. After the bread maker has been turned on, the programmed settings cannot be changed. If you wish to change
settings, hold on/off button down until red light goes out. Then program control as desired and turn back on. The bread making
process will then begin; with the word PREHEAT appearing in the display to let you know which cycle the machine is in. The
PREHEAT period time varies from 5 to 15 minutes depending on the bread selection made. During the PREHEAT period; you may
hear faint clicking sounds which is normal as gentle heat is being provided to warm the pan and ingredients before kneading.
As the cycle advances and the time counts down, the words KNEAD, RISE and BAKE will appear in display. If the recipe
recommends adding ingredients during the KNEAD cycle, add them when the alert sounds to prevent over-mixing. Simply open the
door and add to pan. DO NOT STOP THE MACHINE TO ADD INGREDIENTS. The added ingredients will be mixed into the
dough during the remainder of the kneading cycle.
Press the oven light button any time to look inside bread maker to check its progress.
The EXTEND RISE alert will sound near the end of final rise cycle before baking begins at the six (6) yeast bread settings. If you
wish to extend the rise time for a larger loaf, press extend rise button once for 10 extra minutes; twice for 20 extra minutes of rise. See
guidelines on how high the dough should be before extend rise is used to prevent the bread from over rising and baking into the cover
on page 19.
Any crust treatment can also be done at this time before baking begins. See page 19 for more details on crust treatments.
CAUTION: To avoid burn injury, do not touch door, glass window, vent or sidewalls of bread maker during the bake cycle, as these
surfaces are hot.
7. When cycle is complete, 0:00 will appear in display and an audible alert will sound. Turn bread maker off by holding on/off button
down until on light goes out. The just completed program will reappear in display. Unplug cord from electrical outlet.
It is best to remove the bread immediately from machine for a crispier crust. Open door, press PAN RELEASE button and lift pan out
using oven mitts. Handle bread pan carefully as it is hot. See Diagram 13.
CAUTION: To avoid burn injury, always use oven-mitts to remove the hot bread
pan from bread maker and when removing the baked loaf of bread from pan. Do not
allow oven mitts to touch the hot heating element in bottom of bread maker when
removing pan.
CAUTION: If using hot pads rather than oven-mitts for removing hot bread pan
from bread maker, be careful not to allow pads to touch hot heating elements as they
can become singed or even start on fire if not careful. See Diagram 14.
16
Invert bread pan and shake until loaf falls out. See page 24 if loaf is difficult to remove from pan. Place loaf of bread onto a rack to
cool for at least 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. If bread is not removed immediately after cycle is complete, the bread maker will
automatically go into a KEEP WARM mode for up to three (3) hours. The on light will remain lit during this time and the words
KEEP WARM will appear in the display as a reminder. When removing the bread pan during KEEP WARM period, always use
oven mitts as pan will still be hot. Turn bread maker off by holding on/off button down until on light goes out. Unplug cord from
electrical outlet after use. If bread maker is not turned off during keep warm period, it will automatically shut itself off after three (3)
hours, the signal light will go out and the words KEEP WARM will disappear from display.
CAUTION: To avoid burn injury, do not put hands inside oven chamber or touch heating unit after completion of the bake cycle as
these surfaces are hot.
HOW TO USE DOUGH SETTING
The dough setting will prepare dough for you for hand shaping/forming and baking in your own oven. Use this setting when you wish
to make dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, donuts, bread sticks or even traditional shaped loaves of bread. The TIME DELAY can be used
with the dough setting. The bread color and loaf size buttons do not need to be programmed for dough setting.
Follow these steps when using the dough setting:
1. Assemble both knead bars and position them onto correct shafts in bottom of pan. See Diagrams 8 and 9 on page 15. Make sure
both knead bars are pushed down onto the shafts. The blades of knead bars will lie flat in bottom of pan.
2. Add ingredients to pan in order listed in recipe, MAKING sure to add any liquids first, butter or margarine, next, followed by the
dry ingredients and then the yeast on top. After the dry ingredients are added, tap pan to settle ingredients, then level ingredients,
pushing some of the dry mixture into corners of pan. This will prevent any liquid from seeping up from the corners. Make a slight well
in center of dry ingredients and add the yeast to the well. This is especially important when using the TIME DELAY to prevent the
yeast from getting wet too soon.
3. Lock pan into bread maker. See Diagram 11 on page 15. Pan must always be locked in place for bread maker to function properly.
Always make sure the side of pan marked FRONT is positioned to the front. Close door.
4. Plug bread maker cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY. Press the dough button on control panel. The word DOUGH will
appear in display along with the process time of 1:30 (1 hour, 30 minutes). Program TIME DELAY if desired. See instructions on
page 18.
5. Press on/off button once to turn machine on. When turned on, the red light by button will glow and the colon between hours and
minutes will flash.
The ingredients and pan will be preheated for 15 minutes. Then the dough will begin to mix, be kneaded and allowed to rise before
being stirred down. At this time, 0:00 will appear in display and an audible alert will sound to let you know the dough is done. Press
PAN RELEASE button, lift pan out and remove dough. Follow recipe directions to complete recipe. The bread maker will
automatically turn itself off after the dough cycle is complete and the red on light will go out. Unplug cord from electrical outlet after
cycle is complete.
HOW TO USE QUICK BREAD SETTING

Your bread maker has a special setting to make quick breads, such as banana nut, cranberry, zucchini, date nut, etc. Quick breads are
different from yeast breads as they do not use yeast for leavening and do not require any rising time before baking. The ingredients
need only be mixed until moistened and then baked immediately. Baking soda or powder are used as the leavening agent. Either box
mixes or scratch recipes can be prepared following these guidelines:
1. Always use both knead bars for mixing quick breads. Assemble bars and attach to shafts. See Diagrams 8 and 9 on page 15.
2. Always grease bread pan and knead bars generously per recipe directions. Use solid shortening whenever possible to grease pan.
We do not recommend the use of vegetable cooking sprays on the bread pan as sticking problems can result.
3. Add ingredients to pan in this sequence: any liquids first, followed by fruits or nuts, then the dry ingredients.
17
4. Lock pan into bread maker with FRONT side facing you. See Diagram 11 on page 15. Close door. Program for quick bread.
Press on/off button to turn machine on. The ingredients will be mixed and then baked. If flour residue remains around edge of pan
after the first minute of mixing, open door and use a rubber scraper to clean the pan so the flour gets mixed in. Close door.
CAUTION: Be careful to avoid pinching rubber scraper between pan and knead bars, or damage to machine or rubber scraper could
occur.
5. Since baking time will vary between box mixes and scratch recipes, the machine is preset to be in the bake mode for a total of 87
minutes, which will be long enough to bake any type of quick bread you choose. You may wish to set a separate timer for the
minimum bake time given in recipe to check for doneness, or you can use the alerts that will sound automatically after 57, 67 and 77
minutes of baking as a reminder to check for doneness. The time will count down in the display so you always know how much time
remains in the cycle.
Check for doneness at minimum time by inserting a toothpick in center crack. The toothpick should come out clean. Continue baking
if necessary. Turn machine off by holding on/off button down until on light goes out, about four (4) seconds. Press PAN RELEASE
button to unlock pan. Use oven mitts to remove pan. Allow bread to cool in pan on rack for time specified in recipe before removing.
If not allowed to cool in pan, bread will stick and break apart when removed. After cooling in pan, run a smooth edged plastic tool
around outside of bread to aid in loosening, if necessary, then shake bread out of pan. Cool completely on rack before slicing.
HOW TO USE TIME DELAY

The TIME DELAY can be used at all six bread settings as well as at the dough setting. It cannot be used at the quick bread setting.
Follow steps 1-4 for making bread on pages 15 and 16 or dough on page 17. Use only recipes with the symbol with the TIME
DELAY as these recipes do not contain any perishable ingredients that can spoil when left at room temperature for several hours.
NEVER use perishable ingredients, such as milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc., with the TIME DELAY as these ingredients can spoil
before the bread making process begins.
After completing the above steps, continue with the following:
1. Count the number of hours and minutes between the time you will start the machine to when you
want the bread or dough to be done. For Example: You are ready to start the machine at 9:30 and want
the bread done at 6:00. The number of hours and minutes between 9:30 and 6:00 is 8½ hours or 8:30.
8:30 is the time you enter into the timer. Press and hold the (up) timer button to scroll the time up in 10-minute increments until
8:30 appears in display. If you go past 8:30, use the (down) timer button to scroll down in 10-minute increments until you reach
8:30. The maximum time for timer is 13 hours (13:00). The bread or dough process time is automatically figured into the delay time,
as this is the time from which you begin to count up.
2. Press on/off button once to turn the machine on. The red on light will glow, the colon between hour and
minutes will flash and the words TIME DELAY will appear in display along with the programmed bread or
dough selection. Timer will begin counting down in minutes. When timer reaches the programmed bread or dough
process time, the machine will begin making the bread or dough. When done, 0:00 will appear in display and
audible alert will sound that it is done. If in bread mode, the machine will automatically go into the KEEP WARM cycle for up to
three hours or until the machine will automatically turn itself off when dough is done. Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Remove
bread or dough from machine. Always use oven mitts when removing hot bread pan from bread maker after baking. Cool loaf on rack
15 to 30 minutes before slicing.
CAUTION: To avoid burn injury, do not touch cover, vent or sidewalls of bread maker during the bake cycle, as these surfaces are
hot. Do not put hands inside oven chamber or touch the heating unit after completion of the bake cycle, as these surfaces are also hot.
18
EXTEND RISE GUIDELINES
Use the following as a guide as to whether or not you should extend the rise period when the alert sounds near the end of the final rise
period, before the bake cycle begins.
For 1½ pound loaves, the dough should be about ¾-inch below to just below the top edge of pan in the center when the alert sounds.
(The dough in the ends of the pan will be lower).
For 2 pound loaves, the dough should be about ½-inch below to just above the top edge of pan in the center when alert sounds. (The
dough in the ends of the pan will be lower).
If the dough is below these guidelines for the respective loaf size, extend the rise by 10 or 20 minutes depending on the relationship in
height. Pressing the extend rise button once will extend the rise 10 minutes. Pressing the button again will extend the rise 20 minutes.
The selected item will appear in display. Typically, the dough will rise about ¼-inch in 10 minutes. If you wish to cancel out any
remaining extend rise time to initiate baking faster, simply hold the extend rise button down until the word EXTEND disappears from
display. The bake cycle will then begin.
SPECIAL NOTE: DO NOT extend the rise if the dough is within the ranges given above, as the dough will continue to rise during
the initial part of the bake cycle and can actually rise an additional 1 to 1½ inches. This will prevent the bread from baking into the top
of the bread maker. If the dough does bake into the top of bread maker, open door and poke with a toothpick in several places. The top
of the crust will not be perfect as a result of this, but it will ensure that the crust browns on top.
DECORATIVE CRUST TREATMENT

For a special touch, you can create breads with decorative crusts, whether slashed or slit or just oiled and sprinkled with some seeds or
herbs. Follow these guidelines for adding a decorative touch to the crust before baking begins. At the end of the final (3rd) rise, five (5)
minutes before the bake cycle begins, an audible alert will sound to remind you to both check the height of the dough and to extend
the rise if needed, and also to perform any crust treatment if desired. If you wish to treat the crust, simply open the door, push PAN
RELEASE button and carefully remove bread pan from bread maker using oven mitts. Handle pan gently to prevent dough from
collapsing. DO NOT TURN BREAD MAKER OFF TO PERFORM CRUST TREATEMENT.
Slash top of dough with a sharp knife, about ¼ to ½ inch deep for desired design. See Diagram 18 below for ideas. Gently brush
surface of dough with oil or melted butter and sprinkle with seeds, herbs, coarse salt or grated Parmesan or Romano cheese or other
desired topping that will not melt during the bake cycle. Carefully return pan to bread maker using oven mitts, making sure it is locked
securely in place. Close door. Bread will begin to bake shortly.
Crusts can also be decorated after baking. For a dusted top, simply sprinkle flour or powdered sugar over top of crust after loaf is
removed from bread pan. No buttering or oiling is necessary. Or, brush top crust with melted butter and sprinkle with desired seed,
herbs, coarse salt or grated cheese. Bread can also be iced if desired such as raisin bread. Allow bread to cool 30 minutes on rack
before drizzling with icing or frosting with thick icing.
These are just a few suggestions you may wish to try. Let your imagination create some more ideas.
19
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 non-stick qualities of the coating, causing the bread to stick.
1. Unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow bread maker to cool before cleaning.
2. The bread pan and knead bar must be cleaned after each use to ensure performance. After bread is removed from pan, fill pan
half full with warm water and small amount of dish soap. Set pan in empty sink or on hot pad and allow to soak for 5 to 10
minutes or until knead bar can be lifted off shaft. Twist bar slightly to loosen. The knead bar must soak in water before it can be
removed. Wash inside of pan and knead bar with a soft cloth, rinse and dry. Replace bar on shaft.
SPECIAL NOTE: The exposed metal pins on the knead bar hubs must be kept clean of any starchy flour residue to ensure proper
performance. If not kept clean, the blades will not be able to move up and down for kneading of the dough. For easier cleaning of
these pins, use a corner of knead bar blade to scrape pin surface clean while flushing under water. See Diagram 20.
Be sure that shaft in pan is kept clean so that knead bar fits properly. DO NOT use any type of utensil or tool to clean the
gasket around the shaft as damage will occur and result in leakage. DO NOT use any abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on
bread pan or knead bar as damage to finish can occur. The coating inside of bread pan may change color over time, which is
normal and does not affect the bread or dough.
3. Reassemble knead bars and position back onto correct shafts in bottom of pan. See Diagrams 8 and 9 on page 15.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other
liquid.
4. Wipe inside of chamber and outside surfaces of bread maker with a damp cloth if necessary. The cover is removable for
cleaning if needed. Simply open it 90 degrees and lift up to disengage from hinge pins. Wipe cover with a damp, soapy cloth and
dry. DO NOT immerse cover in water or place in automatic dishwasher as water will get in between the parts and cause damage.
Replace cover by aligning socket openings over hinge pins. Lower door onto pins. Door should move freely from side to side
after being replaced. See Diagram 5 on page 9 for removing and replacing door.
20
BREAKDOWN OF BREAD/DOUGH CYCLES
So you know what is going on inside the bread maker during the process time, the following chart breaks down the time in
minutes that each cycle requires. The total process time is also given in hours and minutes, depending on the bread color and loaf
size selections made.
21
PREHEAT – During the PREHEAT cycle, gentle heat is provided to warm the pan and ingredients before the mixing and kneading
begins. You may hear faint clicking sounds during this PREHEAT period which is normal and indicates the bread maker is working
properly. As noted in the preceding cycle chart, the PREHEAT period ranges from 5 to 15 minutes.
KNEAD – At the beginning of the KNEAD cycle, the motor will start and stop to moisten the ingredients before the continuous
kneading action begins. The dough is kneaded for a specified time depending on the type of bread and size loaf being prepared. The
majority of the kneading is done with the knead bars in the forward direction. During the last five (5) minutes, the motor will reverse
and the knead bar blades will lie flat in the pan to finish the kneading. Kneading time varies between 22 and 27 minutes. Kneading
times are a bit longer at the wheat settings to better develop the gluten in whole-wheat flour.
SPECIAL NOTES:
• An alert will sound midway through the KNEAD cycle of the six (6) yeast BREAD SELECT settings as a reminder to add
ingredients, such as raisins, nuts, cheese, etc., if the recipes recommend doing so. This will prevent over-mixing or crushing of
added ingredients. If you are not adding ingredients, simply ignore this alert when it sounds. This alert does not sound for dough or
quick bread settings.
• You can also use this alert to remind you to check the condition of the dough during the kneading period for any minor
adjustment that may be needed. See “SPECIAL NOTES ON FLOUR” section on page 5.
RISE (1) – After the dough is kneaded, it is allowed to rise for a certain amount of time. You may hear faint clicking sounds during
the RISE cycle as gentle heat is being provided to keep the chamber warm.
STIR-DOWN (1) (KNEAD) – After the dough has risen, it is then stirred down by the knead bars to remove excess carbon dioxide
gas created by the yeast. The motor will start and stop during this stir-down, which is normal.
RISE (2) – The bread dough is then allowed to rise again, but for a shorter period of time.
STIR-DOWN (2) (KNEAD) – after the shorter rise time, the dough is again stirred down by the knead bars to remove excess gas and
also to shape the dough for the final rise. This final stir down ensures that the bread will have good texture.
RISE (3) – The dough then goes into the final RISE to achieve its maximum height. Again you may hear faint clicking sounds during
the RISE as gentle heat is provided to keep the chamber warm.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Five (5) minutes before the final RISE is over, an alert will sound to remind you of two things: ONE, to check the height of the
dough and determine if you want to extend the rise, TWO, to perform any decorative crust treatment before the bake cycle begins. See
page 19 for more information on this.
BAKE – The bread is then baked for the specified time depending on the bread color chosen, LIGHT, MEDIUM, or DARK. An
audible alert will sound when the bread is done and 0:00 will appear in the display. If the bread maker is not turned off, it will
automatically go into KEEP WARM mode for up to three (3) hours. When bread is removed, turn machine off by holding on button
down until red on/off light goes out, about four (4) seconds.
QUICK BREADS are different from yeast breads and dough as they do not use yeast, and the batter needs only to be mixed and
baked immediately. No rising is required. See “HOW TO USE QUICK BREAD SETTING” section for more details on pages 17 and
18.

BASIC BREAD SETTINGS
- The recipes in this section can be made at the basic and basic rapid bread settings. The TIME DELAY can be used with
the recipes with the symbol.
- Active dry, bread machine or fast rising yeast may be used in the recipes. Active dry yeast should be used at the basic
setting; bread machine or fast rising yeast at the basic rapid setting. Use the recommended amount for the type of yeast
being used. Bread machine and fast rising yeast are interchangeable. ALWAYS make a well in center of dry ingredients
for the yeast. This is especially important when using the TIME DELAY to prevent the yeast from becoming wet before
the bread making process begins.
- Use LUKEWARM water, about 80º F, to activate the yeast for best results. DO NOT USE HOT WATER, above 100º F,
as this can kill the yeast.
- Milk can be used directly from the refrigerator as it will be gently warmed during the PREHEAT period before kneading
begins. If you wish to warm the milk, you can, but do not heat above 80º F.
- If cold butter or margarine is used, cut into four (4) pieces, placing in bottom of pan with liquid for faster blending.
- Start with MEDIUM bread color setting the first time you make a loaf. Make a comment at the bottom of each recipe if
you wish to use the LIGHT or DARK bread color setting the next time you prepare the recipe.
- An audible alert will sound during the KNEAD cycle to let you know when to add ingredients if recipe recommends
doing so. This will prevent these added ingredients from becoming over-mixed or crushed. Simply open door when alert
sounds and add the ingredients. Close door. Do not turn bread maker off when adding ingredients. If you are not adding
ingredients, simply ignore this alert.
- If bread maker labors during the kneading period, the dough is too dry. Add one (1) tablespoon warm water at a time
until the dough softens. Do not add too much extra water as this can cause the bread to collapse or be under-baked. The
bread dough should be soft and a bit sticky to the touch after kneading. See “SPECIAL NOTES ON FLOUR” section for
more details on page 5.
- An audible alert will sound at the end of the final (3rd) rise period, at both bread settings, as a reminder to check the
height of the dough and determine if the rise should be extended to obtain a higher loaf of bread. See “EXTEND RISE
GUIDELINES”. This alert can also be used as a reminder to perform any decorative crust treatment before the bake cycle
begins. See “DECORATIVE CRUST TREATMENT” section.

• Start with MEDIUM bread color setting the first time you make a loaf. Make a comment at the bottom of each recipe if you wish
to use the LIGHT or DARK bread color setting the next time you prepare the recipe.
• Recipes containing 50% or more whole grain flour, grains or cereals will benefit from the longer kneading time at the wheat
settings. If the bread collapses during the bake cycle, especially when using 100% whole grain flours, add one (1) or 1½ tablespoons
vital wheat gluten to the recipe the next time for the respective loaf size, or add one (1) large egg, reducing the recommended
amount of liquid by two (2) ounces. Egg will add protein for better structure; vital gluten also adds protein for better structure and is
available at most health food stores. Watch the dough during the knead cycle to see if any minor adjustment in liquid or flour is
needed.
• Whole grain breads are typically shorter in height and dense in texture than breads made with bread flour.
• Stone-ground wheat flour is coarser than the steel-ground wheat flour and as a result, breads made with stone-ground flour will be
shorter. You may want to add vital gluten to the dry ingredients if using stone-ground wheat flour or other stone or coarse ground
flours for best results. Add 1 tablespoon for the 1½ pound loaf; 1½ tablespoons for the 2 pound loaf.
• If bread maker labors during the kneading period, the dough is too dry. Add one (1) tablespoon warm water at a time until the

- Start with MEDIUM bread color setting the first time you make a loaf. Make a comment at the bottom of each recipe if you wish to
use the LIGHT or DARK bread color setting the next time you prepare the recipe. Breads made at the French setting will have a
thick, chewy crust that will be lighter in color than other breads as typically less sugar and fat are used in these breads which affect
browning.

SOURDOUGH STARTER RECIPE
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons plain, nonfat yogurt
1 cup bread flour
1. In saucepan or microwave, heat milk to 100º F. Remove from heat and stir in yogurt with a wooden or plastic spoon. Do not use
metal utensils. Pour mixture into a warm glass, ceramic or plastic 6-cup bowl with a tight fitting lid. Do not use a metal bowl. Cover
and let stand in a warm place 18 to 24 hours or until mixture is consistency of yogurt. When clear liquid forms on top of mixture, stir
to blend in. If liquid turns pink in color, discard mixture and start over with fresh ingredients.
2. After mixture thickens, stir in 1-cup bread flour. Cover bowl tightly and let stand in warm place until mixture bubbles and has a
sour smell, 2 to 5 days. Any clear liquid that forms on top of mixture can be stirred in. If the liquid turns pink in color, discard mixture
and start over with fresh ingredients. Makes about 1⅓ cups. Use starter immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use. See
instructions below for proper use and maintenance of starter.
TO USE AND MAINTAIN SOURDOUGH STARTER

1. Remove amount of room temperature starter as needed for recipe. If starter was refrigerated, allow to sit at room temperature 12 to
24 hours or until bubbly. Stir in clear liquid that forms and remove mount needed for recipe.
2. Replenish starter every time some is removed with equal amounts of warm milk and bread flour. For example, if 1 cup of starter
was removed to make bread, replenish remaining starter with 1 cup of warm, 100º F milk and 1 cup of bread flour. Stir well to blend,
cover bowl and let stand in warm place until bubbly, 12 to 24 hours. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate until used, allowing to
set at room temperature 12 to 24 hours before using as noted in Step 1. If at any time liquid on surface of mixture turns pink in color,
discard mixture and start over with fresh ingredients.
SOURDOUGH TIPS
-Do not use metal bowls or spoons to store and/or stir starter.
-If starter is not going to be used immediately, cover and refrigerate. The clear liquid that forms on the surface should be stirred in
once a week.
-If the liquid that forms on surface of starter turns pink in color at any time, discard the starter and start over again with fresh
ingredients.
-Starter should always be at room temperature before it is used.
-Thickness of starter will vary, therefore when making the first loaf of sourdough bread, observe dough during the kneading cycle. If
the dough seems too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until dough is soft and elastic. If dough is too wet and does not form a ball
of dough, add 1tablespoon bread flour at a time until dough forms into a nice ball.
-The sour taste of the bread will vary with the tartness of the starter. Note that the recipes provide amounts of starter to use for mild
and strong sourdough flavor. You may wish to start with the mild flavored recipe first.
-Sourdough bread made in a bread machine usually requires the addition of yeast as most starters are not strong enough to be used
alone for proper rising of bread in the programmed times.
-To increase the supply of starter, feed with 2 cups of bread flour and 2 cups off 100º F milk.
-To share starter with a friend, give 2 cups away, 1 cup to use immediately and the second cup to feed and maintain supply.

SWEET BREAD SETTING
• The recipes in this section can be made at the sweet bread setting. The TIME DELAY can be used with the recipes that have a
symbol.
• Active dry, bread machine or fast rising yeast may be used in the recipes. Use the recommended amount for the type of yeast
being used. Bread machine and fast rising yeast are interchangeable. ALWAYS make a well in center of dry ingredients for the
yeast. This is especially important when using the TIME DELAY to prevent the yeast from becoming wet before the bread making
process begins.
• Use LUKEWARM water, about 80º F, to activate the yeast for best results. DO NOT USE HOT WATER, above 100º F, as this
can kill the yeast.
• Start with MEDIUM bread color setting the first time you make a loaf. Make a comment at the bottom of each recipe if you wish
to use the LIGHT or DARK bread color setting the next time you prepare the recipe. Breads made at the sweet setting usually have
more sugar and therefore, the crusts will be a bit darker.
should be soft and a bit sticky to the touch after kneading. See “SPECIAL NOTES ON FLOUR” section for more details.
• An audible alert will sound during the knead cycle at both bread settings to let you know when to add ingredients if recipe
recommends doing so. This will prevent these added ingredients from becoming over mixed or crushed. Simply open door when
alert sounds and add the ingredients. Close door. Do not turn bread maker off when adding ingredients. If you are not adding
ingredients, simply ignore the alert.
• An audible alert will sound at the end of the final (3rd) rise period, at both bread settings, as a reminder to check the height of the
dough and determine if the rise should be extended to obtain a higher loaf of bread. See “EXTEND RISE GUIDELINES” section
for more details. This alert can also be used as a reminder to perform any decorative crust treatment before the bake cycle begins.
See “DECORATIVE CRUST TREATMENT” section for more details.

DOUGH SETTING
The recipes in this section can be made at the dough setting. The dough setting will prepare the dough for you by kneading it and then
letting it rise abut 51 minutes before being stirred down by the knead bars. You then remove the dough from the pan, shape as desired
and let it rise at room temperature before baking in your own oven.
• The TIME DELAY can be used with the recipes that have a symbol. The bread color, loaf size and extend rise buttons cannot
be activated at the dough setting as they do not apply to making dough.
• Active dry, bread machine or fast rising yeast may be used in the recipes. Use the recommended amount for the type of yeast
being used. Bread machine and fast rising yeast are interchangeable. ALWAYS make a well in center of dry ingredients for the
yeast. This is especially important when using the TIME DELAY to prevent the yeast from becoming wet before the bread making
process begins.
• Use LUKEWARM water, about 80º F, to activate the yeast for best results. DO NOT USE HOW WATER, above 100º F, as this
can kill the yeast.

should be soft and a bit sticky to the touch after kneading.
• Make sure to remove the dough from pan after completion of cycle. An audible alert will sound and the machine will
automatically turn off when the dough cycle is complete. If the dough is left inside the machine, it will continue to rise and could
over-rise if left inside long enough, possibly flowing into the oven chamber.
• Most of your favorite yeast dough recipes can be prepared in your bread maker at the dough setting; however, do not exceed four
(4) cups of flour as the dough may not be kneaded properly. Some minor adjustment may be needed during the knead period for
proper condition of the dough. See “SPECIAL NOTES ON FLOUR” section for details on making minor adjustments to the dough
during the kneading period on page 5.
• Dough can be refrigerated up to three (3) to four (4) days for later use if desired. Simply remove dough from pan and place into
an oiled bowl, turn dough over to oil top and cover tightly. Or, put dough into an oiled plastic bag and seal. Check dough daily and
punch down if needed. When ready to use, shape, rise and bake as recipe directs.
• To freeze dough, shape as recipe directs and wrap tightly. Dough can be frozen for up to one month. When ready to use, remove
from freezer and thaw in refrigerator or at room temperature. Keep covered to prevent the dough from drying out. Once thawed,
allow dough to rise until doubled in size, then bake as directed.

QUICK BREAD SETTING

-The recipes in this section can be made at the quick bread setting. This setting is unique as it simply mixes the ingredients for three
(3) minutes, then immediately goes into the BAKE cycle. No yeast is used in these breads, therefore, no rise periods are needed.
-Scratch recipes and packaged quick bread mixes can be prepared, plus you can adapt your own favorite quick bread recipes following
the guidelines given in this section.
-The TIME DELAY cannot be used with the quick bread setting as eggs are used which can spoil when left at room temperature for
several hours. The bread color and loaf size buttons cannot be activated at the quick bread setting, nor can the extend rise feature of
keep warm cycle be utilized as these do not apply to quick breads.
-Use all-purpose flour, not bread flour, in these recipes for best results.
-Always be sure to generously grease the inside of pan and knead bars with solid vegetable shortening to ensure good release of the
bread after baking. If this is not done, the bread will stick. We do not recommend the use of vegetable cooking sprays to grease the
pan as it can leave a residue, which can cause future sticking problems.
- Always use room temperature, softened butter or margarine to ensure even blending during the mix cycle. Also, cut the butter or
margarine into small pieces for even blending. If using solid vegetable shortening, it too should be cut into small pieces for even
blending. If refrigerated butter or margarine is used, it will not be blended into the mixture during the brief mix cycle.
51
QUICK BREAD SETTING (continued)
-After one (1) minute of mixing, scrape sides of pan with a rubber scraper to clean off any flour residue, otherwise a flour ring will be
left. Do not turn bread maker off or unlock or remove pan to scrape sides during mixing, simply scrape sides while machine is mixing.
-After the mix cycle is complete, the bread maker will go into the BAKE cycle for a total of 87 minutes to accommodate the different
types of quick breads that can be made. Audible alerts will sound after 57, 67 and 77 minutes of baking as a reminder to check the
doneness of the bread. The time will count down in display so you always know how much time remains in the BAKE cycle. You
may also wish to set a separate timer to ensure that you check the doneness at the appropriate time. It is best to set a timer for the
minimum baking time given in the recipe being made to prevent over baking. Check for doneness by opening the door and inserting a
toothpick in the center of the crack that forms on the bread. The toothpick should come out clean when done. If it comes out wet,
continue baking, checking it every 5 to 10 minutes, until done.
-After bread is done, turn bread maker off, unlock pan and remove with oven-mitts. Allow pan containing bread to cool on rack for
time directed before removing. If not allowed to cool in pan, bread will stick. You may wish to run a smooth edged spatula around the
edge of bread before removing to ensure complete release. After bread is removed from pan, allow to cool before slicing.

BREAD SELECT SETTING TO USE: QUICK BREAD
1. Grease inside of pan and knead bars generously with vegetable shortening.
2. Add all ingredients in order listed to pan. Lock pan into bread maker.
3. Program BREAD SELECT for quick bread. Turn bread maker on. The ingredients will be mixed and then the bread will be baked.
During the mixing period, use a rubber scraper to clean off flour from sides of pan. Do not remove pan to scrape sides, leave pan
locked in place when scraping flour off sides.
4. Bake 60 to 70 minutes or until done. Set a separate timer for minimum baking time, or use alerts that sound after 57, 67 and 77
minutes of baking. The oven will stay on for a total of 87 minutes. Check doneness by inserting toothpick in center of crack.
Toothpick should come out clean.
5. When done, turn off, release pan tan then remove pan with oven mitts. Allow bread to cool in pan on rack at least 15 minutes
before attempting to remove. You may wish to run a smooth edged plastic spatula around edge of bread to help loosen from pan
before removing. Cool completely on rack before slicing.

PACKAGED QUICK BREAD MIXES
Packaged quick bread mixes can be prepared at the quick bread setting. Simply follow the package directions, including greasing the
inside of bread pan as well as the knead bars. Add ingredients in this order: all liquid ingredients first, followed by any fruits or nuts

Lock pan into bread maker and program for quick bread. After 1 minute of mixing, scrap sides of pan with rubber scraper to clean off
any flour residue. Do not remove pan to scrape sides, leave pan locked in place when scraping flour off sides. After mixing is

necessary until done. When done, turn bread maker off, release pan and then remove pan with oven mitts. Cool bread in pan as
directed before removing. You may need to run a smooth edged spatula around edges of pan to help loosen bread before removing.

mixes used are for making 12 muffins). Simply follow the package directions, including greasing the inside of bread pan as well as the
