then the butter or margarine, next the dry ingredients and finally the yeast. For
best results level the dry ingredients before adding the yeast.
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.
