5 Close the lid and plug into an outlet (120 volt). Two
ARROWS will come up in the display window indi-
cating BASIC bread type with a Regular Crust and
12:00 a.m. will flash in the display window. If you wish
to use the TIMER to delay baking, you will first have to
set the correct time of day. However, if you want to
start the breadmaking operation now, it is not neces-
sary to set the CLOCK.
6 To bake a Basic loaf of bread with a Regular
Crust, simply press the START/RESET Button.
However, you can choose a dif-
ferent setting for your recipe by
pressing the MENU button on
the pad. Each time you press
MENU, the arrow in the display
window will point to
the next selection (i.e.
RAPID bake, SWEET
bread, etc.) If you are
using a recipe that
calls for the BASIC,
RAPID bake, or SWEET bread set-
ting, choose a crust color by
pressing the CRUST
button until the arrow
in the window lines up
with either REGULAR
or DARK.
7 Press the
START/RESET
Button once until it beeps and the red “operation”
indicator light comes on. The
flashing 12:00 a.m. will be
replaced by the baking time for
that setting, for example, 3:50, if
you chose a recipe for the BASIC
bread setting (regard-
less of whether you
chose REGULAR or
DARK crust). It will
count down the
remaining time in one-minute intervals (3:49, 3:48,
etc.) until the bread is done. When the baking is
complete, several beeps will sound to alert you that
the bread is ready and the red indicator light will
begin flashing. In addition, a flashing 12:00 a.m. will
reappear in the display screen.
8 This Breadmaker is designed with a Keep Warm
function that automatically begins when baking
is complete. The red “operation” light will continue
to flash for up to 60 minutes after baking is com-
plete and will keep bread warm during that time. At
the end of the hour, the Keep Warm cycle will end
and the light will remain on constantly, indicating
the unit is still plugged in. The bread should then be
removed as soon as possible to avoid getting soggy.
You may remove the Baking Pan any time during
the Keep Warm cycle. To turn off the Keep Warm
feature before the 60 minutes are up, simply press
the START/RESET button and hold it until the dis-
play time clears.
NOTE: The Keep Warm feature does not function for
the DOUGH setting since baking is not involved in
this program. If you leave finished dough in the unit
over a period of time, it may over-rise and produce
poor results. For best results, remove dough at the
end of the program and follow the recipe
directions for shaping, rising, and baking.
9 This unit has a convenient Viewing Window so
that you may watch the progress of the bread as
it is mixed, kneaded, and baked. Occasionally, some
moisture may form in the window during the rising
cycle. If moisture forms, you may lift the lid to look
inside during the mixing and kneading stages,
however, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE
BAKING CYCLE (approximately the last hour) as
this may cause the bread to underbake. Most of the
moisture should disappear during the baking cycle.
10 To remove the Baking Pan, use pot holders or
oven mitts, grasp the wire handle with both
hands and pull straight up on the Baking Pan. Fold
and lock the wire handle down. Turn the pan on its
side and gently shake the bread out onto a wire
cooling rack. The Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle
have a non-stick coated finish so that the bread
should come out easily. Do not use metal utensils to
remove bread as they may scratch the non-stick
coating. If you have difficulty removing bread from
