Important Safety Instructions: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a Safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Your West Bend Automatic Bread & Dough Maker was designed for use with 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical services ONLY.
Use of your bread and dough maker with a converter or transformer will destroy the electronic control and will void your
warranty.
‘QUICK START’ STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR MAKING THE FIRST LOAF OF BREAD
BREAD MAKING IN FOUR EASY STEPS!
FOR MEASURING: FOR MAKING BREAD:
See-through liquid measuring cup with graduated markings Water
Set of solid, nesting type measuring cups for dry ingredients Butter or Margarine
Set of measuring spoons Bread Flour
Kitchen spoon Sugar
Table knife Dry Milk
Salt
Active Dry Yeast or Fast Rising/Bread Machine
Yeast
HOW TO MEASURE: Measuring ingredients the right way with the correct measuring cups and spoons is most
important when making bread. See measuring section for more information.
REMEMBER TO: Always measure liquid ingredients in see-through measuring cup with
graduated markings. Liquid should just reach marking on cup at “eye-level,” not above or below.
For easier measuring, set cup on inside of top kitchen cabinet.
Always use liquid at the correct temperature. One-Hour Bread Express™ requires hotter liquids
than the other bread settings. Use thermometer included with machine or other thermometer to
measure liquid temperature. See backside of thermometer included with machine for proper use.
Always spoon dry ingredients, like bread flour, into solid, nesting type-measuring cups, then
level off with table knife.
Never scoop measuring cups into dry ingredients as this will pack down the ingredients,
causing the dough to be dry and the loaf to be short.
Always use set of measuring spoons to measure smaller quantities of dry and liquid
ingredients, measuring level, not rounded or heaping.
