How To Use
1. Make sure the breadmaker is
unplugged and placed on a stable,
level surface. Remove the bread pan
and kneading paddle and wash
before first use.
2. Place the bread pan on the counter
and place the kneading paddle onto
the shaft in the bottom of the bread
pan. The arrow on the paddle should
point up. Push the kneading paddle
all the way down. About
1 ⁄
8
-inch of the
shaft will show above the kneading
paddle.
3. Add the ingredients to the bread pan
in the order listed in the recipe.
Liquid ingredients first, then dry
ingredients, and adding the yeast last.
4. Lift the bread pan by the handle and
place in the oven chamber. Place the
bread pan arrow at the front, aligning
with the oven chamber arrow. Push
the bread pan all the way down to
lock into the bottom gear in the oven
chamber. Close the cover.
5. Plug in breadmaker. A beep will
sound and the display window will
blink SEL. Press PROGRAM SELECT
until the desired bread program num-
ber is shown in the display window.
6. Now select the Crust Color by
pressing CRUST. A small arrow will
move along the bottom of the display
window indicating which crust color
has been selected.
7. If not using the programmable timer
feature, press START/CANCEL to start
the breadmaker. The total time
before the bread is ready will be
shown in the display window. If using
the programmable timer, set the
timer then press START/CANCEL.
NOTE: During the White and Sweet
Cycles,
a beep will sound about
30 minutes after the breadmaker
starts mixing. This is the Add
Ingredient signal to add raisins, dried
fruit or nuts if the recipe instructs.
8. The breadmaker will beep when the
bread is done. END will be shown in
the display window. For best results,
the bread should be removed from
the bread pan immediately. If not
however, the breadmaker will start a
Keep Warm cycle for about 1 hour.
9. Press START/CANCEL and hold for
three seconds to turn off the bread-
maker. Unplug the unit. SEL will
blink in the display window until the
unit is unplugged. Raise the cover
and using an oven mitt, lift the
bread pan straight up to remove
from the oven chamber.
10. Using oven mitts on both hands,
turn the bread pan upside down and
shake the loaf until it falls out of
bread pan. Locate kneading paddle.
It may remain on the shaft in the
bottom of the bread pan or it may
have baked into the bottom of the
loaf of bread. Let bread cool on rack
for 10 minutes before slicing.
NOTES:
• Do not use any metal utensils in
the bread pan. This could damage
the non-stick coating.
• After making a loaf of bread,
the breadmaker must cool down
before making another loaf. Leave
the cover open to assist the cooling
process. After 30 minutes, if you
are still unable to turn the unit on,
unplug it. After waiting a few sec-
onds, plug it in again. This will
reset the unit.
• The cover of the breadmaker
is designed to be taken off and
reattached easily. This will help
when cleaning. However, never
immerse the cover; simply wipe
clean with a damp cloth.
