Hints for Best Results

1. This bread maker will bake up to a 2 lb. loaf of bread.
WARNING! DO NOT EXCEED the maximum amount of ingredients.
• Bread Programs
• Quick Bread Program
• Dough Program
2. All ingredients except liquids must be at room temperature.
3. Use oven mitts when working with bread or any part of the bread maker that is hot from baking.
4. After baking, wipe off crumbs and clean the bread maker.
5. Unplug the bread maker when not in use.
6. It is normal for the viewing window to collect moisture during the Rise Cycle. As your food bakes,
the moisture soon will evaporate so you can watch your bread's baking progress.
7. CAUTION: Do not touch the viewing window during use. The viewing window gets very hot.
8. Never open the lid during baking. This causes baked products to bake improperly.
9. Never unplug the bread maker during kneading or baking. This will stop the operation and will
cause bread to bake improperly.
10. To avoid burns, stay clear of the air outlet vents during kneading and baking.
11. ALWAYS HANDLE THE HOT BREAD PAN AND HANDLE WITH A POT HOLDER OR OVEN MITT. After
baking, wait for the bread maker to cool down before touching or cleaning the bread pan or internal
parts of the bread maker without oven mitts.
12. Never use metal utensils with the bread maker. These can scratch the non-stick surface
of the bread pan.
13. Avoid electric shock by unplugging the machine before using a damp cloth or sponge to wipe
the interior of the baking chamber.
14. Never use the bread pan on a gas or electric cooktop, on an open flame, or in a microwave oven.
15. Do not cover the air outlet vents during Kneading and Baking Cycles. This could cause the bread
maker to warp or discolor.
16. Always make sure the kneading paddle is removed from the bread before slicing. Use the bread
pan/paddle hook provided to aid in removal.
17. Wash and dry cooking pot. IMPORTANT! The bread pan must be perfectly clean before preparing
homemade yogurt.
18. IMPORTANT: NEVER use metal utensils when preparing yogurt.

Preparing Bread and Dough

1. Always begin with fresh ingredients. Fresh flour and yeast are critical.
2. All ingredients except liquids must be at room temperature.
3. Liquids should be approximately 80°F/27°C (baby bottle temperature).
IMPORTANT: When using the QUICK Program, water must be 115°-125°F/45°-51°C (warm).
4. Always place the ingredients in the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe: liquids, dry
ingredients and then yeast. (See Figure 4.)

Measure Accurately

1. Mis-measuring, even slightly, can make a huge difference in baking results.
2. When measuring liquids, use a liquid measuring cup. To ensure accuracy, set the measuring cup
on the counter top and read the measurement at eye level.
3. Spoon dry ingredients lightly into a standard dry ingredient measuring cup and level with a straight
edge. Never shake the cup or tap it on the counter top. Do not scoop the flour with the measuring
cup as this tends to pack more flour than the recipes call for.
4. Use a clean measuring spoon to measure yeast and level with a straight edge.
5. Liquid amounts called for in a recipe may need to be adjusted slightly because different climates
and seasons result in a wide variety of humidity levels.
