SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Polarized Plug: This Automatic Bread Maker has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, turn the plug and re-insert. Do not modify this plug. If the plug does not fit the outlet securely, call a qualified electrician for assistance. DO NOT use this plug with extension cords of any kind.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

1. Automatic Bread Maker Base: The Automatic Bread Maker Base is equipped with a built-in EasyLift Lid and houses the heating unit and Pre-programmed Control Panel. The Base also holds the Nonstick Bread Pan and Dual Kneading Paddles.
2. EasyLift Lid with Dual Porthole Glass Windows: The Lid includes two viewing windows for easy access while the bread machine is in operation. Check progress of baking items through the windows rather than opening the Lid; this saves energy and maintains countdown timing schedules.
   To open the Lid after cooking, be aware of escaping steam and use pot holders as needed. Use pot holders or heat-resistant gloves to remove the Nonstick Baking Pan.
3. Nonstick Baking Pan: The die cast aluminum Nonstick Baking Pan is used for all foods baked in the Automatic Bread Maker. It holds the Dual Kneading Paddles, which can be removed as needed to prepare foods such as jam, yogurt and other cooked foods.
4. Dual Kneading Paddles: Two Paddles sit inside the Nonstick Baking Pan and should be used any time the kneading process is used in bread preparation. When not in use, remove the Paddles and set aside. To re-insert, align the square side of each Paddle to the accompanying shaft and press down until fully seated.

We encourage you to experiment, trying different breads and classic favorites, because when the aroma of fresh bread wafts through your home, everyone will come running. The sky is the limit with your Automatic Bread Maker!

Bread Types

BASIC BREAD – MENU "1"

Basic White Bread is one of life's most simple, pure pleasures! Serve it any night of the week with hot soup or a chilled salad and you are sure to please everyone. Use Basic Bread for add-ins, such as fruit or chocolate chips to create new family favorites.

FRENCH BREAD – MENU "2"

French Bread has more resistance to the touch than Basic Bread and a yeasty, aromatic aroma. It is especially good when served with pasta dishes and hearty soups. Tear or cut thick slices and serve while warm. Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or try melted butter with herbs.

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD – MENU "3"

A great sandwich-making bread and one that is good for you as well, whole wheat bread can be dense in texture and offers more flavor. When cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and wait for twelve hours before cutting into thin slices. Makes excellent toast for a breakfast treat.

SWEET BREAD – MENU "4"

Sweet bread, such as Cinnamon Swirl or Maple Pecan, can be especially welcome at the breakfast table. Add raisins, pecans, walnuts or poppy seeds for flavor and texture.

BUTTERMILK BREAD – MENU "5"

A cousin to basic or white bread, buttermilk bread reflects the title – cold buttermilk is added to the recipe to offer a tangy twist on traditional white bread. The crumb of buttermilk bread is small, making it a great choice for sandwiches or toast. Wrap tightly and keep for up to 4 days in a cool, dark place.

GLUTEN-FREE BREAD – MENU "6"

Making gluten-free bread is a technical process; carefully observe measurements and amounts to get the best results. Use the correct recipe that fits one of the 2, 2½ or 3 pound loaf sizes. The texture of gluten-free bread is somewhat coarse and the bread easily tears; handle slices carefully and toast for added strength and density.

SUPER RAPID RISING BREAD – MENU "7"

When you are in a hurry, yet want a favorite homemade-bread touch to your meal, a recipe for Super Rapid Rising Bread is sure to satisfy and please. Use rapid-rise yeast and bread flour to assist in speeding the process along. Bread is hot and ready within just 90 minutes!

Specialty Baking Modes

CAKE MODE – MENU "8"

The convenience of using the Automatic Bread Maker is clear when it comes to baking. Prepare a loaf cake or a quick bread and spoon it into the Nonstick Baking Pan. Turn on the Cake Mode and within a short time, warm cake or bread comes straight from the oven. No need to heat the entire house with this easy and convenient method of baking.

KNEAD-ONLY MODE – MENU "9"

When your specialty bakery goods require kneading only, use this quick and easy mode to get the job done. This Mode is especially useful for kneading pizza dough or focaccia.

DOUGH MODE – MENU "10"

Use Dough Mode when preparing rolls or breads that are shaped or filled, such as cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, crescent rolls and other specialties. Dough will mix, knead and rise. You can then shape and let rise once more before baking. So easy!

PASTA DOUGH MODE – MENU "11"

Fresh Pasta dough requires serious kneading; the Automatic Bread Maker does it all so easily by mixing the pasta dough, then kneading it vigorously.

YOGURT MODE – MENU "12"

Mix together whole milk and active yogurt cultures in the Nonstick Baking Pan and press the "Yogurt" Mode button. After eight hours, fresh and tangy yogurt is ready for you! Chill and serve within three days.

JAM MAKING MODE – MENU "13"

Spoon fresh fruit, sugar and pectin into the Nonstick Baking Pan and await delicious results! Pour or spoon into small jars, chill and serve within 3 weeks.

BAKE MODE – MENU "14"

Choose the Bake Mode anytime you'd like the ease and comfort of heating foods at a moderate level without babysitting the baking process. Use this Specialty Mode for corn bread and other bakery foods that require moderate oven heat.

HOME MADE SPECIALTIES MODE – MENU "15"

Specialties in this Mode might include bread puddings, dense breads or other dessert selections that require extra baking time. Try French Toast Casserole or a Vegetable Frittata in this convenient baking Mode.

MAINTENANCE
