Using Your Breadmaker
These are instructions for bread baking only-
not the JAM cycle. The bread settings in this
unit will combine ingredients, knead, and make
bread from start to finish automatically.
The recipes included with this booklet have
been thoroughly tested to ensure best results.
Recipes have been created especially for this
Figure 1
breadmaker and may not produce acceptable
results in other similar bread making machines.
1
Open the lid and remove the baking pan by
turning slightly counter-clockwise and then
up and out (see Figure 1). It is important to
remove the baking pan from the unit when
putting ingredients into the pan. This will
prevent accidentally spilling ingredients into
Figure 2
the baking chamber.
WARNING: Place your Breadmaker where it is level, stable, and secure.
Ingredients spilled in baking chamber can cause fire when ignited by the
heating element.
2
Attach the kneading blade onto the shaft inside the baking pan by
lining up the flat side of the blade with the flat side of the shaft. Push
the blade firmly onto the shafts .
NOTE: Be sure to set the kneading blade firmly in place to prevent the
blade from coming off during operation, which may affect the kneading
or mixing. Be sure the shaft is clean of any residue (i.e. dough). This will
ensure the kneading blade will fully fit into place and prevent the blade
from sticking to the shaft.
3
Select a recipe from the recipe section of this booklet. When
following the recipes:
a. Measure ingredients carefully and accurately. To measure liquids,
use a see-through liquid measuring cup and check the
measurement at eye level. When measuring dry ingredients,
use a standard dry measuring cup and level the ingredients with
a straightedge knife. Slightly inaccurate measurement can make
a difference in results. Use standard measuring spoons and level
off with a straightedge knife.
b. Always add ingredients into the baking pan in the order listed.
c. Always add yeast last. Be careful not to mix the yeast with any of
the wet ingredients, especially when using the delay time
function feature. Otherwise, the bread may not rise properly.

Using Your Breadmaker
cont.
Breadmaker Tip: After 5 minutes of kneading, open the lid of the
breadmaker and check the dough consistency. The dough should form a
soft, tacky ball. If too dry, add liquid. If too wet, add flour. Additional
liquid or flour should be added in 1/2 - 1 tablespoon increments.
4
Place the baking pan back into the unit with the pan at a slight
angle. Press the pan down and turn slightly clockwise to lock into
place. (see Figure 2)
Note: If the baking pan is not installed properly or firmly clicked into
place, the kneading blades will not operate.
5
Close the lid. Connect the plug to a 120-volt AC-only outlet. You will
hear a short beep.
6
Choose the correct setting for your recipe by pressing the MENU
button. Each time MENU is pressed you will hear a beep and the
corresponding LED light will illuminate.
Note: The Whole Wheat settings begin with a rest period during which
the flour or grains absorb the liquid ingredients. Soaking causes the flour
or grain to soften and helps ingredients to combine well. There is no
blade action during this period.
7
Press the START/STOP button to begin. To cancel a program once
you have started it, press the START/STOP button for 3 - 5 seconds
until you hear a beep. You can now reprogram the machine.
8
The Breadmaker is designed with a KEEP WARM feature that
automatically begins when the bake time is completed. This will
continue for up to 60 minutes after baking is complete. During this
time, the Breadmaker's heating elements will remain on at low power
to keep the bread warm. You may remove the baking pan at any
time during the KEEP WARM cycle. To turn off the KEEP WARM
feature before the 60 minutes are up, simply press the START/STOP
button for 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep. UNPLUG THE UNIT
WHEN FINISHED. Never leave the unit plugged in when not in use.
9
The Breadmaker 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
baking. You may lift the lid to look inside during 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 collapse.
