8.
9.
Basic (Dark)
The course is similar to Basic (Normal) expect for increased baking time which produces a
darker crust color. *
Basic (Rapid)
Breads will be completed faster using the rapid bake course. Both kneading and rising times are
shorter. Usually, breads made on this course will be shorter in height, denser in texture, and
have less flavor development. *
Whole Wheat
The Whole Wheat course setting is used for recipes with large amounts of whole wheat flour,
oats, or other whole grain cereals. Both the kneading and rising times are extended to enourage
better gluten development. This course setting begins with a 30-minute pre-heat cycle which
allows dense wheat grains to absorb liquid and expand, yielding better gluten development. *
Rye
This course is for recipes using some rye flour, along with high grade flour and/or whole wheat
flour. The greater the proportion of rye flour, the heavier the bread. The course has a longer
kneading and rising time to accommodate the heavy rye breads.
Quick
The Quick Bread course setting is used for mixtures with leavening agents such as baking
powder and baking soda.
● *
French
This feature is best suited for breads low in fat and sugar. This course has a shorter kneading
time, an increased rising time and a higher baking temperature. This produces breads with a
crisp, crackly crust and a coarse, chewy interior.
Sweet
Recipes containing increased amounts of sugar, fruit juice, or added sweet ingredients are best
suited for this setting.
Examples: cinnamon raisin bread, apricot marmalade bread. “
Pizza Dough
This course setting is perfect for pizza dough in a hurry. The pizza dough course shortens the
rising time and yields a soft, pliable dough.
Examples: traditional pizza dough, focaccia bread.
10. Dough
This is a special course setting that prepares bread dough in the machine. It is used to make
breads that will not baked in the bread maker but will be shaped by hand and baked in a
conventional oven.
Examples: cinnamon raisin rolls, classic dinner rolls, challah.
Pasta Button
A variety of pasta doughs can be made in the bread maker using the pasta feature. There is no

pre-heat cycle and the pasta ingredients are mixed quickly. When PASTA button is pressed,
mixing time will be displayed in the digital display. When course is complete, the dough is then
removed and ready to be processed and shaped through a pasta extruder. **
This course has an audible signal (beep) at the appropriate time for adding ingredients such as
raisins, nuts, etc.
Remember to scrape down sides and bottom of bread pan during pause in this course setting.

Place the kneading blade on the rotating shaft
inside the bread pan (align flat side of blade with
flat side of shaft). Make sure the kneading blade
is completely pushed down onto rotating shaft.
3. Measuring Ingredients
The most critical step in using your bread maker is to measure the ingredients precisely and
accurately. A slight error can throw off the critical balance of bread ingredients. See insert
below for measuring instructions.

spoons. Do not scoop measuring cups into the dry
mgreadlents as this will compress ingredients into the cup.
To measure a cup of flour, lightly spoon the flour into the
cup, filling slightly over the top. Remove the excess flour by
using a straight-edge spatula, or the flat side of a knife, and
scraping it along the top of measuring cup. Also, when
using measuring spoons, scrape along top of spoon with
straight-edge spatula to get an exact measure.

4. Order for Ingredients
5,
6.
7.
It is important to place ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed below. Always add
ingredients in the following order:
1. liquid ingredients
2. fat
3. salt
4. dry ingredients
5. yeast
When making yeast breads,
this order of adding ingredients is important because it keeps the
yeast away from the fat and liquid ingredients. Fats may coat the yeast granules, which can
then repel liquids, and prevent yeast hydration and action. If, on the other hand, the liquid
dehydrates the yeast too soon, the result may be an overfermented and short loaf. *
~: Yeast should always be added last. After dry ingredients are placed in the bread pan,
make a small indent in the top of dry ingredients and place the yeast in the indentation.
This is especially important for whole wheat course setting and time-delayed recipes.
* A short loaf refers to a loaf that has not risen properly when baked.
Inserting Bread Pan into Bread Maker
Insert bread pan into the bread maker cavity, pushing
down until the pan snaps securely into place. When
bread maker is plugged into outlet (230 volt/ 240 volt AC),
“O 00” will flash in the digital display.
Making Selection
Press SELECT button until the number of the desired setting appears in the digital display. Each
time SELECT is pressed, the number for each feature will appear in sequence, starting from 1
for Basic (Normal).

8. Removina Bread Pan from Bread Maker
When baking is finished, machine will beep 3
times and operating light and “ : “ will begin
to flash in the digital display. The “keep
warm” feature will start. Press the STOP
button to clear display and turn off operating
light.
.
Caution: Bread maker will be very hot. Using oven mitts, remove bread pan from machine by
gripping the wire handle and pulling straight up.
Note: The bread maker needs to cool for 30 minutes before cleaning and using it again.
9. Removing Baked Bread from Bread Pan
The bread is best taken out of pan immediately.
Remove bread from pan and place on cooling rack.
If bread is difficult to remove, shake pan or loosen loaf
using a flat, rubber spatula. Never use metal as it will
scratch and damage the bread pan. The kneading
blade may remain in the bottom of the loaf. This is
normal. After loaf has cooled, use a non-metal utensil
to remove the blade from loaf. Allow bread to cool 30
minutes before slicing.
Note: If dough has been made, remove dough from bread pan and shape by hand. Cover and
let rise until double in size and bake in conventional oven.
Add-Ingredient Signal
● When using the Basic, Rapid, Whole Wheat or Sweet course settings, a beep will sound 8 times,
indicating the correct time for adding dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips or other ingredients.
● With the Basic, Rapid and Sweet course settings, the beep will sound after the first 17 minutes of
mixing and kneading. In the Whole Wheat course setting, the beep will sound after 12 minutes
of mixing and kneading.
● The machine does not stop when bread maker beeps, but will continue kneading.
● Gradually add ingredients in small amount to dough mixture, allowing dough to slowly combine
with the added ingredients. It is important to avoid dropping any of the added ingredients outside
of the bread pan or into the inner cavity of the bread machine.
● This feature allows the added ingredients to remain in whole or larger pieces.
● When using the time-delay feature, any dried fruit or nuts may be added along with dry
ingredients, instead of adding them at the beep. The added ingredients may break up into fine
pieces because they are mixed and kneaded longer with the dough.
10
Completion Signal
● When baking is finished, the buzzer will sound 3 times, and “0:00 will appear in the digital
display.
,’
● To clear display, press STOP. The bread is best taken out of the pan immediately after baking.
Keep-Warm Feature
● The bread maker is equipped with a “Keep-Warm” feature that will keep the baked bread warm
for up to one hour.
● When bread has completed baking and if the STOP button has not been pressed, the “Keep-
Warm” feature will automatically turn on.
● The operating light will flash during this feature.
● After one hour, the machine automatically shuts off and the operation light goes out.
● The “Keep-Warm” does not function for Quick Bread, Dough, Pizza Dough or Pasta courses.
Note: If loaf is allowed to stay in bread pan longer than the one hour, bread crust may become
moist and side of loaf may wrinkle or cave in.
Time-Delay Feature
(Bake and Dough Settings)
● Using the Time-Delay, you can delay the completion of your bread or dough until a later time.
Completion time can be delayed up to a maximum of 13 hours.
● The Time-Delay feature cannot be used for Quick Bread or Pasta.
● Only use recipes with the Time-Delay symbol @ with this feature. These recipes do not contain
perishable ingredients (such as milk, cheese, yogurt, sour cream, eggs, etc.) which could spoil if
left at room temperature for several hours before machine begins operation.
● When Time-Delay is used with a Dough Setting, remove the dough immediately when the beep
sounds. The dough can then be shaped, allowed to rise and baked in a conventional oven. Do
not leave dough in the bread pan after beep sounds, or dough may overrise and bread fail.
Steps for Using Time-Delay Feature
1.Follow Basic Steps (1-6) in “How to Use Bread Maker” on pages 8 to 9.
2. Determine when you would like the bread or dough to be completed.
For example: The time is now 9:OOpm, and you would like fresh Whole Wheat Bread the
next morning at 7:30am. This is a time difference of 10 hours and 30 minutes.
3. After selecting the desired setting, press the “Timer Set” down
● arrow. The baking time for
Whole Wheat will appear in the display window (3:30 or 3 hours and 30 minutes ). Then
continue to Dress the down
● arrow until 10:30 appears in the display. (Holding down either
the down
● arrow pad or the up ● arrow pad will cause the time to increase or decrease
rapidly.)
4. When 10:30 appears in the display, press START. The time will begin counting down.
5. When the bread or dough is finished, “0:00 will appear in the display, and the bread maker
will beep 3 times.
6. The “Keep-Warm” cycle will begin. Remember that is best to remove bread when the beep
sounds.
7. To confirm cycle selected, press SELECT button. The feature selected will be displayed. To
return to the time display, press SELECT again.
8. If you make a mistake, press Stop and reset again from the beginning.
11
Quick Bread
The Quick Bread course setting makes speciality loaves in a short time. No yeast is used in the
quick bread recipes, so there are no long periods for rising. Remember to always scrape down the
sides and bottom of bread pan with a rubber spatula when making quick bread. See recipes
section for more details.
Pasta Feature
The Pasta feature allows delicious pasta to be made quickly. Follow the steps for assembling
bread maker as shown in “How to Use Bread Maker” on pages 8 to 9. Place ingredients in bread
pan in the order listed in recipes.
When this is completed:
1. Press PASTA button and digital display will show “O:14’ minutes.
2. Press START, time will begin counting down, “ : “
will start flashing and mixing begins.
3. After 8 minutes of kneading, a beep will sound 8 times, and bread maker will stop for 1 minute.
Using rubber spatula, scrape down any ingredients on the sides and bottom of bread pan.
4. When cycle is completed, machine will beep 3 times.
5. Remove pasta dough from bread pan, and place on a lightly floured surface.
6. Refer to recipe book for more tips when making pasta and extruding.
12
Caution: Allow bread maker to cool. Unplug machine before cleaning. Do not put water inside
bread maker or submerge the machine in water.
REMEMBER: Never use vineger, bleach, harsh cleansers (liquid or powder form) or scrub pads to
clean machine or parts. Cleaning the bread maker after each use as specified
below is easy. However, m of the bread maker parts can be washed in the
dishwasher. Hand wash only.
Outside and Inside of Bread Maker
● Wipe the outside, including lid, with a soft, damp cloth or sponge.
● Remove flour, bread crumbs and any other foreign material from the inside using a soft, damp
cloth or sponge.
● The lid can be removed for easy cleaning. Open lid to a 110° angle, and lift lid out of the hinges.
Wipe off lid and hinge area with a damp, soft cloth.
● Do not immerse lid in water.
Bread Pan and Kneading Blade
● The bread pan and kneading blade are coated with a nonstick coating. Do not use any cleansers
or utensils that could scratch this surface.
“ Wash the inside and outside of the bread pan with mild, soapy water using a soft cloth. Make
sure that the rotating shaft is clean.
Note: The nonstick surface may change in appearance (darken) after continued use. This is
caused by moisture, steam and heat and will have no effect during use or in the quality of
baked products.
● NEVER IMMERSE THE BREAD PAN IN WATER OR ALLOW BREAD PAN TO SIT WITH
WATER IN IT FOR A LONG TIME. This will cause corrosion or failure of the rotating shaft to
work properly.
● If it is difficult to remove the kneading blade from the bread pan, fill the bread pan with warm
water and allow to stand for a few minutes to loosen.
Note: The kneading blade can be cleaned with a small, soft bristled brush or with a wooden or
plastic toothpick.
Before storing the bread maker, make sure the machine and parts are completely cool, avoiding the
formation of any moisture in the machine.

FLOUR is, by weight, the primary ingredient in yeast bread. Flour provides food for the yeast and
structure to the loaf. When bread ingredients are mixed together, the flour protein comes in contact
with the liquids and starts to form gluten. Gluten is an interlocking network of elastic strands which
traps the gases produced by the yeast. As the dough is kneaded, the gluten network increases and
strengthens, giving the dough the structure needed to support the weight and shape of the loaf.
High grade Flour is made from hard wheat and is high in gluten-forming proteins, making it the
choice flour for yeast breads. When the bread dough is mixed and kneaded, the extra gluten in this
flour yields a tall, well-formed loaf with good structure.
All-Purpose Flour is a blend of hard and soft wheat, and does not contain as much gluten as high
grade flour. This flour is suitable for quick bread and pasta recipes.
Whole Wheat Flour contains all three components of the wheat kernel: the bran, the germ, and
the endosperm. Breads baked from whole wheat flour have a distinctive nutty flavor derived from
the bran and germ. Breads baked with this flour will be higher in fiber, and will produce a loaf lower
in height and heavier in texture. To enhance the volume of these loaves for the bread maker it is
suggested that whole wheat flour is combine with high grade flour for improved results.
Rye Flour is high in protein but low in gluten, and must be combined with wheat flour to produce an
acceptable loaf in the bread maker. Rye flour may be referred to as light/medium or
dark / pumpernickel in color. Light/medium rye flour is made from the endosperm of the rye grain,
and produces breads with a hearty, old-world country flavor. Dark/pumpernickel rye flour is ground
from the whole rye grain, and contains the bran, germ, and endosperm. The texture of this flour is
courser and bakes up into a darker loaf. It is best suited for the dark pumpernickel and rustic black
breads,
Semolina Flour is made by grinding durum wheat flour, and removing the bran and wheat germ to
form a rough grain flour. It is highly prized as a pasta flour.
SALT acts as a yeast inhibitor. It “chaperones” the multiplying yeast cells and helps prevent
“overproofing”. It also strengthens the gluten structure and enhances the flavor of other ingredients
in the recipe.
SWEETENERS have numerous functions in the bread baking process. They provide food for the
yeast and make the bread more moist and more tender. Also, they add flavor to the bread and give
the crust a golden color when baked.
YEAST is a heat-sensitive, living organism that becomes active when mixed with water and sugar.
Too much heat will kill the yeast. When activated, the yeast gives off carbon dioxide. A well-
formed gluten structure will trap the gas between its network of strands, allowing the dough to
stretch and rise. Rising is halted during the baking process when the heat kills the yeast.
Remember, always store yeast in a cool dry place, tightly sealed. Use yeast before the expiration
date on the yeast package label.
14
Active Dry Yeast is the most common type of yeast available in the market. Often referred to as
“regular” yeast, it requires a longer rising time, and allows flavors to develop more fully. Old or
improperly stored yeast will not perform well. Always buy and use yeast before the expiration date
on the label. Active Dry Yeast may be used with all course settings on the bread maker, including
Rapid course setting.
Surebake yeast (New Zealand) or Mauri pan yeast (Australia) is a blend of active dry yeast
and bread improvers, ideal for use in the bread maker. The addition of bread improvers enhance
the action of the yeast and accelerate the strengthening of gluten.
LIQUIDS are a small change in the quantity can effect the height and texture of the bread. Liquid
temperature is important for best results, use liquid that is lukewarm a very important consideration
in the winter months.
FATS add tenderness and flavor to breads. Fats also help increase the storage life of bread by
retaining moisture. Butter, margarine, shortening, and oil are interchangeable in most bread
recipes.
EGGS will add liquid, leavening, structure, color, nutrients, flavor, and tenderness,
15
About the Bread Maker
1. Why does the kneading b/ade sometimes stay in the bottom of the loaf when loaf is
removed from the bread pan ?
This is normal. At times, a crust may form around the kneading blade when the bread is baking,
resulting in the blade getting ‘(stuck in the loaf”. When the loaf has cooled, remove blade with a
plastic utensil.
2. What happens if there is a power outage while the bread maker is in use?
If there is a power outage, the bread maker will continue if power resumes in a few seconds.
Otherwise, operation will stop and the bread cannot be completed in the machine. If the
operation stopped prior to the final rise, the course can be started over. After the final rise but
before baking, dough can be removed from the pan and shaped by hand. Let rise until almost
double in size and bake in a conventional oven.
3. Can I open the lid while the machine is operating?
You can open the lid to observe the mixing and kneading stages. When the bread is rising or
baking, avoid opening the lid to prevent heat from escaping. Loss of heat will prevent the bread
from rising properly and the bread may be underbaked.
About Bread maker Recipes
1. Why is high grade flour used for most bread maker recipes?
Most recipes made in the bread maker are yeast bread recipes. Yeast breads require flour with
higher amounts of gluten-forming protein. High grade flour is made from hard wheat and
contains a large amount of gluten, making it the choice for yeast breads. The protein content of
high grade flour can be anywhere from 12 to 16 percent. When the flour is mixed with liquid,
gluten is developed. Gluten is important in making breads because it gives elasticity and
strength to doughs and supports the structure and volume of breads.
2. What is gluten ?
Gluten is the insoluble protein found in wheat flour, and it is a key element in yeast breads. As
flour is mixed with other ingredients, the protein comes in contact with liquids to become gluten.
Gluten gives the dough its ability to stretch and expand. The interlocking gluten strands also trap
the gas produced by the yeast, which results in the rising of the dough. As the dough is
kneaded, the gluten increases and forms a network of elastic strands which supports the dough
during the rising cycle and the structure of the baked loaf.
3. Can I use all-purpose flour in bread maker recipes?
Yes, but the bread will be shorl in height and the texture slightly different. All-purpose flour is a
blend of soft and hard wheat. All-purpose flour is suitable for quick bread recipes and some
pasta recipes.

What is vital wheat gluten?
The gluten in wheat flour can actually be isolated and removed from flour. This gluten is sold as
“vital wheat gluten” and is 100°/0gluten.
Can fresh milk be used in place of dry skim milk?
Yes.
However, when fresh milk is used, subtract the amount of milk used from the amount of
water or liquid in the recipe. Do not use time-delay feature when substituting fresh milk since
spoikjge may occur.
There are different yeasts found in the market. Which should be used in the bread maker?
Refer to “Basic Ingredients” section (page 14 and 15) for answer to this question.
Why does my baked bread result in a short loaf?
One reason may be that the yeast used had expired. Always check the date on yeast package.
Whole wheat breads and whole grain breads are usually shorter due to the heavy, dense
texture. Remember, bread baked in the Rapid setting will be shorter because of the short
kneading and rising sequences.
Can I use the time-delay with any bread or dough recipe?
No.
Those recipes marked with a ~ can be used in the time-delay feature. These recipes do
not contain perishable ingredients (such as milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc.).
Can I use other favorite 2.0 lb bread recipes in this bread maker?
Yes, but you may have to do some experimenting to find the accurate balance of ingredients
that work best. Always try to use recipes with flour/liquid amounts similar to those in our
recipes.
10. Why aren ‘t more breads made using the Rapid setting?
This feature is used when you are short on time and in a hurry. Bread made using the Rapid
course setting will be shorter in height and denser, and the flavor will not be fully developed.
For instance, a multi-grain bread requires a longer kneading and rising times than those
provided in the Rapid cycle, and therefore, is not recommended for this course setting.
11.
Will the humid, warm climate where I live have any affect on my bread results?
Please refer to Sunken Tops and Mushroom Tops found in the “Bread Troubleshooting Guide”
on pages 21-22.

About Pasta
1.Why does pasta stick together when extr’uded from the pasta extruder?
Pasta dough may be too moist. Sprinkle with a little flour during kneading. Once sufficiently
kneaded, the dough will feel smooth, firm, and elastic, without a trace of stickiness.
2. How long should fresh pasta be cooked?
Having a higher water content than dry pasta, fresh pasta cooks fairly quickly. Drop pasta into
the quarts of boiling, salted water. Take care to separate the individual fresh pasta pieces.
Cooking time will vary with pasta shape, size, and dryness. Boil 1 to 3 minutes and test for
doneness. The pasta should be tender but still slightly chewy al-dente, as the Italians say.

Use only fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Measure ingredients accurately and precisely.
Always keep flour and other dry ingredients in tightly sealed containers to prevent drying out.
In this bread maker, the recommended maximum amount of bread flour for a 2 lb loaf is 4 cups
in the BAKE course setting and 4 cups in the DOUGH course setting. For Quick Breads, the
maximum amount of flour is 2-1/4 cups.
Liquids should be tepid (about 70”F - 80°F or 21 “C - 27°C). When the room temperature is
over 82°F/280C, use cold water (about 50°F/ 10“C). Milk can be used just taken out of the
refrigerator.
In high altitudes, doughs rise more rapidly due to the low pressure. As a result, the bread will
rise too high and will then collapse while baking. Try reducing the yeast by 1/4 teaspoon the
next time the same recipe is made, to slow down the rising.
After completion, the machine will beep 3 times. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, it
is best to remove the bread immediately from the machine and place it on a wire rack to cool.
Always allow bread to cool at least 30 minutes for easier slicing.
Completely cool bread before storing. Store bread in a sealed Ziplock bag or in an airtight
container.
10. To freeze bread, wrap bread in aluminum foil and then place loaves in sealed Ziplock bags.
Thaw at room temperature.
