I 
Flours
. Bread Flour
High-gluten wheat flour that produces a light,
springy loaf. Bread flour is excellent at holding its
shape and rises well with yeast, which makes it
the best choice for bread and pizza dough.
. All-Purpose Flour
Basic wheat flour with moderate gluten levels.
While it can be used for breadmaking,it does
not rise as well as bread flour.All-purpose flour is
best suited for low-rising baked goods like cake,
muffins,and cookies.
. Whole Wheat Flour
Wheat flour made using the entire wheat kernel.
Very high in fiber, this flour can be used in a
variety of baked goods, but will yield smaller and
more dense results with a nuttier taste. Whole
wheat flour can also be mixed with bread flour or
all-purpose to dilute its characteristics.
. Rye Flour
A low-gluten flour milled from rye grains/berries.
Recommended for rye, pumpernickel, and even
sourdough breads. Due to low-gluten levels, it is
recommended to mix rye flour with bread flour to
assist in proper rising.
. Gluten-Free Flour
Made from a variety of gluten-free grains and
nuts like rice,millet,oats,almonds,and even
coconut. Gluten-free breads tend to be more
dense and smaller than traditional wheat
breads. If possible, we recommend choosing
a gluten-free flour specifically formulated for
breadmaking.
Fats
. Unsalted Butter
Adds flavor,moisture and texture to breads.
Unsalted butter is highly recommended, as using
salted butter can make the dough too salty and
prevent proper rising. For best results, bring butter
to room temperature and cut into small slices
before adding to the baking pan.
. Oil
Vegetable oils,like canola or corn,can be used
in place of butter for breadmaking.Consider the
flavor of the oil before using,as it will affect the
taste of the bread.Flavored oils walnut,garlic,
etccan also be added for a unique taste
Note:
· Using flours that dier
from the provided
recipes in this manual
may aect baking
outcomes. Adding extra
water or flour may be
needed if dough is too
runny or crumbly.
· Be sure to precisely
measure your
ingredients, as this
will greatly aect the
outcome of your bread.
continued on the next page >>

16. 17.
Note:
· Using too much fat
in your recipe can
slow down yeast
fermentation and keep
dough from rising
properly.
· Do not use perishable
ingredients when
setting a delay start
for your bread, as the
ingredients may spoil.
Instead, use powdered
alternatives.

. Shortening
Made from hydrogenated vegetable oils,
shortening can be used in place of butter or oil
with similar results. However, the flavor will not be
as rich as breads baked with butter.
Sugars
. Sugars provide food for the yeast, allowing
the dough to rise properly. While white sugar is
recommended, other sugars like brown sugar,
honey, molasses, and syrup may be used for
unique flavors. For best results when using liquid
sugars, reduce the amount of water/milk in the
recipe to avoid runny dough.
Egg
. Eggs assist with rising, and add flavor and
texture to the bread. Ensure that eggs are fresh
and at room temperature before adding to the
baking pan. Powdered egg alternatives and
liquid substitutes may also be used.
Milk/Water
. Milk, water, and other liquids add moisture and
aect the bread's texture. Bread made with milk
will have extra sweetness, and have a tendency
to brown more on the top. For this reason, we
recommend using the "light" crust color setting
when using milk. Powdered milk also works well,
and is recommended for any recipe using a delay
start time. For proper rising, ensure that all liquids
used are at room temperature before adding to
the baking pan.
Salt
. Salt is a must-have for bread making.It adds
flavor to the bread,helps bring out the flavor of
other ingredients used, and promotes proper
rising. Any type of salt can be used, as long as it is
accurately measured. The wrong amount of salt
can greatly affect your results.
Yeast
. Yeast allows the dough to rise, and gives bread
its characteristic spongy, airy texture. Growing
yeast is a delicate process, and all ingredients
must be room temperature before adding to
the baking pan to ensure that your dough rises
properly. Yeast must always be added last, on top
of the other dry ingredients.
Caution:
To avoid spills, burning,
and/or damage to your
bread maker, never
overfill the baking
pan. Follow the recipe
measurements provided
in "Recipe Charts" on
pages 18-24.
To avoid burning,
carefully monitor any
toppings on the surface
of the bread while
baking.
. Active Dry Yeast
Active dry yeast can be added directly to the
baking pan with no pre-soaking required. This
type of yeast generally takes longer to rise than
instant yeast. Therefore, for functions 4, 6, and
7, we recommend using instant yeast. For best
results, store active dry yeast in the refrigerator
after use.
. Instant Yeast
Also referred to as "bread machine yeast", instant
yeast is shelf-stable, quick to rise, and can also be
added directly to the baking pan with no pre-
soaking required. Instant yeast works well with
any bread function.
Add-ins
. Further customize a bread recipe by adding
fruits, nuts or other desired toppings. The bread
maker will beep 10 times to signal when toppings
can be added. Additional toppings can also
be sprinkled on top of the bread before the
"Bake" phase.
. Nuts & Seeds
Any nuts or seeds can be added at the signaled
time or before baking.
. Fruit
Any dried fruit can be added at the signaled time
or before baking. Chop if needed, and be sure to
separate any sticky pieces so they will properly
dispense into the bread.
. Seasonings
Use sugar, cinnamon, rosemary, flaked salt,
garlic, and more as additions to your dough, or
toppings for your bread. Add desired seasonings
to your dough before starting, during the signaled
time, or before baking.
. Other
Cheeses, like feta, parmesan and cheddar make
great add-ins to your dough, as do meats and
vegetables like bacon and jalapeños. Make
sure all add-ins are well separated for proper
distribution, and add them at the signaled time,
or before baking.

cleaning guidelines.
1. Unplug the power cord. Allow the bread maker
and all accessories to completely cool before
disassembling and cleaning.
2. Remove the baking pan and stirring paddle from
the baking cavity and clean with warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Soak the stirring
paddle in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes if you
cannot remove it from the baking pan.
3. Check if any ingredients spilled inside the baking
cavity. Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth if
needed, then wipe dry.
4. Wash all accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
5. Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel body clean
with a damp cloth, then wipe dry.
6. Place the clean, empty baking pan and stirring
paddle securely into the bread maker.
7. Dry and reassemble all parts.
8. To store your bread maker, make sure the lid
is closed, and place all accessories inside the
baking pan. Do not place heavy objects on top of
the bread maker.
Note:
· All accessories are top-
rack dishwasher safe.
However, hand washing
is recommended to
extend the life of the
materials and nonstick
coatings.
· Some discoloration of
the baking pan may
appear over time. This is
a natural eect caused
by moisture and steam
and will not aect the
bread in any way.
· Any other servicing
should be performed by
Aroma® Housewares.

water temperature may have been too high. Refer to the
provided recipe charts and "Operation Guide" on pages 12-14.
The sides of the bread are collapsed and the bottom of
the bread is damp
·There are several possible solutions. The bread may have
been left in the baking pan too long after baking. Remove the
bread from the pan sooner, and allow it to cool.
·Try using more flour (1 tsp at a time), or less yeast (1/4 tsp at a
time), or less water or liquid (1 tsp at a time).
·This could also be the result of forgetting to add salt to the
recipe.
The bread has a heavy, thick texture
·Try using less flour (1 tsp at a time), or more yeast (1/4 tsp at
a time). This could also be the result of using old flour or the
wrong type of flour for the recipe.

There are large holes inside the bread
·This is usually the result of not adding salt to the recipe.
The bread rose too much
·Try using less yeast (1/4 tsp less at a time). This could also be
the result of not adding salt to the recipe or not placing the
stirring paddle into the baking pan.
The bread did not rise enough
·There are several possible solutions. Try using less flour (1 tsp
less at a time), more yeast (⁄ tsp more at a time, or less water
(1 tsp less at a time).
·You may have forgotten to add salt.
·Check that the yeast is not expired, and is fresh and properly
stored (sealed, in a cool, dark place).
·Liquid ingredients may have either been too hot (this will kill
the yeast), or too cold (yeast will not activate). Liquids should
be between 75°F-90°F for best results.
·The ingredients were in the baking pan in the improper
order. If the ingredients are placed improperly, this can cause
the yeast to get wet and not activate. See "Operation Guide"
on pages 12-14 for proper ingredient placement.
The bread has a floured top
·This is usually a result of using too much flour or not enough
water. Try using less flour (1 tsp less at a time), or try using
more yeast (⁄ tsp less at a time).
The bread is too brown
·This is usually the result of adding too much sugar to the
recipe. Try using less sugar (1 tbsp at a time). You can also try
selecting a lighter crust color selection.
The bread is not brown enough
·This is usually the result of repeatedly lifting the lid of the
bread machine or leaving the lid open while the bread is
baking. Be sure the lid is shut while the bread maker is in
operation.
The stirring paddle comes out with the bread
·This can happen, as the stirring paddle is detachable. Use
a non-metal utensil or the paddle hook to remove it from the
loaf before slicing. Use caution, as the paddle will be hot.
The bread is pale on top and collapsed
·Usually this is because the ingredients are not in balance
or low protein flour is used. Check the method of weighing/
measuring the ingredients. Too much yeast, water or other
liquid ingredients, or insufficient flour, may cause the bread to
be pale on top and collapse while baking.
Bread/jam/yogurt is overflowing in the baking pan.
·Results may vary when using other recipes, as the recipes in
this booklet are sized so that the dough is kneaded properly
and the finished bread does not exceed the baking pan
capacity. Use only recipes with similar quantities of ingredients.
As a general guide, a minimum of 2 cups and maximum of 3⁄
cups of total dry ingredients is recommended on the bread
settings. On the jam setting, as a general guide, a maximum of
3 cups of fruit should be used.
Can I use egg powder or dry milk?
·Yes, egg powders, dried buttermilk or dry milk can be used.
These products allow you to use the Delay Start feature–
however, always be sure to add the water to the baking
pan first, then add the dried substitution after the flour to
keep them separate. Similarly, fresh milk and eggs can be
substituted for dry milk and egg powders, but the baked bread
will have a heavier texture. If you still choose to use fresh milk,
decrease the same measurement of other liquid in the recipe
to avoid runny dough. Do not use the delay start feature with
perishable ingredients.
Can other sweetening agents be used in place of sugar?
·Yes. Honey, golden syrup or brown sugar can be used. When
substituting honey or similar sweet liquids for sugar, ensure to
decrease the same measurement of liquid to equal the liquid
sugar substitute. We do not recommend powdered or liquid
artificial sweeteners.
Can butter or margarine be used in place of oil?
·Yes, but the bread texture may appear more creamy and
yellow.
Can salt be omitted?
·Salt plays a very important part in bread making. Omitting
it will decrease water retention in the dough, as well as affect
mixing, the strength of the gluten development and the
fermentation of the yeast. In the finished bread, salt improves
the loaf shape, crumb structure and crust color, as well as
extending shelf life and enhancing flavor.
What if the power goes out during the baking process?
·If the power goes out for 10 minutes or less while the bread
maker is working, the bread maker's power-off memory will
resume the baking process once power returns.
·If the power outage lasts longer than 10 minutes, the bread
maker will not be able to resume the baking process. If this
happens, hold down the Start|Stop button for 3 seconds
when the power returns. If the display does not return to the
time setting before the outage, unplug the bread maker then
plug it back in. If the machine still does not start, hold down
the Start|Stop button a second time for 3 seconds. Continue
to unplug/replug and hold down Start|Stop until the display
returns to the cycle time before the power outage. Then, press
Start|Stop once to resume.
