Bread Pan
Operating Tips
With your new Breadman®Automatic Bread Baker:
•You can use pre-packaged bread mixes. Recipe instructions
are on each package.
NOTE: Ingredients should be added in order suggested
on page 8 of this manual.
•You can bake a loaf of bread from scratch. See the Recipe
and Menu Planner included with your Breadman® for lots of
tasty options.
•You can make dough for rolls or shaped loaves you’ll bake
in your oven. Use the Breadman’s® Dough cycle to do the
mixing and kneading for you, then shape and bake the
bread yourself.
•You can make non-yeast Batter Breads™, cakes & jam,
pizza dough too!
•To insert the Bread Pan in the Bread Baker, seat it in place
and press down until it snaps into place.
Remember to insert the Kneading Paddle first, then add all
your ingredients BEFORE inserting the Bread Pan into the
Oven of your Breadman®
.
•To remove the Bread Pan from the Oven, hold the
Handle with a mitt and lift gently.
When you remove the Bread Pan after baking, BE SURE
TO WEAR OVEN MITTS to prevent burning. After you
remove the loaf by turning the Bread Pan upside down and
shaking gently, check to see that the Kneading Paddle is
removed from the loaf. If it is stuck in your bread, use a
non-metal utensil to gently remove it, taking care not to
scratch the Kneading Paddle.
•Use oven mitts when working with bread or any part of the
Breadman®that is hot from baking.
•Wipe off crumbs and clean the Breadman® , as needed,
after baking.
•Unplug the Breadman®when you are not using it.
4
USING THE BREADMAN®

•It is normal for the Viewing Window to collect moisture
during the beginning of the Baking cycle. As your bread
bakes, the moisture soon will evaporate so you can watch
your bread’s baking progress.
•Don’t open the Lid during baking. This causes the bread
to bake improperly.
•Don’t unplug the Breadman®during Kneading or Baking.
This will stop the operation.
•You have 30 minute power failure back-up. If the
electricity in your home goes out or you experience a power
surge, the Breadman’s memory stores the active program for
30 minutes. If power is re-connected within that time
period, the Breadman will return to baking your bread.
•If your power is out for longer than 30 minutes, and if you
are using any dairy products, perishables or meats in your
bread, for health, sanitary and other considerations, you
should discard the contents of the recipe and start again
with new fresh ingredients.
•To protect young children, keep the Breadman®out of their
reach when you’re not there to supervise — especially
during the Kneading and Baking cycles.
•Use the Breadman®on a flat, hard surface. Don’t place it
near a flame or heat, or on a soft surface (such as a carpet).
Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use.
Dropping the Breadman®could cause it to malfunction.
•To avoid burns, stay clear of the Steam Vent during
kneading and baking. Also, don’t touch the Viewing
Window — it gets very hot.
•After baking, wait for the Breadman®to cool down
before touching or cleaning the Bread Pan or internals of
the Breadman®without oven mitts.
•Never use metal utensils with the Breadman® . These can
scratch the non-stick surface of the Bread Pan.
•Avoid electric shock by unplugging before using a damp
cloth or sponge to wipe the interior of the Oven.
•Never use the Bread Pan on a gas or electric cooktop or on
an open flame.
•Avoid covering the Steam Vent during Kneading and
Baking cycles. This could cause the Breadman®to warp
or discolor.
5
Caution

The Breadman®Automatic Bread Baker has eleven (11) cycles from which to choose:
•The French cycle is for breads with crisper crusts, especially those that are lowest in
sweeteners, such as French and Italian breads.
•Fruit & Nut cycle is for breads such as apple walnut, banana, and raisin bread.
•Batter Bread™ uses high amounts of sugar and fat. Eggs are added to make a nutritious
sweet bread.
•The Jam cycle makes your favorite jams. See the Recipe and Menu Planner for recipe.
This table shows how long each part of the Baking cycle takes:

KNEADING AND BAKING CYCLES
*For Whole Wheat cycles except Rapid cycle, which is
15 minutes, the mix initially rises for up to 30
minutes. No movement occurs in the pan.
This is normal.
**Note: If bread is not removed immediately after
baking, and “STOP” button is not pressed, a
controlled Keep Warm phase will begin for each
selection (except Batter Bread™/Cake, Pizza Dough,
Dough and Jam). While this will help reduce
condensation between loaf and Bread Pan, it is best
to remove bread as soon as possible after completion
of the Baking phase.
* These are suggested sizes for each particular cycle.

MANUAL

STEP 3 STEP 4
Place the ingredients into the Bread Pan.
For best results, add all liquid ingredients
first. Then, add all dry ingredients
EXCEPT yeast.
ALWAYS ADD YEAST LAST.
NOTE: If your recipe contains salt,
please add salt with liquid ingredients,
keeping it away from the yeast. Salt may
activate the yeast prematurely.
*For Batter Bread™/Cake, Jam and
Dough cycles, the order of ingredients is
not important.
Make a small indentation on top of the
dry ingredients (not so deep it reaches
the wet layer) and add the yeast to the
indentation.
This order of adding ingredients is
important, especially when using the
Timer, because it keeps the yeast away
from the liquid ingredients until it’s time
to knead them together. (Liquid
ingredients will activate the yeast.)
8

Insert the Bread Pan in the Breadman® .
To insert the Bread Pan into the machine,
set it in place. Press down until it snaps
into place.
Close the Lid and plug in the Breadman® .
When you plug it in, the Breadman®
automatically sets to Basic White Bread,
Medium Crust.
Press the Select button to choose the
cycle you want.
Press the Select button to choose the
bread selection you desire. Each time you
press “SELECT,” the number of your
selection will be displayed in the Display
Window. See Control Panel section on
page 3 for the selection order.
9
STEP 5 STEP 6

Press Start to begin the Kneading and/or
Baking cycle.
First, the Breadman®mixes the ingredients
for one minute. Then, it begins the
Kneading process. During this process, the
yeast begins to activate, and normally the
Viewing Window begins to fog. (This will
clear so you can see the progress of your
loaf.) The Breadman®will stop kneading
after a few minutes to let the dough rise
before baking.
Eight minutes before the end of the
Kneading process, the Breadman®beeps
to let you know this is the time to add any
fruit and nuts.
If you chose Pizza Dough or Dough, the
Breadman®beeps to let you know when
the dough is ready to be removed. Then
it’s up to you to shape it, give it time for
a final rising period, and bake it in a
conventional oven.
For other cycles, Breadman®continues to
the Baking process.
When your bread is done, the
Breadman®will beep. This indicates that
the Baking phase is completed. Press the
Stop button, then put on your oven
mitts and remove the Bread Pan.
Remember that the Bread Pan and your
loaf are both very hot! Be careful not to
place either on a tablecloth, plastic
surface, or other surface that might
scorch or melt.
If the bread is not removed immediately
after baking and if the Stop button is not
pressed, a controlled Cool-Down cycle
will begin and the machine will
automatically shut off after 60 minutes.
While this will help prevent the bread
from becoming soggy, for best results,
remove bread immediately after Baking
cycle is complete.
The Keep Warm / Convection Holding
Cycle does not apply to Pizza Dough,
Dough, Batter Breads™ / Cakes and
Jam cycles.
10
STEP 7 STEP 8

STEP 9
Remove the loaf from the Bread Pan.
Turn over the Bread Pan a few inches
from the countertop and gently shake out
the loaf. It’s best to remove the loaf as
soon as the Breadman®is done baking.
Place the loaf on a wire rack or other
cooling surface to cool. Bread should be
cooled slightly (15 to 30 minutes) before
it is sliced.
If necessary, remove the Kneading
Paddle from the loaf.
Sometimes the Kneading Paddle will stick
in a loaf of bread. If it does, use a non-
metal utensil to gently remove it, taking
care not to scratch the Kneading Paddle.
When you are done using the Breadman® ,
be sure to unplug it.

Instructions For
Batter Bread™/
Cake Cycle
PLEASE NOTE:
The Breadman®Batter Bread™/Cake cycle is for non-yeast
breads, such as banana bread, pumpkin bread or cake. The
Batter Breads usually call for quick-acting leavening agents
such as baking powder or baking soda.
The Breadman®will mix all of the ingredients and bake a
cake-like bread in 2 hours.
NOTE: These breads tend not to rise as high as
yeast breads.
Basic cake recipes can be used as well as pre-packaged
cake mixes.
When baking cakes from scratch, please note the following:
•Baking cakes such as pound cake or angel food cake or
any cake that requires long beating of eggs or egg
whites or other ingredients are not recommended in
the Breadman® .
•If a recipe calls for a 9 ˝ x 5 ˝ cake pan, it will not have any
problem fitting into the Baking Pan. On the same note, if a
recipe is written to form two layers, the recipe can be cut
in half to fit into the Baking Pan.
•Cakes in which all ingredients can be mixed together at
one time are prime recipes for the Breadman® .
•Measure ingredients in the recipe and add to the Baking
Pan. (Make sure the Kneading Paddle is in position.)
•Insert Baking Pan into the Breadman®and close the Lid.
•Press MENU to select the Batter Bread™/Cake cycle.
•Press START/STOP button to begin cycle.
•The baking process will finish in 2 hours.
•BE SURE TO WEAR OVEN MITTS AS THE UNIT
WILL BE VERY HOT!
•Turn onto a baking rack and let the cake cool completely
before slicing or decorating.
The Delay Bake Timer can not be used for the Batter
Bread™/Cake cycle.

Pizza Dough
•The DOUGH setting is used to make a variety of bread
types (with the exception Pizza dough).
•After the end of the first rise, remove the dough, shape the
dough and bake it in a conventional oven.
•Dough cycle takes 1 hour 25 minutes.
•Pizza Dough setting will simplify Pizza Dough preparation.
When the dough is ready, roll it out with a rolling pin and
top with your favorite toppings. Then bake in a
conventional oven, following the times and temperatures
given in your recipe.
•The Pizza Dough cycle takes 50 minutes.
DOUGH CYCLE INSTRUCTIONS

The Jam cycle is very similar to the Batter Bread™ cycle. Just
add your ingredients and the Breadman®will do the rest.
•Do not reduce sugar or use sugar substitutes. The exact
amounts of sugar, fruit, and pectin are necessary for a good set.
•Use only ripe fruit (not overripe or underripe) for best flavor.
•Do not puree fruit. Crush with a potato masher or food
processor. Jam should have bits of fruit in it.
•Recipes should not exceed 3-1/2 cups.
•Be sure to measure fruit after it has been crushed, not before.
•Remove stems, seeds, or pits from fruit before crushing.
•With Kneading Paddle in add the ingredients call for in
your recipe.
•Insert Baking Pan into the Breadman.®.
•Close Lid.
•Press MENU button to select the Jam cycle.
•Press START/STOP button to begin.
•The Breadman®will pre-heat for 15 minutes before
anything begins to mix. After this time, the ingredients
will be mixed and heated for 50 minutes. The jam will
then go through a “Cool Down” cycle for 10 minutes.
The entire cycle takes 1 hour 15 minutes to complete.
•The Breadman®will beep when the cycle is complete.
•Press START/STOP and remove the Baking Pan from the
machine. MAKE SURE TO WEAR OVEN MITTS
AS THE PAN WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT!
•Pour the hot jam into a refrigerator/freezer-safe container,
leaving at least 1/2˝ of space at the top. Cover tightly.
•Jam will thicken upon cooling and storage.
The Delay Timer can not be used for the Jam cycle.
See table at bottom of page 6 for times.

or Dough cycles.
To preset your Breadman® , follow these steps:
1. Add the ingredients as usual, taking care not to let the yeast
and liquid ingredients contact one another.
2. Close the Breadman®Lid and plug it in.
3. Select the Baking Cycle you want. The time needed for the
selected Baking Cycle appears in the Display Window.
15
USING THE TIMER

For Best Results •Take care to measure ingredients accurately, using a good
set of measuring cups and spoons, or a good scale. Make
sure to level all dry ingredients as you measure them.
Inaccurate measuring could cause unexpected results in
your loaf of bread.
•In particular, be precise in measuring the water.
•Take care not to add more than 3 cups of flour per loaf.
Excess flour will cause the bread to bake incompletely and
the dough to stick to the inside of the Lid.
•After placing all the ingredients in the Baking Pan, wait 10
minutes before pressing Start, or use the Timer to add 10
minutes to the total processing cycle.
•Usefresh ingredients.
•Since moisture is an enemy to flour, be sure to store
your flour in an airtight container.
•To keep your yeast active, store it in an airtight
container in your refrigerator.
•Speaking of fresh — when using the Timer, we recommend
setting it for as short a time as possible. Because ingredients
are partially combined in the Bread Pan, the dough may
tend to deteriorate if left too many hours, especially on a
warm or humid day.
•Keep the Lid closed during the Baking cycle. Opening it
causes uneven baking.
•After your bread has cooled completely, store it in a plastic
bag or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
16
USING THE TIMER (continued)

Caution
The Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle have non-stick surfaces
that make cleaning easy.
1. After baking each loaf of bread, unplug the Breadman®and
discard any crumbs.
2. Remove the Bread Pan from the Oven and the Kneading
Paddle from the Bread Pan. Then, as needed, wash the
Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle inside and out with warm,
soapy water. Avoid scratching the non-stick surfaces. DO
NOT PUT THE PAN IN A DISHWASHER OR SOAK
IT IN WATER.
If the Kneading Paddle is stuck to the Drive Shaft, pour
warm water in the Pan to loosen it. DO NOT USE
EXCESSIVE FORCE.
3. Wipe the inside of the Lid and Oven with a damp cloth or
sponge. If any residue has scorched on the heating plate or
elsewhere, wipe with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad and
wipe clean. The Lid can be removed for cleaning.
DO NOT PUT THE LID IN A DISHWASHER.
Do not use vinegar, bleach, or harsh chemicals to clean the
Breadman® .
Do not soak the Bread Pan for a long period of time — this
could interfere with the free working of the Drive Shaft.
Be sure the Breadman®is completely cooled before storing.
The lid is removable for easy cleaning. Because it contains a
sensitive electronic sensor, DO NOT LEAVE IT SOAKING
IN WATER.
DO NOT PUT LID IN THE DISHWASHER.
Avoid electric shock, unplug the Breadman®
before cleaning!

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Symptom
Bread has an
offensive odor
Baked bread is soggy
or the bread’s surface
is sticky
Start button doesn’t
start the machine
Can’t set
the Timer
Possible Solutions
Check to be sure you added the correct amount of yeast.
Measure carefully — too much yeast will cause an unpleasant
odor and may cause the loaf to rise too high.
Be sure to use only fresh ingredients.
Remove the bread from the Bread Pan as soon as it is
done baking. Leaving it in the pan allows condensation
to collect on the sides touching the pan.
Also be sure to cool the loaf on a wire rack; cooling it on
a countertop causes the side next to the counter to
become soggy.
Make sure the machine is plugged in.
If nothing appears in the Display Window, press Select to
choose your Baking cycle. (You must select a Baking cycle
before pressing Start.)
If the baking area is too hot, the Breadman®will not start
because of an automatic safety feature. Remove the Bread Pan
with your ingredients, and wait until the Breadman®cools
down — about 20 minutes — before starting a new loaf.
If you selected either the Dough or Fruit & Nut cycle, you
cannot use the Timer. This is because the ingredients should
be processed immediately for these cycles.
The Kneading
Paddle was stuck
in the bread
Make sure the Kneading Paddle is mounted properly before
adding ingredients to the Bread Pan and baking.
Sometimes denser or crustier loaves of bread may pull the
Kneading Paddle out with them when you remove the loaves
after baking. When this happens, use a non-metal utensil and
gently remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf.
