IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions when using your bread maker.
Read all instructions.
Key Safety Points
General Safety
• Do not touch hot surfaces. To open,
use a heat-resistant glove or oven
mitt to lift the lid.
• Only remove the bread pan once it
has cooled.
• Do not block any ventilation
openings. Keep your hands and face
clear of openings.
• Always use heat-resistant gloves,
pads, or oven mitts when handling
hot materials, and when placing
items in or removing items from the
bread maker, including the bread
pan.
• Do not immerse the bread maker
housing or plug in water or liquid.
• Closely supervise children near the
bread maker.
• Unplug when not in use, and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking o parts.
• Do not use your bread maker if it
is damaged, not working, or if the
cord or plug is damaged. Contact
Customer Support (see page 19).
READ AND SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use third-party replacement
parts or accessories, as this may
cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not place the bread maker or any
of its parts on a stove, near gas or
electric burners, or in a heated oven.
• Be extremely cautious when moving
your bread maker (or removing the
bread pan) while the bread maker is
hot.
• Do not clean with metal scouring
pads. Metal fragments can break o
the pad and touch electrical parts,
creating a risk of electric shock.
• Do not place anything on top of your
bread maker. Do not store anything
inside your bread maker.
• Only use your bread maker as
directed in this manual.
• Not for commercial use. Household
use only.

220–240V
120V, 60Hz
While Baking
• Never use your bread maker without
the bread pan in place.
• Do not place oversized foods or
metal utensils into your bread maker.
• Do not place paper, cardboard,
non-heat-resistant plastic, or similar
materials into your bread maker.
• Do not touch any moving or
spinning parts. Keep hands and
utensils away from moving blades
or discs while kneading dough to
reduce the risk of personal injury
or damage to the bread maker. A
scraper may be used only when the
bread maker is not running.
• Make sure the lid is securely in place
before operating the bread maker.
• Keep your bread maker away from
flammable materials (curtains,
tablecloths, etc). Use on a flat, stable,
heat-resistant surface away from
heat sources or liquids.
• Immediately turn o and unplug
your bread maker if you see dark
smoke coming out. Food is burning
or there is a circuit problem. Wait
for smoke to clear before pulling
the bread pan out. If the cause was
not burnt food, contact Customer
Support (page 19).
Plug & Cord Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
• Your bread maker has a polarized
plug (one prong is wider than the
other), which fits into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, do not use the plug in that
outlet. Do not alter the plug in any
way.
• The Cosori Bread Maker complies
with all standards regarding
electromagnetic fields (EMF). If
handled properly and according to
the instructions in this user manual,
the appliance is safe to use based on
scientific evidence available today.
Note: This bread maker uses a short
power-supply cord to reduce the risk of
entangling or tripping. Use extension
cords with care. The marked electrical
rating of the extension cord must be as
great as the rating of the bread maker
(see page 3).
• Do not let the power cord (or any
extension cord) hang over the edge
of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
• Your bread maker should only be
used with 120V, 60Hz electrical
systems. Do not plug into another
type of outlet.

when done. If it was selected, the Keep
Warm function will turn on for 30
minutes.
Figure 2.1
Figure 2.2
Figure 2.3
12. Wait until the bread maker has cooled,
then use oven mitts to remove the bread
pan. Turn the bread pan upside down
and shake slightly to release the bread.
Note: If the kneading blade remains stuck in the
loaf, insert the hook into the bottom of the kneading
blade and pull gently to remove the blade from the
loaf. [Figure 2.3]

13
• Lightly coat the kneading blade with
nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil to
make the blade easier to remove in case it
gets stuck in the loaf.
• Add ingredients in the following order:
liquids, butter, dry ingredients, then yeast.
Ideally, the yeast should not touch the wet
ingredients.
• Instant yeast and active dry yeast cause
the bread to have dierent rising times.
Instant yeast is much quicker and proofs
faster, while active dry yeast is slower and
needs to be dissolved in water to activate.
• Scrape down the sides of the bread pan to
ensure the flour and ingredients are fully
incorporated into the dough.
• When baking in higher altitudes, use less
flour. Flour absorbs more liquid in high
altitudes. Dough also rises faster in higher
altitudes, so use 1/3 less yeast. Adding
a little more salt will promote slower,
more even rising. Add no more than 1⁄4
teaspoon of additional salt. Try one or
all of these changes to determine which
gives you the best results.
• When baking is done, use a thermometer
to see if your bread has reached 190°F to
confirm your bread is completely cooked.
• Allow bread to cool for a minimum of 30
minutes before slicing.
Quick breads are made with baking powder
and baking soda, which are activated by
moisture and heat. For best results, all liquids
should be placed in the bottom of the bread
pan, with dry ingredients on top. During the
initial mixing, butter and dry ingredients
may collect in the corners of the pan. If this
happens, pause the bread maker and scrape
down the sides of the bread pan, using
a rubber spatula to avoid scratching the
nonstick coating.
Tips
Bread Flour
Whole Wheat Flour
Buckwheat Flour
Corn Flour & Oat Flour
Quick Breads
Adding Ingredients
For select presets, you will be prompted to
add in any additional ingredients (such as
nuts, fruits, seeds, or cheeses) to the bread
maker before the second kneading cycle.
The bread maker will beep 5 times to notify
you. The display will show “Add” for 5
minutes while kneading continues in case
you miss the initial beeps.
Bread flour features a higher gluten and
protein content than all-purpose flour,
giving the loaf greater volume and elasticity.
Whole wheat flour is dense and nutrient-
rich. Loaves made with whole wheat flour
are usually smaller in size. Many recipes call
for you to combine whole wheat flour with
bread flour for the best results.
Buckwheat flour, also known as “rough
flour,” is high in fiber. Similar to whole wheat
flour, it can be combined with bread flour for
a larger loaf.
Corn flour and oat flour are additive
ingredients that give bread a slightly nutty
flavor and a more distinct texture.

Eggs
Baking Powder & Baking Soda
Instant Yeast & Active Yeast
Water & Liquids
Self-rising flour contains baking powder and
salt that add volume. It is typically used in
cakes.
Sugar adds sweetness and color to a loaf. It
also helps feed the yeast, which allows the
dough to rise faster. However, to prevent
activation before the bread maker’s rising
stage, sugar should not be mixed with yeast
when adding the ingredients.
Salt is also used to improve the taste and
texture of the loaf. Salt should be used in
moderation when baking, as it can keep
yeast from rising.
Eggs add nutrients, texture, and size to a
loaf. The egg yolk should be whisked evenly
before being added to other ingredients.
Baking powder and baking soda both help
to rapidly leaven dough without using yeast.
They give bread a soft, fluy texture. The two
can be used together.
Instant yeast is quicker to rise and can be
added directly to other ingredients, while
active yeast is slower and must be dissolved
in liquid before being added. Both kinds of
yeast should be stored in the refrigerator.
Water is an essential ingredient for making
bread, but it can be replaced with milk or
mixed with milk powder to improve flavor
and crust color. Some recipes may call for
fruit juice for the purpose of enhancing
bread flavor.
