FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

A. Automatic Bread Maker Base: The Automatic Bread Maker Base is equipped with

a built-in EasyLift Lid and houses the heating unit and Pre-programmed Control

Panel. The Base also holds the Nonstick Bread Pan and Dual Kneading Paddles.

B. EasyLift Lid with Dual Porthole Glass Windows: The Lid includes two viewing

windows for easy access while the bread machine is in operation. Check progress of

baking items through the windows rather than opening the Lid; this saves energy

and maintains countdown timing schedules.

To open the Lid after cooking, be aware of escaping steam and use pot holders as

needed. Use pot holders or heat-resistant gloves to remove the Nonstick Baking Pan.

C. Nonstick Baking Pan: The die cast aluminum Nonstick Baking Pan is used for

all foods baked in the Automatic Bread Maker. It holds the Dual Kneading Paddles,

which can be removed as needed to prepare foods such as jam, yogurt and other

cooked foods.

D. Dual Kneading Paddles: Two Paddles sit inside the Nonstick Baking Pan and

should be used any time the kneading process is used in bread preparation. When

not in use, remove the Paddles and set aside. To re-insert, align the square side of

each Paddle to the accompanying shaft and press down until fully seated.

BREAD BAKING MADE EASY

for Bread Types and 8 pre-programmed choices for Specialty Baked Foods. With the

versatility of this Automatic Bread Maker, the 15 bread and baked specialty choices

are only the starting place to create delicious and amazing bakery goods. Various

times have been pre-programmed; you can either use the pre-programmed choices

in a simple 1-2-3 Step process, or you can manually change the times and options

as desired.

We encourage you to experiment, trying dierent breads and classic favorites, because

The sky is the limit with your Automatic Bread Maker!

Bread Types

Basic White Bread is one of life’s most simple, pure pleasures! Serve it any night of the

week with hot soup or a chilled salad and you are sure to please everyone. Use Basic

Bread for add-ins, such as fruit or chocolate chips to create new family favorites.

French Bread has more resistance to the touch than Basic Bread and a yeasty, aromatic

aroma. It is especially good when served with pasta dishes and hearty soups. Tear or

cut thick slices and serve while warm. Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or try

melted butter with herbs.

BREAD BAKING MADE EASY

A great sandwich-making bread and one that is good for you as well, whole wheat

bread can be dense in texture and oers more avor. When cool, wrap tightly in plastic

wrap and wait for twelve hours before cutting into thin slices. Makes excellent toast for

a breakfast treat.

Making gluten-free bread is a technical process; carefully observe measurements and

amounts to get the best results. Use the correct recipe that ts one of the 2, 2½ or 3

pound loaf sizes. The texture of gluten-free bread is somewhat coarse and the bread

easily tears; handle slices carefully and toast for added strength and density.

Sweet bread, such as Cinnamon Swirl or Maple Pecan, can be especially welcome at

the breakfast table. Add raisins, pecans, walnuts or poppy seeds for avor and texture.

When you are in a hurry, yet want a favorite homemade-bread touch to your meal, a

recipe for Super Rapid Rising Bread is sure to satisfy and please. Use rapid-rise yeast

and bread our to assist in speeding the process along. Bread is hot and ready within

just 90 minutes!

A cousin to basic or white bread, buttermilk bread reects the title – cold buttermilk

is added to the recipe to oer a tangy twist on traditional white bread. The crumb of

buttermilk bread is small, making it a great choice for sandwiches or toast. Wrap tightly

and keep for up to 4 days in a cool, dark place.

The convenience of using the Automatic Bread Maker is clear when it comes to

baking. Prepare a loaf cake or a quick bread and spoon it into the Nonstick Baking Pan.

Turn on the Cake Mode and within a short time, warm cake or bread comes straight

from the oven. No need to heat the entire house with this easy and convenient method

of baking.
