and has a crispy crust. This is not a suitable setting for recipes
requiring butter, margarine, or milk.
Gluten Free Bread
For gluten-free breads and mixes.
Quick Bread
For packaged quick breads or quick-bread recipes that do not
use yeast for rising and instead may use baking powder or
soda. Kneading, rising, and baking in less time than yeast bread.
Tip: Spray Pan with nonstick cooking spray before adding
ingredients for easy removal of baked Quick Bread.
Sweet Bread
For breads with yeast, and additives such as fruit juices, grated
coconut, raisins, dry fruits, chocolate, or added sugar. Due to a
longer phase of rising, bread will be light and airy.
1.5 lb. (680 g) Express
Kneading, rising, and baking occurs. Bread will be heavier and
not as high as bread in other cycles.
2.0 lb. (907 g) Express
Same as 1.5 lb. (680 g) Express except cycle takes longer.
Dough
This cycle prepares yeast dough for buns, pizza crust, etc., to
be baked in a conventional oven. There is no baking in this
cycle.
Jam
For making jams with fresh fruit.
Roast Nut
For roasting nuts or making a roasted nuts recipe.
Whole Grain Bread
For breads with heavy varieties of flour that require a longer
phase of kneading and rising (whole wheat flour, rye flour).
Bread will be more compact and heavy.
Bake
Bread can be baked with this cycle; or use when additional
baking of breads is needed because a loaf is too light or not
baked through. There is no kneading or resting.
Tips:
• Use a rubber spatula to scrape sides of pan while Bread Maker is mixing to ensure all ingredients are blended.
• Remove Bread Pan from Bread Maker when cycle is complete. Let Bread Pan cool for 5 to 10 minutes on a wire cooling rack before

2. To clean Bread Pan: Carefully lift up Bread Pan Handle and turn
Bread Pan counterclockwise; then pull Pan out of Bread Maker.
Wipe inside and outside of Bread Pan with a damp cloth. Do not
use any abrasive agents, in order to protect nonstick coating.
Bread Pan must be dried completely before installation.
NOTE: Bread Pan, Kneading Paddle, Measuring Cup, Measuring
Spoon, and Paddle Hook are dishwasher-safe. Outside of Bread
Pan and Base may discolor. This is normal.
3. To clean Base and Lid: After use, unplug and allow unit to
cool. Use a damp cloth to wipe Lid, Base, Baking Chamber, and
interior of Viewing Window. Do not use any abrasive cleaners
for cleaning, since this will degrade high polish of surface. Never

Tips: Bread Basics
Two things can ensure a perfect loaf of bread: using fresh, quality ingredients and measuring them accurately.
Flour
All-Purpose Flour
Flour that contains hard and soft wheats, suitable for general baking. Bread flour is
better suited for yeast breads.
All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend
Is used in a gluten free recipe. 1:1 replacement gluten free flour is substituted in equal
amounts for all-purpose flour in classic recipes or recipes that aren't developed to be
gluten free. This flour does not work well with yeast bread recipes.
Bread Flour
Bread flour is the most important ingredient in making bread and is recommended
in most yeast-bread recipes. It has a high gluten content and can keep size of bread
from collapsing after rising. Flour varies by region. For example, American flour is
milled from hard spring wheat; Canadian flour is milled from hard winter wheat.
Self-Rising Flour
Flour that contains baking powder, used especially for making cakes. Do not use self-
rising flour in combination with yeast.
Whole-Wheat Flour
Whole-wheat flour is ground from the entire wheat kernel. Bread made with all or
part whole-wheat flour will have higher fiber and nutritional content. Whole-wheat
flour is heavier and, as a result, loaves may be smaller in size and have a heavier
texture.
Other Ingredients
Egg
Eggs can improve bread texture and make bread larger in size. Egg must be whisked
in with other liquid ingredients.
Salt
Salt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. It is also used to restrain
yeast activity.
Butter, Shortening, and Vegetable Oil
Butter or shortening should be cut into small pieces before adding to liquid; or butter
should be melted as indicated in recipes.
Sugar
Sugar is “food” for yeast and also increases sweet taste and color of bread. It is a
very important element of making bread rise. White sugar is normally used; however,
brown sugar, powdered sugar, or cotton sugar may also be called for in some
recipes.
Water and Other Liquids (always added first)
Water is an essential ingredient for making bread. See recipe recommendations for
liquid temperatures. Some recipes may call for milk or other liquids. Never use dairy
with Delay Timer option.
Yeast
Yeast is a living organism and should be kept in refrigerator to remain fresh. It needs
carbohydrates found in sugar and flour as nourishment.
Yeast used in Bread Maker recipes will be sold under several different names: Bread
machine yeast (preferred), instant yeast, and rapid rise yeast. Most recipes state bread
machine yeast.
Before using, check expiration date of yeast. Return to refrigerator immediately after
each use.
Tips:
To check whether yeast is fresh and active:
• Pour 1 cup (240 g) hot tap water into Measuring Cup.
• Add 1 teaspoon (5 g) white sugar and 1 tablespoon (11 g) yeast.
• Place Measuring Cup in a warm place for about 5 minutes.
• Fresh, active yeast will begin to bubble or “grow.” If it does not,
yeast is dead or inactive.
Ingredients

Tips: Use Exact Measurements
One of the most important steps in making good bread is proper measurement of ingredients. Measure each ingredient carefully and add to your
Bread Pan in order given in the recipe. Keep in mind room temperature, humidity and altitude may affect your bread outcome. Too hot or too cold room
temperature and/or high humidity will make a difference in baked bread. On a hot, humid day, weighing ingredients with a digital scale is best for accurate
measuring. Always follow your recipe and information in this Use and Care Guide. When making bread in high-altitude areas, consult with your local
Cooperative Extension office.
Adding Sequence
Always add ingredients in order given in recipe.
FIRST: Liquid ingredients
SECOND: Dry ingredients
LAST: Yeast
Yeast should only be placed on dry flour and never come
in contact with liquid or salt.
When you use Delay Timer function, never add perishable ingredients
such as eggs or milk.
Liquid Ingredients
Water, fresh milk, or other liquids should be measured with a glass
measuring cup with clear markings and a spout. Set cup on counter and
lower yourself to check liquid level. When measuring cooking oil or other
ingredients, clean measuring cup thoroughly in between.
Dry Measurements
Measure dry ingredients by gently spooning flour, etc., into Measuring
Cup and then, once filled, leveling off with a knife. Never use Measuring
Cup to scoop your dry ingredients directly from a container since this
could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Do not tap bottom
of Measuring Cup or pack down.
Hint: Before measuring, stir flour to aerate it.
When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, such as salt or sugar,
use a measuring spoon, making sure it is leveled off.
Weighing dry ingredients with a digital scale will provide better baking
results.

Frequently Asked Questions
May I use a sugar substitute in place of sugar?
Sugar is necessary for yeast to produce a light loaf with a good height.
Results may vary with type and amount of sugar substitute used.
May I omit salt or sugar from the recipe?
No, both sugar and salt play an important role in the breadmaking
process. Salt prevents yeast from overreacting and bread from
overrising. Combination of sugar, salt, and yeast is a key part of
the breadmaking process. Remember that total sugar and salt
amounts are divided among all the slices, so the amount of sugar and
salt per serving is small.
When do I add raisins, nuts, etc. to bread?
For add-ins (nuts, raisins), machine will beep 12 times. Open Lid and
pour in your add-ins.
Can I open Lid while Bread Maker is operating?
This Bread Maker is designed with a window in Lid to let you watch
your bread’s progress. Quick checks are OK in early stages of
kneading and to add ingredients when the beep sounds. Use a rubber
spatula to scrape sides of pan while Bread Maker is mixing to ensure
all ingredients are blended. However, temperature in Baking Chamber
adjusts for rising and baking stages. Opening Lid during these steps
could cause loaf to fall or not bake properly. Sometimes condensation
forms on Window after initial mixing and kneading. It usually
disappears once baking cycle starts, so you should be able to get a
clear view of your loaf.
What if bread dough looks dry and lumpy?
Add same liquid as recipe 1 teaspoon at a time and mix before adding
more. Dough should cleanly pull away from Bread Pan sides.
What if bread dough looks too wet?
Add same flour as recipe 1 tablespoon at a time and mix a few minutes
before adding more. Dough should cleanly pull away from Bread Pan
sides.
Can I use my favorite bread recipes in my Bread Maker?
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion of
ingredients. Become familiar with unit and make several loaves of
bread with recipes provided before you begin experimenting. Never
exceed a total amount of 4 1/2 cups (540 g) of dry ingredients (that
includes flours, oats, cornmeal, etc.). Use recipes in this book to help
determine ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and amounts of yeast,
sugar, salt, and butter/margarine to use.
What will happen if I leave bread in Bread Pan after baking?
This unit has a 1 hour Warm setting that lets you leave bread in pan for
up to an hour after baking is complete. Once Warm setting is over, it is
best to remove bread immediately or bottom of your loaf will absorb
moisture and become soggy.
Can recipe be cut in half?
No, it is not recommended. Ingredient proportions work better in full
amounts.
How can bread mixes be used in machine and at what setting?
Package instructions will list amount of water and amount of yeast
to use. Be sure to add liquid, then dry ingredients, followed by yeast.
Do not allow yeast to sit in liquid. Bread type setting is dependent
upon type of bread mix being used (i.e., White bread uses Basic bread
setting; Sweet Bread setting is for use with dried fruit, cheese, or nuts;
whole-wheat or multigrain should use Whole Grain setting; Crust
setting, either Light, Medium, or Dark, is a personal preference). Do
not use bread mixes that exceed 2 lb. (907 g) loaf size.
What is the difference between American flour and Canadian Flour?
Canadian flour has a higher protein or gluten content than American
flour. You can substitute US flour in even amounts for Canadian flour.
However, Canadian flour may absorb more moisture. Check your
dough during first kneading cycle. If it appears dry, you may add up to
1 tablespoon (15 g) of additional water per cup of flour in the recipe.
Add water 1 tablespoon (15 g) at a time until desired consistency of a
soft and supple dough is reached.
