To cancel the process at any time, press and hold the START/STOP button for 3 seconds.

During Bread Making

The Process

Once you start a program, the unit will automatically take care of each step of the process until the loaf is done. An indicator on the LCD will show the current function: Knead, Rise, Bake, or Keep Warm.

Knead

Most bread types use 2 Knead cycles. The first kneading cycle quickly mixes the main ingredients. The second kneading cycle is longer and continues the mixing process. The dough is “punched down” before the longer cycle begins, prior to removing the kneading paddle.

Rise

Rise cycles help to ensure the perfect consistency of all yeast breads. During the Rise cycles, your bread maker will appear to be inactive. The display will show that it is actually in Rise mode.

Bake

This bread maker will consistently regulate both baking time and temperature according to the recipe you select.

Keep Warm

Allows you to leave the finished bread in the machine to serve warm for up to 60 minutes. It also helps to keep the crust from becoming soggy if the bread is not removed from the machine immediately after baking. Some crusts will darken slightly in Keep Warm.

Options:

Light: Press and hold SIZE for 3 seconds to turn on the internal chamber light at any time. The light will automatically turn off after 30 seconds, or press and hold again to turn it off.
Pause: You can pause the process for up to 10 minutes at any time by pressing the START/STOP button while the unit is on. The time and power lights will flash while the program is paused. Press START/STOP to resume the program.
Add-ins: An audible signal of 4 sets of 5 long beeps each will sound to remind you to add any additional ingredients your recipe requires. To do so, open the lid and add additional ingredients. Be sure to close the lid once finished. This typically occurs during the second knead. The display will show “add-in” for a few minutes during the Knead cycle in case you miss the initial beeps.
Removing kneading paddle: After mixing/kneading is complete, there will be an audible signal of 10 short beeps before the last Rise cycle, indicating the point at which the mixing/kneading is complete (the display will show “paddle” for one minute in case you miss the initial beeps). At this point in the bread-making process, you have the option of removing the kneading paddle and/or reshaping the dough, though neither is necessary. To do so:

Press START/STOP to pause the program.
Open the lid and remove the bread pan by the handle.
Take the dough from the pan and remove the kneading paddle.
Form the dough into a neat ball and place in the center of the bread pan.
Replace the bread pan into the machine and turn clockwise to lock the bread pan into the unit. Close the lid.
Press START/STOP to resume the program.

NOTE: If you plan to remove the dough and reshape it in another pan for baking in your conventional oven, this is the time to do so. Be sure to press and hold the START/STOP button to reset the machine so it does not automatically resume the bread-making process after 10 minutes.

After Bread Making

There will be 10 beeps to signal the end of the Baking cycle; the LCD window will read 00:00. Your bread will be kept warm for 60 minutes in the keep warm cycle. There will be one long beep at the end of the Keep Warm cycle, and then the unit will shut off. For optimal results, we recommend removing the loaf as soon as the Baking cycle is complete and letting it cool on a wire rack.

To remove bread from the pan

Open the lid and use the pan hook to lift the bread pan handle. Using oven mitts, remove the bread pan by turning it counterclockwise.
Still using the oven mitts, hold the bottom of the bread pan, move the handle aside, and shake until the bread is released.
For best results, allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes prior to slicing.

NOTE: If you have not removed the kneading paddle before baking, be sure to remove the kneading paddle from the finished loaf. Use caution; the kneading paddle will be extremely hot.

POWER FAILURE BACKUP

This unit is equipped with a power failure backup system. In case of any disruption of the power supply, the unit will store in memory the stage of the bread-making cycle and resume once power is restored. The power backup feature can maintain memory for a power failure for up to 15 minutes.

CLEANING AND CARE

Caution: Unplug the machine before cleaning. Do not put the bread maker in water or in a dishwasher. Do not use scrubbing brushes or chemical cleansers, as these will damage the machine. Use only a mild, nonabrasive cleanser to clean the outside of the bread maker.
Bread pan and kneading paddle – The Pan and kneading paddle should be hand-washed with warm water and soap. Do not use metal utensils, as they will damage the nonstick surface.
Baking chamber – Remove all bread crumbs by wiping them away with a slightly damp cloth or clean pastry brush. DO NOT bend the heating element, which is located on the inside of the bread maker.
Lid – Wipe the inside of the lid with a sponge or damp cloth. The lid should not be immersed in water.
Outer housing – Use only a mild, nonabrasive cleanser to clean the outside of the bread maker.
Control panel – Wipe with a slightly damp cloth as necessary. Take care not to allow water or cleaning fluids under the buttons of the control panel.
Maintenance – Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
- Keep your bread maker clean at all times.
- Don’t worry if the color of the exterior of the baking pan changes over time. The color change is a result of steam and other moisture and does not affect the machine’s performance.
- If you have trouble removing the kneading paddle from the bread pan, put warm, soapy water in the bread pan for 10 to 15 minutes – this will loosen the paddle.

Troubleshooting

Question	Answer
Why did my dough/bread not rise well?	There are a number of factors that could result in a short rise. Be sure that the yeast is fresh and that all ingredients are room temperature (75ºF to 90°F). If the liquids are too warm or too cold, they will not activate the yeast properly. Be sure the ingredients are put into the baking pan in the correct order. The salt should be as far away from the yeast as possible. Note that not all breads rise as much as others. Whole-wheat or whole-grain breads tend to be shorter than white breads. Also, breads with more sugar or sweeteners, and ones that are enriched with eggs, will be taller than regular white breads.
Why is my bread sunken/uneven on the top?	Humidity and room temperature can greatly affect the results of baked yeast breads. Keep the bread maker away from direct sunlight. If the humidity is especially high, add an additional teaspoon per cup of flour used in the recipe.
Why does my yeast bread have an under-baked/gummy texture?	The dough was too wet, or possibly does not have enough white flour (for gluten development). Add a bit more flour, 1 tablespoon per cup, or reduce the amount of whole-wheat/grain flours in the recipe and substitute white flour.
Why does the interior of my yeast bread have excessive holes?	This would happen if either the bread is too wet or if too much yeast was used. Double-check the recipe and, if necessary, make changes by either adding a small amount of flour or reducing the yeast slightly.
Why is my yeast bread heavy and dense?	This could be one of a few different issues. The mixture may be too dry as a result of not enough liquid or because lower fat substitutes were used. Another reason may be not using enough yeast. If this is occurring in whole-wheat/grain bread, you may need to use vital wheat gluten to help with the structure of the finished bread.
Why are the corners/edges of the bread full of extra flour/not evenly mixed?	Sometimes ingredients will stick to the corners of the pan, most commonly in the cake/quick bread or gluten-free bread (both have more batter-like consistencies than a dough). Check the bread about 10 minutes into the kneading/mixing time and pause to scrape down if necessary. Lightly coating the bread pan with nonstick cooking spray will help to prevent this from happening as well.
How do I get the kneading paddle out of the loaf?	There are two options. In most programs you can remove the paddle after you hear the Remove Paddle signal (prior to the final rise). If this is not an option, or you were not present to remove it, wait until the bread is cooled and then, carefully take out the paddle (use caution because it may be hot).
Why is the unit smoking/producing a burning smell?	Most likely this is from ingredients that fell into the bottom of the bread machine or onto the heating element. If it is excessive, unplug the unit and once cool, clean the interior of the unit. Plug the unit back in and resume the program (the program will be stored in memory for a maximum of 15 minutes). In most cases, the smoke/odor will be minimal and it will dissipate.
What do the error codes mean?	The display shows “HHH” (accompanied by beeps): The unit’s internal temperature is too high. This usually occurs when trying to make two successive loaves. Open the lid and allow the unit to cool 10–20 minutes. The display shows “LLL” (accompanied by beeps): The unit’s internal temperature is too low to bake bread. Stop the beeps by pressing the START/STOP button. The display shows “EEO” or “EEI” (accompanied by beeps): Unplug the unit and contact your nearby service center.
