CONVENIENT FUNCTION & USEFUL TIPS
Buzzer Sound
A buzzer sound will be given as:
- 1) electricity is connected.
- 2) Loaf, Color, Menu or Time Setup is pressed.
- 3) switch “Start/Stop/Pause”.
- 4) During kneading process, the buzzer sound is given continuously to remind you of adding material.
- 5) The intermittent buzzer sound is given as “Keep Warm” is closed down.
Keep Warm
- 1) After baking process is complete, the bread machine will shift to the Keep Warm setting for 1 hour.
- 2) To cancel the Keep Warm process, press the START/STOP button for 3 seconds until a buzzer sound is given and then “Keep Warm” closes down.
- TIP: Removing bread immediately after baking cycle is complete will prevent crust from becoming darker.
Flour
- 1) All-Purpose Flour
- Flour that contains no baking powder, suitable for “quick” breads or bread made with the Quick settings. Bread flour is better suited for yeast breads.
- 2) Bread Flour
- Bread flour is the most important ingredient of making bread and is recommended in most yeast-bread recipes. It has a high gluten content and can keep the size of the 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
- 3) Self-Rising Flour
- Flour that contains baking powder, used especially for making cakes. Do not use self-rising flour in combination with yeast.
- 4) 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.
Yeast
- Yeast is a living organism and should be kept in the 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), active-dry yeast, and instant yeast. Before using, check the expiration date of the yeast. Return to refrigerator immediately after each use
CLEANING & CARE
- Regular maintenance of your appliance will keep it safe and in proper operational order. Before cleaning always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.Wash removable parts in warm, soapy water then rinse and dry all parts. Allow the bread maker and all accessories to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Housing and Lid
- Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing and the LCD screen with a soft, damp cloth. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the outer surface or LCD screen, before cleaning. Do not use a dry paper towel or cloth to clean the LCD screen, or use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad to clean any part of the bread maker as these will scratch the surface.
- If over-spills such as flour, nuts, raisins etc occur in the interior baking chamber, carefully remove them using a soft, damp cloth. Use extreme caution when cleaning theheating elements. Ensure the bread maker is completely cool then gently rub a soft, damp sponge or cloth along the length of the heating element. Do not use any type of cleanser or cleaning agent.
- Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet.
Baking pan, Kneading paddle, Measuring Spoon and Measuring Cup
- Wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly, or clean in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use. If you have trouble removing the kneading paddle from the bread pan, soak in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes – this will loosen the blade.

TROUBLESHOOTING
- If you experience difficulties when operating the bread maker, review the troubleshooting information in this section to find a solution. If you are unable to find a solution, please feel free to contact KBS Customer Service E-mail: byran@jmkbs.com for additional help.
Ingredients
Can other bread recipes be made in this machine?
- Results may vary when using other recipes as the recipes in this booklet are sized so that the dough is kneaded properly and the finished bread does not exceed the bread pan capacity. Use only recipes with similar quantities of ingredients. As a general guide, a minimum 2 cups and maximum 4.5 cups of total dry ingredients is recommended on the bread settings. On the jam setting, as a general guide, a maximum 3 cups of fruit should be used.
Can other sweetening agents be used in place of sugar?
- Yes, honey, golden syrup or brown sugar can be used. When substituting honey or similar sweet liquids for sugar, ensure to decrease the same measurement of liquid to equal the liquid sugar substitute. We do not recommend powdered or liquid artificial sweeteners.
Can butter or margarine be used in place of oil?
- Yes, but the bread crumb may appear a more creamy, yellow color.
Can salt be omitted?
- Salt plays a very important part in bread making. Omitting it will decrease water retention in the dough, as well as affect mixing, the strength of the gluten development and the fermentation of the yeast. In the finished bread, salt improves the loaf shape, crumb structure and crust color, as well as extending shelf life and enhancing flavor.
Why is there smoke coming out of the bread maker?
- It is normal that the bread maker emit a fine smoke during first use as it burns off the protective substances on the heating element. It is also normal that steam emit from the steam vents.
- However, smoke can also be caused by spilt ingredients on the outside of the bread pan and inside the baking chamber. Without turning off the bread maker, remove the plug from the power outlet. With a soft damp cloth (non-metallic, non-abrasive), clean then thoroughly dry the outside of the bread pan, baking chamber and heating element, using caution as they will be hot. Reinsert the power plug. The Power Failure Protection will automatically resume the cycle where it was interrupted.

KBS MBF-010 Bread Maker-FAQs
What settings do you use on a bread machine?
1. Basic: Use this setting for most types of bread.
2. French: For lighter breads with a crispy exterior.
3. Gluten-Free: Best for breads made with gluten-free flours to ensure the right texture.
How long is the bake cycle on a Zojirushi bread machine?
The baking time on a Zojirushi bread machine ranges from 10 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes (70 minutes). Some models, like the Virtuoso, can go up to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
How much water do you put in a bread maker?
Add 270ml of tepid water to the bread machine, along with the other ingredients, following the recipe.
Do you mix ingredients before putting in the bread machine?
No, you should add the wet ingredients first, followed by the dry ingredients, with the yeast being added last. This ensures the proper mixing and kneading.
What temperature should the water be in a Zojirushi bread maker?
The ideal water temperature is around 68°F/20°C. You may need to adjust the water temperature based on the season or room temperature.
Why does my bread maker say “rest”?
The rest period allows the bread pan and ingredients to warm up to the correct temperature, especially if the ingredients were stored in a cold place. After resting, the machine will start kneading.
Can I use milk instead of water in a bread machine?
Yes, you can substitute milk for water in recipes. Experiment with different substitutions to personalize your bread, such as using maple syrup instead of honey.
What is the best flour for bread machines?
Use flour with high protein content, such as King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, which works well in bread machines due to its high gluten.
Do I activate yeast before putting it in the bread maker?
Yes, it is best to proof active dry yeast before use. Dissolve it in warm water with some sugar to activate it before adding it to the bread machine for optimal results.
Which mixing method is best for bread?
The Straight Dough Method is ideal for most bread recipes, especially when making refrigerator dough. Knead and let it rise before refrigerating overnight, then shape and bake the next day.
