- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance during operation.
- To disconnect, turn the control to “OFF,” then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
- Avoid touching moving parts.
- Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
- Set breadpan on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective surface. Do not set hot breadpan directly on the counter, table or other surface.
- Do not put your hand inside the oven chamber after the bread pan is removed. The heating unit will still be hot.
- Do not use your breadmaker with a converter or transformer. This will destroy the electronic controls.
- Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. While the use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Accessory parts may be contained within the packaging material. Remove the plastic film from the display before use. Always clean your new appliance thoroughly before using; refer to the “Cleaning Your Automatic Breadmaker” section of this manual.
Before the first use, add a cup of water to the bread pan and place it in the baking chamber. Leaving the lid open, follow the basic instructions to run the breadmaker on the (12) “Bake” setting for one full cycle to burn off any residual manufacturing oils.
Get to know your new West Bend® Breadmaker. The control panel on your breadmaker was designed to be very easy to use. Please review the following features to better understand the control panel.
CONTROL PANEL and FUNCTIONS
LCD DISPLAY:
The display indicates when the appliance is ready for use. When the appliance is first plugged in, there will be an audible beep, and the default program will be displayed. “1 3:05” appears on the display. The “1” specifies which program is selected (1-12 programs), and the “3:05” is the length of the program in hour: minutes. The position of the arrow at the top of the display indicates the weight of the loaf selected (3, 2.5, or 2 lb) with 2.5 lb as the default. The position of the arrow at the bottom of the display indicates the degree of browning that is selected (light, medium, or dark), with medium as the default. As the program proceeds, the digits of the time displayed will decrease progressively, indicating the remaining time. During operation, the status of the program is indicated in the display with a mark in the active program mode.
“START/STOP” Button:
The “START/STOP” button is used to start, pause, or cancel a program. A short alert is heard with each press of the “START/STOP” button. Press this button when the Breadmaker is idle to start the program. When the breadmaker is active, press the button once to pause the program or press and hold to cancel the program. If you do cancel the program, the breadmaker will return to its default settings for the chosen menu selection. All customized settings will be lost if the program is cancelled. You must set all desired program settings before starting the program. The program cannot be changed after the cycle has begun unless you cancel the cycle.
“COLOR” Button:
“COLOR” cycles to select the crust darkness: LIGHT, MEDIUM, and DARK. The default color is MEDIUM.
“TIMER” Buttons:
The “+” and “-” buttons are used to set a delayed program end time. All settings, except (10) “Cake,” can be used with the delay timer. The hours and minutes will be added to the preprogrammed times for the specific program. The time indicated in the display is the time until the end of the cycle. The maximum time delay is 13 hours per program. Note: When the delay start time has been selected, press the “START/STOP” button. As time counts down, the “: ” will blink to indicate that it is working. Setting (10) Cake cannot be used with a delayed start.
DELAY START:
The maximum time delay is 13 hours per program. Example: It is 8:30 p.m., and you would like the bread ready for the next morning at 7:00 a.m. Determine the time difference. 7:00 a.m. is 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of 8:30 p.m. Press the “+” or “-” buttons until 10:30 appears in the display.
NEVER use the time delay function when using perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs, fruit, yogurt, etc.!
“LOAF / PROCESS” Button:
The “LOAF” button adjusts the various programs for the selected loaf size: 3 lb, 2.5 lb, or 2 lb. This button is only applicable for the following programs: “Basic,” “French,” “Whole wheat,” “Sweet,” “Super rapid,” “Sandwich,” “Gluten free,” and “Cake.”
“MENU” Button:
Use the “MENU” button to select the desired program. In general, use the following suggested programs for the following specialties.
MENU SELECTIONS
Menu 1: “Basic” for white, rye, potato, egg, garlic, and similar breads. The “Basic” setting can be used for almost any bread recipe containing mostly bread flour.
Menu 2: “French” for the preparation of particularly light white and Italian breads. This is not suitable for baking recipes requiring butter, margarine, or milk.
Menu 3: “Whole Wheat” for breads containing 50% or more whole wheat, cracked wheat, buttermilk wheat, and like breads.
Menu 4: “Sweet” for preparing breads with raisins, cinnamon, apricots, and similar ingredients.
Menu 5: “Super Rapid” for preparing loaves in under 2 hours.
Menu 6: “Sandwich” for baking lightly textured bread with a thinner crust, perfect for at-home sandwiches.
Menu 7: “Gluten Free” for gluten-free recipes. Additional bake time on setting 12 may be necessary when baking some gluten-free breads. Always check gluten free bread’s internal temperature with a thermometer to check doneness.
Menu 8: “Mix” for the preparation of doughs without yeast with no baking.
Menu 9: “Dough” for the preparation of dough with no baking.
Menu 10: “Cake” mix and bake; designed for use with boxed cake mixes and quick breads. Additional bake time on setting (12). Baking may be necessary when baking some cakes or quick breads.
Menu 11: “Custom” This program is for the baker who is very familiar with baking in a bread machine. This program allows for complete personalization of making bread. The time of each cycle- knead, rise, bake, and keep warm- can be customized. The settable time range of each program is as follows:
Menu 12: “Bake” for baking and browning of breads, cakes, or even casseroles. This setting is perfect for additional baking of breads that are too light or have not baked completely through. Bake time can be set in 10-minute increments, up to 1 hour. Press “LOAF / PROCESS,” then press the “+” or “-“ buttons to increase or decrease bake time, then “START/STOP” to begin the cycle. In this program, there are no kneading or rest cycles.
ALERTS, SOUNDS, and OTHER GENERAL FUNCTIONS
Alert:
The alert sounds:
- At the pressing of any button that allows function selection. If the button doesn’t beep, that function choice is not available.
- An alert of ten beeps may sound during the second kneading cycle of some settings to signal that the cereals, fruits, nuts or other ingredients can be added.
- When the end of the program is reached.
- During the warming phase at the end of the baking procedure, the alert sounds several times.
Power Interruption: If there is a brief power interruption of less than ten minutes, the program position is stored in the memory, and the machine will resume when the power is restored.
Over-temp Error: If the display shows “H: HH” after the program has been started, it means that the temperature inside of the bread pan is too high. You should stop the program and unplug the power cord immediately. Open the lid and let the machine cool down completely before using it again.
- A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
- Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.
CLEANING YOUR BREADMAKER
- Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
- After the bread is removed from the bread pan and the pan has cooled, fill it half-full with warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Allow the bread pan to soak for 5 to 20 minutes or until the knead blades can be lifted off of the shafts. You may need to twist the knead blades slightly to loosen. If the knead blades are difficult to remove after soaking, secure the cross bar on the underside of the bread pan while twisting the knead blades to loosen. Wash the inside of the bread pan and knead the lades with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry. Use a mild detergent. Never use chemical cleaning agents, oven cleaners, abrasive scouring pads, or cleansers on the bread pan or knead blades, as damage to the coating or finish can occur. Replace the knead blades on the shaft.
- Never immerse the bread pan in water or wash it in an automatic dishwasher, as damage to the bearing that turns the knead blade can occur. Wipe the inside of the oven chamber and the outside surfaces of the breadmaker with a damp cloth if necessary. Never dip the appliance in water or fill the baking compartment with water! The lid cannot be removed for cleaning.
NOTE: The coating on the inside of the bread pan may change color over time; this is normal and does not affect the bread.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Review the following Problems, Possible Causes, and Solutions below.
GLUTEN-FREE TROUBLESHOOTING
Gluten-free breadmaking can be tricky. To prevent baking a dense brick of bread rather than a fluffy loaf, use these helpful tips.
- Use room-temperature ingredients, including eggs.
- Reverse the normal order of adding ingredients. Start with the yeast and dry ingredients, add half the wet ingredients, and then start the cycle. Allow the ingredients to mix for several minutes, and gradually add the remaining wet ingredients.
- Observe the dough during the knead cycle. If the breadmaker has difficulty mixing ingredients thoroughly, use a spatula to scrape around the pan to assist.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to take the temperature of your bread before you remove it from the bread pan. If internal temperature has not reached 205-210°F, your loaf will be underdone. Bake on the bake cycle for additional time until internal temperature is between 205-210°F.
LOAF SIZE & SHAPE
Short loaves
- Wheat bread will be shorter than white bread due to less gluten forming protein in whole-wheat flour.
- Not enough liquid – Increase liquid by 1-2 teaspoons.
- Sugar omitted or not enough added – Assemble ingredients as listed in the recipe.
- Wrong type of flour used – Do not use all-purpose flour.
- Not enough yeast used or too old – Measure the amount recommended and check the freshness date on the package.
- Wrong type of yeast used – Use fast-rising or bread machine yeast. Do not use compressed yeast.
Flat loaves, no rising
- Yeast omitted – Assemble ingredients as listed in the recipe.
- Yeast too old – Check expiration date.
- The liquid is too hot – Use lukewarm liquids 80-90°F (27-32°C).
- Too much salt added – Use the amount recommended in the recipe.
- Sugar or other sweetener omitted – Assemble ingredients as listed in the recipe.
Top and sides cave in
- Too much liquid – Reduce liquid by 1-2 teaspoons.
- Too much yeast – Use the recommended amount.
MACHINE MECHANICS
Ingredients not mixed
- Did not start machine – After programming the control panel, press the “START/STOP” button to turn on.
Forgot to put the knead blade in the bread pan. Always make sure the knead blade is on the shaft at the bottom of the bread pan before adding ingredients.
A burning odor was noted during operation
- Ingredients spilled inside oven – Be careful not to spill ingredients when adding to the bread pan as they will burn on the heating unit and cause smoke.
- Bread pan leaks – Replacement bread pan may be ordered. See the Warranty section.
- Exceeding capacity of bread pan – Do not use more ingredients than recommended in the recipe and always measure accurately.
Machine unplugged by mistake or power lost during use for longer than 5 minutes. How can I save the bread?
- If the machine is in knead cycle, reprogram it to the same bread setting and turn the machine back on.
- If the machine is in the rise or bake cycle, preheat the conventional oven to 350°F (177°C). Carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and bake on a rack in the center of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
