USING THE BREADMAN®AUTOMATIC BREAD BAKER

Before using the Breadman®for the first time, carefully read all of the instructions included in this manual.

With your new Breadman®:

•You can use commonly available pre-packaged bread mixes. Follow the instructions on the package.

•You can bake a loaf of bread from scratch. See the Recipe and Menu Planner included with your Breadman for lots of tasty options.

•You can make dough for rolls or shaped loaves you'll bake in your own oven.

Use the Breadman®’s Dough Cycle to do the mixing and kneading for you , then shape, proof, and bake the bread yourself in a conventional oven.

Inserting and Removing the Bread Pan

Operating Tips

•To insert the Bread Pan into the Oven Chamber, seat it in place and press down until it locks into place.

*Remember to attach your Kneading Paddle FIRST, then add

the ingredients.

• To remove the Bread Pan: Gently but firmly grab the Handle and pull straight up out of the Oven Chamber.

AFTER BAKING MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS WEAR OVEN MITTS TO AVOID BEING BURNED.

•Use oven mitts when working with bread or any part of the Breadman

that is hot from baking.

•Wipe off crumbs and clean as needed, after baking.

•Unplug the Breadman

when you are not using it.

• It is normal for the viewing window to collect moisture during the Rise Cycle. As your bread bakes, the moisture soon will evaporate so you can watch your bread's baking progress.

• Don't open the Lid during Kneading or Baking. This causes the bread to bake improperly.

• Don't unplug the Breadman®during Kneading or Baking. This will stop the operation and you will have to start all over again, with new ingredients.

USING THE BREADMAN

(continued)

Caution

•To protect young children, keep the Breadman®out of their reach when there is no supervision; especially during the Kneading and Baking Cycles.

•Use the Breadman®on a flat, hard surface. Do not place it near a flame or heat, or on a soft surface (such as a carpet). Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use. Dropping the Breadman®could cause it to malfunction.

•To avoid burns, stay clear of the Steam Vent during Kneading and Baking Cycles. The Viewing Window can get quite hot as well.

•After baking, wait for the Breadman®to cool down before touching or cleaning the Bread Pan or internals of the machine.

•Never use metal utensils with the Breadman®. These can scratch the non-stick surface of the Bread Pan.

•Avoid electric shock by unplugging the Breadman®before using a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of the Oven.

•Never use the Bread Pan on a gas or electric cooktop or on an open flame.

•Avoid covering the Steam Vent during Kneading or Baking Cycles. This could cause the Breadman®to warp or discolor.

KNEADING AND BAKING CYCLES

The Breadman®Automatic Bread Baker has several Baking Cycles from which you can choose:

•The White: Light, Medium and Dark Cycles let you choose your favorite type of crust.

•The Fruit & Nut Cycle is for breads such as apple-walnut or raisin bread with higher sugar content.

•The Whole Wheat Cycle is designed specifically for breads that contain whole wheat flour.

•The French Cycle is designed for crispy French or European breads. The following table shows how long each part of every Cycle takes.

HOW TO MAKE BREAD OR DOUGH

Always use the freshest ingredients available. By carefully following the simple recipes that come with the Breadman®, you will be able to bake delicious bread every time.

STEP 1

Open the Lid and remove the Bread Pan.

Gently but firmly lift the Bread Pan straight out of the Oven Chamber.

STEP 2

Position the Kneading Paddle on the Drive Shaft as shown.

Match the flat side of the Drive Shaft to the flat part of the hole in the Kneading Paddle. Make sure the Paddle is secure.

STEP 3

Place the ingredients into the Bread Pan.

For best results, add all liquid ingredients first. Then, add all dry ingredients EXCEPT yeast.

ALWAYS ADD YEAST LAST.

Note: If your recipe contains salt, please add salt with liquid ingredients, keeping it away from the yeast.

A note on using the Deluxe Rapid Cycle: You must use Rapid Rise or Quick Rise Yeast.

STEP 4

Make a small indentation on top of the dry ingredients (not so deep it reaches the wet layer) and add the yeast to the indentation.

This order of adding ingredients is important, especially when using the Timer, because it keeps the yeast away from the liquid ingredients until it’s time to knead them together. (Liquid ingredients will activate the yeast.)

STEP 5

Insert the Bread Pan into the Oven Chamber.

Seat the Pan into place and gently but firmly press straight down until it locks into place.

Close the Lid and plug in the Breadman

When you plug it in, the Breadman

flashes 18:88 in the Display Window for three seconds after which the indicator light (

) will be positioned for

White Medium.

STEP 6

STEP 8

Press the SELECT Button to choose the Cycle you want.

As you press SELECT, the Indicator Light in the Display Window will move to indicate all of the Cycle options. It will move in this order:

White Medium White Dark White Light Whole Wheat Fruit & Nut Deluxe Rapid French Dough

If the SELECT Button is not pressed, and START is activated, the Breadman®will automatically bake a White Medium loaf.

STEP 7

Press the CAPACITY/LOAF SIZE Button to select which size loaf you would like to bake.

Every time this button is pressed the indicator light will move to a different setting. The selections are:

1.5 lb.

2.0 lb.

1.0 lb.

If you forget to choose and activate the loaf size, this Breadman

will

automatically bake a 1.5 lb. loaf.

Press START to begin your chosen Cycle.

First, the Breadman®will mix the ingredients. Then it begins the Kneading Process. During this process, the yeast begins to activate. The Breadman®will go through two Kneading Cycles with a rest period in between. After this process the bread dough will rise before baking.

If you plan on making bread with dried fruit or nuts in it, add these ingredients when the Breadman®beeps several times after the second Kneading Cycle. This will occur in all Cycles except for the Dough Cycle.

When baking bread , the machine will beep at the end of the Baking Cycle. If the bread is not taken out of the machine immediately, a 3-hour Keep Warm Function will begin*. However, for best results it is best to remove the finished loaf right away. Use oven mitts to

carefully remove the Baking Pan.

*Note: The Keep Warm Function will

not begin for the Dough Cycle.

STEP 9

STEP 10

When your bread is done, the Breadman®will beep. This indicates that the Baking phase is completed. Press the STOP Button, then put on your oven mitts and remove the Bread Pan.

Remember that the Bread Pan and your loaf are both very hot! Be careful not to place either on a tablecloth, plastic surface, or other surface that might scorch or melt.

For all Cycles except Dough:

If the bread is not removed immediately after baking and if the STOP Button is not pressed, a controlled Keep Warm Cycle will begin and the machine will automatically shut off after 3 hours. While this will help prevent the bread from becoming soggy, for best results, remove bread immediately after the Baking Cycle is complete.

Remove the loaf from the Bread Pan.

Turn over the Bread Pan a few inches from the countertop and gently shake out the loaf. It’s best to remove the loaf as soon as the machine is done baking.

Place the loaf on a wire rack or other ventilated cooling surface to cool. Bread should be cooled slightly (30 minutes) before it is sliced.

If necessary, remove the Kneading Paddle from the loaf.

Sometimes the Kneading Paddle will stick in a loaf of bread. If it does, use a nonmetal utensil to gently remove it, taking care not to scratch the Kneading Paddle.

When you are done using the Breadman®, be sure to unplug it.

USING THE TIMER

You can preset your Breadman

to cook bread from 4 hours to

13 hours in advance.

Note: Do not use the Delay Timer if your recipe includes eggs, fresh milk or other ingredients that may spoil.

To preset your Breadman®, follow these steps:

1. Add your ingredients as usual , taking care not to let the yeast and liquid ingredients contact one another.

2. Close the Breadman®Lid and plug it in.

3. Press the SELECT Button for the Baking Cycle you prefer as well as the CAPACITY/LOAF SIZE Button for the size loaf you wish to bake.

4. Press the TIMER SET Button once for each 10 minutes you want to add.

The amount of time set is shown in the Display Window.

Note: To fast forward time, continually press the

TIMER SET Button.

For example, if it is 8:00 PM and you want a loaf of bread ready at 7:00 AM, that is 11 hours from now, press the TIMER SET Button until 11:00 appears on the Display.

5. Press START Button to begin the Timer. The colon (: ) in the Display Window begins to flash, letting you know the Timer is started.

6. If you make an error after you have activated the Timer and want to start over, press STOP and you can begin again.

USING THE TIMER (continued)

For Best Results

•Take care to measure ingredients accurately, using a good set of measuring cups and spoons, or a good scale. Make sure to level all dry ingredients as you measure them. Inaccurate measuring could cause unexpected results in your loaf of bread.

•In particular, be precise in measuring the water.

•Use fresh ingredients.

•Since moisture is an enemy to flour, be sure to store

your flour in an airtight container.

•To keep your yeast active, store it in an airtight

container in your refrigerator.

• Speaking of fresh — when using the Timer, we recommend setting it for as short a time as possible. Because ingredients are partially combined in the Bread Pan, the dough may tend to deteriorate if left too many hours, especially on a warm or humid day.

•Keep the Lid closed during the Baking Cycle. Opening it causes uneven baking.

•After your bread has cooled completely, store it in a brown paper bag.
