USING THE BREADMAN

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

With your new Breadman®Cool Touch Automatic Bread Baker:

• 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 recipes included with your Breadman®Cool Touch Automatic Bread Baker for lots of tasty options.

• There are also many bread machine cookbooks available at bookstores nationwide.

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

• Use the Dough Mode to do the mixing and kneading for you, then shape, proof and bake it in the Breadman®Cool Touch Automatic Bread Baker, or in a conventional oven.

• You can make Quick Breads™, jam and pasta dough too!

• Insert the Bread Pan into the Oven Chamber. Press down until it locks into place.

• Remember to attach your Kneading Paddle FIRST, then add the ingredients BEFORE inserting the Bread Pan into the Oven Chamber.

• When you remove the Bread Pan after Baking, BE SURE TO WEAR OVEN MITTS to prevent burning. Hold the Handle and lift the Bread Pan up and out of the Bread Baker.

• Remove the loaf by turning the Bread Pan upside down and shaking gently, then check to see that the Kneading Paddle is removed from the loaf. If it is stuck in your bread, use a non-metal utensil to gently remove it, taking care not to scratch the Kneading Paddle.

Inserting and Removing the Bread Pan

USING THE BREADMAN®(CONTINUED)

• Use oven mitts when working with bread or any part of the Breadman®that is hot from baking.

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

• Unplug the Breadman®Cool Touch Automatic Bread Baker when you are not using it.

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

• Do not touch the Viewing Window during use. The Viewing Window gets very hot.

• Don’t open the Lid during Baking. This causes baked products to bake improperly.

• Don’t unplug the Breadman®during Kneading or Baking. This will stop the operation.

• Your Breadman®features Instant Recall™Power Failure Back-Up. If the electricity in your home goes out, the Breadman®Cool Touch Automatic Bread Baker’s memory stores the active program for up to 15 minutes.

NOTE: Power Failure Back-Up does not cover surges.

If you experience frequent surges, please use a surge protector.

• If your power is out for longer than 60 minutes, and if you are using any dairy products, perishables or meats in your bread, for health, sanitary and other considerations, you should discard the contents of the recipe and start again with new fresh ingredients.

Operating Tips

Caution

Power Failure Back-Up

USING THE BREADMAN®(CONTINUED)

KNEADING AND BAKING CYCLES

Bread Baking Time Modes

Your new Bread Baker has three baking time modes – Basic, Rapid and Fast Bake™.

• Choose Basic mode for bread in less than 3 hours. Basic mode uses the least amount of yeast.

• Use this mode for bread in less than 2 hours using specially developed recipes. Rapid mode uses Quick•Rise™yeast.

• Select Fast Bake™mode for bread in less than 1 hour using specially developed recipes. Fast Bake™mode uses Quick•Rise™yeast.

Your new Bread Baker has four types of bread menus — 1 White, 2 Sweet, 3 French, 4 Wheat. You can choose to make two different types of bread at once (within the same baking time mode), the same type of bread in both Bread Pans or only one loaf of bread at a time.

• The White setting is used for breads that primarily use white flour, but some recipes may include small amounts of whole wheat flour. This setting has the minimum number of rising cycles and the shortest overall time until baking is completed.

• Use this setting for recipes that use additional sugar or added sweet ingredients such as raisins or dried fruit. Baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning and a longer rise cycle gives the loaves a light, airy texture.

• Traditionally, French bread has a crispier crust and lighter texture than basic breads. Recipes usually do not include butter, margarine or milk.

• The Wheat setting is used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats or bran. The setting has a longer rise cycle to allow heavy wheat and grains to expand. Generally, whole wheat and multi-grain breads are shorter and denser than basic, French or sweet breads.

Dough Modes

These settings only make dough and will not bake bread. Choose from four dough menus or settings: Pasta, Dough, Pizza and Bagel. Remove the dough and shape it to make pasta, pizza, rolls, pretzels or braided breads. Then bake in a conventional oven or prepare pasta as directed. Your machine is preprogrammed to run the same or different types of dough settings at the same time. For example, you can make pasta dough in one pan while making bagel dough in the other.

• Use this setting to mix ingredients for pasta. Roll out dough, cut, then boil in water.

• The traditional dough setting is used to mix and rise dough for dinner and cinnamon rolls.

• The pizza setting is used for mixing and rising pizza crust.

• Use this longer setting to make dough for bagels.

Special Modes

These settings can be used to make non-yeast products such as jams, quick breads, cakes and other baked goods. Your machine is preprogrammed to run only one type of specialty setting at a time.

• Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits. Do not double recipes or allow ingredients to boil over into the Baking Chamber. Should this happen, stop the machine immediately. Allow to cool and clean thoroughly.

• This setting is used to mix and then bake recipes that contain baking powder or baking soda, rather than yeast, to make quick breads.

• This setting will mix ingredients and then bake recipes that contain baking powder or baking soda, rather than yeast, to make cakes.

• This setting will bake only for 1 hour and is especially helpful if your bread, quick bread or cake is not quite done. Check every few minutes.

MAKING DOUGH AND BAKING BREAD

When a bread setting or combination is selected, your new Bread Baker will automatically combine the ingredients, knead and make bread from start to finish. To delay completion, the automatic Timer may be programmed to make bread while you are at work or asleep. See Using The Delay Bake Timer, page 18.

The recipes included with this booklet have been thoroughly tested to ensure best results. Recipes have been created by home economists specifically for this Bread Baker and may not produce acceptable results in other similar bread makers.

For All Bread Settings, Follow These Instructions:

Open the Lid and remove the Bread Pans by pulling straight up. It is important to remove

the Bread Pans from the unit before putting ingredients into the pans. This will prevent accidentally spilling ingredients into the Baking Chambers.

Attach the Kneading Blades onto the Drive Shafts inside the Bread Pans by lining up the flat side of the blade with the flat side on the shaft. Push the

blade firmly onto the shaft. Be sure to set the Kneading Blade firmly in place to prevent blade from coming off during operation, which may affect the kneading or mixing. Be sure the Drive Shaft is clean of any residue (i.e. dough). This will ensure the Kneading Blade will fully seat into place and will prevent blade from sticking to the shaft.

STEP 2STEP 1

13.

When following the recipes, measure ingredients carefully and accurately. To measure

liquids, use a see-through liquid measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level. When measuring dry ingredients, use a standard dry measuring cup and level the ingredients with a straight-edge knife. Slightly inaccurate measurement can make a difference in results. Use standard measuring spoons and level off with a straight-edge knife. See Measuring Your Ingredients, page 25.

Always add ingredients to the Bread Pan in the order listed and always add yeast last. Be

sure the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients. Be careful not to mix the yeast with any wet ingredients, especially when using the Timer feature. Otherwise, bread may not rise properly.

BREAD TIP: After 5 minutes of kneading,

open the Lid of the Bread Baker and check the dough consistency. The dough should form a soft, tacky ball. If too dry, add liquid (1-3 teaspoons at a time). If too wet, add flour (1-2 tablespoons at a time).

Place the Bread Pans back into the Baking Chamber. Push down on each pan until you

hear it click firmly into place.

NOTE: If each Bread Pan is not installed

properly or firmly clicked into place, the Kneading Blade will not operate.

STEP 4STEP 3

14.

Close the Lid. Connect the plug to a 120 V ~ 60 Hz, AC-only outlet. You will hear a beep. The display will show the default settings of Basic mode bread, 1 White menu time (2:20) for both Left and Right Bread Pans and Medium Crust Color. This indicates that both sides would bake using the basic white bread setting at the same time.

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other.) As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

The Bread Baker is preset for using both Bread Pans. Press LEFT/RIGHT button once to choose left side, press again to choose right side. Press third time to return to preset of both Bread Pans.

NOTE: If you choose to use only one side,

both Drive Shafts will turn, but only the side you have chosen to bake in will heat.

Press the Mode Select button to choose a different mode. There are three bread making

choices: Basic, Rapid and Fast Bake™. The other two MODES are Dough and Special. When you press the button, you will hear a beep, and an arrow in the display window will show the mode selected.

BREAD MODES:

Basic - Less than 3 hours. Rapid - Less than 2 hours. Fast Bake™ - Less than 1 hour

After the correct MODE is selected, press the MENU button to select the appropriate setting. Each time MENU is pressed, you will

hear a beep and the number in the Display Window will advance to the next cycle.

When selecting to bake bread in both pans, there are 10 preset combinations for the 4 different Bread Menu settings from which to choose. All of these preset combinations are available in the BASIC, RAPID or FAST BAKE™MODES.

Preset Bread Menu Combinations:

Left Right 11 12 1 3 1 White 1 4 2 Sweet 2 2 3 French 2 3 4 Wheat 24 33 34 44

The Breadman®Cool Touch Automatic Bread Baker can bake the same or two different MENU settings: White, Sweet, French or Whole Wheat at the same time. In order to bake two different MENU settings they must both be in the same bread MODE – Basic, Rapid or Fast Bake™. For example, you can make a Fast Bake™White and a Fast Bake

™

Sweet at the same time because they are both

from the Fast Bake™MODE. You cannot make

Basic White bread on one side and a Fast Bake™Sweet on the other side because they

are from different MODE settings.

When selecting to make dough in both pans, there are 8 preset combinations of the 4 different menu settings from which to choose.

Preset Dough Menu Combinations:

Left Right 11 1 2 1 Pasta 2 2 2 Dough 2 1 3 Pizza 3 3 4 Bagel 34 43 44

The Bread Baker can make Pasta and Dough or Pizza and Bagel dough at the same time. But you cannot make Pasta on one side and Pizza dough on the other.

When selecting to use a specialty setting, there are 4 preset menu settings:

Preset Special Menu Combinations:

Left Right 1 1 1 Jam 2 2 2 Quick Bread 3 3 3 Cake 4 4 4 Bake

When using the SPECIAL MODE, the same type of cooking is made on both sides. Two different flavors of a cake such as Carrot and Pound can be made at the same time, but the unit cannot make a Carrot Cake on one side and Jam on the other.

STEP 8

16.

The Bread Baker is preset for Medium crust color for both sides. Press the COLOR button

to chose a crust color. Light, Medium or Dark when baking bread. The indicator will underline the COLOR selected. When baking in both pans, there are 9 preset crust color combinations to choose from. Choose a crust color when using Basic and Rapid mode settings only.

Press the START/STOP button to begin.

The remaining time will count down in oneminute increments. When the baking time is completed, the Bread Baker will beep five times.

BREAD AND DOUGH TIP: After 5 min-

utes of kneading, open the lid of the Bread Baker and check dough consistency. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the pan to mix in all of the ingredients. The dough should form a soft, tacky ball. If too dry, add liquid (1-3 teaspoons at a time). If too wet, add flour (

1/2

to 1 tablespoon at a time).

JAM, QUICK BREAD AND CAKE TIP:

After 5 minutes of mixing, open the lid of the Bread Baker and carefully use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the pan to mix in all of the ingredients.

The Bread Baker is designed with a Keep Warm feature that automatically begins when the bake time is completed. This will continue

for up to 60 minutes after baking is complete. During this time, the Bread Baker will circulate hot air to keep the bread warm. You may remove the Bread Pan(s) at any time during the Keep Warm cycle. To turn off the Keep Warm feature before the 60 minutes are up, simply press the START/STOP button and hold it until you hear a beep. UNPLUG THE UNIT WHEN FlNISHED. Never leave the unit plugged in when not in use.

NOTE: The Keep Warm feature does not

function on some cycles. See Bread Baker Cycle Times, page 21.

The Bread Baker has convenient viewing windows so that you may watch the progress of the bread as it is mixed, kneaded, and baked. Occasionally, some moisture may form

in the window during baking. You may lift the lid to look inside during mixing and kneading stages. However, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING CYCLE, (approximately the last hour) as this may cause the bread to collapse.

WARNING: To avoid damaging the Bread

Baker, do not put any objects on top of the unit.

STEP 11

STEP 10

STEP 9

17.

To remove Bread Pans from the machine, use pot holders or oven mitts and pull straight up on the Pan Handles. Turn the pan upside

down and shake the bread out onto a wire cooling rack. The Bread Pans have a non-stick finish so the bread should come out easily. Do not use metal utensils to remove bread as they may scratch the non-stick surface.

If you have difficulty removing bread from the Bread Pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the pan over and shake the loaf out. Allow the bread to cool 20-30 minutes before slicing. See Slicing and Storing Bread, page 18.

If the Kneading Blade remains in the bottom of the Bread Pan, fill the Bread Pan with hot water to loosen. If the Kneading Blade remains in the bottom of the bread, use a crochet hook or the end of a mixer beater to remove. Do not use a knife or any other sharp metal object as it will scratch the non-stick coating.

NOTE: Always check to see where the

Kneading Blade is when removing a baked loaf of bread. Make sure Kneading Blade is removed from the loaf before slicing the bread.

IMPORTANT: Place warm water in pan

immediately after removing bread to prevent Kneading Blade from sticking to the shaft.

If the temperature in the Baking Chamber is higher than 122˚ F/50˚C, the DISPLAY WINDOW will show “E01”. If the tempera-

ture is lower than 14˚F/-10˚C, the DISPLAY WINDOW will show “E00”. When either of these error messages are displayed, the Bread Baker will not function until it has cooled down or warmed up.

USING THE DELAY BAKE TIMER

Use the Timer feature when you want to delay the completion of the bread. You can set all of the Basic and Rapid modes up to approximately 13 hours later.

To Set The Timer Follow These Instructions:

NOTE: First, follow steps l thru 9 in Making Dough and Bak-

ing Bread, pages 12-16. Do not use the Timer with recipes that call for perishable ingredients, such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream or cheese.

1. To set the Timer, decide when you want the bread to be finished. For example, it is now 7:30 p.m. and you want to wake up to two loaves of fresh-baked Sweet bread at 8 a.m., a total of l22 hours from now. Once the correct bread baking time mode and menu are selected for the recipe, simply set the Timer using the and buttons for the total program hours. For greater than 6 hours, use the button to arrive at your desired time quickly. For less than 6 hours, use the button.

2. You do not need to mathematically calculate the difference between the setting time and the total hours you want. The machine will automatically adjust to include the setting time.

3. Once you have set the time, press START. The colon (:) in the display will flash to indicate that the Timer has been set, and the countdown will begin. The Timer will count down in one-minute increments. When the display reaches 0:00, your bread is complete and the beeper will sound.

SLICING AND STORING BREAD

For best results, place the bread on a wire rack and allow to cool 20-30 minutes before slicing. Use an electric knife or a serrated knife for even slices. For rectangular slices, place the loaf on its side and slice across.

Store unused bread tightly covered, (sealable plastic bags or plastic containers work well) at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, (up to one month) place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer. Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially-made bread.

Leftover or slightly hardened bread may be cut into 2-inch or l-inch cubes and used in recipes to make croutons, bread pudding or stuffing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Specific questions about the Bread Baker functions and problems with ingredients or recipes are addressed in the Troubleshooting section on pages 72-75. For better performance, allow the unit to cool completely before beginning to bake a second loaf of bread. You can speed cooling by opening the lid and removing the Bread Pans.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Contact a qualified appliance repair technician if the product requires servicing.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, unplug the unit before cleaning. Allow the

Bread Baker to cool before cleaning. Do not immerse or splash either the Baking Chamber or Lid in any liquid as this may cause damage and/or electric shock.

For best performance and maintenance, clean the Bread Baker after each use as follows:

Lids and Baking Chambers

Wipe the Lids and outside of the unit with a damp cloth or slightly damp sponge. Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe out any flour, crumbs or other materials from the Baking Chambers. Dry thoroughly.

Bread Pans and Kneading Blades

The Bread Pans and Kneading Blades have non-stick surfaces. Do not use any harsh cleansers, abrasive materials or utensils that may scratch the surfaces. Over time, the non-stick surface may change in appearance due to moisture and steam. This is normal and has no effect on its use or quality.

Remove the Bread Pans and Kneading Blades from the Baking Chambers before cleaning. Wipe the outside of each Bread Pan with a damp cloth. NEVER IMMERSE THE BREAD PANS in water or other liquid. Wash the inside of the Bread Pan with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. If the Kneading Blade gets stuck, fill the Bread Pan with hot water and soak for 30 minutes or until it loosens and can be removed easily. If the hole in the Kneading Blade becomes clogged, carefully clean it out with a wooden or plastic toothpick. Use care to prevent the toothpick from scratching the blade surface or getting stuck in blade.

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS

It has been said that cooking is an art that relies on the creativity of the chef. Baking bread is much more of a science, since the process of combining flour, water and yeast results in a chemical reaction that produces bread. You must remember that when the ingredients combine with each other, they produce a specific result. Read the following information carefully to gain a better understanding of the importance each ingredient plays in the breadmaking process. There are several Bread Baker recipe books available that may use these ingredients.

All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour is a blend of refined hard and soft wheat flours ideally suited for making quick breads and cakes. The most popular brands of flour have been tested for quick bread and cakes in the Breadman®Cool Touch Automatic Bread Baker by Salton with excellent results.

Bran: Bran (unprocessed) is the coarse outer portion of the wheat or rye grains that is separated from flour by sifting or bolting. They are often added to bread in small quantities for nutritional enrichment, heartiness and flavor. They are also used to enhance bread texture.

Bread Flour: Bread flour is a high gluten/protein flour that typically has a higher gluten concentration than all-purpose flour. Using bread flour with the Bread Baker will produce loaves with better volume and structure.

Corn meal and Oatmeal: Corn meal and oatmeal come from coarsely ground white or yellow corn and from rolled or steel-cut oats. They are used primarily to enhance the flavor and texture of the bread.

Cracked Wheat: Cracked wheat has a very coarse texture. It comes from wheat kernels cut into angular fragments. It gives whole grain breads a nutty flavor and crunchy texture.

Rye Flour: Rye flour must always be mixed with a high proportion of bread flour, as it does not contain enough gluten to develop the structure for a high, even-grained loaf.

Self-Rising Flour: Self-rising flour contains leavening ingredients that will interfere with bread and cake making. It is not recommended for use with your Bread Baker.

Seven Grain Cereal Blend: Seven grain cereal blend is a blend of cracked wheat, oats, bran, rye, cornmeal, flax seeds and hulled millet.

Vital Wheat Gluten: Gluten manufactured from wheat flour that has been treated to remove nearly all of the starch, which leaves a very high protein content. (Gluten is the protein in the wheat that makes the dough elastic.) Gluten is available at most health food stores and in the baking aisle in many markets. It is sometimes used in small portions with dense, low-gluten flours (such as whole wheat) to increase volume and lighten texture.
