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 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 Recipe

& Menu Planner included with your Breadman® Cool Touch 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 Cycle to do the mixing and kneading for you, then shape, proof, and bake it in the Breadman® Cool Touch Oven, or in a conventional oven.

•You can make cakes, jam, and pasta dough too!

•You can activate PAUSE, remove the dough for shaping, filling, braiding and more.

•You can activate PAUSE to score the top of your loaf for a rustic style bread or make a decorative crust with rolled oats, poppy seeds, etc.

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

USING THE BREADMAN® (CONTINUED)

Operating Tips

Caution

Power Failure

Back-Up

•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 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.

•You have Instant Recall™ Power Failure Back-Up. If the electricity in your home goes out, the Breadman® Cool Touch 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.

USING THE BREADMAN® (CONTINUED)

CAUTION

•To protect young children, keep the Breadman® out of their reach when you’re not there to supervise — especially during the Kneading and Baking Cycles.

•Use the Breadman® on a flat, hard surface. Don’t 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. Also, do not touch the Viewing Window — it gets very hot.

•ALWAYS HANDLE THE HOT BREAD PAN OR BAKING RACK WITH A POT HOLDER OR OVEN MITT. After baking, wait for the Breadman® to cool down before touching or cleaning the Bread Pan, Baking Rack, or internals of the Breadman® without oven mitts.

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

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

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

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

•Always make sure the Kneading Paddle is removed from the bread prior to slicing.

KNEADING AND BAKING CYCLES

Fruit & Nut

Add-In Beeper

60 Minute

Keep Warm

•The Crust Control feature lets you choose Light, Medium or Dark crusts for most bread varieties, including Basic, French, Sweet, and Wholewheat.

•The French Cycle is for breads with crisper crusts, especially those that are lowest in fats, such as French and Italian breads.

•Make delicious non-yeast cakes.

•59 Minute Start-to-Finish Super Rapid Bread.

•The Basic Rapid and the Wholewheat Rapid Cycles are faster than the Basic Cycles and produce a more developed flavor than the Super Rapid Cycle.

•The Jam Cycle makes your favorite jams.

•2 Dough-Only Cycles: Dough and Pasta Dough.

•Bake Only is used to bake filled, rolled or specialty loaves from previously frozen dough.

•13 Hour Delay Bake Timer.

•The Fruit & Nut Add-In Beeper will sound at the end

of the second Kneading Cycle in the Basic: Light, Medium and Dark, Sweet Cycles, as well as the Wholewheat and French Cycles.

•If bread is not removed immediately after baking and the STOP Button is not pressed, a controlled 60 minute Keep Warm function will begin for each selection (except Dough). This will help reduce condensation between loaf and Bread Pan, it is best to remove bread as soon as possible after completion of the baking phase.

MAKING DOUGH AND BAKING BREAD

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		STEP 4

Open the Lid and remove the

Bread Pan.

Lift the Bread Pan straight up and out of the machine.

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. Salt may activate the yeast prematurely.

*For Cake, Jam and Dough Cycles, the order of ingredients is not important.

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 Delay Bake Timer, because it keeps the yeast away from the wet ingredients until the kneading process begins. (Liquid ingredients will prematurely activate the yeast.)

STEP 5

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

Close the Lid and plug in the Breadman®.

“0:00” will appear in the Display Window.

9

STEP 6

Press the SELECT Button to choose the Cycle you want.

Each time the SELECT Button is pressed, it will beep and the number next to the Cycle on the Control Panel will correspond to the number in the

Display Window.

For instance, to choose the Basic Rapid Cycle, press the SELECT Button twice. The Display Window will read “2b” — the number of the Cycle chosen.

Remember, the Super Rapid Cycle (7) produces a loaf of bread in 59 minutes — and, the Basic Rapid Cycles (2 and 4) are faster than the Basic Cycles (1, 3, 5, 6).

STEP 7

Press the CRUST CONTROL Button to select what color you would like your crust to be when the loaf is finished baking. “A,” (Light) “b, ” (Medium) or “C” (Dark) will appear in the Display Window

NOTE: CRUST CONTROL cannot be activated for the following Cycles:

7.Super Rapid

8.Jam

9.Cake

10.Dough

11.Pasta Dough

12.Bake Only

1.Basic

2.Basic Rapid

3.Wholewheat

4.Wholewheat Rapid

5.French

6.Sweet

7.Super Rapid

8.Jam

9.Cake

10.Dough

11.Pasta Dough

12.Bake Only

STEP 8

Press LOAF SIZE Button for the size you prefer. Each time this Button is pressed, the Indicator Light will appear next to either the 2.0 lb., 1.5 lb. or 1.0 lb., at the right side of the Display Window to verify which size is selected. If this Button is not pressed, the Bread Baker will automatically choose 2.0 lb. loaf size.

NOTE: When using the Dough, Cake or Jam Cycles, steps 7 and 8 are not needed.

NOTE: The Basic or Rapid setting is available only for Basic, French, Sweet or Wholewheat settings.

IMPORTANT: If the SELECT Button is not pressed, and START is activated, the Breadman® Auto Default Screen will appear and the unit will reset to auto default programming of:

Auto Default

Screen

10

STEP 9

Press START/PAUSE Button to begin the Kneading Cycle.

The time remaining will begin to count down in the Display Window. The Breadman® will begin mixing the ingredients for a minute. Then, it will begin the kneading process. During this process, the yeast will activate and normally the Viewing Window may begin to fog. (This will clear eventually so you can view the loaf’s progress).

For the Basic, French, Sweet and Wholewheat Cycles, the Breadman® will beep 3 times, before the end of the Kneading Cycle, at which time you may add any fruits or nuts, herbs, meat, garlic, etc.

NOTE: The Add-In Beeper will not sound during the Super Rapid, Jam, Cake, or Bake Only Cycles.

STEP 10

When your bread is finished baking the Breadman® will beep 3 times and “0:00” will appear in the Display Window. Press the STOP Button and open the Lid.

Put on oven mitts and remove the Bread Pan very carefully as it will be very hot.

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 heat-sensitive surface which may scorch or melt.

If the bread is not removed immediately after baking and if the STOP Button is not pressed, the Keep Warm controlled temperature reduction will begin and then the machine will automatically shut off after 60 minutes. While this will help prevent the bread from becoming soggy, for best results, remove bread immediately after the baking cycle is complete. By pressing the STOP Button, the screen will go back to the Select mode.

NOTE: Keep Warm does not apply to the following Cycles:

8.Jam

9.Cake

10.Dough

11.Pasta Dough

12.Bake Only

11

STEP 11

Wearing oven mitts, remove the loaf from the

Bread Pan onto an aerated cooling rack.

Invert the Bread Pan a few inches above the countertop and cooling rack, and gently shake. Your loaf should slide easily out of the non-stick Bread Pan onto the rack. The cooling rack will prevent the loaf from retaining too much moisture.

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 plastic or nonmetal utensil to gently remove it, taking care not to scratch the Kneading Paddle. This is a common procedure with bread makers.

The bread should cool for 30 minutes before it is sliced.

When you are done using the Breadman® Cool

Touch Bread Baker, be sure to unplug it.

Crust Control	• The CRUST CONTROL Button is used to select the baking
	temperature from the following options:
	Light: Use to bake a cake or the like at a relatively low
	temperature. The baking time is changeable with the
	(+) or (-) TIMER Buttons within the range of 10 minutes to 4
	hours.
	Medium: This mode should be selected when baking a bread
	made with a Basic, Sweet or Wholewheat dough. The baking time
	is changeable with the (+) or (-) TIMER Buttons within the
	range of 10 minutes to 4 hours.
	Dark: This mode should be selected when baking a
	bread made with the French setting. The baking time is changeable
	with the (+) or (-) TIMER Buttons within the range of 10
	minutes to 4 hours.

USING THE DELAY BAKE TIMER

13 Hour

Delay Bake Timer

Caution

You can preset your Breadman® to delay baking from 10 minutes to 13 hours in advance.

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

To preset your Breadman®, follow these steps:

1.Add the 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.Select the Baking Cycle you want. The time needed for the selected Baking Cycle appears in the Display Window.

4.Press the TIMER (+) Button once for each 10 minutes you want to add to the clock. Press the TIMER (-) Button to decrease the time in 10 minute intervals. The amount of time set is shown in the Display Window.

NOTE: To fast forward time, continually press down the

(+)or (-) TIMER Buttons.

•Simply count the number of hours between start and finish. For example, if it is now 6 :00 PM and you want a loaf of bread ready at 7:00 AM breakfast, press the (+) TIMER Button until the display reads 13:00. (This is the number of hours between 6:00PM (present time) and 7:00AM (finished time).

5.Press START Button to begin the Timer. The colon (: ) in the Display Window begins to flash, letting you know the Timer is started. The remaining amount of time left to finish is shown as the Timer counts down to completion. When the Display Window indicates 0:00, baking is completed.

6.If you make an error after you have activated the Timer and want to start over, press and hold the STOP Button. The unit will reset to auto default programming of :

1 (Basic) b (medium crust) 2 lb. loaf and if you wish, you may begin again.

USING THE DELAY BAKE 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.
