This product is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli­ance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the breadmaker. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with your breadmaker.

Control Panel
PROGRAM SELECT – These programs
allow you to make almost any type of bread in your breadmaker. The amount of mixing, kneading, rising, and baking times and temperatures have been pre-programmed for best results.
1. White Bread or basic setting with an “Add Ingredient” signal.
2. Whole Wheat Bread for recipes containing whole wheat flour.
3. Whole Wheat Rapid for whole wheat bread baked in a shorter time frame than normal.
4. French Bread – This bread is typi­cally low in fat and sugar and has a crispy crust with a chewy interior.
5. Sweet Bread – This program is pro­grammed for dough with a higher fat or sugar content. Has “Add Ingredient” signal.
6. Quick Bread/Cake – This program allows you to make baked goods that do not use yeast for rising.
7. Dough – This program does the hard work for you. The ingredients are mixed, kneaded, then allowed to rise. When the program is finished, the dough will be ready to shape for the second rising before you bake in your oven.
8. Rapid – This setting is for a basic White Bread that will be ready in 59 minutes. The crust color is automatically set to Medium in this program.
NOTE: The “Add Ingredient” signal is in the White and Sweet Bread programs. This signal sounds about 30 minutes
into the mixing/kneading program. This is when to add ingredients such as raisins, fruit, or nuts as directed in cer­tain recipes. Adding these ingredients at this stage prevents them from being totally crushed.
CRUST – Allows you to select your choice of crust color: light, medium, or dark. NOTE: Crust color is not programmable in cycles 3, 7, and 8.
START/CANCEL – Press for 1 second to Start. Press for 3 seconds to Cancel or end a program.
SET TIMER – The programmable timer allows you to set up the breadmaker, fill with ingredients and set the timer so the breadmaker starts at a later time. This will give you just-baked bread whenever you want.
To program a delayed start, determine how many hours are between the time you are ready to start the machine and when you want the bread to be done. That is the amount of time that should be entered in the timer. Once you have figured the amount, press the up (▲) keypad. The first time displayed will be the total bread program time. Maximum allowed delay is 12 hours over the program time. Hold button down 2 plus seconds to adjust in fast mode. Continue to press the up () keypad and it will increase in 10 minute inter­vals. Once you have entered the amount of time, press start.
NOTE: When using the programmable timer, NEVER use perishable ingredients, such as milk or eggs.

How to Use Your Breadmaker
1. Make sure breadmaker is unplugged and placed on a stable, level surface. Remove the bread pan and kneading paddle and wash before first use.
2. Place the bread pan on the counter and place the kneading paddle onto the shaft in the bottom of the bread pan. The arrow on the paddle should point up. Push the kneading paddle all the way down. About 1⁄8-inch of the shaft will show above the knead­ing paddle.
3. Measuring carefully, add the ingredi­ents to the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe. Liquid ingredi­ents first, then dry ingredients, and adding the yeast last.
4. Lift the bread pan by the handle and place in the oven chamber. Place the bread pan arrow at the front, aligning with the oven chamber arrow. Push the bread pan all the way down to lock into the bottom gear in the oven chamber. Bread pan must click in place for proper mixing and knead­ing. Close the cover.
5. Plug in breadmaker. A beep will sound and the display window will blink SEL. Press PROG until the desired bread program number is shown in the dis­play window.
6. Now select the Crust Color by pressing CRUST. (Only available in cycles 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.) A small arrow will move along the bottom of the display window indicating which crust color has been selected.
7. If not using the programmable timer feature, press START/CANCEL to start the breadmaker. The total time before the bread is ready will be shown in the display window. If using the programmable timer, set the timer then press START/CANCEL. If START/CANCEL is not pushed within 60 seconds, the display will go back to “SEL.” See page 4 to pro­gram a delayed start.
NOTE: During the White and Sweet Cycles, a beep will sound about 30 minutes after the breadmaker
starts mixing. This is the Add Ingredient signal to add raisins, dried fruit or nuts if the recipe instructs.
8. The breadmaker will beep when the bread is done. END will be shown in the display window. For best results, the bread should be removed from the bread pan imme­diately. If not however, the breadmaker will start a Keep Warm cycle for about 1 hour.
9. Press START/CANCEL and hold for three seconds to turn off the breadmaker. Unplug the unit. SEL will blink in the display window until the unit is unplugged. Raise the cover and using an oven mitt, lift the bread pan straight up to remove from the oven chamber.
10. Using oven mitts on both hands, turn the bread pan upside down and shake the loaf until it falls out of bread pan. Locate kneading pad­dle. It may remain on the shaft in the bottom of the bread pan or it may have baked into the bottom of the loaf of bread. Let bread cool on rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
NOTES:
• Do not use any metal utensils in
the bread pan. This could dam­age the non-stick coating.
• After making a loaf of bread,
the breadmaker must cool down before making another loaf. Leave the cover open to assist the cool­ing process. After 30 minutes, if you are still unable to turn the unit on, unplug it. After waiting a few seconds, plug it in again. This will reset the unit.
• The cover of the breadmaker
is designed to be taken off and reattached easily. This will help when cleaning. However, never immerse the cover; simply wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• The unit is not operating correctly
if the control panel displays “EL” or “ES” codes. Call Customer Service if these codes appear.

Tips for Perfect Bread
Two things can ensure a perfect loaf of bread: precise measuring and quality ingredients. Paying close attention to these areas will go a long way toward successful breadmaking.
Measuring
Exact measuring is very important when using a breadmaker. For the most precise measurements you should use two different types of mea­suring cups. Liquid measuring cups are usually clear glass or plastic with a spout for ease of pouring. Measure the liquid ingredient into the cup but do not raise the cup to your eye level to check. Set the cup on the counter and lower yourself to check the liquid level.
Dry measuring cups are usually sold in a nested set that are level across the top of the cup. To measure flour, first stir the flour to aerate it. Then spoon flour into the measuring cup and using the straight edge of a knife, scrape off the excess. Do not shake the flour to level.
Loaf Sizes
One pound, 11⁄2-pound, and 2-pound breadmakers do not actually refer to the weight or size of the loaf. These actually refer to the capacity of the bread pan in the breadmaker. This breadmaker pan has a 2-pound loaf capacity and can also make a 1-pound or 11⁄2-pound loaf.
Prepared Mixes
Most prepared mixes purchased from a grocery store work best on Program 1.
Ingredients
Bread flour is recommended in most
yeast-bread recipes. See Measuring tips to ensure proper flour measurement.
Flour varies by region. For example, American flour is milled from hard spring wheat. Canadian flour is milled from hard winter wheat. The percentage of natural gluten varies, therefore, the bread varies.
Gluten, a protein, is the component that gives bread its structure. While bread flour has a higher gluten content than all-purpose flour, all-purpose flour will also work well. Gluten should be added to all-purpose flour. Gluten is available at specialty stores, health food stores, and some grocery stores. Follow package directions for the amount of gluten needed per cup of flour. Gluten may be added to bread flour to eliminate a concave top on the bread loaf.
Yeast formulated specifically for bread­makers has a finer grain and is sometimes called instant yeast. Regular active dry yeast can also be used in the breadmaker. Make sure the yeast is fresh. Check the expiration date printed on every package or proof the yeast. To proof, mix 1 cup hot tap water, 1 table­spoon of yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes. If the mixture bub­bles or “grows” the yeast is active and fresh.
Egg yolk should be broken in recipes that use eggs.
The Weather
Extremely dry or extremely damp and humid weather can affect your bread because flour absorbs moisture. During the first 5 to 10 minutes of the bread- maker mixing and kneading, look at the dough in the machine. The dough should look like a smooth ball. It should not be dry or crumbly. It should not be sticky. Make any adjustment to dough by adding water or flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, while the dough is still in the first stages of mixing.

STAGES PROGRAMMED SETTINGS
An easy way to determine the total time of any program is to check the digital display. With the bread pan removed from the breadmaker, press PROGRAM SELECT until the desired program number is displayed. Select CRUST color then press START/CANCEL. The total program time will be displayed. Press START/CANCEL for 3 seconds to turn the breadmaker off.
Cycles 2 and 3 begin with a rest period. The breadmaker will not immediately mix after pressing START. See the Chart for rest period times for each program. The breadmaker stabilizes the temperature for the program.
How To Clean
1. Unplug breadmaker and allow to cool.
2. Remove the bread pan from the oven chamber and remove the bread. Locate the kneading paddle in the bread or remaining on the shaft in the bread pan.
NOTE: If the kneading paddle is diffi­cult to remove from the shaft, fill the bread pan with hot, soapy water and let soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Pour the water out. Grasp the kneading paddle and twist back and forth. It should release, then pull off.
3. DO NOT immerse the bread pan in water or place in a dishwasher. Fill the bread pan with hot, soapy water. Wash bread pan and kneading pad­dle with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool to clean the bread pan. These could damage the non-stick coating.
4. Wipe the outside of the breadmaker with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or other liquid.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store my bread?
Bread keeps well at room temperature, sealed in an airtight plastic bag. Cool bread completely before placing in plastic bags. Bread stored in the refrig­erator quickly becomes stale. Conversely, bread freezes very well. Let bread cool completely then place in an airtight plastic bag and freeze for up to 6 months. It’s a good idea to slice bread prior to freezing if you are only using a few slices at a time. Let bread defrost at room temperature in the plastic bag.
Why is my bread raw on top?
Most likely, the bread rose too high and touched the top of the machine, which kept the heat from circulating and bak­ing the top of the loaf. This is caused by too much yeast. Use about 1⁄4 less yeast next time.
Why is my bread raw in the center?
This means that the bread didn’t rise sufficiently because either there wasn’t enough yeast or there wasn’t enough rising time. Try programming the machine for Manual or Dough then, when the machine is done, reset it back to START. This gives the dough two kneading cycles before baking.
Why didn’t my loaf rise?
The yeast was either dead because of an overdose of salt or sugar, or there wasn’t enough yeast for the amount of flour. Or you forgot to add yeast.
Why did my bread rise up and over the pan?
Too much yeast was added to the dough.
Why is my bread all holey?
This is caused by too much yeast or liquid.
Why is my dough too dry?
Add liquid, a teaspoon at a time, until dough forms a ball while being kneaded.
Why is my dough wet and sticky?
Add extra flour, a teaspoon at a time, until dough forms a ball while being kneaded.
