IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• Do not immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid (see instructions for cleaning).
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use oven mitts when handling the hot bread pan or bread.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used near children.
• This appliance is not for use by children. Keep out of reach of children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before attaching or remov-
ing parts.
• Avoid touching moving parts. Do not remove the bread pan during operation. Stop pad must be
pressed if bread pan is to be removed before completion.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions,
or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• Do not use outdoors or while standing in damp area.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• To unplug, grip the plug and pull out from the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
• Do not unplug while unit is in operation.
• Do not use appliance except as indicated in these instructions.
• Use accessory attachments only if recommended by Toastmaster Inc.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts.
• Bread maker must be placed at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) from walls and edge of counter.
• Do not cover bread maker with anything which would prevent the steam from escaping. This may
cause warpage, discoloration, malfunction or even fire.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special
care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V, and
at least 13 A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
ELECTRIC POWER:If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your bread maker may not operate properly. The bread maker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating
appliances.
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to 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.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Please fill out information that follows warranty.
Unpack and clean bread maker; see CLEANING AND STORING.
Place bread maker on a dry, stable surface away from burners and away from areas where cooking
grease or water may splatter onto it. Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use. Place on back of
counter top.
The bread maker will bake up to a 2 pound loaf of bread. Do not put a larger quantity of ingredients
into the bread pan than recommended. If you do so, the bread may not mix or bake correctly and the
bread maker may be damaged. The maximum amount of ingredients to be used is as follows.
Bread programs — approximately 4 cups
Dough program — 4 2/3 cups
During first use, this product may smoke and/or emit an odor from mineral oils used in manufacturing.
This is normal for a newly manufactured appliance. Before first use, operate empty on the fast bake program to burn off the manufacturing oils.
n
POWER OUTAGE
Your Bread Box™bread maker has a 7-minute power interrupt feature. If the electricity goes off, the memory will store the course in process for up to 7 minutes. If the power comes back on within this time, the
course will resume where it left off. If the bread maker loses power for more than this time and you are
using any dairy products, perishables or meat in your bread, you should discard the contents of the
recipe and start again with new fresh ingredients due to health and sanitary considerations.
For non-perishable recipes you may try starting the bread maker at the beginning of the course again
for all courses except fast bake. This may not always produce an acceptable loaf. If you are not sure
when the outage occurred, remove the dough ball from the bread pan and place in an oven-safe baking container. Allow to double in size and place in a preheated 350°F/177°C oven for 30-45 minutes
or until done. The bread will sound hollow when tapped on top of the loaf if it is done.
If you are using the fast bake course or if the bread has already begun to bake when the outage occurs,
you must begin with new ingredients.
The power interrupt will not cover power surges. If you experience frequent power surges, use a surge
protector.

the display window will indicate last program selected.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR BREAD AND DOUGH
We recommend that you read the following information before you shop for your ingredients. Your
bread maker will bake up to a 2 pound loaf of fresh bread containing approximately 4 cups of
flour. All ingredients except liquids must be at room temperature and liquids should be approximately 80°F/27°C (baby bottle temperature). When preparing bread for the Fast Bake program, all
liquid temperatures must be 110°-115°F/43°-46°C. Always place the ingredients in the bread pan
in the order listed in the recipe: liquids, dry ingredients and then yeast. Some ingredient amounts
are the same for different size loaves.
n MEASURING: THE CORRECT WAY
Be sure to measure accurately for success. Mis-measuring, even slightly, can make a big difference in your
results.
When you are measuring liquids, use a clear
glass or plastic liquid measuring cup. To
ensure accuracy, set the measuring cup on the
counter top and read the measurement at eye
level.
To measure your flour, spoon it lightly into a
standard dry ingredient measuring cup and
level it with a straight edge. Also, do not
shake the cup or tap it on the counter top. Do
not scoop the flour with the measuring cup as
this tends to pack more flour than the recipes
call for.
Use standard measuring spoons and level
with a straight edge.

4 TBL = 1/4 cup 5/8 cup = 1/2 cup + 2 TBL
5 TBL + 1 tsp = 1/3 cup 7/8 cup = 3/4 cup + 2 TBL
n DOUGH BALL: NECESSARY FOR A SUCCESSFUL LOAF OF BREAD
We have found that liquid amounts called for in a recipe may need to be adjusted slightly because
different climates and seasons result in a wide variety of humidity levels. You should check the
dough ball at the beep during the kneading process, see program specifications. At this point, the
ball should be round, smooth-textured, soft and slightly tacky to the touch. When touched it will
leave a little dough on your finger. Push down any dough or flour that may be on the sides of the
pan. If it does not form a ball and is more like a batter, add 1 tablespoon of bread flour at a time
until it reaches the appropriate consistency. On the other hand, if the mixture is too dry to form a
9
ball, forms more than one ball, or is a ball but not soft and slightly tacky, add 1 teaspoon of water
and allow it to absorb. Add more water if necessary. Provided you have used all of the ingredients
specified in the recipe, measured the ingredients properly, and have a "good” dough ball, you
should achieve a successful load of bread.
When preparing bread in the Fast Bake program, the dough ball will be a very soft, loose ball with
a smooth texture and will be sticky to the touch. When touched it will leave dough on your finger.
n I N G R E D I E N T S :READ BEFORE SHOPPING
Yeast: The Number One Ingr e d i e n t
For all programs except Fast Bake we used RED STAR®Active Dry Yeast when we developed the
bread recipes. However, RED STAR®QUICK RISE™Yeast may also be used. We found that we did
not have to vary the amount used when we substituted one for the other. When using bread
machine yeast, follow the package instructions.
When developing the fast bake program, we found that Quick•Rise or Bread Machine must be
used. They may be substituted in equal amounts. You will find that this program requires more yeast
than other programs.
A 1/4 ounce package of RED STAR yeast contains approximately 2 1/4 level teaspoons of yeast.
When the yeast is exposed to oxygen, moisture or warmth, the activity of it deteriorates. Therefore,
we recommend storing yeast in an airtight container and refrigerating for up to 6 weeks or freezing
it for up to 6 months. Measure out the amount you need and allow it to come to room temperature
before using it — this takes about 15 minutes.
If you have any doubt regarding the activity of the yeast, you may use one of the following tests to
determine its strength. Each test calls for a different amount of yeast as a base ingredient. This gives
you more bread choices once the test is complete. The yeast mixture should not be used for the fast
bake program.
To test for one package (2 1/4 teaspoons) of RED STAR Active Dry or QUICK•RISE Yeast, use a
l i q u i d measuring cup and fill to the 1/2 cup level with 110°-115°F/43°-46°C water. Stir in 1
t e a s p o o n granulated sugar and 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) RED STAR Active Dry or
QUICK•RISE Yeast. Leave your stirring spoon in the cup. Set a timer for 10 minutes. As the yeast
absorbs liquid, it will begin to activate and rise to the surface. If at the end of the 10 minutes the
yeast has multiplied to the 1 cup mark, it is very active. The yeast mixture may be used in your
ToastmasterBread Maker in a recipe that calls for 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast. Remember to adjust
your recipe for the 1/2 cup of water and 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast used in the test. The sugar does
not need to be adjusted. To test for 1 1/2 teaspoons of RED STAR Active Dry or QUICK•RISE Yeast,
use a liquid measuring cup and fill to the 1/4 cup level with 110°-115°F/43°-46°C water. Stir in 1
teaspoon granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons RED STAR Active Dry or QUICK•RISE Yeast.
Leave your stirring spoon in the cup. Set a timer for 10 minutes. As the yeast absorbs liquid, it will
begin to activate and rise to the surface. If at the end of the 10 minutes the yeast has multiplied to
the 1/2 cup mark, it is very active. The yeast mixture may be used in your Toastmaster Bread
Maker in a recipe that calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons or more of yeast. Remember to adjust your recipe
for the 1/4 cup of water and 1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast used in the test. The sugar does not need to
be adjusted.
Flour: Bread Flour is Essential for Br e a d
All types of flour are affected by many factors, such as milling grades, moisture content, length of
storage and manufacturing processes. Adjustments to the recipes may need to be made to compensate for climactic changes in different regions to ensure an excellent loaf.
10
Bread flour is a definite necessity. Milled from hard winter or spring wheat, it has a higher protein
content that makes it more durable than all-purpose flour. The protein, when mixed with liquid,
becomes gluten. When kneaded, gluten becomes elastic and gives the bread better structure. In
contrast, all-purpose flour, milled from a combination of soft and hard wheat, becomes elastic too
easily for use in a bread maker and quickly loses its ability to stretch well. As a result, bread made
from all-purpose flour will be smaller and more dense. Several well-known mills now market bread
flour. It is labeled bread flour on the package and is available at grocery stores.
Wheat is the only grain that contains the type of protein that becomes elastic when kneaded. Other
flours, such as rye, barley, oats, soy, rice and buckwheat add flavor and fiber to breads but do not
add structure to the dough. Therefore, wheat flour is essential as a base when making bread.
Vital Wheat Gluten is produced by processing white flour one more step. White flour contains both
protein and starch, and mills now can remove most of the starch leaving only the protein (gluten).
When gluten is added to recipes containing whole grain flours, it improves the volume and shape
of the loaf significantly. Many gro c e ry stores stock gluten in the flour section. Health food and
n u t r i t i o n centers also carry this item.
Flour is best kept in an airtight container. If you are storing the flour for a long period of time, you
may want to keep it in the freezer as the refrigerator tends to dry it out. Whole grain wheat flours,
which have a higher oil content, will become rancid much more quickly than white flour and should
always be kept in the freezer. Be sure, however, to allow all flours to return to room temperature
before placing in the bread maker.
Fat: Dough Enhancer and Conditioner
Our recipes were developed using vegetable oil. You may use any type of oil or substitute in equal
proportions solid shortening or real butter (divide them into small pieces). We have found no
noticeable difference in flavor but the crust may be more crisp with real butter. We do not recommend the use of margarine as it tends to make the crust tough.
Liquids: Activate the Yeast and Bind the Dough
When we use the term liquid, we are re f e rring to all wet ingredients used in the recipe. For all
p ro g r a m s except fast bake, it is very important that the liquid temperature is 80°F/27°C. With this
water temperature, the yeast activates gradually to accommodate these programs.
When preparing bread using the fast bake program, all liquid temperatures must be 110°115°F/43°-46°C. The warmer temperature is necessary for the yeast to activate quickly to accommodate this specially designed program.
Eggs are also considered part of the total liquid amount. Eggs should be at room temperature.
When removing them from the refrigerator, place whole uncracked eggs in a bowl of warm water
for 15 minutes to bring to room temperature.
Cinnamon and Garlic: Not True Friends of Ye a s t
Previously, cinnamon and sugar were sprinkled on dough before it was rolled up jelly-roll fashion.
Adding cinnamon and garlic to the dough in a bread maker, however, presents a problem.
Cinnamon reacts with bread dough just as a meat tenderizer reacts with meat. It breaks down the
structure. Although it smells wonderful as it is baking, the flavor is dissipated in the baking process.
DO NOT ADD MORE THAN LISTED IN THE RECIPE. For more flavor, use cinnamon and garlic as
spread for the bread rather than adding to the dough.
F ruits and Vegetables: Add Flavor and Nutrition
When adding fruits or vegetables to recipes, do not exceed the amount listed. These products, if
used in excessive amounts, may inhibit the rising of the bread.
11
Salt: Regulates Yeast Activity
Salt is necessary to control the activity of yeast, causing it to work slowly and steadily. Without salt,
yeast acts too rapidly. Salt also strengthens the structure of the dough. If too little or no salt is used,
the bread will rise rapidly and then fall. The texture will also be more coarse and/or uneven.
Sugar: Food for Ye a s t
Sugar is the favorite food of yeast, but too much sugar will cause the yeast to over-react. The loaf of
bread will be small and dense. Dried fruits also contribute sugar to the bread dough. We do not
recommend adding any more than is specified in each recipe. In addition, we do not recommend
the use of artificial sweeteners because the yeast cannot react with them.
n S U B S T I T U T E S
In our test kitchen, we experimented with these ingredient substitutions. We do want to mention that
your results may vary from ours. If you would like to try other substitutions, there are several helpful
hint books available from retail stores to assist you. Of course, we cannot guarantee their results.
Eggs
Liquid egg substitutes may be used as directed on the carton.
Two egg whites may be substituted for one whole egg.
REMEMBER, all egg products must be at room temperature.
Milk
C o ffee cre a m e r, non-dairy creamer or dry buttermilk may be substituted for dry milk in equal
p ro p o rt i o n s . Liquid milk 80°F/27°C may be substituted for water in equal proportions for all bread
p rograms except fast bake. The dry milk may then be eliminated all together. The loaf will be slightly
smaller.
Salt
Salt-free recipes are not successful. Dietetically sodium free (less than 5 mg sodium per serving) or
low salt (less than 1/2 the sodium of table salt) may be used in equal amounts. The bread will be
more coarse.
Sugar
Honey may be substituted for sugar in equal proportions; reduce the liquid by the same amount.
B rown sugar may be substituted for white sugar in equal pro p o rtions. Yeast needs sugar — no
a rt i f i c i a l sweetener should be used.
Wheat Flour
For gluten-free bread recipes refer to gluten-free bread section.
Yeast
We used RED STAR Yeast to develop our recipes. However, any brand may be used.
Refer to yeast ingredient section for other yeast substitutes.
n BREAD MIXES AND OTHER COOK BOOKS
Use mixes labeled for up to 2 pound loaves. For best results, use the basic program. Even though
we offer a wide variety of recipes for bread and dough, you may be looking for one that we have
not included in our recipe book. Bread maker helpful hints and recipe books are available at book
and retail stores. They offer a wide variety of recipes. Refer to the features section of this book for
the best bread program to use for other recipes. Minor adjustments may be necessary for best
results.
12
n HIGH ALT I T U D E
High elevations may make dough rise faster. We recommend that you try the recipe as it is printed
first. The dough ball should be round, smooth-textured, soft and slightly tacky to the touch. If you
find the results are unsuccessful, decrease your yeast 1/4 teaspoon at a time. You may also have to
increase the liquid because of the drier air; start with 1 tablespoon and increase it if necessary. The
addition of gluten will help the structure of the bread. The recommended amount is 1 teaspoon per
cup of flour unless specified otherwise in the recipe.
n FREEZING BAKED BREAD
When freezing bread and rolls, cool them before wrapping in plastic wrap. Place them in a plastic
bag and seal it. Bread may be frozen for up to six weeks. When you thaw, partially open the
wrapping to allow the moisture to escape gradually for best results.
n FREEZING DOUGH
At the end of the dough program, you may remove the dough and freeze it for baking at a later
time. Form the dough into the desired shape and immediately freeze for one hour to harden.
Remove from the freezer and wrap in plastic wrap. Next, place it in a plastic bag and seal. Dough
can be kept in the freezer for up to four weeks. Thaw the dough in plastic bag in the refrigerator
overnight or for several hours. Unwrap and place on baking container. Cover and let stand in
warm, draft free place until double the original size. Because the dough is not room temperature,
you will find it takes longer than usual to rise. Bake according to recipe instructions.

PROGRAMMING
n PROGRAMMING BREAD MAKER PROGRAMS
The following are the general steps for using the bread maker. Depending on the program or recipe
that you choose, some steps may not apply or there may be additional steps. Refer to the Breads,
Fast Bake Breads, Cakes and Doughs sections.
Add all ingredients to the pan in the order listed in the recipe.
The illustrations in this use and care guide are for information purposes only. You may find your
bread maker looks different, however, the steps for operation are the same.
Open the lid and remove the
1
bread pan by pulling straight
up, using the handle.
Place all ingredients, except
3 4
yeast, in bread pan in the order
listed. Use a rubber spatula to
smooth the dry ingredients in the
bread pan; be sure to spread
into all corners. Lightly tap the
pan 3 times on the counter top
to settle the ingredients. Add
yeast on top.
2
Mount the kneading blade on
the shaft, flat side down.
Insert bread pan and push down
on rim until it snaps securely into
place. Fold handle down.
If the pan does not snap securely into
place, remove bread pan. Wearing
oven mitts, place fingers behind bread
pan clips and gently pull away from
Close the lid. Plug into
120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet.
5
The bread maker display indicator will default to
1P and then 3:00.
Press the PROGRAM button to
6
choose the desired program. Each
time the PROGRAM button is
pressed, you will hear a beep and the
number in the display window will
advance to the next program.
Press the CRUST COLOR button to
choose crust color desired. When you
press the button, you will hear a beep
and the display window will show the
color selected.
L = Light color
P = Medium color
H = Dark color
Press the LOAF SIZE button to
choose the desired loaf size. When
you press the button, you will hear a
beep and the display window will
show the size of the loaf selected.
Press the START/STOP button.
7
The time left for the program to
be finished is displayed. The
timer will count down in one minute
increments. All programs except
CAKE and BAKE
will beep to additional ingredients
during the second
knead. Opening
the lid will not stop
the kneading. Add
ingredients quickly
and evenly over
dough. Quickly
close the lid to prevent heat loss. At
this time also check the dough ball
and use a rubber spatula to scrape
ingredients from the sides of the pan.
The beeper will sound when the
8
bread is done. Press the
START/STOP button and hold it
until you hear a beep. Remove the
bread pan using oven mitts. If you do
not stop the unit and remove the
bread, it will automatically go into the
keep warm process on all programs
except for Dough. Your bread will be
kept warm for 1 hour. The bread
machine will beep every 5 minutes.
You may remove the bread pan at
any time during the keep warm cycle.
To turn off the keep warm feature
before the 1 hour is up, press the
START/STOP
button and hold
it until you hear
a beep.
Turn the bread pan upside down
9
and shake to release the bread.
Place the
bread upright
on a wire rack
to cool 20-30
minutes before
cutting. This
allows the
steam to
escape. Be
sure to remove
the kneading
blade from the
bread.
CAUTION:
• The bread pan, kneading blade
and bread will be very hot.
n PROGRAMMING DELAY TIMER
The delay timer can be set to delay bread making up to 13 hours. At the selected time, delicious
bread will be ready. The delay works for all programs except FAST BAKE, CAKE and BAKE.
Add all ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed. It is critical to add the yeast last on top of
the flour, and away from liquid. This will keep the yeast from activating until the bread maker starts
to mix.
Select the PROGRAM, CRUST COLOR and LOAF SIZE. Before pressing START, set the TIMER for
the amount of time you want to wait before the bread is done.
EXAMPLE: It is 9:00 p.m. now. The bread is to be ready at 6:30 a.m. the next morning. Set
the timer for 9:30, because there are 9 hours and 30 minutes between 9:00 p.m. and 6:30
a.m.
1. When pressed, the time will
advance in 10 minute increments.
2. When constant pressure is
applied to the pad, the time will
advance quickly. Once you count
up to 13:00 hours, the timer
starts over again at 4:00 hours.
3. Press the Start pad. The time is
set, and the colon blinks. After
one minute, 9:29 is displayed,
and the timer continues to count
down in 1 minute increments.
NOTE: The bread maker will start when
the timer has counted down to the start
time for the program selected to begin.
Colon will blink
