This unit hasa short power supply cord to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An

extension cord maybe used if you are careful in its use.If a longer
detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used, (1)the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical ration of the appliance, and
(2)the cord should 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. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounding type 2-wire cord. The
power cord must be kept dry and must not be bent or have any-
thing put on top of it

To reduce the hazard of potential shock, this item has a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the other),which will fit only one way
in a polarized outlet Ifthe plug does not fit the outlet properly,turn
the plug the other way, if it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician for assistance.Never use this plug with an extension
cord unless it fits properly.DO NOT ATTEMPTTO DEFEATTHIS

KNEADING, RISING and BAKING CYCLES(cant'd.)

INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BREAD PAN

WarmingCycle: Sincetemperature plays such an important role in

making good bread and dough, your Welbilt Bread Machine will
warm the ingredientsto the optimumtemperatureto ensure the

best results.

First Mixing(Kneading):The BreadMachine will intermittentlymix

the ingredientsfor a few seconds at which time it will then

begin to kneadthe dough to form a smooth ball.

Second Mixing(Kneading): Kneadingthe dough makesthe gluten

elastic enough to form the structure of the bread.

Add Fruit/Nuts: The Bread Machine will beep several times a few

minutes before the end of the second kneading. This is the best
time to add ingredients like nuts and raisins, etc.

First Rising: When dough has been well-kneaded, the gluten forms

thin elastic strandsthat make up the structure of the bread.As
the yeastdevelopsand multiplies,it produces carbon dioxide
gas.The gas becomestrapped in the gluten strands forming
bubbles.As these bubbles collect, the dough expands and rises.

First Punch Down: The Bread Machine kneads the dough for a few

seconds to deflateit.

Second Rise: The yeastwill once again produce carbon dioxide

gas.

Second Punch Down: The Bread Machine again kneads the dough

for a few seconds to deflate it again.

Third Rise: The gluten strands are now strong enough to support

the loaf. The yeastwill once again produce carbon dioxide gas
and the dough will rise to its maximumheight.

Baking: If you are using the NORMALor REGULARprogram,the

bread will be baked to perfection. If you are making bread that
cOf.'ltainstoo much sugar in the recipe,it may cause the bread
to overbake.Set your machine on the lightestsetting.

Keep Warm: If you are unable to removethe baked bread immedi-

ately after baking,the Bread Machine will keep the loaf warm as
to reduce the effects of the condensationthat will form between

the loaf andthe pan.Nevertheless,always removethe bread as
quickly as possible after the baking cycle is completed.

1. Beforeusing the Bread Machine for the first time, be certainto
wash the breadpan and dough blade with warm water and mild
dish-washing liquid. Towel dry. Never put the bread pan and

blade into the dishwasher.

2. All mixing, kneading,rising and baking (when appropriate)take
place in the bread pan. The pan is covered with a non-stick
coating which will scratch if nottreatedand cared for properly.
Clean and treat the pan as you would a non-stick frying pan.

3. To reinsert the pan, place over the locking mechanism located
on the bottomof the baking compartment.Push down. To
removethe pan, pull up.

4. Rememberto insert the kneading blade on the shaft located in
the bread pan before adding your ingredients.

5. Since the breadpan will be hot after the baking cycle, always

use a kitchen mittor pot holder when removing it.

6. To remove the bread from the pan (for model #ABM4100T,
first removethe dough hook), invert upside down and gently
shake up and down until the loaf slides out. If the bread does not
come out of the pan easily,use a non-metallic kitchen utensil to
pry it out.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

If taken care of properly,your Welbilt@Bread Machine will provide
you with manyyearsof use and hundreds of loaves of delicious

bread.

1. Aftereach use,unplug the Bread Machine. Let the unit cool
down to room temperature.Wipe out the baking compartment
and the inner lid with a clean, damp cloth or sponge.

2. Removethe kneading blade from the pan. It may be necessaryto
fill the pan with water in order to loosen the blade from the shaft.

Cleanthe pan and blade with warm water and mild dishwashing
liquid. Never use abrasive or strong household cleaners since

they will damage the non-stick finish. Towel dry.

3. Wipe down the cabinet of the BreadMachine with a clean,damp
cloth or sponge.Towel dry.

INSIDER'S GUIDE TO EASY BAKING

Your Welbilt BreadMachine produces delicious baked goods with
ease.This marvelousmachine asks only that you carefully follow
the recipe instructions! In basic cooking, normally "a pinch of this

and a dash of that" is fine, but not for automatic bread machines.
Using an automatic Bread Machine requires you accurately

measureeach ingredient (especiallyyeastand water)for best
results.For best results,have your ingredientsat roomtemperature

65° to 85°F, unlessotherwise specified.

TRADITIONALYEASTBREADS

The mention of fresh-baked bread evokes different memoriesfor

different people. But,there's one thing certain aboutall good yeast
breads.They're always moist and meaty.Pinch or squeezea slice
of good bread.It will, slowly but surely,resume its original shape.

PREPARATIONFOR GOODRESULTS

Your Bread Machine produces satisfyingresults if you carefully

follow directions and use the indicated ingredients.

Bread Flour: Now available in most supermarketsin 5 lb. bags,
bread flour is higher in gluten than unbleached all-purpose flour.
Gluten,a natural protein found in wheat flour, makes dough elastic
when efficiently kneaded.This high gluten content produces higher
volume loaves.Breadflour is the flour of choice when working with

yeast and whole grain breads, unless otherwise specified. Never
use flour that has been sitting in an open bag or container for more
than six months or during an extended period of high humidity.

Active Dry Yeast: Use only dry yeast- never compressed cake
yeast.The amountgiven in the recipe is for ,activedry yeast. For
conversion to fast-rising yeast, seechart below. Check its expiration
date.Yeastis the leavening agent that causes dough to expand or
"rise." Liquid and warmth bring yeast back to life. When reactivated,

yeast releasescarbon dioxide bubbles that make well-kneaded
dough rise.

If the yeast is close to the expiration date or the expiration date

has passed,it should be discarded and fresh yeast purchased.

Never useyeastfromtorn or previouslyopened packets. If using
bulk yeastfrom a jar, always store properly according to the
manufacturer'sinstructions on the package. To check ifyouryeast

good, proof your yeast.

HOWTO PROOFYEASTFOR BREADMACHINES

Startwith a clear plasticor glass 1-cup measure. Pour in % cup
of water (110°-115°F).Add 1 teaspoonsugar and stir until
dissolved.Next,add 2%teaspoons active dry yeast (one %-ounce

package)and stir.Setaside for 10minutesto ferment. After 10
minutes,a crest of foam similar to root beer foam should have

developed with the crest at the rim of the cup. If foam crests
below rim, discard and buy fresh yeastfor your Bread Machine.

Conversion Chart for Fast-Rising Yeast
1%teaspoons active dry yeast = 1 teaspoon fast-rising yeast
2%teaspoons active dry yeast = 1%teaspoonsfast-rising yeast
1 tablespoon active dry yeast = 2%teaspoons of fast-rising yeast

Estimated Equivalents

2 cups flour = 1 lb. bread

3 cups flour = 1%Ibs. bread

4 cups flour = 2 Ibs.bread

Sweetener and,Salt: Nevereliminatethe sweetener in the recipe.

Yeastusesit as energy on which to grow. Salt also plays an

important role. It helps stabilize the rising process so that the dough
rises evenly.

Insider's Guide 17

INSIDER'S GUIDE TO EASY BAKING (cant'd.)

Non-fat Dry Milk: Always use non-fat dry milk to prevent

spoilage and to maintainthe proper balanceof wet to dry

ingredients.Ifthereare eggs in the recipe, never use the pro-

grammabletimer in order to preventspoilage.

Shortening: Always use stick butter/oil. It has less moisturethan

tub butter and less air than whipped. Measure:1 stick = % cup =
8 tablespoons.

Water and Liquids: Water and all other liquid ingredients should
be at approximately80°F. If you do not havea thermometerto
measuretemperature,use room temperature liquids.

HOW TO JUDGE IF THINGS ARE GOING WELL

Ingredients for Success

Always measurethe ingredientscarefully using U.S.standard
measuring cups and spoons. Kitchen flatware and coffee cups vary
in size and should never be used.All ingredients should be at room
temperature unless otherwise noted in recipe. Since you will be
using all natural ingredients to makeyour homemade bread,the
quality of the ingredients is important.Sinceflour is milled from
wheat, and other grains, the quality and make up of the flour will
vary from crop to crop, from year to yeareventhough the mills
make every attemptto blend the grains for proper consistency.

Nevertheless,you may see that your bread does not come out
the same when using flour from a different brand. If this is the case,
we suggest that you experiment. (If,for example,the bread made

from brand "X" bread flour does not providea satisfactory loaf of
bread, try another brand. The same applies to yeast.)Some

packages of yeastwill provide greater rising activity than others.
If your bread does not rise well, try another package of yeast or
another brand. We havealso seen that certain brands of yeast work
better with certain brands of flour. (Experimentuntil you find the

combination that works best for you.)

Although the quality of the bread should not be affected by th'e

type/source of water used,extremely hard or soft water can deter-
mine whether a loaf of bread is good or bad.If your water falls in
this category,only make bread using bottled spring water with a low
mineral content or try to substitute the water with low fat milk.

Dough Development

After the first kneading cycle, the ball of kneaded dough should

be smooth and elastic.The top of the dough should be slightly
sticky and should begin to fill out on the bottom of the pan while
rising. If the dough appears stiff and lumpy,it is too dry. Dough that
is too dry can result in short loaves of bread which appear

overbaked.

HINT:Dueto varying flour conditions,the dough mayappear
too dry after kneading the first couple of minutes. If this is the
case,press STOP/RESET.PRESSSTARTand add additional
water,a tablespoon at a time, until the dough appears elastic.

. Do not exceed the following recommendations for:

2, 3 Cup Flour Capacity:

No more than 2 tablespoons additional water.

4 CupFlour Capacity:

No more than 3 tablespoons additional water.

When measuringflour never scoop it out of the bag or the
canister with the measuring cup. Always spoon the flour into the
cup. Insert a clean kitchen knifeinto the flour a couple of times to
eliminate clumps or air pockets. Leveloff the top of the cup with the

knife.Neverpack the flour down.

If the dough appears to be very loose and sticky, it is too moist.
You can overcome this problem by making sure you measurethe
ingredients properly or add less water (approximately one to two
tablespoons less)to compensatefor a higher than normal moisture
content of the flour. (Doughthat is too moist can result in over-

risen, collapsed, wrinkled loaves of bread.)
