USING YOUR WELBILT® BREAD MACHINE
Before using your Bread Machine for the first time, be sure o carefully

read all of the instructions included in this manual.

1. You can make any of the delicious recipes included with your Bread
Machine. You also can use bread machine pre-mixes sold in many
specialty stores or through mail order catalogs. Be sure that you never
exceed 1-1/2 teaspoons of yeast when baking bread from scratch
(unless specified in your Welbilt recipe) or when using any other recipe
or pre-mix.

2. You also can use any 2. 3 or 4 cup flour capacity recipe from many
of the bread machine cookbooks available from your local bookstore or
library. Never exceed teaspoons of yeast if baking bread in the Bread
Machine.

3. It you wish to convert a favorite family recipe for use in your bread
machine, find a similar one in this booklet to see how to scale it down
proportionately. Never exceed 1 /2 teaspoons of yeast when baking
bread in the Bread Machine.

4. For best results, never exceed the maximum amount of four cups of
flour if you plan to bake the bread in the appliance.

5 Before making your bread or dough determine the size loaf or the
amount of dough you plan to make. You can use 2. 3, or 4 cups of
flour depending on the recipe. Press the LOAF SIZE button to choose
either REGULAR for 1 lb. loaf of bread or dough or LARGE for 1 1/2 to
2 lbs.

6. When making basic yeast bread like white, wheat and raisin, set the
bread machine on the NORMAL setting by pressing the SELECT button.
Determine the type of crust desired by pressing the BAKING CONTROL
button for MEDIUM, DARK or LIGHT. To make yeast dough for baked
goods that will be hand shaped and baked in your kitchen oven, press
the SELECT button for DOUGH NORMAL. The bread machine will knead
and rise the dough which will then be removed and hand shaped.

7. If you are making bread or dough which contains a greater quantity
of eggs, sugar or butter, set the bread machine on the SWEET bread
setting by pressing the SELECT button. If you are baking the bread in
the bread machine determine the type of crust desired by pressing the
BAKING button for MEDIUM, DARK or LIGHT. To only make sweet
bread dough, press the SELECT button until DOUGH SWEET appears
on the readout

8. If you wish to make yeast bread using the RAPID setting, the entire
bread making process will be shortened by 30 minutes. To use this
optional function, press the SELECT button until either RAPID NORMAL,
or RAPID SWEET, appears on the readout. Determine how you wish to
have your bread baked by selecting MEDIUM, DARK or LIGHT.

9. After selecting the appropriate loaf size, type of program, and
baking cycle, press START.

10. You can also set your bread machine to make an endless variety of
yeast breads to be ready up to 13 hours later when using the NORMAL
or SWEET bread setting only. Press the SELECT button for either
NORMAL or SWEET. Choose the appropriate baking setting by pressing
the BAK ING CONTROL button for MEDIUM, DARK or LIGHT.

Using the PROGRAMMABLE TIMER arrow up or arrow down buttons,
you can set your bread machine to have your bread ready, up to 13
hours later. Never use perishable ingredients like eggs. when using the
PROGRAMMABLE TIMER. Never use absorbent ingredients like oats or
other whole grains, since they will absorb the liquid before the bread
making process begins. The PROGRAMMABLE TIMER cannot be used
when using the RAPID or DOUGH setting.

TIPS FOR BEST
BAKING RESULTS

1. All ingredients must be at room temperature.

2. Yeast is what causes the dough to rise. It is a living single cell
organism that is sold dehydrated. When mixed with water, yeast is
reactivated. Unfortunately, yeast can be adversely affected by extreme
temperatures. If the ingredients being used are not at room
temperature, the yeast may not be activated effectively.

3. Yeast also can be adversely affected by temperatures that are too
hot. Only use room temperature water (75° – 80°F) even though the
yeast package may specify something totally different.

4. Always measure ingredients carefully. Spoon flour into the
measuring cup and level off with a blunt knife. Do not pack down.

5. Always use bread flour unless otherwise specified. It is available in
most supermarkets.

6. Do not open the lid during operation since this can adversely affect
the quality of the bread.

7. Be careful not to unplug the Bread Machine during use. If this
should happen, or if there is a power failure, you will not be able to go
back o where it left off. However, if the Bread Machine was not in the
baking cycle and the dough had been kneaded at least once, you can
remove it, hand-shape and bake it in a conventional oven.

8. if you try to use the Bread Machine immediately after baking a loaf
of bread, the yea may be killed since the appliance will be very hot. If
you press the START button the Bread Machine will beep and not
knead. This is your warning that the pan should be removed and the
unit be allowed to cool down.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MAXIMUM ENJOYMENT AND SAFETY

1. The baking portion and lid of the Bread Machine become extremely
hot during baking. Always use a kitchen mitt or pot holder when
touching these parts.

2. Do not operate this appliance on the same circuit as other high
voltage appliances.

3. Position the Bread Machine at least 4 inches from the f of the
counter or working surface. Do not place any flammable materials or
objects on top of the appliance when plugged in or during operation.

4. Do not use the Bread Machine near any electrical equipment like
radios, TVs, or stereos since poor reception or interference may occur.

5. Always use the Bread Machine on a clean, dry work surface away
from exposed elements, direct sunlight, or other sources of heat or
cold.

6. Only use the Bread Machine on a non-flammable work surface or
counter. Never use on floor or on carpeting or on top of any cloth
objects like tablecloths or placemats.

7. Never stick your hand or any kitchen utensils into the bread pan
during operation.

8. Do not use accessories or attachments not included or
recommended by Welbilt.

9. Do not put any components in the dishwasher.

10. Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments to the
electrical components or parts.

11. Do not use this appliance other than for its intended use.

GETTING STARTED
Your Welbilt® Bread Machine has twelve separate
programs to choose from.
Making Bread Automatically:
Choose the NORMAL, SWEET, RAPID/NORMAL, RAPID/SWEET,

REGULAR or LARGE capacity program when making bread
automatically, by pressing the SELECT and LOAF SIZE buttons. The
Bread Machine will knead and rise the dough twice and then bake it to
perfection.

Making Yeast Dough Automatically:
Choose the DOUGH/NORMAL or DOUGH/SWEET, REGULAR or LARGE

capacity program, by pressing the SELECT and LOAF SIZE buttons.
The Bread Machine will knead and rise the dough twice. At the end of
the program you will remove the dough and hand-shape it according
to your recipe. Dough will then be baked in a conventional oven.

INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BREAD PAN

1. Before using the Bread Machine for the first time, be certain to wash
the bread pan and dough blade with warm water and mild dish­washing liquid. Towel dry. Never put the bread pan and blade in 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 fluorine
coating which will scratch if not treated and 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 bottom of the baking compartment. Push down. To remove the
pan, pull up.

4. Remember to insert the kneading blade on the shaft located in the
bread pan before adding your ingredients. It is not necessary to
remove the kneading blade after you make every loaf of bread. Always
be certain that the dough hook is securely screwed in the pan..

5. Since the bread pan will be hot after the baking cycle, always use a
kitchen mitt or pot holder when removing it;

6. To remove the bread from the pan, remove the 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.

Mixing/First Kneading: The Bread Machine will intermittently mix the
ingredients So, 2 minutes at which time it will then begin to knead the
dough to (arm a smooth, elastic ball.

Second Kneading: Knead the dough makes the gluten elastic enough
to form the structure of the bread.

Add Fruit/Nuts: The Bread Machine will beep B times, 5 minutes before
the end of the second kneading. This is the best time to add
ingredients like nuts and raisins, etc.

First Rise: When dough has been well-kneaded, the gluten forms thin
elastic strands that make up the structure of the bread. As the yeast
develops and multiplies, it produces carbon dioxide gas. The gas
becomes trapped in the gluten strands, forming bubbles. As these
bubbles collect, the dough expands and rises.

Punch Down: The Bread Machine kneads the dough for 30 seconds to
deflate it,

Second Rise: The gluten strands are now strong enough to support the
loaf. The yeast will once again produce carbon dioxide gas and the
dough will rise to its maximum height.

Baking: The bread will be baked to perfection when using any program
except DOUGH.

Keep Warm: I you are unable to remove the bread immediately after
baking, the Bread Machine will keep the loaf warm to reduce the
effects of the condensation that will form between the bat and the pan.
Nevertheless, always remove the bread as quickly as possible after the
baking cycle.
