ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric
burner, in a heated oven, refrigerator or freezer.
• Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless control is set to OFF position.
• Always turn control to OFF and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool completely before putting or taking off
parts and before cleaning.
• Your breadmaker has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling,
tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the
edge of the counter, table or other flat surface area.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the breadmaker (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the breadmaker). Arrange the extension cord to
avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement. Position the extension cord so that it
does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other flat surface area.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the
breadmaker. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If
the plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the
plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.
• Do not use your breadmaker with a converter or transformer. This will destroy
the electronic controls.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BREADMAKER
The control panel on your bread maker was designed to be very easy to use. Please
review the following features to better understand the control panel.
Bread Select Button: The Bread Select button lets you choose between two bread
settings – Basic/Specialty and Wheat. With each press of the Bread Select button,
the light will alternate between the two bread settings.
The Basic/Specialty setting can be
used for almost any bread recipe
containing mostly bread flour. If a
recipe contains up to 50% wholewheat flour, use the Wheat setting.
An alert will sound near the end of
the rise cycle (about 22 minutes
after machine started) to perform
crust treatment if desired.
Start and Stop Button: Before starting the machine, you must first program desired
Bread Select setting. Then press Start/Stop button once to turn machine on.
When the machine is on, green “operation” light will glow. When bread is done, light
will change to red to let you know machine is in “keep warm” mode for one hour.
Alert will also sound when bread is done. Turn off by holding Start/Stop button until
alert sounds and “keep warm” light goes out. If machine is not turned off after
completion of one-hour “keep warm” period, machine will automatically turn itself off.

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS
Although bread making seems very basic, it is a science and the proportions of
ingredients are critical. Read the following information to better understand the
importance each ingredient plays in the bread making process. Always make sure
the ingredients are fresh.
BREAD FLOUR should be used in your bread maker. It contains more glutenforming proteins than all-purpose flour and will provide well-formed loaves with good
structure. Several different brands of bread flour are available. Do not use self-
rising or cake flour in your bread maker.
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR can be used in combination with bread flour at the Wheat
bread setting. Up to 50% wheat flour can be used in recipes. Do not attempt to
use all whole-wheat flour in recipes, as poor results will be obtained.
RYE FLOUR can be used in combination with bread flour in the preparation of rye
bread. Do not use all rye flour in recipes as poor results wil be obtained.
How to make minor adjustments to dough: All flours are affected by growing
conditions, milling, storage, humidity, etc. While not visibly different, you may need
to make some minor adjustments when using different brands of flour as well as
compensating for the humidity in your area. Always store flour in an airtight
container. Store whole grain flours (whole wheat, rye) in a refrigerator to prevent
them from becoming rancid.
Measure the amount of flour as directed in each recipe but make any adjustment
after the first 3 to 4 minutes of continuous kneading. Do not turn machine off to
adjust dough. Check the condition of the dough by touching and looking at it during
the knead cycle. This is the only time you can make any minor change.
• Open cover and touch dough. If it feels a little sticky and there is a slight smear
under the knead bar, no adjustment is necessary.
• If dough is very sticky, clinging to the sides of pan, and is more like a batter than
a dough, add one tablespoon of flour. Allow to work in before making any
further adjustments. Open cover only to add flour.
• If dough is dry and the machine seems to be laboring, add one-teaspoon
lukewarm water at a time. Allow water to work into dough and keep cover
closed before making any further adjustment.
• You will know when the dough is just right near the end of the knead cycle when
it is soft to the touch, smooth in appearance and just a bit sticky, leaving a slight
residue on your finger. The bottom of the bread pan will also be clean or almost
clean of any dough residue.
Do not exceed 1⅓ cups of bread flour for the dinner size loaf. Breads containing a
combination of flours, cereals or oats should not exceed a total of 1½ cups.
SUGAR and OTHER SWEETENERS provide food for the yeast, add height and
flavor to the bread and give the crust a golden color. Types of sweeteners that can
be used include sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, corn syrup and
fruits (dried or fresh).
A special tip when measuring sticky sweeteners is to first coat the measuring spoon
with vegetable oil. Sweeteners slide right out.
7
Do not use artifical sweeteners as a substitute for sugars and other natural
sweeteners as the yeast will not react properly and poor results will be
obtained.
MILK enhances flavor and increases the nutritional value of bread. Any type of milk
(whole, 2%, 1%, skim, buttermilk or canned evaporated milk) can be used in making
bread. Refrigerated mik must always be warmed to 80-90°F. Warm in a glassmeasuring cup in microwave or in a small pan on top of the range. Do not heat milk
above 110°F as this could affect the yeast.
WATER used in combination with dry milk can be substituted for regular milk. Use
lukewarm water, about 80-90°F. Do not use water above 110°F as this could
affect the yeast.
Using too much liquid can cause the bread to collapse during the bake cycle. During
humid weather, slightly less liquid may be needed, as the flour will absorb moisture
from the air. In dry weather, slightly more liquid may be needed as flour can lose
moisture. When a severe change in weather occurs, it is best to check the condition
of the dough during the knead cycle as noted in the “How to make minor adjustments
to dough” section.
Water and milk are, for the most part, interchangeable in recipes. Eliminate dry milk
in recipes when substituting milk for water. Watch condition of the dough during the
knead cycle for any minor adjustment that may be needed. Slightly more milk may
be needed when substituting for water.
BUTTER, MARGARINE, SHORTENING and OILS serve several purposes in bread
making as they tenderize the bread, add flavor and richness. Butter and margarine
are interchangeable in recipes. You may wish to cut these fats into two pieces for
faster blending during the knead cycle.
Low-fat or fat-free bread can be made by substituting equal amounts of
unsweetened applesauce or plain yogurt for the amount of fat recommended in the
recipe. Watch dough as it kneads for any minor adjustment, which may be needed.
Using less fat will affect the height, tenderness and texture of the bread, which is
normal.
EGGS add color, richness and leavening to bread. Use large eggs. No premixing is
needed. Egg substitutes can be used in place of fresh eggs. One egg equals ¼ cup
of egg substitute. To reduce cholesterol, you can substitute two (2) egg whites for a
large egg in recipe without affecting the end result. Watch the dough during the
knead cycle as some minor adjustment may be needed to get the dough to the right
consistency.
A special tip when using eggs is to run them under warm water for about 10-20
seconds before cracking. This helps the egg slide out of shell better.
SALT has several functions in making bread. It controls yeast growth while
strengthening the gluten structure to make the dough more elastic and adds flavor.
Use ordinary table salt in your bread maker. Using too little or eliminating the salt
will cause the dough to over rise. Using too much can prevent the dough from rising
as high as it should. “Light” salt can be used as a substitute for ordinary table salt,
providing it contains both potassium chloride and sodium. Use the same amount as
recommended for table salt.
8
YEAST is a living organism, which, through fermentation feeds on carbohydrates in
flour and sugar to produce carbon dioxide gas that makes the bread rise. Fast
rising or bread machine yeast must be used in your bread maker for best
results in the 45-minute cycle. Do not use active dry or compressed yeast, as
poor results will be obtained.
A ¼-ounce package of fast rising or bread machine yeast contains 2¼ teaspoons,
the exact amount needed when making scratch recipes. Yeast can also be
purchased in glass jars so you can measure the exact amount needed. Once jar is
opened, keep refrigerated. Always make sure yeast is fresh and has not passed the
“use by” date.
SPECIAL NOTE ON CINNAMON AND GARLIC: Adding too much cinnamon or
garlic can affect the texture and size of the loaf obtained. Cinnamon can break down
the structure of the dough, affecting height and texture. Too much garlic can inhibit
the yeast activity. Use only the amount of cinnamon and garlic recommended in the
recipe.
BASIC STEPS IN MAKING BREAD
Always clean your new appliance thoroughly before using. Refer to “Cleaning
Your Breadmaker” section.
1. Position knead bar onto shaft in bottom of pan, matching hub shape with shaft
shape. You may need to twist bar slightly to drop in place. Make sure knead
bar is pushed down onto shaft all the way.
2. Add ingredients to pan in order listed in recipe, liquids first, then the butter or
margarine, next the dry ingredients and finally the yeast. It is best to level the
dry ingredients before adding the yeast.
3. Postion pan into bread maker and turn in direction of arrow (counterclockwise)
to lock in place. If pan does not lock securely, remove and reposition until
secured. Pan must always be locked in place for bread maker to function.
Close cover.
4. Plug bread maker cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY. Alert will
sound. Press Bread Select button for type of bread being made. Press
Start/Stop once to turn machine on. Green “operation” light on control panel
will glow.
After bread maker has been turned on, programmed setting cannot be changed.
To change setting, hold Start/Stop button down until alert sounds and green
“operation” light goes out. Then program control as desired and turn back on.
The bread making process will begin and green “operation” light will glow. The
dough will knead, rise and bake all in 45 minutes.
A few minutes before the bread starts to bake (22 minutes after machine is
turned on), an alert will sound to perform crust treatment if desired (see pg. 10).
5. When bread is done, alert will sound and red light for “keep warm” will glow on
control panel. Turn bread maker off by holding Start/Stop button down until alert
sounds and red “keep warm” light goes out. Unplug cord from electrical outlet.
It is best to remove bread immediately for a crispier crust. Open cover and
remove pan using oven mitt or hot pad, turning to right, (clockwise) to unlock.
If bread is not removed right after cycle is complete, it will automatically go into
9
one hour “keep warm” mode. If machine is not turned off after end of “keep
warm” period, machine will turn itself off and red “keep warm” light will go out.
6. Invert bread pan and shake gently until loaf falls out. Place on rack to cool 15 to
20 minutes. Knead bar will normally stay in pan when bread is removed, but
may on occasion slide out in the bread. If bar is inside loaf, remove before
slicing. If making another loaf of bread right away, be sure machine is turned off
and allowed to cool 15 to 20 minutes with cover open. This will ensure proper
temperature sensing which is critical for the 45-minute cycle.
High Altitude Adjustment: Reduced air pressure at high altitudes causes yeast
gases to expand more rapidly and the dough to rise more quickly. The dough can
rise so much that when it begins to bake, it will collapse due to overstretching of the
gluten structure. To slow the rising of the dough, reduce the amount of yeast by ¼
teaspoon at a time until you find the right amount. You can also reduce the amount
of liquid by a teaspoon or two. Some experimentation will be needed when using
your bread maker at high altitudes.
USING BREADMIXES
Pre-packaged bread mixes can be used in your bread maker following the guidelines
below. Most bread mixes have a net weight of 14 or more ounces. This will make
TWO dinner size loaves of bread. Never attempt to use a full bread mix in your Just
for Dinner™ bread maker as it can not make this large a loaf of bread.
1. Before opening blend mix thoroughly.
2. Add ½ cup (4 ounces) of lukewarm water, 80-90°F, to bread pan containing
knead bar.
3. Measure 1½ cups of bread mix and add to bread pan, level ingredients.
4. Add packet of yeast from mix PLUS 1 teaspoon fast rising or bread machine
yeast. If extra yeast is not used, the loaf of bread will be short. Do not use
active dry yeast. (If mix has yeast blended into the dry ingredients, you will still
need to add the extra teaspoon of fast rising or bread machine yeast). Yeast
does not need to be the same brand as original packet.
5. Lock bread pan into machine and close cover. Program for Basic/Specialty or
Wheat, depending on type of mix being used. Turn machine on. After 3 to 4
minutes of kneading, check dough for any minor adjustment that may be needed
as bread mixes vary slightly by brand. Do not turn machine off to adjust dough.
Crust treatment can be performed when alert sounds just before bake cycle
begins.
1. If dough is too dry and motor seems to be laboring, add 1-teaspoon lukewarm
water at a time until dough becomes soft and pliable.
2. If dough is too wet and clinging to the side of pan, add 1-tablespoon bread mix
or flour, allowing it to be blended into dough before adding more if needed.
Dough should gather into a ball and just be sticky to the touch.
3. Do not leave cover open while adjusting dough, as this will allow heat to escape.
Open cover only to add ingredients, and then close.
6. When done, turn machine off and remove loaf from pan. Allow to cool on rack
15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes: When using the remainder of the bread mix to make another loaf follow the
guidelines except add a ¼-ounce package OR 2¼ teaspoons of fast rising or
bread machine yeast. This amount will compensate for the packet of yeast used to
make the first loaf.
If there is not enough (1½ cups) bread mix left to make a second loaf of bread, use
bread flour or all purpose flour to make up the difference.
ADAPTING YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES
After you have prepared some of the recipes in this book, you may wish to adapt
some of your favorite bread recipes to the bread maker. Some experimentation will
be required on your part and you will need to check the condition of the dough during
the knead cycle for any minor adjustment that may be needed in liquid or flour. Use
one of the recipes in this book that is similar to your recipe as a guide, or use the
formula that follows:
½ cup liquid, 80-90°F (4 ounces) 1 tablespoon fat
1 tablespoon sweetener 1⅓ cups bread flour
2¼ teaspoons fast rising or bread machine yeast ¼ teaspoon salt
CRUST TREATMENT
For a gourmet touch, you can create breads with decorative crusts, whether slashed,
slit or sprinkled with seeds, herbs or cheese. Follow these guidelines for the crust
treatment of your choice:
Just before bread is baked: When alert
sounds just before bread cycle begins, open
cover and carefully brush top surface of
dough with a lightly beaten egg white mixed
with 1-teaspoon water. Slash top of dough
with a sharp knife, about ¼ to ½ inch deep
for desired design. Leave plain or sprinkle
with seeds, herbs, grated Parmesan or
Romano cheese or other desired topping.
Press topping gently into dough to make sure
it will adhere. Close cover and allow bread
to be baked. Avoid opening cover during
baking to prevent heat loss.
Slashed Top Butter Split Top
X Slashed Top Tic-Tac-Toe Top
For best results, use only beaten egg white
and water mixture to treat crust before bake
cycle begins. This mixture will ensure that
any topping will stick to the top of the bread
and not fall off when loaf is removed from pan.
Warning: Do not use vegetable oil cooking sprays for crust treatment, as mixture is
flammable when exposed to heating unit in bread maker.
10
After bread is baked: Remove loaf of bread from pan and place on rack to cool.
Lightly brush top surface with melted butter, margarine, vegetable or olive oil.
Sprinkle with desired seed, herb, cheese, etc. For a simple floured top, just sprinkle
top of loaf with flour. No butter, margarine or oil is needed.
CLEANING YOUR BREADMAKER
1. Unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. After bread is removed from pan, fill pan half full with warm water and a small
amount of dish soap. Set pan in an empty sink or on hot pad and allow pan to
soak for 5 to 10 minutes or until knead bar can be lifted off shaft. You may need
to twist bar slightly to loosen. The knead bar must soak in water before it can be
removed. If knead bar is difficult to remove after soaking, secure cross bar on
underside of pan while twisting knead bar to loosen. Wash inside of pan and
knead bar with a soft cloth, rinse and dry. Replace knead bar on shaft.
Do not immerse bread pan in water or wash in automatic
dishwasher as damage to bearing that turns the knead bar
can occur.
Be sure shaft in bottom of pan is kept clean to ensure knead
bar fits properly. Do not use any type of utensil or tool to clean
the gasket around the shaft, as damage will occur and result in leakage.
Do not use any abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on bread pan or knead bar
as damage to coating or finish can occur. The coating on the inside of bread
pan may change color over time, which is normal and does not affect the bread.
3. Wipe inside of oven chamber and outside surfaces of bread maker with a damp
cloth if necessary.
