Breadmaker Owner’s Manual
Tips and Hints for Good Results
The most important step when using your Breadmaker is measuring your ingredients. It is very
important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient accurately. For best results, add ingredi-
ents in the order given in each recipe.
• All ingredients should be as fresh as possible. Packaged foods should not be past
the expiration date.
• Take care to measure ingredients accurately, using a good set of measuring cups
and spoons, or a good scale. Make sure to level all dry ingredients as you measure
them. Inaccurate measuring could cause unexpected results in your loaf of bread.
In particular, be precise in measuring the liquids.
• Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in recipe.
• Flour will deteriorate when exposed to moisture. Be sure to store your flour in an
airtight container.
• To keep your yeast active, store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Do
not use yeast if the date code on the packet has expired.
• When using the Delay Bake Timer, set it for as short a time as possible. Because
ingredients are partially combined in the bread pan, the dough may tend to dete-
riorate if left too many hours, especially on a warm or humid day.
• Do not use the Delay Bake Timer if the recipe includes perishable ingredients such
as eggs or milk.
• Ingredients, such as fruit or nuts can be added to the Fruit/Nut Dispenser after
placing ingredients in the bread pan.
• Keep the lid closed during the baking cycle. Opening it too frequently causes
uneven baking.
• If the baking cycle is complete but the bread needs more baking, you may add
more baking time using the Bake cycle for up to 2 hours of additional baking.
• After your bread has cooled completely, store it in a plastic bag or plastic wrap to
prevent it from drying out.
Guidelines for Packaged Mixes:
• For packaged bread mixes follow package directions to prepare a 1, 1-,
or 2-pound loaf.
• For packaged cake mixes: Use mixes 16-ounces or larger.
• For packaged muffin mixes: Use mixes 9-ounces or larger.
• For packaged quick bread (batter bread) mixes: Use mixes 13-ounce or larger
• Some brands and/or flavors do not work in the Breadmaker, such as swirl coffee
cakes.
• Follow package directions for adding correct amounts and temperature of water,
eggs, oil, and all other ingredients.
