BECOME FAMILIAR WITH CONTROL PANEL
Before using your bread maker, it is important that you understand how to use the control panel as this is the “brain” of the
machine. Review the following features to better understand what each button is designed to do and the options that are
available to you when using this machine.
SPECIAL NOTE ON CONTROL PANEL
If your bread maker is being used in a darkened room or in time delay mode overnight, you may notice flickering of the unlit
lights in the control panel. This is normal and means the control is working properly; don’t be concerned. When the
lights flicker, it simply indicates the control is checking the program and timer functions for great baking results.
BREAD SELECT BUTTON
The BREAD SELECT button lets you choose THREE different bread setting as
well as a dough setting. With each press of the Bread Select button, a red light
will glow next to a bread setting or the dough setting on the panel. The time
required to complete each setting is given on the control panel for reference as
follows:
Bread Select Settings Time to Complete in Hours and Minutes
BASIC…………………………………3:40
RAPID………………………………....3:10
WHOLE WHEAT……………………..3:50
DOUGH……………………………….1:20
The BASIC and RAPID settings can be used for almost any bread recipe
containing at least 50% bread flour. If a recipe contains less that 50% bread flour, then use the WHOLE WHEAT setting as
this setting features a longer knead cycle which is beneficial for whole grain flours. Active dry, fast rising or bread machine
yeast can be used at all bread settings as well as the dough setting. For best results, use fast rising or bread machine yeast at the
RAPID setting.
An audible alert will sound midway through the knead cycle at all bread and dough settings to let you know when to add
ingredients such as raisins nuts, etc. for specialty breads. This will prevent these added ingredients from becoming over mixed
or crushed. If you are not adding ingredients during the knead cycle, ignore the alert when it sounds.
CRUST COLOR BUTTON
The CRUST COLOR button lets you choose THREE different crust colors for your bread. With each press of the CRUST
COLOR button, a red light will glow next to Light, Medium or Dark on the control panel. Simply select the desired crust color
you wish for the bread recipe you are preparing. When preparing the small 1 pound loaf, we recommend you use the LIGHT or
MEDIUM crust color to prevent overbrowning of the smaller loaf.
TIME DELAY BUTTON
The TIME DELAY button lets you program the bread maker to start at a later time, which is especially convenient if you wish
to wake up to a fresh loaf of bread in the morning or come home to a fresh loaf for dinner. The timer can be programmed to
have the bread or dough done in 6,9, or 12 hours from when the machine is started. Simply prepare the recipe you wish to
make, place the bread pan into the bread maker, program for bread select and color and then press TIME DELAY button for
desired time option. A red light will glow next to one of the time options with each press of the button.
The TIME DELAY can be used with all bread settings providing non-perishable ingredients are used. The recipes that have
the
symbol can be used in the time delay mode. Active dry, fast rising or bread machine yeast can be used with the time
delay.
START/STOP BUTTON
Use the START/STOP button to turn the bread maker on and off. Before starting the bread maker, you must first program the
BREAD SELECT setting and the CRUST COLOR setting plus the TIME DELAY if being used. Then press START/STOP
once to turn bread maker on.
As the machine advances through the bread making process, a light will glow next to the cycle it is in, Knead, Rise or Bake.
When done, a green light will glow next to the Keep Warm cycle and an audible alert will sound. Turn bread maker off by
