HOW TO USE—BASIC STEPS IN MAKING BREAD
1. Place knead bar on shaft in bottom of bread pan, matching the opening of the knead bar
with the shape of the shaft. Make sure knead bar is pushed down onto the shaft and the
shaft area is clean. You may need to twist the bar slightly to drop in place.
Add knead bar to shaft in bread pan.
2. Add ingredients to pan in order listed in recipe, MAKING SURE to add any liquid
ingredients first, followed by dry ingredients, then butter or margarine and lastly the yeast.
After the dry ingredients are added to the pan, tap pan to settle, then level dry ingredients, pushing some of the flour
mixture into the corners of the pan. This will prevent any liquid from seeping up from the corners. Make a slight well
in center of dry ingredients and add the yeast to the well. This is especially important when using the Delay Start
Timer to prevent the yeast from getting wet.
Add liquid ingredients to pan first. Add dry ingredients to bread pan. Add butter/margarine to pan, cutting into 4
pieces, placing a piece in each corner.
Make a well in center of dry ingredients
and add yeast to well.
3. Lock the bread pan into bread maker, turning pan counterclockwise to lock
in place. Note the directional arrows on edge of pan as to which way to
turn for the lock position. Pan must be locked in place for the bread maker
to function properly. Make sure handle of pan is down, then close cover.

the BREAD SELECT button until desired bread setting (BASIC, BASIC

turn back on.
After bread maker is turned on, the colon between hours and minutes will flash and the word REST will appear in the
display to let you know which cycle the machine is in. The REST cycle time varies from 5 to 30 minutes depending on
bread selection made. During the REST period, you may hear clicking noises, which is normal as gentle heat is being
provided to warm the pan and ingredients.
As the cycle advances and the time counts down, the words KNEAD; RISE and BAKE will appear in display to let you
know which cycle the machine is in and the time remaining until the bread is done.
