Invert bread pan and shake until loaf falls out. Place loaf of bread onto a cooling rack for at least 15 to 30 minutes for
easier slicing.
If bread is not removed immediately after the cycle is complete the bread maker will automatically go into a Keep Warm
mode for up to 3 hours. The ON light will remain lit during this keep warm period as a reminder. When removing the
bread pan during the keep warm period, always use potholders or oven mitt as pan will be hot. Turn bread maker off by
holding START/STOP button down until ON light goes out. Unplug cord from outlet after use. If the bread maker is not
turned off during this 3 hour Keep Warm period, it will automatically shut itself off and the signal light will go out. Unplug

bake cycle, as these surfaces are hot.
HOW TO USE DOUGH SETTING
The DOUIGH setting will prepare dough for you for hand shaping/forming and baking in your own oven. Use this setting
when you wish to make dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, donuts, bread sticks or even traditional shaped loaves of bread. The
Delay Start Timer CAN be used with the DOUGH setting, however, the Bread Color button CANNOT be used as the
dough will not be baked.
Follow these steps for using the DOUGH setting:
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 shaft and the shaft area is clean.
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 dry ingredients are added to the pan, tap pan several
times to settle the ingredients, then push some of the flour mixture into the corners of pan. This prevents liquid from
seeping up from the corners. Make slight well in center of flour and add the yeast to well. This is especially important
when using the Delay Start Timer to prevent the yeast from getting wet.
3. Lock bread pan into bread maker, turning the pan counterclockwise to lock in place. Pan must be locked in place for
the bread maker to function properly. Make sure handle of pan is down, then close cover.
4. Plug bread maker cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY. Press the BREAD SELECT button until the word
DOUGH appears in display. The process time of 1:20 (1 hour, 20 minutes) will also appear in display. If you pass by
the DOUGH setting continue to press the BREAD SELECT button until DOUGH appears. Program Delay Start Timer
if desired.
After the bread maker has been turned on, the programmed settings cannot be changed. If you wish to change
settings, hold START/STOP button down until red ON light goes out. Then program control as desired and
turn back on.
5. Press START/STOP button once to turn bread maker on. Press LOCK button, if featured. When turned on, the red
light under the word ON will glow, the colon between 1:20 or programmed time will begin to flash. The dough will mix,
then be kneaded and allowed to rise before being stirred down. At this time, 0:00 will appear in the display and an audible
alert will sound to let you know the dough is done. Remove the dough from the pan and follow recipe directions to
complete the recipe. The bread maker will automatically turn itself off after the dough cycle is complete, the red ON light
will go out and the ‘LOCK’ button will automatically be released. Unplug cord from electrical outlet after cycle is
complete.
