TIMER BUTTONS
The TIMER buttons let 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
delay the start of the bread maker for up to 13 hours. Simply prepare the recipe you wish to make, place the bread pan into
the bread maker, program for bread select and color and then enter the number of hours and minutes between starting time
to desired finish time using the timer buttons. The UP TIMER button will scroll up in 10 minute intervals, whereas the
DOWN TIMER button will scroll down in 10 minute intervals. See TIMER DELAY section in this book for more details.
The delay start timer can be used with all six bread settings and the dough setting providing non-perishable ingredients are
used. The recipes that have the
symbol can be used in the delay start mode.
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, Bread Color and Timer if being used. To start the bread maker, press START/STOP button once. When
on, the red signal light under the word ON will glow. To turn bread maker off, press and hold the START/STOP button
down for about 3 seconds or until the red ON light goes out.
Once you have started the bread maker, the colon between the hours and minutes will flash and the minutes will begin to
count down. If not using the Delay Timer, words describing the actual cycle the bread maker is in will appear in the display
such as REST, KNEAD, RISE and BAKE so you know exactly what cycle the bread maker is in.
When the process time elapses, 0:00 will appear in the display and an audible alert will sound to let you know the bread is
done. Turn the bread maker off by holding down the START/STOP button until the red ON light goes off. Remove the
bread pan using potholders or oven mitt and place hot loaf of bread on a rack to cool.
If the bread pan is not removed from the bread maker immediately after baking, the bread maker will automatically go into
a Keep Warm mode for up to 3 hours to keep the bread warm. The red ON light will remain lit during the keep warm
period as a reminder. When bread pan is removed, turn bread maker off by holding down the START/STOP button until
the red ON light goes out.
If in the dough mode, the bread maker will turn off automatically and the red ON light will go out upon completion of the
cycle. Remove the pan containing the dough and shape/form as desired for conventional baking. Do not leave pan-
containing dough inside bread maker after it turns off as dough will continue to rise and could overfill the pan if left inside
bread maker too long. See “Dough” section for more details.
TOO HOT/TOO COLD WARNING - If the inside of oven chamber is too hot or too cold for making bread, the
words TOO HOT or TOO COLD will appear in the display along with an audible alert. You will need to remove the bread
pan from bread maker and allow the chamber to cool down or warm up accordingly. Typically TOO HOT will appear in
the display when you attempt to make consecutive loaves of bread. Allow the chamber to cool, with cover open, for 10 to
15 minutes or until the bread maker can be turned on without the warning going off. If TOO COLD appears in display,
move the bread maker into a warmer area for 15 minutes or until bread maker can be turned on without the warning going
off. If oven is too hot, the yeast can be killed; if too cold, the growth of yeast will be retarded.
CLEAN BEFORE USING -
SPECIAL NOTE: The bread pan is not immersible and should
never be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Do not immerse bread pan in water or put pan in automatic
dishwasher to clean. Immersing the pan in water can cause damage to the bearing that turns the knead
bar. Dishwasher cleaning can reduce the non-stick qualities of the non-stick finish, causing the bread to stick in the pan.
Only two parts, the bread pan and knead bar, need to be cleaned before making bread. Simply fill bread pan with a small
amount of warm water and dishwashing detergent. Wash the inside of the pan and knead bar with a soft dishcloth or
sponge. Empty the bread pan and rinse the inside and knead bar with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any
abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on bread pan or knead bar as damage to the non-stick coating can occur.
CAUTION: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other
liquid.
Wipe the inside of the chamber and the outside surfaces of the bread maker with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth if
necessary.
Your bread maker is now ready to use.
