off. If ‘col’ appears in display, move bread maker to a warmer area for 15 minutes or until machine can be turned on
without warning going off. If oven is too hot, the yeast can be killed; if too cold, the growth of the yeast will be retarded.
CLEAN BEFORE USING
Twist pan clockwise to unlock from bread maker, then lift out.
SPECIAL NOTE: Bread pan is not immersible and should never be washed in an automatic dishwasher.
Immersing pan in water can cause damage to the bearing that turns the knead bar. Dishwasher cleansers
can reduce the non-stick qualities of the coating, causing sticking of the bread.
Before using your bread maker for the first time, wash inside of pan and knead bar with hot soapy water and a soft cloth,
rinse and dry.
The knead bar lifts off shaft in bottom of pan. You may need to twist the bar slightly to remove.Do not use any abrasive
scouring pads or cleaner on pan or knead bar as damage may occur.
Wipe the inside of chamber and outside surfaces of machine with a soft damp cloth if necessary, dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.
Your bread maker is now ready to use.
HOW TO USE-BASIC STEPS IN MAKING BREAD
1.Position knead bar onto shaft in bottom of pan, matching hub shape to shaft shape for proper
positioning. Make sure knead bar is pushed down onto shaft all the way. You may need to twist bar
slightly to drop in place.
2.Add ingredients to pan in order listed in recipe, MAKING SURE to add all liquids to pan first, then the butter or
margarine, followed by the dry ingredients and finally the yeast. After dry ingredients are added to pan, tap pan to settle
ingredients, then level ingredients, pushing some of the dry mixture into corners of pan. This will prevent liquid from
seeping up from the corners. Make a slight well in center of dry ingredients and add the yeast to the well. This sequence of
adding ingredients to the pan is especially important when using the time delay to prevent the yeast from getting wet before
the bread making process begins.
3.Lock pan into bread maker by twisting counterclockwise. See directional arrow on edge of pan for
which way to turn to lock. If pan does not lock securely, remove pan and reposition until secured. Pan
must always be locked in place for bread maker to function properly. Close cover.
4.Plug read maker cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY. Press bread select button for type of
bread being made. The press crust color button for desired color, light, medium or dark. (Crust color does not apply to
one-hour setting). The total process time for the selections made will appear in display. Program time delay if being used.
5.Press start/stop button once to turn machine on. When on, red light will glow and colon between hours and minutes will
flash.
After bread maker has been turned on, programmed setting cannot be changed. To change settings, hold start/stop button
down until red light goes out. Then program control as desired and turn back on. The bread making process will then begin.
You may hear faint clicking sounds which is normal as gentle heat is being provided to warm the pan and ingredients for
