RISE After the dough is kneaded, it is allowed to rise for a certain period of time. You may hear faint
clicking sounds during the rise as gentle heat is being provided to keep the chamber warm.
STIR-DOWN (1) After the dough has risen, it is then stirred down by the knead bar
(KNEAD) to remove excess carbon dioxide gas created by the yeast.
SPECIAL NOTE:
If using the dough setting, its cycle is complete at this time and ready for hand shaping, rising
and baking in your own oven. An audible alert will sound and the bread maker will turn off after
completion of the dough cycle.
RISE (2) The dough is then allowed to rise again, but for a shorter period of time.
STIR-DOWN (2) After the shorter rise time, the dough is again stirred down by the knead bar to remove excess
gas and also to shape the dough for the final rise. This final stir-down ensures that the bread will
have good texture.
RISE (3) The dough then goes into the final rise to achieve its maximum height. Again you may hear faint
clicking sounds during the rise as gentle heat is provided to keep the chamber warm.
BAKE The bread is then baked for specified time depending on the crust color selected: light, medium
or dark. An audible alert will sound when the bread is done and 0:00 will appear in display. If
bread maker is not turned off, it will automatically go into the keep warm mode for up to 3
hours. When the bread is removed, turn bread maker off by holding start/stop button down for 4
seconds or until red light goes out.
