Do not use perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs, cheese, and yogurt with the Delay Start function. To set the Delay Start Timer:

1. Add ingredients.
2. Select the program, crust color, and loaf size.
3. Set the number of hours ahead that you want the loaf to finish. By pressing the + or – buttons you can set the time for completion up to 13 hours later. Press to increase or decrease by 10-minute increments or hold the button down to scroll faster.
4. Press the START/STOP button to begin the delay start countdown.

During Bread Making
The Process
Once you start a program, the unit will automatically take care of each step of the process until the loaf is done. An indicator on the LCD will show the current function: Knead, Rise, Bake, or Keep Warm.

Knead 
Most bread types use 2 Knead cycles. The first Knead cycle quickly mixes the main ingredients. The second Knead cycle is longer and continues the mixing process. The dough is “punched down” before the longer cycle begins, prior to removing the kneading paddle.

Rise
Rise cycles help to ensure the perfect consistency of all yeast breads. During the Rise cycles, your bread maker will appear to be inactive. The display will show it is actually in Rise mode.

Keep Warm
Allows you to leave the finished bread in the machine to serve warm for up to 60 minutes. It also helps to keep the crust from becoming soggy if bread is not removed from the machine immediately after baking. Some crusts will darken slightly in Keep Warm.

To remove bread from the pan:

• a. Open the lid and use a pan hook to lift the bread pan handle. Using oven mitts, remove the bread pan by turning counterclockwise.
  
• b. Still using the oven mitts, hold the bottom of the bread pan, move the handle aside, and shake until the bread is released.
• For best results, allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes prior to slicing.

NOTE: If you have not removed the kneading paddle before baking, be sure to remove the kneading paddle from the finished loaf. Use caution; the kneading paddle will be extremely hot.

POWER FAILURE BACKUP
This unit is equipped with a power failure backup system. In case of any disruption of the power supply, the unit will store in memory the stage of the bread-making cycle and resume once power is restored. The power backup feature can maintain memory for a power failure for up to 15 minutes.

TYPES OF BREAD AND PROGRAMS

1. White – The White program uses primarily all-purpose or bread flour.
2. French – French bread requires special timing and temperatures to achieve that wonderful, crispy crust. Because they traditionally lack sugars or large amounts of fat, they tend to be lighter in color. Sweet – The Sweet Bread program is specifically designed to bake bread with high amounts of sugar, fats, and proteins. These added ingredients tend to increase the height and browning of the finished loaves.
3. Gluten-Free – Since gluten is found in most flour used in traditional bread baking, the ingredients to create gluten-free bread are unique. While they are “yeast breads,” the doughs are generally wet and often have a batter-like consistency. It is also important not to over-mix or over-knead gluten-free doughs. NOTE: For a list of Gluten-Free ingredients, refer to pages 15–16.
4. Artisan Dough – This program allows the preparation of artisan doughs. There are several long, slow, cool rises that will enhance the development of texture, taste, and crust in the final shaped and baked bread. This is a dough ONLY program. The dough can be baked using the Bake program, or shaped and baked in a conventional oven.

MEASURING INGREDIENTS

Important Note:
The MOST important rule of making bread is: Use exact measurements. This is the key to successful bread baking. When measuring wet ingredients, use only liquid measuring cups with the cups/ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact. Most recipes require liquids to be at room temperature.

When measuring dry ingredients, fill a dry measuring cup with a spoon and then level off the measurement with the back of a knife or a spatula to make sure the measurement is exact. Never use the cup to scoop the ingredients directly from the container (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Do not pack down, unless otherwise noted.

LOADING INGREDIENTS INTO THE BREAD PAN
Important Note:
The SECOND MOST important rule of making bread: Put the ingredients into the bread maker in the EXACT order given in the recipe. This means, in most cases:

• FIRST, liquid ingredients
• SECOND, dry ingredients
• LAST, yeast – Yeast must be separate from wet ingredients and salt.

Create a small crater in dry ingredients using your finger or a spoon, and place yeast within the crater. Make sure the yeast is fresh. Also, make sure ALL ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise noted (that is, between 75˚F– 90˚F). Temperatures too cool or too warm can affect the way the bread rises and bakes. NOTE: Water should not be hot, or it will affect rising. Last, it is a good idea to start with fresh ingredients. Fresh flour and fresh yeast are critical.

CLEANING AND CARE

Caution:
Unplug the machine before cleaning. Do not put the bread maker in water or in a dishwasher. Do not use scrubbing brushes or chemical cleansers, as these will damage the machine. Use only a mild, nonabrasive cleanser to clean the outside of the bread maker. Do not use metal utensils as they will damage the nonstick surface.

Baking chamber 
Remove all bread crumbs by wiping them away with a slightly damp cloth or a clean pastry brush. DO NOT bend the heating element, which is located on the inside of the bread maker. Lid – Wipe the inside of the lid with a sponge or damp cloth. Outer housing – Use only a mild, nonabrasive cleanser to clean the outside of the bread maker. Control panel – Wipe with a slightly damp cloth as necessary. Take care not to allow water or cleaning fluids under the buttons of the control panel.

Maintenance
Keep your bread maker clean at all times. Don’t worry if the color of the exterior of the baking pan changes over time. The color change is a result of steam and other moisture and does not affect the machine’s performance. If you have trouble removing the kneading paddle from bread pan, put warm, soapy water in the bread pan for 10 to 15 minutes – this will loosen the paddle.

TIPS AND HINTS

Important:
Use top-quality ingredients to make your bread-maker bread. The temperature of ingredients is important in bread-machine baking. Ideal temperatures are between 75°F–90°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperatures. Measure all ingredients accurately and have them ready before adding to the bread pan.

This helps to ensure that you measure each ingredient correctly, and do not find that you get down to the last (or nearly the last) ingredient and discover that it is not available in your pantry. When measuring ingredients, use liquid measuring cups for liquids, and dry measures for dry ingredients. Stir all flours first, spoon into the dry measure, and level off using the flat side of a knife or spatula – do not pack down.

Add ingredients to the pan in this order – liquids, melted or softened butter, salt and sugars (including honey, molasses, syrup), herbs, flours, dried milk, vital wheat gluten (if using), and yeast. Do not allow the yeast to touch the wet ingredients. See detailed instructions on page 11. Giving the kneading paddle a light coating with a nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil may make it easier to remove if it bakes into a loaf.
