Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from your bread maker.

Operating Instructions

Basic Bread Making Steps

1. Insert Kneading Paddle: Place the collapsible kneading paddle onto the shaft inside the baking pan. Ensure it is securely seated.
2. Add Ingredients: Add liquid ingredients first, followed by dry ingredients. Make sure yeast is added last, placed in a small well on top of the flour, away from liquids and salt. Refer to your recipe for precise measurements and order.
3. Insert Baking Pan: Place the baking pan into the bread maker and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Close the lid.
4. Add Mix-ins (Optional): If your recipe includes fruits, nuts, or other mix-ins, place them into the automatic fruit and nut dispenser.
5. Select Program: Use the SELECT dial to choose your desired program (e.g., BASIC, WHOLE WHEAT, GLUTEN FREE). The LCD display will show the program name, loaf size, crust color, and total time.
6. Adjust Settings:
   • Loaf Size: Press the SIZE button to select 1 lb, 1.5 lb, 2 lb, or 2.5 lb (if available for the selected program).
   • Crust Color: Press the CRUST button to select Light, Medium, or Dark.
   • Custom Settings: For advanced users, the MODIFY button allows adjustment of individual cycle times (preheat, knead, rise, bake) for custom programs.
7. Delay Start (Optional): If you wish to delay the start of the baking process, press the DELAY START button and use the SELECT dial to set the desired delay time.
8. Start Baking: Press the START | PAUSE button to begin the program. The bread maker will beep, and the display will show the remaining time.
9. Monitoring: The internal light can be activated to check progress through the viewing window. The automatic dispenser will release mix-ins at the appropriate time.
10. End of Cycle: Once the program is complete, the bread maker will beep and may enter a "KEEP WARM" cycle. Press the START | PAUSE button to cancel the "KEEP WARM" cycle.
11. Remove Bread: Using oven mitts, carefully remove the baking pan from the bread maker. Invert the pan onto a wire rack to release the bread. If the paddle remains in the bread, carefully remove it using a non-metallic utensil.
12. Cooling: Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing.
