2.1 Adding Ingredients
- Attach the kneading paddle to the shaft inside the bread pan.
- Add liquid ingredients first (water, milk, eggs, oil).
- Add dry ingredients next (flour, sugar, salt, dry milk).
- Create a small indentation in the center of the dry ingredients and add yeast. Ensure yeast does not come into direct contact with liquids or salt initially.
- Place the bread pan securely into the baking chamber of the machine. Close the lid.
2.2 Program Selection
- Plug the bread machine into a grounded electrical outlet. The display will illuminate.
- Press the "Menu" button to cycle through available programs (e.g., Basic, Whole Wheat, French, Dough, Jam, Bake).
- Use the "Loaf Size" button to select the desired loaf weight (e.g., 1.5 lb, 2.0 lb).
- Use the "Crust Color" button to select light, medium, or dark crust.
2.3 Starting and Stopping
- Press the "Start/Stop" button to begin the selected program. The machine will start kneading.
