Setup and First Use
Unpacking

Before First Use
- Wipe the exterior of the bread maker with a damp cloth.
- Wash the bread pan and kneading paddle with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
- Ensure the kneading paddle is securely attached to the shaft inside the bread pan.
- Place the bread maker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
Operating Instructions
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients in the order specified by your recipe, typically liquids first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast last. Ensure the kneading paddle is in place before adding ingredients.
Selecting a Program
The Breadman TR850 features multiple pre-programmed cycles for various bread types. Refer to the control panel and program chart (usually found in the original manual's recipe section) to select the appropriate program for your desired bread. Common programs include Basic, Whole Wheat, French, Sweet, Dough, and Bake.
Starting and Stopping
- Press the "Start/Stop" button to begin the selected program.
- To stop a program, press and hold the "Start/Stop" button for a few seconds until the unit resets.
Removing Bread
Once the baking cycle is complete, the bread maker will typically beep. Unplug the unit and carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts. Invert the pan to release the bread. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
- Always unplug the bread maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle: Wash with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as this can damage the non-stick coating. If the kneading paddle is stuck, fill the pan with warm water and let it soak for 30 minutes before attempting to remove it.
- Exterior: Wipe with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
- Interior: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the interior of the baking chamber. Remove any crumbs or residue.
Storage
Store the bread maker in a clean, dry place. Ensure the bread pan and kneading paddle are clean and dry before storing them inside the unit.
Troubleshooting Guide
Before contacting customer support, please consult the following table for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bread does not rise | Expired yeast, incorrect water temperature, too much salt, not enough sugar. | Check yeast expiration date. Use lukewarm water (105-115°F / 40-46°C). Ensure correct ingredient measurements. |
| Bread is too dense | Too much flour, not enough liquid, wrong program selected. | Measure flour accurately (spoon into cup, level off). Adjust liquid slightly. Select appropriate program for the recipe. |
| Bread pan sticks | Damaged non-stick coating, residue buildup. | Ensure pan is clean and dry before use. Do not use metal utensils. If coating is damaged, pan may need replacement. |
| Kneading paddle stuck in bread | Common occurrence. | Remove paddle after bread cools. A small hook tool (often included with original bread makers) can assist. |
