Operating Instructions
Basic Bread Making Process

- Close Lid: Close the lid securely.
- Select Program: Use the "MENU" button to select your desired program (e.g., Basic Bread, Whole Wheat). Refer to the recipe book for specific program recommendations.
- Select Loaf Size/Crust Color: Use the "LOAF SIZE" and "CRUST COLOR" buttons to adjust settings as needed.
- Start Baking: Press the "START/STOP" button to begin the program. The machine will automatically knead, rise, and bake.
- Remove Bread: Once the program is complete, the machine will beep. Unplug the machine and carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts.
- Cool Bread: Invert the bread pan onto a wire rack to release the bread. If the kneading blade remains in the bread, remove it carefully with the provided metal hook after the bread has cooled slightly.
