Things You Should Know About Your Breadmaker
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug--one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
Tamper-Resistant Screws
This appliance is equipped with tamper-resistant screws to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel (see insert for a list of Black & Decker Company-Owned or Authorized Service Centers).
Electrical Cord
The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) listing, depending on the country. When using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.
Getting To Know Your Breadmaker
Quick Tips
- Your breadmaker makes large 1.5 or extra large 2 lb loaves.
- There are five settings including one for dough or pasta.
- The "Rapid Bake" setting can produce variations of basic white bread in less than 2 hours. This setting can only be used with recipes supplied (see pg. 20). You cannot use the timer with this selection. This setting cannot handle heavier recipes such as whole grain because of its shortened rising cycle.
- Depending on the recipe you select, the "Dough/Pasta" setting will let you produce dough that can be shaped into dinner rolls, pizza, long loaves, challah, pretzels, filled braids, or more. For Pasta, be sure to use pasta or semolina flour. Pasta dough should be processed through a pasta maker or pasta shaper to form the desired shape. Consult the Cookbook section of this manual.
- The Crust Control function lets you choose "Regular" or "Dark" crust on the Basic, Rapid Bake, or Sweet settings. It cannot be used on the Whole Grain or Dough/Pasta settings.
- The "Keep Warm" function begins automatically after bread is baked. It keeps baked bread warm up to an hour after the baking is done. This function stops after 60 minutes or when the unit is unplugged, or the Start/Reset button is pressed.
- An "Add-Ingredient" function signals with beeps when it's time to add ingredients such as fruits or nuts to recipes used with any setting except Rapid Bake. A beep signals before kneading is completed to let you know when to add ingredients. This feature helps keep fruit or nuts whole (See "Add-Ingredient Function" pg. 10 for more details). If you use the TIMER to delay baking, you may add all ingredients at once and bypass this function, however, your fruit or nuts may get "chopped" and blended into the bread.
- Do not cover the breadmaker with towels or other material that may prevent steam from escaping. Some steaming from vents is normal. Because of escaping steam, you should keep the breadmaker several inches away from cabinets while making bread.
- Do not place any objects on top of the breadmaker.
- IMPORTANT: Add ingredients in the order they are specified in the recipe. For best results, accurate measuring of ingredients is very important. Do not put larger quantities than recommended into the Baking Pan as it may produce poor results and may damage the breadmaker.

Control Panel Settings & Functions
The control panel features a display, buttons for Clock, Timer, and Start/Reset, and indicator lights.
1. Display
- The black arrow at the right side of the display indicates your bread setting choice; the left side arrow indicates the Dough/Pasta setting and Crust Color choices.
- When set, the digital clock will show either the current time of day, or, when the breadmaker is operating, the time it will take for your bread to be completed under the selected setting.
- Shows minute-by-minute time countdown.
- Indicates troubleshooting messages.
5. Indicator Lights
- The red "on" light indicates that the breadmaking operation has started. When the cycle is complete, the red light will flash for 60 minutes in its "Keep Warm" cycle. If you do not remove the bread after 60 minutes, it will simply remain on to show you that the unit is still plugged in.
- The green "timer" light indicates that the timer function is on. When the actual breadmaking operation begins, the green light will go off, and the red light will come on.
Bread Type Setting Descriptions
NOTE: The number in parentheses following each setting description represents the total baking time. Each setting begins with a preheat period which delays the mixing cycle until the desired temperature is reached within the oven chamber. The preheat cycle does not add time to the Bread program.
BASIC BREAD/Regular Crust or BASIC BREAD/Dark Crust (3:50 hours)
This setting is used for breads which primarily use white flour, though some recipes may include small amounts of whole wheat flour as well. In the U.S., be sure to use Bread Flour; in Canada, you may use Canadian All-Purpose Flour or Bread Flour. Follow recipes carefully. Basic Bread/Regular Crust will produce good results when you are using ingredients such as cheese, nuts, or cornmeal as they tend to brown easily. Choose Basic Bread/Dark Crust, to produce a loaf with a darker crust without lengthening the baking time.
RAPID BAKE/Regular Crust or RAPID BAKE/Dark Crust (1:58 hours)
This setting is used only to make variations of basic white bread quickly whether you choose a "Regular" or "Dark" crust. Refer to the recipe section of this booklet for a complete list of all recipes that can be used with this setting. This setting cannot be used successfully to make breads other than those specified due to the shorter rising time of this cycle.
SWEET/Regular Crust or SWEET/Dark Crust (3:50 hours)
Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice, large amounts of sugar, cheese, or added sweet ingredients such as raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate. Baking temperature is lower to prevent burning.
WHOLE GRAIN (4:10 hours)
This setting is used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats, or bran. This setting has a longer rise cycle and preheat cycle to allow heavier grains to expand. Generally, whole wheat/multi-grain breads are shorter and denser than Basic or Sweet breads. You cannot use the Crust Color selections with this setting.
DOUGH/PASTA (2:00 hours)
This setting makes bread-style dough and pasta dough. Dough can be shaped to make pizza, rolls, pretzels, long loaves or braids that must then be baked in a conventional oven. It can also prepare pasta dough that must then be processed and shaped through a pasta maker. Pasta dough should be removed from the Breadmaker after the "Add-Ingredient" signals (in 40 - 45 minutes). Follow pasta recipes on page 30 for specific directions.
How To Use Your Breadmaker
The four bread making settings in this unit will combine ingredients, knead, and bake bread from start to finish – automatically. The Dough/Pasta setting makes dough for a variety of recipes but you must shape and bake the dough yourself in a conventional oven or process it in a pasta maker. To delay completion, the Automatic Timer may be programmed to make bread while you are at work or asleep. (See "Setting the Timer" pg. 10)
The Cookbook section of this book includes recipes that have been thoroughly tested in Black & Decker's own test kitchen to ensure best results in both the United States and Canada. Flours, cornmeal, and a few other ingredients vary widely between the two countries.
NOTE: The term, "All-Purpose Flour" for example, is applied to two totally different types of flour depending on whether it is purchased in the U.S. or Canada. Canadian "All-Purpose Flour" will produce good to excellent results in this Breadmaker; whereas American "All-Purpose Flour" will produce poor results.
Therefore, each recipe is presented with two sets of ingredients – one for each country. Since ingredients are different, it is important that you double check to be sure you are following the recipe appropriate for ingredients in your country (U.S. or Canada) before using your Breadmaker.
Most North American national brand flours and yeasts will produce good results. Keep in mind that the recipes included here have been created by our Home Economists specifically for this automatic breadmaker (Model B1620) and may not produce acceptable results in other similar breadmakers.
General Instructions
For all SETTINGS (including Dough/Pasta) follow these instructions:
- Open the lid, grasp the wire handle with two hands, and turn the Baking Pan to the left "Unlock" position, then remove it by pulling straight up on the handle. It is important to remove the Baking Pan from the unit rather than add ingredients into the Pan while it is in place to avoid accidentally spilling ingredients into the oven chamber.
- Attach the Mixing Paddle onto the shaft inside the Baking Pan by lining up the flat side of the Paddle with the flat side on the shaft. Gently push the Paddle onto the shaft.
- Select a recipe from the Cookbook section of this booklet. When following the recipe:
- Always add ingredients into the Baking Pan in the order they are listed.
- Measure ingredients carefully & accurately. To measure liquids, use a see-through measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level.
- When measuring dry ingredients, use standard dry measuring cups or measuring spoons and level off the ingredients with the straight-edge of a knife or metal spatula.
- Yeast is always added last. Be sure that the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients, salt or shortening.
- The Baking Pan can be installed in TWO POSITIONS. There are notches on two sides of the rim of the Baking Pan. Be sure to have a notched side facing toward you when you put the Pan into the oven chamber. Place the Baking Pan into the unit in a left diagonal position as illustrated. Using both hands, rotate the Pan in a clockwise direction until the notch on the Pan lines up with the raised pointer located on the top surface of the oven chamber. Fold the handle down and click into place.
Inaccurate measurements, even if only slightly off, can make a difference in results.
Operating the Breadmaker
- Close the lid and plug into an outlet (120 volt). Two ARROWS will come up in the display window indicating BASIC BREAD TYPE with a REGULAR crust and 12:00 AM will flash in the display window. If you wish to use the TIMER to delay baking, you will first have to set the correct time of day. However, if you want to start the breadmaking operation now, it is not necessary to set the CLOCK.
- To bake a Basic loaf of bread with a Regular Crust, simply press the START/RESET Button. However, you can choose a different setting for your recipe by pressing the BREAD TYPE button on the pad. Each time you press BREAD TYPE, the arrow in the display window will point to the next selection (i.e. Rapid Bake, Sweet Bread, etc.) If you are using a recipe that calls for the Basic, Rapid Bake, or Sweet Bread setting, choose a crust color by pressing the CRUST COLOR button until the arrow in the window lines up with either "Regular" or "Dark."
- Press the START/RESET Button once until it beeps and the red "on" indicator light comes on. The flashing 12:00 AM will be replaced by, for example, 3:50, if you chose a recipe for the Basic Bread setting (regardless of whether you chose "Regular" or "Dark" crust). It will count down the remaining time in one-minute intervals (3:49, 3:48, etc.) until the bread is done. When the baking is complete, several beeps will sound to alert you that the bread is ready and the red indicator light will begin flashing. In addition, a flashing 12:00 AM will reappear in the display screen.
- This Breadmaker is designed with a Keep Warm function that automatically begins when baking is complete. The red light will continue to flash for up to 60 minutes after baking is complete and will keep bread warm during that time. At the end of the hour, the Keep Warm cycle will end and the light will remain on constantly, indicating the unit is still plugged in. The bread should then be removed as soon as possible to avoid getting soggy. You may remove the Baking Pan any time during the Keep Warm cycle. To turn off the Keep Warm feature before the 60 minutes are up, simply press the START/RESET button and hold it until the display time clears.
- NOTE: The Keep Warm feature does not function for the DOUGH/PASTA setting since baking is not involved in this program. If you leave finished dough in the unit over a period of time, it may over-rise and produce poor results. For best results, remove dough at the end of the program and follow the recipe directions for shaping, rising, and baking.
- This unit has a convenient Viewing Window so that you may watch the progress of the bread as it is mixed, kneaded, and baked. Occasionally, some moisture may form in the window during the rising cycle. If moisture forms, you may lift the lid to look inside during the mixing and kneading stages, however, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING CYCLE (approximately the last hour) as this may cause the bread to underbake. Most of the moisture should disappear during the baking cycle.
- To remove the Baking Pan, use pot holders or oven mitts, grasp the wire handle with both hands and turn the Pan to the left until the notch in the pan lines up with the unlock arrow on the back wall of the oven chamber. Pull straight up on the Baking Pan. Fold and lock the wire handle down. Turn the pan on its side and gently shake the bread out onto a wire cooling rack. The Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle have a non-stick coated finish so that the bread should come out easily. Do not use metal utensils to remove bread as they may scratch the non-stick coating. If you have difficulty removing bread from the Baking Pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the pan over and shake the loaf out. Allow the bread to cool before slicing. If the Mixing Paddle remains in the bottom of your loaf, allow the loaf to cool then use a plastic spoon or rubber spatula to remove the paddle. Do not use a knife or other sharp metal object as this will scratch the non-stick coating on the Mixing Paddle.
Using The "Add-Ingredient" Function
- All settings, except for Rapid Bake, have a built-in "Add-Ingredient" function which signals with beeps when it's time to add ingredients such as fruits or nuts. The beeps sound before kneading is complete to let you know it's time to add the ingredients. The actual time of the beeps can vary up to 5 minutes depending on the room temperature at the time when you started the bread making program. The following chart can be used for reference:
Setting | When to add Ingredients after Starting Program | Time Displayed when Beeper Signals |
---|---|---|
Basic Bread | 30-35 minutes into program | 3:15-3:20 |
Sweet Bread | 30-35 minutes into program | 3:15-3:20 |
Whole Grain | 37-42 minutes into program | 3:28-3:33 |
Dough | 40-45 minutes into program | 1:15-1:20 |
- This function lets you add ingredients so that they don't get chopped up by the Mixing Paddle and blended into your loaf. If you are using the TIMER to delay baking (perhaps while you are asleep or away from home), you may bypass this function by ignoring the signal and adding ingredients in the order called for in the recipe, however, you may end up with somewhat broken pieces.
- To add ingredients, raise the lid and carefully pour the ingredients into the Baking Pan. CAUTION: It is important to avoid spilling ingredients into the oven chamber.
Setting The Timer (For Delayed Completion)
Use the TIMER when you would like to delay the completion of your bread or dough/pasta. This feature allows you to delay bake time for up to 13 hours. For example, it lets you set the TIMER at 7 p.m. one evening so that you can wake to fresh bread by 8 a.m. the following morning. NOTE: The TIMER cannot be used with the Rapid Bake setting.
To set the TIMER, follow these instructions:
NOTE: Be sure you have followed the "How to Use Your Breadmaker" steps 1-6 in preparing the ingredients in the Baking Pan. It is not recommended that you use the "Delayed Completion" function and TIMER with recipes that call for fresh ingredients that might spoil such as eggs, fresh milk, buttermilk, or cheese.
- To use the TIMER, you must first set the digital clock to the correct time of day. To change the flashing 12:00 AM, first press the CLOCK button. While the "12" is flashing, the hour can be set by immediately pressing the "Up" and "Down" arrows to change the time in 1 hour intervals. Make sure the "AM" or "PM" displayed is appropriate. While the correct hour is flashing in the display, press the CLOCK button again to set the minutes. If the hour display has stopped flashing before the minutes have been set, press the CLOCK button twice. While the "00" is flashing, the minutes can be set by pressing the "Up" and "Down" arrows. You may hold either arrow to rapidly change the time in 5 minute intervals, or press and release to change 1 minute at a time.
- Once the clock is set, the TIMER can easily be set following similar steps. To wake up to the aroma of fresh baked bread at 8:30 AM for example, press and hold the TIMER button until TIMER appears on the display, and the "12" of 12:00 AM flashes as it did when setting the clock above. While the "12" is flashing, press the "Up" or "Down" arrows to change the "12" to "8", checking to make sure "AM" is displayed. To set the minutes, press the TIMER button while the hour setting is flashing. If the hour setting has stopped flashing before the minutes have been set, press and hold the TIMER button. With the hour setting flashing again, immediately press the TIMER button to set the minutes. While the "00" is flashing, the minutes can be set to "30" using the "Up" or "Down" arrows. When the "30" stops flashing and the current time is displayed, the timer is set.
- To start the delayed completion timer, press the TIMER button. The completion time will flash briefly and be replaced by the current time in the display, and the green TIMER light will come on. If the green light does not come on, and "13 Hr TIMER ERR" appears on the display, you have set the TIMER for longer than the maximum 13 hour delay. To reset the TIMER hold the TIMER button until the hour setting flashes, and the time can be changed using the "Up" and "Down" arrows. If the green light does not come on, and "0 Hr TIMER ERR" appears, the TIMER has been set for a delayed completion time which is shorter than the actual bake time (for example 3:50 is the bake time for Sweet Bread). Reset the TIMER for a longer delayed completion time.
- To cancel the TIMER function, press the TIMER button and the green light will go out.
- To check the completion time while the green TIMER light is on, press the TIMER button twice. To check the completion time while the red light is on, press the TIMER button once.
- When the actual breadmaking operation begins, the green "timer" light will go out, the red "on" light will come on, and total bake time (3:50 for Sweet Bread) will appear on the display. The bake time will count down in one minute intervals. When the end of the countdown is reached, a beeping signal will sound and your bread is complete. The red light will now begin flashing to show the Breadmaker has automatically activated the 60 minute "Keep Warm" function.
Troubleshooting
Specific questions about the breadmaker functions and problems with ingredients or recipes are addressed in the "Need Help?" section beginning on pg. 31.
- If there is an operational problem with the unit, you may see a hyphen, colon, double hyphen (- : --) message in the display window. This means there is an operational/mechanical malfunction. DO NOT USE THE UNIT. Unplug the unit and contact your local service center for repair. Call the toll-free number on the cover of this booklet to ask for the location of the Black & Decker service center nearest you.
- If the START/RESET button is pressed and the word "HOT" appears in the display window, it indicates that the unit has not cooled sufficiently after baking to use immediately again. Open the lid, remove the Baking Pan and allow the inside of the unit to cool. Once the unit has cooled sufficiently, pressing the START/RESET button will immediately start the breadmaking operation.
- For specific problems with Bread/Dough results, see the Troubleshooting guide on the next page:
Troubleshooting Guide
NOTE: The number one cause for poor results is improper measurement of ingredients (see page 8). The checklist below offers several possible solutions. Try one adjustment at a time and only make one change per loaf. If results do not improve with the first adjustment, move to the next possible solution.
RESULTS | Loaf Rises Then Falls "Cratered Loaf" | Loaf Rises Too High "Mushroom Loaf" | Loaf Does Not Rise Enough | Flat Loaf Little To No Rising | Crust Too Dark | Uncooked Or Partially Cooked | Not Mixed Or Partially Mixed | Gnarly Knotted Top | Loaf Core Texture Heavy & Dense | High Altitude Adjustment |

Slicing & Storing Bread
For best results, allow loaves to cool on a wire rack 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. You may use an electric knife (such as the Black & Decker Slice Right™ Electric Knife Model EK300) for even slices. Otherwise, use a sharp knife with a serrated blade. For sandwich slices, place the loaf on its side and slice across.
Store bread tightly covered (resealable style bags or plastic containers work well) at room temperature up to three days. If weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator. For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer. If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room temperature before serving. Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially-made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into 1/2" or 1" cubes and used in favorite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or stuffing.
Care & Cleaning
CAUTION: To avoid electric shock, unplug the unit and allow the Breadmaker to cool before cleaning.
For best performance and maintenance, it is recommended to clean the breadmaker after each use as follows:
Outer Body and Oven Chamber
Wipe the outer body of the unit with a damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge. Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe out any flour, crumbs, or other materials from the oven chamber.
Lid
This unit has a removable Lid for easy cleaning. Open the Lid halfway and pull it out towards you. Wipe it with a damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE THE LID in liquid. Clean the viewing window with a moist soft cloth (not paper towel), then be sure to wipe it dry.
CAUTION: DO NOT clean window with a commercial glass cleaner!
When reinstalling the lid, be sure the slots on the lid are fully inserted into the posts on the hinge of the Breadmaker. This will prevent damage when closing the lid. If you feel resistance when you try to close the lid, stop immediately and reposition it. The lid should close easily without any force being applied.
Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle
Both the Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle have a non-stick coated surface. Do not use any harsh cleaners or utensils on these parts as scratching may occur. Over time, the non-stick surface may change in color due to moisture and steam. This is normal and has no effect on its use or quality.
Remove the Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle from the oven chamber before cleaning. Wipe the outside of the Baking Pan with a damp cloth. Be careful not to damage the rubber seal under the shaft. NEVER TOTALLY IMMERSE THE BAKING PAN in water. You can hand wash the inside of the Baking Pan with soapy water. The Mixing Paddle should be removed from the shaft and the depressed area under the Paddle cleaned. If the Mixing Paddle is hard to remove from the Baking Pan after baking, fill the Pan with hot water and let soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Next, pour out the water, turn the Pan over and wiggle the Paddle loose while holding the winged coupling on the bottom of the Pan. Using a toothpick or soft kitchen brush clean out any dough left in the hole of the Paddle.
CAUTION: None of the breadmaker parts are dishwasher-safe. DO NOT place the Baking Pan, Removable Lid, or Mixing Paddle in the dishwasher.
Storing The Unit
Be sure to dry all parts before storing and wipe any moisture from the Viewing Window. To prevent loss, you may want to store the Mixing Paddle on the shaft. Close the Lid and do not store anything on top of the Lid.
Easy-Lift Grips
If you are storing the unit in a cabinet or closet, use the handy built in grips at the bottom of the unit to help you lift the breadmaker easily.

Bread and Dough Ingredients
Many ingredients differ between Canada and the United States. Cheese, confectioner's (icing) sugar, and cornmeal are just a few ingredients that vary between the two countries. The major difference is in flour.
Flours
Canadian flours are milled from harder wheats so breads can be successfully made from national brands of both All-Purpose Flour and Bread Flour. U.S. "All-Purpose Flour" will produce poor results and should not be used with this unit. In the U.S., it is important to use "Bread Flour" for tall, even-textured loaves.
- Bread flour is processed from hard wheat and is high in the protein substance called gluten. When mixed and kneaded, the gluten stretches and incorporates air bubbles to produce a light, fine-textured loaf. The stretchy resilience of gluten makes this kind of flour most tolerant to high temperatures, altitude, or high humidity.
- Canadian "All-Purpose Flour" is easy to find and has been extensively tested with the Canadian recipes included in this book with good results. Canadian Bread Flour may also be used with good results.
- Whole wheat and multi-grain flours contain the bran and germ of the grain. Although higher in fiber, these flours are lower in gluten than bread flour. Rye flour does not contain any gluten and therefore, must be used in combination with other flours. Whole wheat, multi-grain and rye flour typically produce shorter, denser loaves. Whole wheat flours vary greatly between the United States and Canada. Be sure to consult the recipes for tips on successful whole wheat breads. The recipes have been developed and tested using nationally available brands of flour.
Fat
- Butter, margarine or vegetable shortening are often interchangeable in most bread recipes. Vegetable oil should not be substituted for shortening, butter or margarine (fat adds flavor and tenderness to the dough). Low-fat (diet) margarines are high in water content but may be substituted with acceptable results for people on a low fat diet.
Salt
- In very small amounts, salt adds flavor and controls the rising action of the yeast, allowing the dough to rise evenly. In high altitude areas, additional salt may be needed to improve bread results, however, keep in mind that too much salt may prevent the bread from rising.
Liquid
- Milk--whole, 1% or 2% fat, skim, buttermilk, or reconstituted (powdered) dry milk, and water are the most commonly used liquids in bread recipes. Milk provides a soft crust, and gives bread a velvety texture. If your recipe calls for powdered milk and you prefer to use fresh milk, simply substitute the milk for the water and powder. Water makes a crisper crust. Some recipes call for juice to be added as a flavor enhancer.
Sweeteners
- Natural sweeteners, such as white or brown sugar, honey, and molasses help the yeast in a recipe to grow. Sugar serves as food for the yeast. Without sugar, the yeast will not grow and the bread will not rise. The balance of sugar, salt, and yeast is a very important part of the bread making process. Sweeteners enhance the bread flavor and the browning process. If you prefer to use a sugar substitute, your baking results may vary with the type and amount of sugar substitute used.
Yeast
- Yeast is a heat-sensitive plant that feeds on the sugar in dough. Too much heat will kill the yeast, too little will slow the yeast action. Check the expiration date to be sure the yeast is fresh. The recipes in this cookbook have been tested with Bread Machine yeast. If you prefer to use Traditional Dry yeast, Rapid Rise yeast or Quick Rise yeast, you will have to increase yeast amount by 1/4 teaspoon in your recipe; for example - if your recipe called for 1 teaspoon of yeast, increase the amount to 1-1/4 teaspoon. See the test for yeast freshness on the next page.
Tips For Getting The Best Results
- Use only fresh ingredients.
- In the U.S.: Use Bread Flour; In Canada: Use All-Purpose Flour or Canadian Bread Flour.
- Use lukewarm water – not cold water.
- Measure ingredients accurately and level off dry ingredients with the flat side of a knife or metal spatula. (See page 8 for measuring techniques).
Tips For Handling Dough
- When recipes call for a "lightly floured surface," use about 1 to 2 tablespoons flour on the surface. You may want to lightly flour your fingers or rolling pin for easy dough manipulation.
- Recipes referring to a "greased/oiled" bowl call for about 1 tablespoon oil or soft vegetable shortening spread on the bottom and sides of the bowl. You may prefer to use a non-stick vegetable spray to "grease" the bowl to cut down on added fats and calories.
- When you let dough "rest" and "rise" according to a recipe, place it in a warm, draft-free area. For best results, cover the dough with waxed paper and a clean, dry towel. If the dough does not double in size, it may not produce a tender product.
- Dough may be wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer for later use. Bring the dough to room temperature before using.
Yeast Freshness Test
The following test can be used to determine whether your yeast is stale and inactive:
- Place 1/2 cup of lukewarm water into a small cup or bowl.
- Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the surface.
- Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow to sit for 10 minutes undisturbed.
- The mixture should foam and produce a strong yeast aroma. If this does not occur, fresh yeast should be purchased.

Questions About The Breadmaker :
- Q1: What do I do if the mixing paddle stays in the loaf? Is this normal? How do I remove the paddle?
- The mixing paddle may stay in the loaf when the bread is removed from the bread pan. This happens because the crust forms around the paddle during the baking process. Allow the loaf to cool before removing the mixing paddle (the inside of the loaf is VERY HOT- you may burn yourself if you try to remove the paddle too soon.) When the loaf has cooled, use a plastic spoon or rubber spatula to remove the paddle. Gently insert the spoon/spatula into the bottom of the loaf and loosen the crust from the paddle. Pull the paddle out. DO NOT use a sharp object (knife, metal utensil) as it will scratch the non-stick coating on the mixing paddle.
- Q2: What do I do if the mixing paddle is hard to remove from the baking Pan after baking?
- Remove the Baking Pan from the unit and fill with hot water allowing it to soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Next, pour out the water, turn the Pan over and wiggle the Paddle loose while holding the winged coupling on the bottom of the Pan. Using a toothpick or soft kitchen brush clean out any dough left in the hole of the Paddle.
- Q3: Is there any time that I should not use the delayed start feature?
- Yes, when the recipe calls for perishable ingredients such as milk, cheese, buttermilk, or eggs. These foods should not stay at room temperature for an extended period of time. With some recipes, you may substitute powdered milk.
- Q4: Can I open the lid while the breadmaker is operating?
- This breadmaker is designed with a window in the lid to let you watch your bread's progress. Quick checks are fine in the early stages of operation and of course to add ingredients when the beeper sounds. However, don't open the lid too frequently during operation as the change in air temperature may cause the loaf to fall. Avoid opening the lid once the baking period begins--the last hour of the cycle. Sometimes condensation forms on the window after initial mixing and kneading. It usually disappears once the baking cycle starts so you should be able to get a clear view of your rising loaf.
- Q5: Where is the OFF button?
- Since the breadmaker shuts off its "processing" automatically once the bread or dough cycle is complete and the "Keeps Warm" cycle ends, there is no OFF button. However, the power light will remain on until the unit is unplugged or the Start/Reset button is pressed and held.
- Q6: If the power goes out while I'm in the middle of a breadmaking cycle, will my Breadmaker continue to process my bread once the power comes back on?
- The breadmaker will only finish making bread if the power returns within 20 seconds. Unfortunately, if your power outage is longer, you will have to discard the unfinished bread and start the process from the beginning.
- Q7: What is the minimum and maximum time cycle can be delayed?
- You can delay baking for a maximum of 13 hours for any bread type setting except rapid bake. The rapid bake setting is designed to bake bread in under 2 hours. The minimum time you can delay baking is one minute longer than the completion time for the selected bread type setting.
Questions About Ingredients/Recipes :
- Q8: When do I add raisins, nuts, etc. to the bread?
- This breadmaker has an "Add-Ingredient" function that signals with an audible tone to let you know when you may add raisins, nuts, caraway seeds, etc. (NOTE: The time of the tone varies from one setting to another. Consult the "Add-Ingredient" chart on page 10.) The "Add-Ingredient" feature helps reduce the breaking up of added foods. If you are using the Timer and it is more convenient, you may add ingredients at the start.
- Q9: May I use a sugar substitute in place of sugar?
- Sugar is necessary for the yeast to produce a light loaf with a good height. Results may vary with the type and amount of sugar substitute used. If you are going to use an artificial sweetener choose one that is aspartame based rather than saccharin based.
- Q10: May I omit the salt or sugar from the recipe?
- No, both the sugar and salt play an important role in the bread making process. Salt prevents the yeast from over-reacting and the bread from over-rising. The combination of sugar, salt, and yeast is a very important part of the bread making process. Remember that the total sugar and salt amounts are divided among all the slices, so the amount of sugar and salt per serving is small.
