12.

Note:

· Breads high in sugar 

and/or egg will naturally 

have a darker crust 

color. For breads high 

in these ingredients, we 

recommend using the 

"light" baking color. Be 

sure to also check your 

bread during the baking 

phase to ensure that it is 

not getting burnt on top.

· When using the 

Time 

buttons, time will 

increase/decrease by 

1 min, 5 min, or 10 min 

with each press. To 

rapidly adjust the time, 

press and hold down 

the button.

· While using either of the 

Ultra Fast 

functions, 

water added should be 

heated to around 118-

120°F to ensure proper 

dough fermentation.

13.

Note:

· Always add the yeast 

last when adding 

ingredients to the 

baking pan. Yeast that 

comes into contact with 

the wet ingredients will 

not ferment properly.

· Refer to "Recipe Charts" 

on pages 

18-24 

for 

specific function notes 

and ingredients.

Operation Guide

Operation 

(

CONT.

)

1.  Read all instructions and important safeguards.

2.  Follow the instructions in "Before First Use" on 

page 

10

 to clean and prepare your bread maker 

and accessories.

3.  Remove the baking pan from the baking cavit

and secure the stirring paddle in place.

 .

  To remove the baking pan, hold the handle and   

  turn counterclockwise to release, then pull up.

 .

  For correct stirring paddle placement, see the     

  guidelines on page 

9

.

4.  Add all ingredients to the baking pan.
 

.  

To ensure proper baking and rising, ingredients   

  should always be added in the following order:

     

 

When measuring dry ingredients, such as salt,    

 sugar, or flour, be sure not to over-pack the  

 

  measuring cup. Instead, gently shake the cup    

  from side to side until the ingredients are level    

  with the top of the cup. Over-packing will affect   

  the ingredient balance and dry out the dough.

 

For more information on ingredients, see  

 

  "Ingredient Guide" on page 

15.

5.  Place the baking pan inside the baking cavity, 

ensuring that it is securely in place.

 

To place the baking pan inside the baking  

 

  cavity, hold by the handle and slighly rotate the   

  baking pan counterclockwise until it settles into    

  place. Rotate the handle clockwise until snug. 

6.  Lower the lid and plug the power cord into an 

available 120V AC wall outlet.

 

The alert will sound and the default menu  

 

 settings will be shown on the digital display.

7.  First, use the 

Menu

 button to select your desired 

bake function. Then, select the loaf size, crust 

color, and time (optional) using the 

Size

Color

Caution:

To avoid spilling 

ingredients onto the 

bread maker’s heating 

element, always remove 

the baking pan from 

the baking cavity before 

filling.
Do not use perishable 

ingredients when 

setting a delay start 

for your bread, as the 

ingredients may spoil. 

Instead, use powdered 

alternatives.

  additional hours to the displayed bake time.

Hints:

Check your bread 

maker after 5 minutes 

of mixing. Dough 

should not be too 

dry or too runny, but 

well combined into a 

solid mass. If dough 

is too dry, add more 

liquid (one teaspoon 

at a time). If too runny, 

add more flour (one 

teaspoon at a time).
