1. Before using your bread maker, always wash all pieces first to remove any
sediment or oils left behind from previous use and to eliminate any odd tastes
due to the residue that may be on the bread pan.
2. When following the recipe:
• Always add ingredients into the bread pan in the order they are listed.
• Measure ingredients carefully and 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.
• Inaccurate measurements, even if only slightly off, can make a difference
in your results.
• Yeast is always added last. Be sure that the yeast does not touch the liquid
ingredients, salt or shortening.
3. The following test can be used to determine whether your yeast is stale and
inactive:
a) Place ½ cup of lukewarm water into a small cup or bowl.
b) Stir ½ tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the
surface.
c) Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow to sit for 10 minutes
undisturbed.
d) The mixture should foam and produce a strong yeast aroma. If this does
not occur, fresh yeast should be purchased.
4. Do not cover the bread maker 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.
5. Do not place any objects on top of the breadmaker.
6. 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 bread pan, as it may
produce poor results and may damage your breadmaker.
