CHECKING DOUGH CONSISTENCY
Although your bread maker will mix, knead and bake bread automatically,
when baking bread from scratch, it is recommended that you learn to
recognize condition of your dough. The ratio of flour to liquid is the most
critical factor in any bread recipe, yet the most easily remedied. After 5 to
8 minutes in Knead 2, open bread maker to check consistency of dough.
Dough should be in a soft, tacky ball (feel sticky like scotch tape). If it is too
dry, add 1 Tbsp. of liquid at a time. If it is too wet, add 1 Tbsp. of flour at a
time.
USING YOUR BREAD MAKER
Note: Depending on the cycle or recipe used, some steps may not apply or
there may be additional steps. Refer to the respective recipes instructions in
the recipes portion of this booklet, as well as the specific cycle instructions
located at the end of these usage instructions.
1. Open lid and remove bread pan. Lift bread
pan straight up and out using the handle (B).
Caution: Do not turn or shake bread pan
while taking it out. If the bread pan is bent,
temperature sensor may not work properly.
2. Position kneading paddle on the drive
shaft. Match flat side of drive shaft to flat
part of hole in kneading paddle (C). Make
sure paddle is secure.
3. Place ingredients into the bread pan.
Note: As you add ingredients into the bread
pan, the collapsible kneading paddle may
fall; this is normal. The paddle will stand up
automatically once the cycle is started.
Important: Add ingredients to bread pan in
the order listed in the recipe.
Important: Always add yeast last.
4. Make small indentation on top of dry
ingredients (not so deep it reaches the wet
layer) and add yeast (D).
Important: Indentation for yeast is important,
especially when using the delay bake timer. It
keeps yeast away from the wet ingredients until
the kneading process begins. (Liquid ingredients
will prematurely activate the yeast.)
5. Insert the bread pan into the baking chamber (E). Press down on rim of
bread pan until it snaps securely into place.
6. Close the lid. If your recipe includes extra
ingredients such as fruits or nuts (listed
after the yeast in the recipe), add these to
the automatic fruit and dispenser.
Important: Do not exceed
2/3
cup capacity.
Important: Do not pour liquids or spices
into dispenser. Always make sure fresh fruit
or vegetables are not wet; pat dry before
putting them in the dispenser.
7. Plug into standard electrical outlet. Turn the On/Off (I/O) switch to
the on (I) position. Bread maker will beep and program 1 and 3:25 will
appear in the display window (F).
8. Press MENU to choose desired cycle (F1). Each time MENU is pressed,
unit and display will move to the next cycle.
Note: As the MENU button is pressed, the Rapid cycle setting will follow
the regular cycle setting for White, Whole Wheat and French.
9. Press CRUST COLOR to choose crust color (F2). Bread maker is preset
for medium crust.
Note: CRUST will not be activated for the following cycles: Jam, Dough,
Artisan Dough, Bake Only, Rapid.
