Special Cord Set Instructions INTRODUCTION A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Nothing says "home" like warm, just-baked bread. With your new automatic bread maker, all you have to do is add ingredients and select the time you'd like Cuisinart to start the process. We mix it, knead it, let it rise, and bake it. We've included lots of bread recipes, as well as recipes for pastries and jams.
CONTROL PANEL Setting Up LCD Display – Displays your loaf size and crust color selection along with the current function. Also used to view menu selection and delay start timer. 1. R emove bread pan by grasping the handle, turning the pan to the left and pulling up. Attach kneading paddle. (see figures 1a and 1b). Loaf Size Button – Selects a 1lb, 1½ lb or 2lb loaf. 2. P ut ingredients in bread pan – refer to the measuring and loading ingredients section (pages 6-7) for detailed instructions.
Begin the process a. S tart – if you would like the bread making process to start immediately, press the Start/Stop button now. Knead: Three kneads are standard for most settings. The first knead will actually mix the ingredients; one or two other short knead cycles will punch the dough down before the rest and rise cycles. b. D elay Start – The delay timer allows you to delay the bread making process up to 13 hours.
Note: If you plan to remove the dough and reshape it in another pan for baking in your conventional oven, this is the time to do so. Be sure to press and hold the Start/Stop button to reset the machine so it does not automatically resume the process after 15 minutes. Also Note: This unit is equipped with a power failure backup system. In case of any disruption of power supply, the unit will store in memory the stage of bread making cycle and resume once power is restored.
One way is by using our Dough cycle. It mixes ingredients, kneads and takes the dough through the first rise cycle. It is appropriate for almost any dough recipe (except gluten free) and ideal for pizza dough. It is intended that dough will be removed, deflated and shaped by hand and allowed to rise 1 or 2 more times out of the bread maker. Alternatively, you can choose a specific bread type from the menu options, and remove the dough when the signal before last rise sounds.
LOADING INGREDIENTS INTO THE BREAD PAN TIPS AND HINTS Important Note: The SECOND most important rule of making bread: Put the ingredients into the bread maker in the EXACT order given in the recipe. This means: Bread machine baking is affected by the temperature and humidity of the day – this is often the cause of varied dough consistency and results. On a humid day, the best method of measuring is to weigh the flour. A cup of white bread flour weighs 5 ounces/140grams.
Add ingredients to the pan in this order – liquids, melted or softened butter, salt and sugars (including honey, molasses, syrup), herbs, flours, dried milk, vital wheat gluten (if using), yeast. Do not allow the yeast to touch the wet ingredients. See detailed instructions on page 7. Amounts/Sizes/Ingredients Temperature of ingredients is important in bread machine baking. Ideal temperature is room temperature, between 75°–90°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperatures.
Lid – If you would like to remove the lid for cleaning, open the lid completely and pull upward. Never put the lid in the dishwasher. Baking Pan, Kneading Paddle, Measuring Spoon and Measuring Cup – Wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly, or clean in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use. If you have trouble removing the kneading paddle from the bread pan, soak in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes – this will loosen the blade.
