USING THE BREADMAN
®
(continued)
5
• Don't open the Lid during the Kneading or Baking
process. This causes the bread to bake improperly.
• Don't unplug the Breadman® during Kneading or
Baking. This will stop the operation and you will have to
start all over again, with new ingredients.
• To protect young children, keep the Breadman
®
out of their
reach when there is no supervision; especially during the
Kneading and Baking Cycles.
• Use the Breadman
®
on a flat, hard surface. Do not place it
near a flame or heat, or on a soft surface (such as a carpet).
Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use.
Dropping the Breadman
®
could cause it to malfunction.
• To avoid burns, stay clear of the Steam Vent during
Kneading and Baking Cycles. The Viewing Window can
get quite hot as well.
• After baking, wait for the Breadman
®
to cool down
before touching or cleaning the Bread Pan or internals
of the machine.
• Never use metal utensils with the Breadman
®
. These can
scratch the non-stick surface of the Bread Pan.
• Avoid electric shock by unplugging the Breadman
®
before
using a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of
the Oven.
• Never use the Bread Pan on a gas or electric cooktop or on
an open flame.
• Avoid covering the Steam Vent during Kneading or
Baking Cycles. This could cause the Breadman
®
to warp
or discolor.

USING THE TIMER (continued)
For Best Results
• Take care to measure ingredients accurately, using a good
set of measuring cups and spoons, or a good scale. Make
sure to level all dry ingredients as you measure them.
Inaccurate measuring could cause unexpected results in
your loaf of bread.
• In particular, be precise in measuring the water.
• After placing all the ingredients in the Baking Pan, wait
10 minutes before pressing “Start,” or use the Timer to add
10 minutes to the total processing cycle.
• Use fresh ingredients.
• Since moisture is an enemy to flour, be sure to store
your flour in an airtight container.
• To keep your yeast active, store it in an airtight
container in your refrigerator.
• Speaking of fresh — when using the Timer, we recommend
setting it for as short a time as possible. Because ingredients
are partially combined in the Bread Pan, the dough may
tend to deteriorate if left too many hours, especially on a
warm or humid day.
• Although you can preset the Breadman
®
for Dough, we
only recommend this for prepackaged mixes. Eggs and dairy
products can easily spoil.
• Keep the Lid closed during the Baking Cycle. Opening it
causes uneven baking.
• After your bread has cooled completely, store it in a plastic
bag or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
