CAUTION: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or
other liquid.
3. Wipe inside chamber and outside surfaces of bread maker with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth if necessary.
Cover can be removed for cleaning. Open cover 45 degrees, then slide forward. Wipe cover with a damp soapy cloth and
dry. Do not immerse cover in water or place in automatic dishwasher for cleaning as water will get in between the parts
and can cause damage.
After cleaning, replace cover by aligning attachment bar into hinge on back of bread maker. Cover should move freely up
and down after being replaced.
BREADDOWN OF BREAD/DOUGH CYCLES
So you know exactly what is going on inside the bread maker during the various cycles of the different BREAD SELECT
settings, the following chart breaks down the time in minutes or seconds that each cycle requires. These times are
approximate and should be used only as a guide. The total process time is also given in hours and minutes.

REST During the Rest period, gentle heat is provided to warm the pan and ingredients before the mixing and
kneading begins. You may hear faint clicking sounds during this Rest period, which is normal and
indicates the bread maker is working properly. As noted in the cycle chart, the Rest period ranges from 5
to 30 minutes depending on the bread setting used.
KNEAD During the first 2 minutes of the Knead cycle, the ingredients will be mixed and the knead bar will start
and stop every few seconds to get the ingredients moistened and mixed before the continuous kneading
action begins. The total knead time varies between 22 and 32 minutes; the longer knead time is
required at the WHOLE WHEAT setting to better develop the gluten in whole wheat flour.
SPECIAL NOTES:
• When using the SWEET bread setting, an audible alert will sound midway through the Knead cycle
to let you know when to add ingredients such as raisins, nuts, cheese, etc. to prevent overmixing or
crushing.
• If you need to make any adjustment to the recipe, such a adding a little more flour or liquid in order
for the dough to form a ball and be of soft consistency, you must make this adjustment during this
knead period. You can set a separate timer to remind you to check the dough during the kneading
period to make any necessary adjustments.
RISE (1) After the dough is kneaded, it is allowed to rise for a certain period of time. You may hear faint clicking
sounds during the rise as gentle heat is being provided to keep the chamber warm.
STIR-DOWN After the dough has risen, it is then stirred down briefly by the knead bar to remove excess carbon
dioxide gas created by the yeast.
SPECIAL NOTE:
• If using the DOUGH setting, its cycle is complete at this time and ready for hand shaping, rising and
baking in your own oven. An audible alert will sound and the bread maker will turn itself off after
completion of the DOUGH cycle.
RISE(2) The dough is then allowed to rise again, but for a shorter period of time.
STIR-DOWN After the shorter rise time, the dough is again stirred down by the knead bar to remove excess gas and
also to shape the dough into a ball for the final rise. This final knead ensures that the bread will have
good texture.
