Remove the bread pan and kneading paddle and wash before first use. 2. Place the bread pan on the counter and place the kneading paddle onto the shaft in the bottom of the bread pan. The arrow on the paddle should point up. Push the kneading paddle all the way down. About 1⁄8-inch of the shaft will show above the kneading paddle. 3. Measuring carefully, add the ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe. Liquid ingredients first, then dry ingredients, and adding the yeast last. 4. Lift the bread pan by the handle and place in the oven chamber. Place the bread pan arrow at the front, aligning with the oven chamber arrow. Push the bread pan all the way down to lock into the bottom gear in the oven chamber. Bread pan must click in place for proper mixing and kneading. Close the cover. 5. Plug in breadmaker. A beep will sound and the display window will blink SEL. Press PROG until the desired bread program number is shown in the display window. 6. Now select the Crust Color by pressing CRUST. (Only available in cycles 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.) A small arrow will move along the bottom of the display window indicating which crust color has been selected. 7. If not using the programmable timer feature, press START/CANCEL to start the breadmaker. The total time before the bread is ready will be shown in the display window. If using the programmable timer, set the timer then press START/CANCEL. If START/CANCEL is not pushed within 60 seconds, the display will go back to "SEL." See page 4 to program a delayed start. NOTE: During the White and Sweet Cycles, a beep will sound about 30 minutes after the breadmaker starts mixing. This is the Add Ingredient signal to add raisins, dried fruit or nuts if the recipe instructs. 8. The breadmaker will beep when the bread is done. END will be shown in the display window. For best results, the bread should be removed from the bread pan immediately. If not however, the breadmaker will start a Keep Warm cycle for about 1 hour. 9. Press START/CANCEL and hold for three seconds to turn off the breadmaker. Unplug the unit. SEL will blink in the display window until the unit is unplugged. Raise the cover and using an oven mitt, lift the bread pan straight up to remove from the oven chamber. 10. Using oven mitts on both hands, turn the bread pan upside down and shake the loaf until it falls out of bread pan. Locate kneading paddle. It may remain on the shaft in the bottom of the bread pan or it may have baked into the bottom of the loaf of bread. Let bread cool on rack for 10 minutes before slicing. NOTES: • Do not use any metal utensils in the bread pan. This could damage the non-stick coating. • After making a loaf of bread, the breadmaker must cool down before making another loaf. Leave the cover open to assist the cooling process. After 30 minutes, if you are still unable to turn the unit on, unplug it. After waiting a few seconds, plug it in again. This will reset the unit. • The cover of the breadmaker is designed to be taken off and reattached easily. This will help when cleaning. However, never immerse the cover; simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. • The unit is not operating correctly if the control panel displays "EL" or "ES" codes. Call Customer Service if these codes appear. 5
