BREAKDOWN OF BREAD/DOUGH CYCLES So you know exactly what is going on inside the bread maker during the process time, 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, depending on the bread settings. Cycles: KNEAD RISE KNEAD RISE KNEAD RISE KNEAD RISE BAKE KEEP WARM BASIC 6 min. 15 min. 20 min. 44 min. 15 sec. 25 min. 15 sec. 50 min. 60 min. 3 hrs. RAPID 6 min. 15 min. 20 min. 29 min. 15 sec. 10 min. 15 sec. 50 min. 60 min. 3 hrs. WHOLE WHEAT DOUGH 6 min. 26 min . 15 min. 54 min. 30 min. 15 sec. 50 min. ---- 15 sec. ---- 15 min. ---- 15 sec. ---- 55 min. ---- 60 min. ---- 3 hrs. ---- Total Time To Make Bread Total Time For Dough 3 hrs 40 min. 3 hrs. 10 min. 3 hrs. 50 min. ---1 hr. 20 min. KNEAD . RISE KNEAD RISE When the bread maker is turned on, it will mix and knead the ingredients for 6 minutes. The knead bar will start and stop every few seconds during the beginning of mixing action which is normal After the initial mixing/kneading period, the dough is allowed to rise for 15 minutes before the final kneading action begins when using the bread settings. You may hear faint clicking sounds during this period which is normal and indicates the bread maker is working properly on keeping the dough warm. (When set at the DOUGH setting, this cycle is omitted as it is not necessary in the preparation of dough for hand shaping and baking.) The total knead time varies depending on the bread selection made. Total kneading time at the BASIC, RAPID, and DOUGH settings is 20 minutes; 30 minutes for the WHOE WHEAT bread setting. The longer knead time is required at the WHOLE WHEAT setting to better develop the gluten in whole wheat flour. SPECIAL NOTES: • When using any setting, an audible alert will sound midway through the second Knead cycle to let you know when to add ingredients such as raisins, nuts, cheese, etc. to prevent overmixing or crushing of added ingredients. If you are not adding ingredients to the recipe, ignore this alert. • If you need to make any adjustments to the recipe, such as adding a little more flour or liquid in order to improve the consistency of the dough, you must make this adjustment during this knead period. You may wish to use the add ingredient alert or set a separate timer to remind you to check the dough during the kneading period to make any necessary adjustments. See page 4 for further details. 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. 14
