Using oven mitts, carefully lift front edge of pan up to unlock, then lift pan out of machine. Shake bread out of pan and cool on rack 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. See "CLEAN AFTER EACH USE" section in this booklet on page 16 for cleaning information. OTHER TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN USING YOUR BREAD MAKER ® DO NOT REMOVE the bread pan or touch any moving parts when bread maker is in operation. If you need to stop the bread maker during operation, hold the start/stop button down for four (4) seconds or until the red light goes out. Ell BE SURE to allow adequate ventilation around the bread maker when it is in operation. Keep it out of drafts and direct sunlight and at least four (4) inches away from walls, cabinets and other appliances, especially heating and cooling appliances which interfere with the internal bread maker temperatures and affect the loaf of bread being prepared. la DO NOT IMMERSE base of bread pan in water or other liquid as this can damage the bearings that turn the knead bars on the bottom of the pan. See "CLEAN AFTER EACH USE" section in this booklet on page 16 for further details. 13 ALWAYS place bread maker on a DRY, STABLE, heat-proof countertop or table during use. Since the bread maker contains a motor, some vibration occurs during the knead cycle. El AVOID touching bread maker during the bake cycle as exterior surfaces become hot. ALWAYS use oven mitts when removing and handling the bread pan after baking. 6 FOLLOW instructions as given for best results. THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN SUCCESSFUL BREAD MAKING IS TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY. See "MEASURING INGREDIENTS ACCURATELY" section in this booklet on pages 7 and 8. Ell DO NOT EXCEED the ingredients capac- ity of the bread maker. See "KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS" section in this booklet on pages 4 to 7. Use only fresh ingredients. 8 ALWAYS ADD INGREDIENTS in the order listed in recipes. Add liquid ingredients first, the butter or margarine next, followed by the dry ingredients and finally the yeast in the very center. Before adding the yeast, ALWAYS tap the pan to settle the dry ingredients, level off, pushing some of the dry ingredients into corners of pan to prevent liquid from seeping up. Then make a slight well in center of dry ingredients and place the yeast in the well. This sequence is very important, especially when using the time delay start timer of your bread maker to prevent the yeast from getting wet before the bread making process begins. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE, the bread maker will turn off and automatically resume where it left off in the cycle if power is restored within 5 to 10 seconds. If power is not restored in 5 to 10 seconds, the bread maker will remain off when power is restored. If this is the case, you will need to remove the contents from pan and start over using fresh ingredients. The red on light will remain off and the display will reset to the default setting: basic, medium crust, VA lb. loaf, with 3:30 in display. 10 DO NOT COVER bread maker with anything during operation as this can cause malfunction. el DO NOT TOUCH control panel buttons after bread maker has been turned on as this can interrupt the cycle. Turn bread maker off after completion of cycle. Eg DO NOT LEAVE bread maker plugged into electrical outlet when not in use to prevent it from being accidentally turned on. KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS Although bread making seems very basic, it is a science and the proportions of ingredients are critical. Read the following information to better understand the importance each ingredient plays in the bread making process. Also, always make sure your ingredients are fresh. m FLOUR is the main ingredient used in making bread and provides structure as well as food for the yeast. Several different types of flour can be used in your bread maker, but DO NOT USE ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR, CAKE FLOUR or SELF-RISING FLOUR AS POOR RESULTS WILL BE OBTAINED. Sdll d3H1O
