POWER OUTAGE
7-Minute Power Failure Back-Up
Your Professional Bread Maker has a 7-minute power failure back-up feature. If the electricity goes out, the memory will store your cycle selection for up to 7 minutes. If the power comes back on within this time, bread making will resume where it left off.
If the bread maker loses power for more than 7 minutes and you are using any dairy products, perishables or meat in your bread, you should discard the contents of the recipe and start again with new fresh ingredients due to health and sanitary considerations. For nonperishable recipes you may try starting the bread maker at the beginning of the cycle again. However, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread. If you are not sure when the outage occurred, remove the dough and discard.

KNEADING AND BAKING Cycles

Note: If at any time during bread making process you need to turn bread maker off, press and hold the START/STOP (I/O) button for several seconds, then unplug the unit.
Note: If bread is not removed immediately after baking and START/ STOP (I/O) button is not pressed, a controlled 60-minute Keep Warm mode will begin (except during Quick Bread, Dough and Jam). For best results, remove bread immediately after baking process is complete.

• White
  Used for breads that primarily include white bread flour, although some recipes may include small amounts of whole wheat flour.

• Whole Wheat
  Used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats or bran. Whole wheat cycle begins with rest period during which flours or grains absorb liquid ingredients. Soaking causes flour or grain to soften and helps ingredients to combine. Generally, whole wheat and multi-grain breads are shorter and denser than white, French or sweet.

• French
  Traditionally, French bread has a slightly crispier crust and lighter texture than white bread. Recipes usually do not include butter, margarine or milk.

• Sweet
  Used for recipes that contain eggs, fruit juice, additional sugar or added sweet ingredients such as coconut flakes, raisins, dried fruit or chocolate. Baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning.

• Quick Bread
  Used for recipes that contain baking powder or baking soda, rather than yeast, to make bread rise. Cake recipes made from scratch must be specially designed for this cycle.

• Low Carb
  Used for recipes that are lower in carbohydrates.

• Gluten -Free
  Used for gluten-free recipes.

• Dough
  Use to prepare dough for making bread, rolls or pizza which are shaped and allowed to rise before baking in a conventional oven. This setting blends and kneads the dough and takes it through the first rise.

• ARTISAN DOUGH
  Artisan breads (or country breads) represent the best in bread baking. They use the freshest ingredients, usually including fresh herbs and interesting seed and nut additions. The longer rising time (the entire cycle in the bread machine is 5:15 hours) at cooler temperature settings (preset in the machine) allow the flavor of the flour to dominate. Consider using ingredients such as, organic flours, unrefined sea salt and spring water. Sugar and fat are often not used in these breads. The final shaping, rising and baking of the bread allow for your creativity and bring a very personal touch to the results.

• Jam
  Use to prepare preserves, marmalade, chutneys and ketchup. Add fruit, sugar and lemon juice for homemade preserves – a great topping for homemade bread, waffles and ice cream.

• Bake Only
  Used if crust is too light or you wish to bake pre-made dough – also especially useful if your bread is not quite done. Check every few minutes. Bakes for up to 1 hour, 30 minutes.

• Rapid
  Used for White, Whole Wheat and French cycles to decrease time to approximately 1 hour. Choose recipe, then simply add ½ tsp. to amount of yeast listed for a 2-lb. loaf. Bread may be shorter and denser than bread made using the longer program.

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS

Tips on Flour Storage
Keep flour in a secure, airtight container. Store rye and whole wheat flours in a refrigerator, freeze or a cool area to prevent them from becoming rancid. Allow flour to come to room temperature before using.
Note: Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different in how they are ground, milled, stored, etc. You may have to experiment with different brands of flour to help you make the perfect loaf. See RECIPE TIPS to assist with these experiments.

Yeast
Active yeast, through a fermentation process, produces carbon dioxide gas necessary to make bread rise. Yeast feeds on carbohydrates in sugar and flour to produce this gas. Three different types of yeast are available: fresh (cake), active dry and quick-acting. Quick, rapid rise and bread machine yeasts are quick-acting. Fresh (cake) yeast is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with your bread maker.

Tips on Yeast
Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date. Ideally, yeast should be used several months before the expiration date. Once a package or jar of yeast is opened, it is important that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated or frozen for future use. Often dough that fails to rise is due to stale yeast.
Note: Basic bread and dough recipes in this booklet were developed using active dry yeast. You may use chart below to substitute any quick-acting yeast (quick rise, fast rise or bread maker yeast) for active dry yeast.

Conversion Chart for Bread Machine Yeast

• ¾ tsp. bread machine yeast = ½ tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 1 tsp. bread machine yeast = ¾ tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 1½ tsp. bread machine yeast = 1 tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 2¼ tsp. bread machine yeast = 1½ tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 1 tbsp. bread machine yeast = 2 tsp. quick-acting yeast

Rapid Cycles
Rapid cycle settings for White, Whole Wheat and French decrease time for making your favorite bread in approximately 1 hour. Choose recipe, then add an additional ½ tsp. of bread machine yeast to the recipe. The bread may be shorter and denser.

CLIMATE CHANGES & BAKING

• In high-altitude areas (over 3,000 feet), dough tends to rise faster as there is less air pressure. Therefore, less yeast is necessary.
• In dry climates, flour is drier and requires slightly more liquid.
• In humid climates, flour is wetter and will absorb less liquid, so less liquid is required.

How to Use

This product is for household use only.
Important: Your bread maker has an intelligent fuse system designed to protect the motor from overheating. It will automatically shut off the motor if there is an overheat risk. If this occurs, unplug the appliance, wait a minimum of 20 minutes for it to cool down, and plug in again following the instructions.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove packing materials and any stickers.

• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.

• Place bread maker on dry, stable, level surface away from heat and areas where cooking grease or water may splatter on unit. Do not place near edge of countertop. If placing beneath cabinets, make sure there is enough room to open the lid without interference.
  Important: Your bread maker will bake up at 2½-lb. loaf. Do not put larger quantities of ingredients into bread pan. Bread will not mix and bake correctly and bread maker may become damaged. (See ma ximum ingredient amounts .)

• Before first use, operate on Rapid White cycle without adding ingredients to burn off manufacturing oils. (Follow instructions in using your bread maker .)
  Note: During first use, bread maker may smoke and/or emit an odor from mineral oils used in manufacturing. This is normal.

MAXIMUM INGREDIENT AMOUNTS

• Bread cycles: approximately 5 cups
• Quick breads: 4 cups
• Dough cycle: 42/3 cups
• Jam: 3 cups of fruit mixture

Bread Pan tips
Inserting bread pan
Note: Remember to insert kneading paddles first, then add all ingredients in the order listed BEFORE inserting the bread pan into baking chamber.
Important: The collapsible kneading paddle may fall when ingredients are added. This is normal. It will stand up when kneading begins

• When inserting bread pan into bread maker, make sure to set firmly in place.

Removing bread pan

• To remove bread pan from baking chamber, hold handle with an oven mitt and lift straight up firmly.

Important: When you remove bread pan after baking, be sure to wear oven mitts to prevent burning.

• After removing loaf (by turning bread pan upside down and shaking gently), check to see that kneading paddle is removed from loaf. If it is stuck in bread, allow bread to cool; then use the paddle removal key to remove it, taking care not to scratch the kneading paddle. Allow bread to cool before removing the kneading paddle.

Checking Dough Consistency
Although your bread maker will mix, knead and bake bread automatically, when baking bread from scratch, it is recommended that you learn to recognize condition of your dough. The ratio of flour to liquid is the most critical factor in any bread recipe, yet the most easily remedied. After 5 to 8 minutes in Knead 2, open bread maker to check consistency of dough. Dough should be in a soft, tacky ball (feel sticky like scotch tape). If it is too dry, add 1 tsp. of liquid at a time. If it is too wet, add 1 tbsp. of flour at a time.

Using your bread maker
Note: Depending on the cycle or recipe used, some steps may not apply or there may be additional steps. Refer to the respective recipes instructions in the recipes portion of this booklet, as well as the specific cycle instructions located at the end of these usage instructions.

1. Open lid and remove bread pan. Lift bread pan straight up and out using the handle (B).
   Caution: Do not turn or shake bread pan while taking it out. If the bread pan is bent, temperature sensor may not work properly.

2. Position kneading paddle on the drive shaft. Match flat side of drive shaft to flat part of hole in kneading paddle (C). Make sure paddle is secure.

3. Place ingredients into the bread pan.
   Note: As you add ingredients into the bread pan, the collapsible kneading paddle may fall; this is normal. The paddle will stand up automatically once the cycle is started.
   Important: Add ingredients to bread pan in the order listed in the recipe. Important: Always add yeast last.

4. Make small indentation on top of dry ingredients (not so deep it reaches the wet layer) and add yeast (D).
   Important: Indentation for yeast is important, especially when using the delay bake timer. It keeps yeast away from the wet ingredients until the kneading process begins. (Liquid ingredients will prematurely activate the yeast.)

5. Insert the bread pan into the baking chamber (E). Press down on rim of bread pan until it snaps securely into place.

6. Close the lid. If your recipe includes extra ingredients such as fruits or nuts (listed after the yeast in the recipe), add these to the automatic fruit and nut dispenser.
   Important: Do not exceed 2/3 cup capacity.
   Important: Do not pour liquids or spices into dispenser. Always make sure fresh fruit or vegetables are not wet; pat dry before putting them in the dispenser.

7. Plug into standard electrical outlet. Bread maker will beep and program 1 and 3:25 will appear in the display window.

8. Press MENU to choose desired cycle (F1). Each time MENU is pressed, unit and display will move to the next cycle.
   Note: As the MENU button is pressed, the Rapid cycle setting will follow the regular cycle setting for White, Whole Wheat and French.

9. Press CRUST COLOR to choose crust color (F2). Bread maker is preset for medium crust.
   Note: CRUST will not be activated for the following cycles: Jam, Dough, Artisan Dough, Bake Only, Rapid

10. Press LOAF SIZE to select loaf size (F3). Bread maker is preset to 2 lb.
    Note: Loaf size cannot be activated for the following cycles: Jam, Dough, Artisan Dough, Rapid, Gluten Free, Low Carb

11. Press START/STOP (I/O) button to begin kneading cycle (F4). The time remaining will begin to count down in display window. Bread making time and loaf size will be shown in display window.
    Note: During kneading cycle, yeast will activate and viewing window may begin to fog. (This will clear eventually so you can view the progress.)

12. When your bread is finished baking, bread maker will beep and “3:25” will appear in display window. Press START/ STOP (I/O) and open lid. Using oven mitts, remove bread pan (G).
    Important: Remember, bread pan and loaf are both very hot! Be careful not to place either on tablecloth, plastic surface or other heat-sensitive surface that may scorch or melt.
    Note: If bread is not removed immediately after baking and START/ STOP (I/O) is not pressed, the Keep Warm mode will begin. Bread maker will automatically turn off after 60 minutes. For best results, remove bread immediately after baking.
    Note: Keep Warm does not apply to the following cycles: Jam, Dough, Artisan Dough, Bake Only

13. Turn bread pan upside down and shake to release bread (H). Place bread upright on wire rack to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
    Note: The collapsible kneading paddle is designed to stay in the bread pan instead of sticking in your bread. Check to see if the paddle stayed in the pan. If not, follow the caution statements below when removing.
    Caution: Be sure to remove kneading paddle from the bread before serving.
    Caution: Bread pan, kneading paddle and bread will be very hot. Allow bread to cool before removing the paddle and always use the paddle removal key.

14. Unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. (See CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.) Important: Make sure to clean the inside of the baking chamber thoroughly after each use.

15. Once bread has cooled (approximately 2 hours) store in an airtight container.

SLICING AND STORING BREAD
For best results, place bread on wire rack and allow to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing. Use electric knife or serrated knife for even slices. Store unused bread, tightly sealed (sealable plastic bags or plastic containers work well) at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, (up to 1 month) place bread in sealed container in freezer. Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster. Leftover or slightly hardened bread may be cut into ½-inch or 1-inch cubes and used in recipes to make croutons, bread pudding or stuffing.

USING 15-HOUR DELAY BAKE TIMER
Important: Delay baking does not activate JAM cycle. Do not use delay bake timer if your recipe includes perishables, such as, eggs, fresh milk, yogurt or other dairy products and meats, etc. To preset your bread maker, follow these steps:
To preset your bread maker, follow these steps:

1. Add ingredients in the order listed as usual, taking care not to let yeast and liquid ingredients contact one another.
   Note: If your recipe contains salt, add it with the liquid ingredients, taking care to keep it away from the yeast.

2. Close bread maker lid and plug it in.

3. Press MENU to select baking cycle. Standard cycle time will be shown in display window.

4. Press ▲ to add time in 10-minute intervals. (Use ▼ to subtract time.) Amount of time set is shown in display window.
   To fast forward time, continually press ▲.
   To fast reverse, continually press ▼.
   For example, if it is 8:00 AM and you want bread ready at 1:00 PM, press ▲ until the display reads 5:00 – meaning it will finish baking in 5 hours. This is the hour difference between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
   Note: Actual baking times will not change.

5. Press LOAF SIZE to choose loaf size, press CRUST COLOR to choose crust color, then press START/STOP (I/O) to begin timer. The colon (:) in time display begins to flash, letting you know timer is started. When your bread is finished baking, bread maker will beep and “0:00” will appear in display window. Press START/STOP (I/O) and open lid.

6. If you make an error after you’ve activated program and want to start over, press and hold START/STOP (I/O) for several seconds. Timer will clear and you can begin again.

BAKE ONLY
The BAKE ONLY cycle offers the flexibility to vary time. You can bake pre-made dough or dough purchased at the store using this cycle. You may also use this cycle if crust color is too light or if your sweet bread is not quite done. Check every few minutes.

1. Press the BAKE ONLY button to activate cycle. Adjust the amount of time you need up to 1 hour using the ▲ and ▼ buttons.
2. Press START/STOP (I/O) button to begin baking.

SPECIAL GLAZES FOR YEAST BREADS
Select 1 of the following special glazes to enhance your bread:

• Melted Butter Crust: Brush melted butter over just-baked bread for a softer, more tender crust.
• Milk Glaze: For a softer, shiny crust, brush just-baked bread with milk or cream.
• Sweet Icing Glaze: Mix 1 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk, water or fruit juice until smooth. Drizzle glaze over raisin or sweet bread when they are almost cool.
  Note: If desired, generously sprinkle with your choice of nuts or seeds after glazing.

DOUGH CYCLE
Tips for Best Results

• If using delay bake timer, make sure yeast is on top of flour, away from liquids.

Important: Never allow dough to remain in bread maker after cycle is complete; it may over rise and damage machine.

• Rising times for dough after it is shaped and placed in baking pan will vary due to recipe, temperature and humidity level of your kitchen. Optimum temperature for rising is 80°– 85°F. Rising is the most essential feature in bread making.
• Bread maker allows dough to have first rise or fermentation before dough is removed. Fermentation conditions gluten, (becoming pliable and elastic with a soft, smooth quality) develops flavor and leavens product.
• Sometimes a double rising is beneficial especially for whole grain or 100% whole wheat bread. Let dough rise once in bread maker. Remove from bread maker, punch down, let rise again, punch down and let rest 10 minutes. Resting allows gluten to relax and makes handling easier. Shape as desired and allow to rise until doubled in volume. If only 1 rise is desired, remove from bread maker, let rest, shape and rise as above.
• Baker’s Tip: Dough has doubled in volume when an indentation remains after tip of a finger is pressed lightly and quickly into dough. If indentation springs back, cover and let rise a few more minutes and check again.

SPECIAL TIPS FOR MAKING DOUGH
Important: For use only with the Dough Cycle.

• Always allow optimum rising of shaped dough.
• Use pastry brush to apply glaze.
• Bake as directed in recipe.

Apply Just Before Baking:

• Egg Yolk Glaze
  For shiny golden crust, mix 1 slightly beaten egg or egg yolk with 1 tbsp. water or milk.

• Egg White Glaze
  For shiny, chewy crust, mix 1 slightly beaten egg white with 1 tbsp. water. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or fruit and/or seeds after glazing.

• Lightly Floured
  Sprinkle enough flour onto work area so dough can be handled without sticking.

• Shaped Rolls
  Important: Once rolls are shaped, cover and let rise until doubled before baking.

• Cloverleaf Rolls
  Shape into ½-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each greased muffin tin.

• Crisscross Rolls
  Shape into balls, setting 2 aside. Combine balls and roll into a ¹⁄8-inch thick square. Cut strips ¹⁄8-inch wide and 2-inches long. Brush top of roll with beaten egg. Place 1 strip across top of each ball. Repeat process, placing second strip in opposite direction across top of each ball.

• Traditional Rolls
  Shape into balls. For “pull apart” rolls, place dough balls with sides touching in 8 or 9 inch round or square greased baking pan. For “individual” rolls place dough balls 2-inches apart.

• Crescent Rolls
  On lightly floured board, roll dough to 12-inch circle. Spread with softened butter. Cut into 16 wedges beginning at wider end. Place rolls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet with points underneath; curve rolls slightly. If desired, brush with melted butter just before baking.

• Rosettes
  On lightly floured board, roll about 1 ½ oz piece of dough into 14 inch rope. Tie in a loose knot, leaving 2 long ends. Tuck one end under knot and second end into the top center of the loose knot. Place 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet.

ARTISAN DOUGH CYCLE

Tips for Best Results

• Consider using more refined ingredients such as, organic flours, unrefined sea salt and spring water.
• Make sure you are using the freshest ingredients, including fresh herbs, seeds or nuts.
• If using delay bake timer, make sure yeast is on top of flour, away from liquids.

Important: Never allow artisan dough to remain in bread maker after cycle is complete; it may over rise and damage machine.

• Rising times for dough after it is shaped and placed in baking pan will vary due to recipe, temperature and humidity level of your kitchen. Optimum temperature for rising is 70°– 75°F. Rising is the most essential feature in bread making.
• Bread maker allows dough to have first rise or fermentation before dough is removed. Fermentation conditions gluten, (becoming pliable and elastic with a soft, smooth quality) develops flavor and leavens product.
• Resting allows gluten to relax and makes handling easier. Shape as desired and allow to rise until doubled in volume.
• Baker’s Tip: Dough has doubled in volume when an indentation remains after tip of a finger is pressed lightly and quickly into dough. If indentation springs back, cover and let rise a few more minutes and check again.

JAM CYCLE

• Method

1. Following steps in USING YOUR BREAD MAKER; select JAM cycle.
2. Once JAM cycle is complete, remove bread pan from bread maker and pour hot mixture into heat-safe jars, leaving ½” of space at the top.
3. Allow to partially cool. Cover tightly to store. Mixture will thicken upon cooling.

• Tips for Best Results
  • Do not reduce sugar or use sugar substitutes. Exact amounts of sugar, fruit, and other ingredients are necessary for good set.
  • Use only ripe fruit (not overripe or under-ripe) for best flavor.
  • Do not puree fruit. Jam should have bits of fruit in it.
  • Recipes should not exceed 3 cups fruit.
  • Remove stems, seeds or pits from fruit.
  • You may use strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or other thin skinned berries. Fruit such as peaches, pears and apricots may be used, but should be peeled and have seeds removed.
  • Frozen berries or fruit (no sugar added) may be substituted for fresh. Thaw and drain before measuring. For thinner jam, use juice as part of 3 cups of berry or fruit amount.
  • Lemon juice adds necessary acid to berries or fruit.
  • You may decrease amount of sugar, but it will produce a thinner result. More sugar will make it thicker. For best results, sugar substitutes are not recommended.
  • Average refrigerated life of jam is 2 weeks or up to several months if frozen.
    Important: Do not exceed amounts given in recipes!
