QUICK GUIDE

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE BREAD PAN
(1) To use the bread pan handle, turn the bread pan counter-clockwise, then pull it out of the device.

(2) Place the bread pan back into the bread maker. Ensure the pan is firmly locked into place by turning it clockwise. Then, close the lid.
NOTE : Bread pan must lock into place for proper mixing and
kneading.

CAUTION : Be careful as the product may be hot.

(3) Push the kneading paddle onto the drive shaft inside the bread pan.

Using the fruit & nut dispenser
If you wish to add nuts or seeds to your loaf, it is not recommended to dispense them into the flour at first preparation. This may cause the nuts or seeds to lose flavor and texture due to over stirring. The automatic dispenser function will help you add fruits, nuts, raisins, or other add-ins without waiting by the bread maker. Pour the nuts or seeds in the dispenser, then install it below the lid. After installation, close the lid and start the program. After approximately 30 minutes (time may differ) of baking, the nut dispenser will operate 3 times. To ensure all contents are dispensed, the dispenser will push the bottom cover open. The dispensing function is automatically set in menus 1-7 and 13.

REMOVING BREAD
Oven mitts should be used as the bread pan and baking chamber will be hot. To remove the bread pan, lift the handle, turn it counterclockwise to unlock, and lift the pan straight up from the base of the chamber. After you remove the pan, carefully shake the bread upside down until it falls out. Let the bread cool on a wirer rack for 10 minutes before you slice it with a bread knife.
TIP: If the kneading paddle is stuck in the loaf, remove it with a hook (or kneading paddle remover).

TIP : If needed, when the paddle signal alerts, pause the unit by pressing the START/STOP button.

HOW TO CLEAN AND USE ENVIRONMENT

CLEANING YOUR BREADMAKER

1. Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
2. After the bread is removed from the bread pan, and the pan has cooled, fill it half-full with warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Allow the bread pan to soak for 5 to 20 minutes, or until the knead blades can be lifted off of the shafts. You may need to twist the knead blades slightly to loosen. If the knead blades are difficult to remove after soaking, secure the cross bar on the underside of the bread pan while twisting the knead blades to loosen. Wash the inside of the bread pan and knead blades with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Use a mild detergent. Never use chemical cleaning agents, oven cleaners, abrasive scouring pads, or cleansers on the bread pan or knead blades as it may damage the coating or finish. Replace the knead blades on the shaft.
3. Never immerse the bread pan in water or wash in an automatic dishwasher as it may damage the bearing that turns the knead blade. If necessary, wipe the inside of the oven chamber and the outside surfaces of the bread maker with a damp cloth. Never dip the appliance or fill the baking compartment with water! The lid cannot be removed for cleaning.

USE ENVIRONMENT Although the bread maker can work well in a wide range of temperatures, loaf sizes may differ depending on room temperature. We suggest that the room temperature should be between 15 to 34.

INGREDIENTS INTRODUCTION

1. Bread Flour
   Bread flour is the most important ingredient in making bread. It is also recommended to include in most yeast bread recipes. Also called high-gluten flour due to its higher gluten and protein contents, this can help keep the bread from collapsing after rising. Flour varies by region. Bread flour has a higher gluten content than all-purpose flour, so it can be used for baking larger bread loafs with higher inner fiber content.

2. All-Purpose Flour
   All-purpose flower contains no baking powder. This flour is suitable for “quick breads”, or bread made with the quick settings. Bread flour is better suited for yeast breads.

3. Whole-Wheat Flour
   Whole-wheat flour is grounded from an entire wheat kernel. Bread that contains whole-wheat flour typically has higher fiber and nutritional contents. Whole- wheat tends to be heavier than other flours. As a result, loaves are usually smaller in size and are heavier in texture. Whole-wheat flour contains wheat skin and gluten. Many recipes add whole-Wheat flour or Bread Flour for better baking results.

4. Black Wheat Flour
   Also called “rye flour”, black wheat flour contains a high amount of fiber similar to whole-wheat flour. To increase loaf size, black wheat flour must be combined with a large amount of bread flour.

5. Self-rising flour
   Typically used for baking cakes, self-rising flour contains baking powder. Do not use self-rising flour with yeast.

6. Corn flour and oatmeal flour
   Corn flour and oatmeal flour are grounded from corn and oatmeal separately. They are used as additive ingredients for making rough bread. They help enhance flavor and texture.

7. Sugar
   Sometimes described as “food” for yeast, sugar increases the sweetness and color of your bread. It is also a crucial element in the bread rising process. White sugar is typically used. However, some recipes may call for brown sugar, powdered sugar, or cotton sugar.

8. Yeast
   Yeast is a living organism that should be kept in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. It needs carbohydrates found in sugar and flour for nourishment. Yeast used in bread makers are sometimes sold under several different names: Bread machine yeast (preferred), active-dry yeast, and instant yeast. After the yeasting process, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will expand bread and soften the inner fibers.
   1 tbsp. dry yeast =3 tsp dry yeast
   1 tbsp. dry yeast =15ml yeast
   1 tsp dry yeast =5ml
   Before using, check the expiration date and storage time of the yeast. Store the yeast back into refrigerator immediately after each use. If not, the higher temperature may kill the fungus needed for bread rising.
   TIP: To check on your yeast to see if it is fresh and active:
   (1) Pour 1 cup (237ml) of warm water (45-50) into a measuring cup.
   (2) Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of white sugar into the cup and stir. Then, add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of yeast into the water.
   (3) Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not stir the water.
   (4) Fresh, active yeast will begin to bubble or “grow”. If it does not, the yeast is dead or inactive.

9. Salt
   Although bread tends to grow larger when salt isn’t added to the recipe, do not add too much salt to your recipe.

10. Egg
    Eggs can improve the bread’s texture, add more nourishment, and increase its size. The egg must be whisked in with the other liquid ingredients.

11. Grease, Butter and Vegetable Oil
    Grease can soften the bread and extend its storage life. Butter should be melted or chopped into small pieces before adding to liquid.

12. Baking Powder
    Baking powder is used for rising the Ultra Fast bread and cake. When using baking powder, rising time is not needed. Instead, it helps produce air. The air created forms bubbles, which will help soften the bread’s texture.

13. Baking Soda
    It is similar with baking powder. It can also used in combination with baking powder.

14. Water and Other Liquids (always add first)
    Water is essential ingredient for making bread. Generally, water should be between 20 and 25, or around room temperature. To enhance bread flavor, some recipes may call for milk or other liquids. Never use dairy with the Delay Timer option.

USE EXACT MEASUREMENT
TIPS: One of the most important steps of making good bread is using the proper measurement of ingredients. Measure each ingredient carefully and add to your bread pan in the order given in the recipe. It is strongly recommended to use a measuring cup or measuring spoon to ensure accuracy. Inaccurate measurements may negatively affect bread quality.

Adding Sequence
Always add ingredients in the order given in the recipe.
FIRST: Liquid ingredients
SECOND: Dry ingredients
LAST: Yeast

The yeast should only be placed on the dry flour and never come in contact with the liquid or salt. When setting the Delay Timer function for an extended period of time, do not add perishable ingredients such as eggs or milk. After the initial kneading of the flour is complete, a beep will go off and the fruit ingredients will automatically dispense into the mixture. If the fruit ingredients are added too early, the flavor will diminish due to over stirring.

Liquid Ingredients
Water, fresh milk or other liquids should be measured with measuring cups with clear markings and a spout. Set the cup on the counter and lower yourself to check the liquid level. When measuring cooking oil or other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly.

Dry measurements
Measure dry ingredients by gently spooning them into a measuring cup. Once filled, level off any excess ingredients with a knife. Never use the measuring cup to scoop the dry ingredients directly from its container. This could add up to 1 tablespoon of extra ingredients. Do not tap the bottom of the measuring cup or pack it down.

HINT: Before measuring, stir the flour to aerate it. When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, such as
salt or sugar, use a measuring spoon. Make sure you are leveling off your dry ingredients when measuring.
