So you know exactly what is going on inside the bread maker during the various cycles of the different BREAD SELECT settings, 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.

REST –

 During the Rest period, gentle heat is provided to warm the pan and ingredients before the mixing and kneading begins. You 

may hear faint clicking sounds during this Rest period, which is normal and indicates the bread maker is working properly. As noted 
in the cycle chart, the Rest period ranges from 5 to 30 minutes depending on the bread setting used. 
 

KNEAD 

– During the first 2 minutes of the Knead cycle, the ingredients will be mixed and the knead bar will start and stop every few 

seconds to get the ingredients moistened and mixed before the continuous kneading action begins. The total knead time varies between 
27 and 37 minutes; the longer knead time is required at the WHOLE WHEAT settings to better develop the gluten in whole-wheat 
flour.

 

SPECIAL NOTES:

 

 

An audible alert will sound midway through the Knead cycle of all settings to let you know when to add ingredients such as raisins, 
nuts, cheese, etc. to prevent over mixing or crushing. Ignore alert if not adding ingredients. 
 
If you need to make any adjustment to the recipe, such as adding a little more flour or liquid in order for the dough to form a ball and 
be of soft consistency, you must make this adjustment during this knead period. Use alert described above, or set a separate timer to 
remind you to check the dough during the kneading period to make any necessary adjustments. See pages 3-4 for further details. 
 

RISE (1) –

 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. 
 

STIR-DOWN

 – after the dough has risen, it is then stirred down briefly by the knead bar to remove excess carbon dioxide gas created 

by the yeast. 

SPECIAL NOTE: 

If using the DOUGH setting, its cycle is complete at this time and ready for hand shaping, rising and 

baking in you own oven. An audible alert will sound and the bread maker will turn itself off after completion of the DOUGH cycle. 
 

RISE (2) –

 The dough is then allowed to rise again, but for a shorter period time. 

 

STIR DOWN

 – after the shorter rise time, the dough is again stirred down by the knead bar to remove excess gas and also to shape 

the dough into a ball for the final rise. This final knead ensures that the bread will have good texture. 
 

RISE (3) –

 The dough then goes into the final rise to achieve its maximum height. Again, you may hear faint clicking sounds during 

the rise as gentle heat is provided to keep the chamber warm. 
 

BAKE –

 The bread is then baked for the specified time depending on the Bread Color selection made: Light, Medium, Dark. An 

audible alert will sound when the bread is done and 0:00 will appear in the display. If the bread maker is not turned off, it will 
automatically go into the Keep Warm mode. After the bread is removed, deactivate program lock by holding LOCK button down for 3 
seconds or until word ‘lock’ disappears from display. Then turn bread maker off by holding down the START/STOP button for 3 
seconds or until the red signal light goes out.
