Breadmaking Tip
After 5 minutes of kneading, open the lid of the breadmaker and
check the dough consistency. The dough should form a soft, tacky
ball. If too dry, add liquid. If too wet, add flour. Additional liquid or
flour should be added in 1/2 - 1 tablespoon increments.
11
The Breadmaker is designed with a KEEP WARM feature that
automatically begins when the bake time is completed. This will
continue for up to 60 minutes after baking is complete. During this
time, the Breadmaker will circulate hot air to keep the bread warm.
You may remove the baking pan at any time during the KEEP WARM
cycle. To turn off the KEEP WARM feature before the 60 minutes are
up, simply press the STOP button and hold it until you hear a beep.
UNPLUG THE UNIT WHEN FINISHED. Never leave the unit plugged
in when not in use.
Note:
The KEEP WARM feature does not function on some cycles. See
Breadmaker Cycle Times, page 21.
Using Your Breadmaker
12
The Breadmaker has a convenient viewing window so that you
may watch the progress of the bread as it is mixed, kneaded, and
baked. Occasionally, some moisture may form in the window
during baking. You may lift the lid to look inside during mixing and
kneading stages. However, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING
THE BAKING CYCLE, (approximately the last hour) as this may
cause the bread to collapse.
Warning
To avoid damaging the Breadmaker, do not put any object on top
of the unit.
13
To remove the bread from the baking pan, use pot holders or oven
mitts and pull up on the side handles. Place the bread pan on a wire
cooling rack for 10 - 15 minutes. Turn the pan upside down and shake
the bread out and place the bread onto a wire cooling rack. You can
remove the bread from the bread pan immediately after the baking
cycle; however, it will require more effort to remove it. If you have
difficulty removing bread from the baking pan, slide a flat rubber or
plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the
pan over and shake the loaf out.
Caution:
The baking pan has a nonstick finish so the bread should
come out easily. Do not use metal utensils to remove bread as they
may scratch the nonstick surface.
14
Allow the bread to cool before slicing. If the kneading blade remains
in the bottom of the baking pan, fill the baking pan with hot water
to loosen. If the kneading blade remains in the bottom of the bread,
use the blade removal tool to remove. Do not use a knife or any
other sharp metal object as it will scratch the nonstick coating on
the kneading blade.
Caution:
Always check to see where the kneading blade is when
removing a baked loaf of bread. If it remains stuck in the bread, you
may damage it by cutting into it while slicing.
Important:
Fill pan with warm water immediately after removing
bread to prevent blades from sticking to shaft.
