AUTOMATIC BREAD BAKER

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Symptom

The bread didnt

rise at all

(continued)

Possible Solutions

Make sure yeast is not left out. Also check the date code
on the yeast and that it is always the last ingredient put
into the pan. Make sure the yeast doesnt come into
contact with salt or any liquid ingredients.

The dough looks

like batter, or the
dough ball is still
sticky, not smooth
and round

During the Kneading process, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a

time, letting it mix in well. For most breads, your dough ball
should become round, smooth, not sticky to the touch, and
should bounce back when you press it with your finger.

The dough ball is

lumpy or too dry

During the Kneading process, add 1 tablespoon of water at a

time, letting it mix in well.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

TROUBLE SHOOTING

(continued)

When using the Breadman Automatic

Bread Baker, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, particularly
the following:

11.Do not let the cord hang over the edge

of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces. Do not place on an unsteady
or cloth-covered surface.

Symptom

Possible Solutions

The bread machine

does not bake
the bread

The Dough Program was selected. To bake the bread, choose

the appropriate program for baking bread.

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

12.Do not place the appliance near a hot

gas or electric burner, in a heated oven,
or in a microwave oven.

Bread has an
offensive odor

Check to be sure you added the correct amount of yeast.

Measure carefully too much yeast will cause an unpleasant
odor and may cause the loaf to rise too high.
Be sure to use only fresh ingredients.

Baked bread is soggy

or the breads surface
is sticky

Remove the bread from the Bread Pan as soon as it is

done baking. Leaving it in the pan allows condensation
to collect on the sides touching the pan.
Also be sure to cool the loaf on a wire rack; cooling it on
a countertop causes the side next to the counter to
become soggy.

The Kneading
Paddle was stuck
in the bread

Make sure the Kneading Paddle is mounted properly before

adding ingredients to the Bread Pan and baking.
Sometimes denser or crustier loaves of bread may pull the
Kneading Paddle out with them when you remove the loaves
after baking. When this happens, use a non-metal utensil and
gently remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf.

The bread rose

too high

Make sure not to add too much yeast, water or flour. Too
much of any of these may cause the loaf to rise more than
it should.

The bread didnt

rise enough

Did you add enough yeast, water or sweetener?

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs. Always use oven mitts when
handling hot materials and allow metal
parts to cool before cleaning.

13.Keep the unit at least 2 inches away

from walls or any other objects when
using it.

3. Unplug this product from wall outlet

when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool thoroughly before putting
on or taking off parts.

14. To disconnect, grip the plug and pull

it from the wall outlet. Never pull on
the cord.

4. Do not immerse appliance in water or

any other liquid.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

5. Close supervision is always necessary

when this or any appliance is used by
or near children.

Note:
A. A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
B. Extension cords are available and may
be used, but special care must be
exercised in use.
C. If an extension cord is used:
(1) the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and
(2) the cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
CAUTION: During use, the internal parts of
the Breadman and the area around the
Steam Vent are HOT.
Keep out of reach of children to avoid
possible injury.

6. Do not allow anything to rest on the

power cord. Do not plug in cord where
persons may walk or trip on it.
7. Do not operate this or any appliance
with a frayed or damaged cord, or after
the appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to Salton/MAXIM
Housewares, Inc. for examination
and repair.
8. Avoid contact with any moving parts.
9. Do not use attachments not
recommended by Breadman Products;
they may damage the appliance or
cause injury.
10.This appliance is intended for
household use only. Do not use
outdoors or for commercial purposes.
1

Make sure to add ingredients in the proper order: liquids,

dry ingredients, yeast. Make sure yeast doesnt get wet
until the Breadman mixes the ingredients together.
Note: Typically, bread made with whole grain flours
will not rise as high as bread made with refined flours.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE BREADMAN AUTOMATIC BREAD BAKER

The Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle have non-stick surfaces

that make cleaning easy.

Before using the Breadman for the first time, carefully read all
of the instructions included in this manual.

1. After baking each loaf of bread, unplug the Breadman

and discard any crumbs.

With your new Breadman :

You can use commonly available pre-packaged bread mixes.
Be sure they do not exceed 1-1/2 lb. loaf size. Follow the
instructions on the package.

2. Remove the Bread Pan from the Oven and the Kneading
Paddle from the Bread Pan. Then, as needed, wash the
Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle inside and out with warm,
soapy water. Avoid scratching the non-stick surfaces.
DO NOT PUT THE PAN IN A DISHWASHER.

You can bake a loaf of bread from scratch. See the

Recipe and Menu Planner included with your Breadman
for lots of tasty options.

If the Kneading Paddle is stuck to the Drive Shaft, pour

warm water in the Pan to loosen it.
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE.
3. Wipe the inside of the Lid and Oven with a damp cloth or
sponge. If any residue has scorched on the heating plate or
elsewhere, wipe with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad and
wipe clean.
Do not use vinegar, bleach, or harsh chemicals to clean
the Breadman.

You can make dough for rolls or shaped loaves youll bake in
a standard oven.
Use the Breadmans Dough Cycle to do the mixing and
kneading for you , then shape, proof and bake the bread
yourself in a conventional oven.
Inserting and
Removing the
Bread Pan

Do not soak the Bread Pan for a long period of time this
could interfere with the free working of the Drive Shaft.
Be sure the machine is completely cooled before storing.

Remember to insert the Kneading Paddle FIRST, then add

all ingredients.

The inner casing contains the heating element and drive base.
Therefore, when cleaning, NEVER pour water, solvents or
cleaning solutions into this area.

Caution

To insert the Bread Pan into the Oven Chamber, seat it into
place on a slight right angle with the marking Front
facing the front of the machine. While gently pressing down
turn the pan clockwise until it locks into place. You will
know it is in place when you pull gently on the handle and
the pan does not move.

To remove the Bread Pan: Grab the handle and gently turn
the pan counter-clockwise and pull out of the Oven
Chamber. AFTER BAKING MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS
WEAR OVEN MITTS TO AVOID BEING BURNED.

To avoid electric shock, unplug the Breadman

before cleaning!
Operating Tips

Use oven mitts when working with bread or any part of the
Breadman that is hot from baking.
Wipe off crumbs and clean as needed, after baking.
Unplug the Breadman when you are not using it.
It is normal for the Viewing Window to collect moisture
during the rise cycle. As your bread bakes, the moisture
soon will evaporate so you can watch your bread's baking
progress.
15

USING THE BREADMAN

USING THE TIMER

(continued)

Don't open the Lid during the Kneading or Baking

process. This causes the bread to bake improperly.
Don't unplug the Breadman during Kneading or
Baking. This will stop the operation and you will have to
start all over again, with new ingredients.

Caution

To protect young children, keep the Breadman out of their

reach when there is no supervision; especially during the
Kneading and Baking Cycles.
Use the Breadman on a flat, hard surface. Do not place it
near a flame or heat, or on a soft surface (such as a carpet).
Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use.
Dropping the Breadman could cause it to malfunction.
To avoid burns, stay clear of the Steam Vent during
Kneading and Baking Cycles. The Viewing Window can
get quite hot as well.
After baking, wait for the Breadman to cool down
before touching or cleaning the Bread Pan or internals
of the machine.
Never use metal utensils with the Breadman. These can
scratch the non-stick surface of the Bread Pan.
Avoid electric shock by unplugging the Breadman before
using a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of
the Oven.

Never use the Bread Pan on a gas or electric cooktop or on

an open flame.
Avoid covering the Steam Vent during Kneading or
Baking Cycles. This could cause the Breadman to warp
or discolor.

For Best Results

(continued)

Take care to measure ingredients accurately, using a good

set of measuring cups and spoons, or a good scale. Make
sure to level all dry ingredients as you measure them.
Inaccurate measuring could cause unexpected results in
your loaf of bread.
In particular, be precise in measuring the water.
After placing all the ingredients in the Baking Pan, wait
10 minutes before pressing Start, or use the Timer to add
10 minutes to the total processing cycle.
Use fresh ingredients.
Since moisture is an enemy to flour, be sure to store
your flour in an airtight container.
To keep your yeast active, store it in an airtight
container in your refrigerator.
Speaking of fresh when using the Timer, we recommend
setting it for as short a time as possible. Because ingredients
are partially combined in the Bread Pan, the dough may
tend to deteriorate if left too many hours, especially on a
warm or humid day.
Although you can preset the Breadman for Dough, we
only recommend this for prepackaged mixes. Eggs and dairy
products can easily spoil.
Keep the Lid closed during the Baking Cycle. Opening it
causes uneven baking.
After your bread has cooled completely, store it in a plastic
bag or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

14

USING THE TIMER

KNEADING AND BAKING CYCLES

STEP 10

When your bread is done, the

Breadman will beep. This indicates that
the Baking phase is completed. Press the
STOP Button, then put on your oven
mitts and remove the Bread Pan.

Remove the loaf from the Bread Pan.

Turn over the Bread Pan a few inches
from the countertop and gently shake out
the loaf. Its best to remove the loaf as
soon as the machine is done baking.

Remember that the Bread Pan and your

loaf are both very hot! Be careful not to
place either on a tablecloth, plastic
surface, or other surface that might
scorch or melt.

Place the loaf on a wire rack or other

ventilated cooling surface to cool. Bread
should be cooled slightly (30 minutes)
before it is sliced.

For all cycles except Dough and

Pizza Dough:

If necessary, remove the Kneading

Paddle from the loaf.

If the bread is not removed immediately

after baking and if the STOP Button is
not pressed, a controlled Keep Warm
Cycle will begin and the machine will
automatically shut off after 1 hour. While
this will help prevent the bread from
becoming soggy, for best results, remove
bread immediately after Baking Cycle
is complete.

Sometimes the Kneading Paddle will stick

in a loaf of bread. If it does, use a nonmetal utensil to gently remove it, taking
care not to scratch the Kneading Paddle.
When you are done using the Breadman,
be sure to unplug it.

12

STEP 7

STEP 8

HOW TO MAKE BREAD OR DOUGH

Always use the freshest ingredients available. By carefully following the simple recipes
that come with the Breadman, you will be able to bake delicious bread every time.

STEP 1

Press the CRUST Button to select what

color crust you would like for your
finished bread.
Every time this button is pressed the Crust
selection will be shown in the Display
Window. The selections are :
A. Light
b. Medium
C. Dark
If you forget to choose a crust color,
the Breadman will automatically select
A. Medium.
Note: The CRUST Button cannot be
used for Dough or Pizza Dough Cycles.

Press START to begin your chosen Cycle.

First, the Breadman will mix the ingredients.
Then it begins the Kneading process.
During this process, the yeast begins to
activate. The Breadman will go through
two Kneading Cycles with a rest period in
between. After this process the bread dough
will rise before baking.
If you plan on making bread with dried fruit
or nuts in it, add these ingredients when the
Breadman beeps several times after the
second Kneading Cycle. This will occur in
all Cycles except for the Dough and Pizza
Dough Cycles.
When the bread has finished baking, the
Breadman will beep to indicate that the
Baking Cycle is done. If the bread is not
removed immediately, a 1-hour Keep Warm
Function will begin. This will happen with all
cycles except Dough and Pizza Dough Cycles.
For best results it is best to remove the
finished loaf immediately upon completion of
the Baking Cycle. Use oven mitts to
remove the Baking Pan after baking as it
will be very hot.
* For the Whole Wheat Cycle, the
ingredients will have a 30 minute rest
period before any movement occurs in the
pan. After 30 minutes the Breadman will
begin to mix and knead the ingredients.
11

STEP 2

Open the Lid and remove the

Bread Pan.

Position the Kneading Paddle on the

Drive Shaft as shown.

STEP 4

STEP 3

Place the ingredients into the Bread Pan.

Make a small indentation on top of the

dry ingredients (not so deep it reaches
the wet layer) and add the yeast to
the indentation.

For best results, add all liquid ingredients

first. Then, add all dry ingredients
EXCEPT yeast.

This order of adding ingredients is

important, especially when using the
Timer, because it keeps the yeast away
from the liquid ingredients until its time
to knead them together. (Liquid
ingredients will activate the yeast.)

ALWAYS ADD YEAST LAST.

Note: If your recipe contains salt, please
add salt with liquid ingredients, keeping
it away from the yeast.

STEP 7

STEP 8

HOW TO MAKE BREAD OR DOUGH

Always use the freshest ingredients available. By carefully following the simple recipes
that come with the Breadman, you will be able to bake delicious bread every time.

STEP 1

Press the CRUST Button to select what

color crust you would like for your
finished bread.
Every time this button is pressed the Crust
selection will be shown in the Display
Window. The selections are :
A. Light
b. Medium
C. Dark
If you forget to choose a crust color,
the Breadman will automatically select
A. Medium.
Note: The CRUST Button cannot be
used for Dough or Pizza Dough Cycles.

Press START to begin your chosen Cycle.

First, the Breadman will mix the ingredients.
Then it begins the Kneading process.
During this process, the yeast begins to
activate. The Breadman will go through
two Kneading Cycles with a rest period in
between. After this process the bread dough
will rise before baking.
If you plan on making bread with dried fruit
or nuts in it, add these ingredients when the
Breadman beeps several times after the
second Kneading Cycle. This will occur in
all Cycles except for the Dough and Pizza
Dough Cycles.
When the bread has finished baking, the
Breadman will beep to indicate that the
Baking Cycle is done. If the bread is not
removed immediately, a 1-hour Keep Warm
Function will begin. This will happen with all
cycles except Dough and Pizza Dough Cycles.
For best results it is best to remove the
finished loaf immediately upon completion of
the Baking Cycle. Use oven mitts to
remove the Baking Pan after baking as it
will be very hot.
* For the Whole Wheat Cycle, the
ingredients will have a 30 minute rest
period before any movement occurs in the
pan. After 30 minutes the Breadman will
begin to mix and knead the ingredients.
11

STEP 2

Open the Lid and remove the

Bread Pan.

Position the Kneading Paddle on the

Drive Shaft as shown.

Gently grab the handle and turn the pan

counter-clockwise until it snaps out of
place. Pull out of the Oven Chamber.

Match the flat side of the Drive Shaft to

the flat part of the hole in the Kneading
Paddle. Make sure the Paddle is secure.

STEP 10

When your bread is done, the

Breadman will beep. This indicates that
the Baking phase is completed. Press the
STOP Button, then put on your oven
mitts and remove the Bread Pan.

Remove the loaf from the Bread Pan.

Turn over the Bread Pan a few inches
from the countertop and gently shake out
the loaf. Its best to remove the loaf as
soon as the machine is done baking.

Remember that the Bread Pan and your

loaf are both very hot! Be careful not to
place either on a tablecloth, plastic
surface, or other surface that might
scorch or melt.

Place the loaf on a wire rack or other

ventilated cooling surface to cool. Bread
should be cooled slightly (30 minutes)
before it is sliced.

For all cycles except Dough and

Pizza Dough:

If necessary, remove the Kneading

Paddle from the loaf.

If the bread is not removed immediately

after baking and if the STOP Button is
not pressed, a controlled Keep Warm
Cycle will begin and the machine will
automatically shut off after 1 hour. While
this will help prevent the bread from
becoming soggy, for best results, remove
bread immediately after Baking Cycle
is complete.

Sometimes the Kneading Paddle will stick

in a loaf of bread. If it does, use a nonmetal utensil to gently remove it, taking
care not to scratch the Kneading Paddle.
When you are done using the Breadman,
be sure to unplug it.

USING THE TIMER

KNEADING AND BAKING CYCLES

The Breadman Automatic Bread Baker has several Baking Cycles from which
you can choose:
The White: Light, Medium and Dark Cycles let you choose your favorite type of crust.
The Fruit & Nut Cycle is for breads such as apple-walnut or raisin bread with higher sugar content.
The Whole Wheat Cycle is designed specifically for breads that contain whole wheat flour.
The French Cycle is designed for crispy French or European breads.
The Dough and Pizza Dough Cycles are designed to mix and knead the dough for specially
shaped breads and for authentic pizza dough.
The following table shows how long each part of every Baking Cycle takes.

You can preset your Breadman to cook bread from 2 hours

and 50 minutes to 13 hours in advance. You can set the
Timer to make Dough from 1 hour 30 minutes to 13 hours
in advance or Pizza Dough from 50 minutes to 13 hours
in advance.
Note: Do not use the Timer if your recipe includes eggs,
fresh milk or other ingredients that may spoil.
To preset your Breadman , follow these steps:
1. Add your ingredients as usual, taking care not to let the
yeast and liquid ingredients contact one another.
2. Close the Breadman Lid and plug it in.
3. Press the SELECT Button for the Baking Cycle you

Note: If bread is not removed immediately after baking and the Stop button is not pressed, a controlled
1-hour Keep Warm function will begin for each selection (except Dough). While this will help reduce condensation
between loaf and Bread Pan, it is best to remove bread as soon as possible after completion of the baking phase.
13

USING THE BREADMAN

USING THE TIMER

(continued)

Don't open the Lid during the Kneading or Baking

process. This causes the bread to bake improperly.
Don't unplug the Breadman during Kneading or
Baking. This will stop the operation and you will have to
start all over again, with new ingredients.

Caution

To protect young children, keep the Breadman out of their

reach when there is no supervision; especially during the
Kneading and Baking Cycles.
Use the Breadman on a flat, hard surface. Do not place it
near a flame or heat, or on a soft surface (such as a carpet).
Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use.
Dropping the Breadman could cause it to malfunction.
To avoid burns, stay clear of the Steam Vent during
Kneading and Baking Cycles. The Viewing Window can
get quite hot as well.
After baking, wait for the Breadman to cool down
before touching or cleaning the Bread Pan or internals
of the machine.
Never use metal utensils with the Breadman. These can
scratch the non-stick surface of the Bread Pan.
Avoid electric shock by unplugging the Breadman before
using a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of
the Oven.

Never use the Bread Pan on a gas or electric cooktop or on

an open flame.
Avoid covering the Steam Vent during Kneading or
Baking Cycles. This could cause the Breadman to warp
or discolor.

For Best Results

(continued)

Take care to measure ingredients accurately, using a good

set of measuring cups and spoons, or a good scale. Make
sure to level all dry ingredients as you measure them.
Inaccurate measuring could cause unexpected results in
your loaf of bread.
In particular, be precise in measuring the water.
After placing all the ingredients in the Baking Pan, wait
10 minutes before pressing Start, or use the Timer to add
10 minutes to the total processing cycle.
Use fresh ingredients.
Since moisture is an enemy to flour, be sure to store
your flour in an airtight container.
To keep your yeast active, store it in an airtight
container in your refrigerator.
Speaking of fresh when using the Timer, we recommend
setting it for as short a time as possible. Because ingredients
are partially combined in the Bread Pan, the dough may
tend to deteriorate if left too many hours, especially on a
warm or humid day.
Although you can preset the Breadman for Dough, we
only recommend this for prepackaged mixes. Eggs and dairy
products can easily spoil.
Keep the Lid closed during the Baking Cycle. Opening it
causes uneven baking.
After your bread has cooled completely, store it in a plastic
bag or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

14

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE BREADMAN AUTOMATIC BREAD BAKER

The Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle have non-stick surfaces

that make cleaning easy.

Before using the Breadman for the first time, carefully read all
of the instructions included in this manual.

1. After baking each loaf of bread, unplug the Breadman

and discard any crumbs.

With your new Breadman :

You can use commonly available pre-packaged bread mixes.
Be sure they do not exceed 1-1/2 lb. loaf size. Follow the
instructions on the package.

2. Remove the Bread Pan from the Oven and the Kneading
Paddle from the Bread Pan. Then, as needed, wash the
Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle inside and out with warm,
soapy water. Avoid scratching the non-stick surfaces.
DO NOT PUT THE PAN IN A DISHWASHER.

You can bake a loaf of bread from scratch. See the

Recipe and Menu Planner included with your Breadman
for lots of tasty options.

If the Kneading Paddle is stuck to the Drive Shaft, pour

warm water in the Pan to loosen it.
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE.
3. Wipe the inside of the Lid and Oven with a damp cloth or
sponge. If any residue has scorched on the heating plate or
elsewhere, wipe with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad and
wipe clean.
Do not use vinegar, bleach, or harsh chemicals to clean
the Breadman.

You can make dough for rolls or shaped loaves youll bake in
a standard oven.
Use the Breadmans Dough Cycle to do the mixing and
kneading for you , then shape, proof and bake the bread
yourself in a conventional oven.
Inserting and
Removing the
Bread Pan

Do not soak the Bread Pan for a long period of time this
could interfere with the free working of the Drive Shaft.
Be sure the machine is completely cooled before storing.

Remember to insert the Kneading Paddle FIRST, then add

all ingredients.

The inner casing contains the heating element and drive base.
Therefore, when cleaning, NEVER pour water, solvents or
cleaning solutions into this area.

Caution

To insert the Bread Pan into the Oven Chamber, seat it into
place on a slight right angle with the marking Front
facing the front of the machine. While gently pressing down
turn the pan clockwise until it locks into place. You will
know it is in place when you pull gently on the handle and
the pan does not move.

To remove the Bread Pan: Grab the handle and gently turn
the pan counter-clockwise and pull out of the Oven
Chamber. AFTER BAKING MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS
WEAR OVEN MITTS TO AVOID BEING BURNED.

To avoid electric shock, unplug the Breadman

before cleaning!
Operating Tips

Use oven mitts when working with bread or any part of the
Breadman that is hot from baking.
Wipe off crumbs and clean as needed, after baking.
Unplug the Breadman when you are not using it.
It is normal for the Viewing Window to collect moisture
during the rise cycle. As your bread bakes, the moisture
soon will evaporate so you can watch your bread's baking
progress.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

TROUBLE SHOOTING

(continued)

When using the Breadman Automatic

Bread Baker, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, particularly
the following:

11.Do not let the cord hang over the edge

of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces. Do not place on an unsteady
or cloth-covered surface.

Symptom

Possible Solutions

The bread machine

does not bake
the bread

The Dough Program was selected. To bake the bread, choose

the appropriate program for baking bread.

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

12.Do not place the appliance near a hot

gas or electric burner, in a heated oven,
or in a microwave oven.

Bread has an
offensive odor

Check to be sure you added the correct amount of yeast.

Measure carefully too much yeast will cause an unpleasant
odor and may cause the loaf to rise too high.
Be sure to use only fresh ingredients.

Baked bread is soggy

or the breads surface
is sticky

Remove the bread from the Bread Pan as soon as it is

done baking. Leaving it in the pan allows condensation
to collect on the sides touching the pan.
Also be sure to cool the loaf on a wire rack; cooling it on
a countertop causes the side next to the counter to
become soggy.

The Kneading
Paddle was stuck
in the bread

Make sure the Kneading Paddle is mounted properly before

adding ingredients to the Bread Pan and baking.
Sometimes denser or crustier loaves of bread may pull the
Kneading Paddle out with them when you remove the loaves
after baking. When this happens, use a non-metal utensil and
gently remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf.

The bread rose

too high

Make sure not to add too much yeast, water or flour. Too
much of any of these may cause the loaf to rise more than
it should.

The bread didnt

rise enough

Did you add enough yeast, water or sweetener?

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs. Always use oven mitts when
handling hot materials and allow metal
parts to cool before cleaning.

13.Keep the unit at least 2 inches away

from walls or any other objects when
using it.

3. Unplug this product from wall outlet

when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool thoroughly before putting
on or taking off parts.

14. To disconnect, grip the plug and pull

it from the wall outlet. Never pull on
the cord.

4. Do not immerse appliance in water or

any other liquid.

Make sure to add ingredients in the proper order: liquids,

dry ingredients, yeast. Make sure yeast doesnt get wet
until the Breadman mixes the ingredients together.
Note: Typically, bread made with whole grain flours
will not rise as high as bread made with refined flours.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Symptom

The bread didnt

rise at all

(continued)

Possible Solutions

Make sure yeast is not left out. Also check the date code
on the yeast and that it is always the last ingredient put
into the pan. Make sure the yeast doesnt come into
contact with salt or any liquid ingredients.

The dough looks

like batter, or the
dough ball is still
sticky, not smooth
and round

During the Kneading process, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a

time, letting it mix in well. For most breads, your dough ball
should become round, smooth, not sticky to the touch, and
should bounce back when you press it with your finger.

The dough ball is

lumpy or too dry

During the Kneading process, add 1 tablespoon of water at a

time, letting it mix in well.
