BECOME FAMILIAR WITH CONTROL PANEL 
Before using your bread maker, it is important that you understand how to 
use the control panel, as this is the “brain” of the machine.  Review the 
following features to better understand what each button is designed to do 
and the options that are available to you when using this machine.  The 
control panel will look like one shown below, the only difference being 
one features a LOCK button.   
 
BREAD SELECT BUTTON 
The BREAD SELECT button lets you choose SIX different bread 
settings as well as a dough setting.  With each press of the BREAD 
SELECT button, the settings of the bread/dough menu will appear in the 
display as well as the time required to complete each setting as follows:

Hours 

and 

Minutes 

BASIC…………………………………………..  3:40 
BASIC RAPID………………………………….  3:00 
WHOLE WHEAT………………………………  4:20 
WHOLE WHEAT RAPID……………………… 3:30 
FRENCH………………………………………... 4:10 
SWEET………………………………………….  3:50 
DOUGH…………………………………………  1:20 

 

The BASIC and BASIC RAPID settings can be used for almost any bread recipe containing at least 50% bread flour.  If a 
recipe contains less than 50% bread flour, then use the WHOLE WHEAT settings as these settings feature a longer knead 
cycle, which is beneficial for whole grain flours.  The rapid versions of the BASIC and WHOLE WHEAT settings require 
the use of bread machine/fast rising yeast rather than active dry yeast as the rise times are shorter at the RAPID settings to 
accommodate the faster rising yeasts, thus the total process time is shorter. 

 

The FRENCH setting can be used to prepare French or Italian type breads, which have crisp, chewy crusts.  Either active 
dry or bread machine/fast rising yeast can be used at this setting. 

 

The SWEET setting allows you to add ingredients such as raisins, dried fruit, nuts, cheese, etc. during the knead cycle to 
ensure ingredients are well mixed, but not crushed.  Midway through the knead cycle; an audible alert will sound to indicate 
the proper time to add ingredients.  Simply open cover and add ingredients as directed in recipe.  Close cover and the cycle 
will be completed.  Either active dry or bread machine/fast rising yeast can be used at this setting. 

 

The DOUGH setting allows you to prepare just the dough itself for hand shaping and conventional baking in your own 
oven.  The DOUGH setting will mix the ingredients, knead the dough and allow it to rise.  The dough will then be stirred 
down into a ball and an audible alert will sound to let you know it’s time to remove the dough for hand shaping or forming.  
Either active dry or bread machine/fast rising yeast can be used at the DOUGH setting. 
BREAD COLOR BUTTON 
The BREAD COLOR button lets you choose THREE different crust colors for your bread,.  With each press of the 
BREAD COLOR button, the following crust colors, Light, Medium or Dark will appear in the display.  Select the desired 
crust color you wish for the bread recipe you are preparing.  When preparing the small 1-pound loaf, we recommend you 
use the LIGHT or MEDIUM crust color to prevent overbrowning of the smaller loaf. 

 

LOCK BUTTON – (Featured on Some Models) - The LOCK button locks the selected program into the control 
panel after the bread maker has been turned on.  (It does not lock the cover).  The LOCK feature will prevent accidental 
tampering of the control buttons, which can interfere with the bread making process.  The LOCK button is an optional 
feature on some models.  If your machine does not have this button, ignore reference to it in the instructions.  To activate 
the LOCK feature, you must first program desired Bread Select, Bread Color and Delay Timer if being used.  Then turn the 
bread maker on.  Press the LOCK button to lock the program into control.  If you try to activate the LOCK feature before 
the machine is turned on, an alert will sound to remind you to turn the machine on first.  When activated, the word ‘LOCK’ 
will appear in display. 

 

After the bread is done, you must first hold down the LOCK button until the word ‘LOCK’ disappears from the display 
before the machine can be turned off.  If in the Dough mode, the LOCK feature will be released when the bread maker 
automatically turns off upon completion of the cycle.
