Fats (butter & oils)
Butter and oils add a lot of flavor to breads, but it prevents gluten formation which will
result in smaller bread. Butter should be melted or cut into small pieces before adding
to the baking pan.
Egg
Eggs help bind the ingredients together and act as a leavening agent. It also helps
the browning of the crust. Usually the breads rise very high and are larger in size.
Always mix the eggs before adding to the baking pan. Always incorporate the egg
mixture with the liquid ingredients.
Yeast
Yeast is essential for making bread. It is used to make the dough rise by producing
carbon dioxide. This is referred to as the fermentation process. The dough expands
as it warms and bakes. Always use fresh yeast, if not bread will not rise properly. Yeast
should always be added last. Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour then add
yeast. It is important that yeast is not in contact with any liquid ingredients or salt. This
is important especially when using the DELAY function.

Baking powder / Baking soda
Baking powder and baking soda are a quick leavening agent that require less time to
rise than yeast. It is recommended when using the ULTRA FAST and CAKE functions.
Baking powder and baking soda can be combined. Use your finger to form a well
(hole) in the flour then add baking powder/soda.

Due to the initial heating of the materials used in
the manufacturing of the product, some light smoke/
vapors may be released when used initially.
This is normal.
Bread was left in the bread maker for too long on
warm mode after baking is over. Remove bread from
baking pan once baking is over and let it cool down
on a cooling rack.
Fill the baking pan with warm water and a little bit
of dish soap and let it soak for about 30 minutes.
The wrong baking function was selected. Make sure
to select the baking function according to the type
of flour and ingredients used.
