HOW TO SET AND USE DAILY TIMER FOR BAKING BREAD
For those who bake bread often and want to have their bread finished and ready to eat at a certain time each day, such as at 7:00 AM for breakfast or 6:00 PM for dinner, the DAILY TIMER makes this simple. Once it is programmed as below, all you need do is press DAILY TIMER and your timer will be set. If you would like the Home Bakery to finish a yeast bread cycle at a future time between 4 and 13 hours, you can use the DAILY TIMER to program that time. This feature can be used only for WHITE/WHOLE GRAIN and FRENCH BREAD yeast settings using water instead of milk. Recipes that call for milk or eggs should not be programmed ahead for food safety reasons. After baking pan with ingredients is placed in the Home Bakery, press the SELECT COURSE key until arrow points to WHITE/WHOLE GRAIN or FRENCH BREAD. If using WHITE/WHOLE GRAIN setting, you can also set the CRUST CONTROL arrow to the desired setting.

Step 1

Step 2 Step 3
Press the TIME SETTING key twice. The word MEMORY will be shown on the display panel. The COMPLETION TIME will blink. To set completion time, press the HOURS key until display panel under COMPLETION TIME read the hour you wish to have the bread finished. Set the MINUTES key until display panel reads the time in minutes (the minutes advance in 10-minute increments).

Step 4 Step 5

Press SET to set DAILY TIMER. Press DAILY TIMER key at top of machine. Beeps will sound, then timer will begin to operate. The green TIMER light on left top of panel will go on and the cycle will automatically continue through baking and cooling phases. It is not necessary to press START. Note: The next time you prepare the same recipe, merely press DAILY TIMER and your bread will be ready at the already programmed time. If you are using a different recipe, you may need to adjust the SELECT COURSE and CRUST CONTROL settings.

USING THE TIMER

When you want to set the TIMER to start the Home Bakery at a specified time, not a time you have programmed into the DAILY TIMER, follow these steps. Note that recipes that call for milk or eggs should not be programmed for food safety reasons. After baking pan with ingredients is placed in the Home Bakery, press the SELECT COURSE key until arrow points to WHITE/WHOLE GRAIN or FRENCH BREAD. If using WHITE/WHOLE GRAIN setting, you can also set the CRUST CONTROL arrow to point to desired setting. Press the TIME SETTING key once. The COMPLETION TIME on the display panel will blink, showing a time of 4 hours from the present for WHITE/WHOLE GRAIN setting, or 4 hours and 30 minutes for the FRENCH BREAD setting. The word TIMER will also be shown on the display panel. To set completion time, press the HOURS key until display panel under COMPLETION TIME reads the hour you wish to have the bread finished. Set the Minutes key until display panel reads the time in minutes (the minutes advance in 10-minute increments). Press TIMER key at top right of panel. Beeps will sound and timer will begin. The green TIMER light on left top of panel will also go on and the cycle will automatically continue through baking and cooling phases. It is not necessary to press START. - 15 -

ABOUT THE LITHIUM BATTERY

IF THE POWER GOES OFF

QUESTIONS AND ANSWER

Questions & Answers

Q. May I open the lid during operation: A. You may open the lid for short times during the kneading to add ingredients and to make sure the dough is neither too dry nor too wet. At this time a tablespoon or so of either liquid or flour added may make the consistency perfect. It is not good to open the lid during rising and baking because heat will escape and cause less than perfect results in the bread. Q. Why do the height and shape of my bread loaves differ from time to time? A. The room temperature, weather, humidity, altitude and fluctuation of household current can affect the final outcome of your bread. Be sure to measure carefully and use fresh ingredients. Using a large proportion of whole grain or heavier flours may cause the loaf to be more compact and not as tall. Q. Why didnt my bread rise completely: A. Check to see whether the kneading rod and blade were firmly attached to the baking pan. If they are missing or not installed properly, the kneading and rising stages may be adversely affected. Check to see whether the yeast was added. Make sure the yeast has not passed the expiration date on the package. Q. Why does the bread have an unusual odor? A. Stale ingredients or too much yeast may have been used. Be sure to use fresh ingredients and measure accurately. Q. Can fresh milk plus water be used in place of dry milk? A. Yes. Be sure to substitute the identical amount of milk for the amount of water called for. Remove about 2 tablespoons powered dry milk for each 1 1/4 cups of water. The loaf will be shorter and the crust will be darker. Q. Why do my bread and cakes sometimes have unmixed flour on the side crust? A. Sometimes the flour may remain on the sides of the baking pan and will bake onto the sides of the loaf. If this happens, trim off that portion of the outer crust with a sharp knife. Q. Why does the machine blink ERROR when I have programmed my machine to start? A. There are several reasons. If the interior temperature of the machine is too warm from just having been used to bake a previous recipe, the machine will not begin until it has cooled down to the proper temperature. If you have set the DAILY TIMER or TIMER to finish in less than 4 hours (or 4 hours, 40 minutes for French Bread), or more than 13 hours from the present time, the machine will show an error message. Press the RESET key to reset to correct time. Also, if the TIMER key has been pressed at a setting other than WHITE/WHOLE GRAIN or FRENCH BREAD, the machine will show an error message. The TIMER and the DAILY TIMER work only on white and French bread settings.

HOW THE HOME BAKERY WORKS
How the Home Bakery Works
Read this section thoroughly to understand how to select the course you desire for superb results with our recipes and yours. The Home Bakery allows you to choose from eight different settings, depending on the type of recipe you're using.
Settings for Yeast Breads include:
Basic White Bread For any ordinary yeast bread recipe; this is the setting you'll use most often. It takes about 3 hours and 50 minutes from start to finish. See page 10 for step-by-step instructions, or page 9 for our "Quick Start" white bread. Quick Baking When you're in hurry, this setting allows you to have yeast breads in about 2 hours and 50 minutes, or about an hour faster than the "Basic White Bread" setting. This setting is perfect for when you're using the "fast-rise" yeast. It allows for shortened kneading and rising times in the cycle. See page 10 for stepby-step instructions. Raisin Bread This setting is not just for raisin bread, but for any yeast bread that calls for extra ingredients such as raisins, nuts, onions, or shredded cheese that must be added after the initial mixing and kneading, Ten beeps will sound after about 30 to 45 minutes into the cycle; an indication that you can sagely lift the lid and add additional ingredients. Be sure to close the lid again until the baking is complete. Cycle takes 3 hours and 50 minutes. see page 10 for step-by-step instructions. Extra ingredients may be added before beeps sound while machine is operating in "Knead 2" stage. French Bread For less rich doughs like French bread dough that call for less kneading and more rising time, use this setting. The cycle takes longest of all, about 4 hours and 30 minutes. See page 11 for step-by-step instructions. Dough Setting When you're preparing doughs that call for shaping and conventional baking in other types of bread pans, choose this cycle. It will mix and knead dough, as well as allow one rising before the machine beeps "complete." At this stage, the dough is ready to remove from the machine to shape as you desire. Allow the dough to rise once again before baking. Use this setting to make doughs for fancier breads such as brioche, croissants, and bagels. The dough cycle takes 1 hour and 30 minutes in the machine. See page 11 for step-by-step instruction. Each yeast bread setting goes through the same functions, but each setting allows for different mixing, kneading, rising, and baking times,. Here's a chart to show you approximately how the machine is programmed for each setting. Note that the time of each process can vary slightly depending on the room temperature and the fluctuation of household current.

Home Made Menu This "custom course" is for yeast bread recipes only; it allow you to set your own kneading, rising, and baking times according to your won recipe. This is especially well-suited to making heavier breads such as fruit breads and dark breads, which often call for more rising and longer baking. Home Made Menu Memory If you have a favorite recipes of your own that you'd like to prepare often, you can program kneading, rising, and baking times into the machine's memory. Pushing this button again allows you to recall the same cycle next time.

START BAKING! QUICK START WHITE BREAD
Start Baking! Quick Start White Bread
Here's a fast way to start using your Home Bakery. Follow this step-by-step method to make our Basic White Bread recipe.

Step 1:

Remove baking pan from unit by pulling it up and out of the unit with the handle. Attach kneading blade to the rotating shaft. Insert the kneading rod into the hole at the side of the baking pan by fitting the two tiny dins on the kneading rod into the slots on the hole of the baking pan, Into the baking pan measure in order: 1-1/4 cups milk 1-1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 teaspoons salt 3 cups high protein, bromated flour for bread (13 to 14 ounces).

Step 3:

Plug in unit. The display panel will show the present time, with a "Medium" Baking degree and "Basic White Bread" Select Course setting. So just press 'Start." (The red "Preheating/Operation" light will go on and the completion time and present time will show on the front panel.) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet. reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do no attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Step 4:

When the yellow "Complete" light flashes, bread is done,. You can remove pan now, or wait until cooling completes and machine beeps. Use hotpads to remove baking pan fro unit. Pull out kneading rod on outside of pan; turn bread loaf out onto cooling rack. Cool before slicing. Makes 1 loaf.
BASIC STEPS FOR PROGRAMMING YEAST BREAD SETTINGS
Basic Steps for Programming Yeast Bread Settings For Basic Bread Setting For Quick Baking Setting
For Basic White Bread Setting:
Step 1: Remove baking pan by opening the machine lid and holding baking pan by its handle. Attach the kneading blade to the rotating shaft (see diagram on page 4). Insert the kneading rod through the outside of the baking pan by fitting the two small fins of the kneading rod to the slots in the outside hole on the baking pan. The kneading blade and rod must be firmly attached to insure proper mixing, and to prevent fluids from leaking through the baking pan. Step 2: Place ingredients in the baking pan in the order given in the recipe. The yeast always goes on top, so that it does not come in contact with the liquid during the preheating stage. This machine automatically preheats the liquids to the proper temperature before the mixture goes through the mixing process. Step 3: Insert the baking pan into the unit with the kneading rod facing the front panel and the handle folded down toward the front. The kneading rod should slide firmly into the holder inside the front of the unit, and the pan should "snap" into place. Then close the lid. Step 4: Plug in the machine, and the display panel will show the present time (if time needs to be set, see "Setting the Clock" page 6). The panel will also show a "Medium" Baking Degree and the "Basic White Bread" setting. Step 5: Change the Baking Degree setting by pressing to desired "Light," "Medium," or "Dark." "Medium" is usually the best setting for basic yeast breads that contain little sugar or added ingredients. Step 6: If you wish to start the cycle immediately, press "Start." The red "Preheating/Operation" light will go on, until liquids reach the proper temperature. The panel will also display the completion time. Step 7: Do not lift the lid during the cycle. You can check progress by looking through the viewing window. Be careful not to touch the sides of the machine during the baking process, as the outer surfaces can become uncomfortably hot. Step 8: The "Complete" light will start blinking about 30 minutes before the end of the cooling cycle. You can allow the bread to cook inside the unit, or remove it immediately. To remove, press the "Reset" button to stop the cycle. Or, wait until the machine beeps about 8 times and flashing light stops to indicate the end of the cycle. Step 9: Remove baking pan by grasping the handle with hotpads and pulling the pan up out of the unit. Be sure to place the baking pan on a heatproof surface (never on top of the Home Bakery). With hotpads pull out the kneading rod; then turn bread out onto a cooking rack. If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, remove it with a pair of tongs or a hotpad. Unplug the Home Bakery. Turn bread upright on rack; cool completely before slicing. An average loaf is about 6 -7 inches tall. The top crust may be rounded, or have a wavy, undulating shape; these are normal results and do not affect the quality of your load.

Cleaning the Machine and Baking Pan
Since dust and crumbs left inside the unit may cause scorching or uneven baking with the next use, be sure to clean both the pan and the unit thoroughly each time you use the Home Bakery. Both the Home Bakery and the base of the baking pan are not immersible in water or other liquids, but are easy to clean. You can wipe off the outside of the Home Bakery, as well as the top lid with a damp cloth. Clean the viewing window by wiping with a moist paper towel; wipe dry. Remove the lid to wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Use a damp cloth to wipe out the sides and bottom of the interior of the machine where dust accumulates. To clean the baking pan, fill the just-emptied pan with lukewarm water and detergent. If there is residue in the pan, allow it to soak for 30 minutes. Clean the inside of the baking pan with a soft sponge, being careful not to damage the rubber seal under the kneading blade. Remove the kneading rod; if the fitting on the pan is clogged, clean it with a soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush. Both the baking pan, kneading rod and kneading blade are coated with a non-stick finish. Do not use hard utensils such as forks, knives or metal spatulas inside the baking pan. Do no clean with metal scrubbers or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the coasting. The coating may change color after long use; this is cause by moisture and steam inside the machine and will not affect the performance of the Home Bakery.

Storing the Home Bakery

Cool the unit completely with the lid open. Clean unit and baking pan as described above. Be sure that all moisture inside the unit has dried completely before closing lid to store. Do no store in a moist area, or near a gas flame or heat source. Do not place heavy objects on the top lid; the seal could be damaged. - 15 -
The Home Made Menu Setting When the Power Goes Off Abou the Lithium Battery Questions & Answers

When the Power Goes Off

If the power goes off while the machine is running through a cycle, the operation will no be affected if the power returns within ten minutes. If the timer is being used, it will continue to operate. If power in interrupted and returns after more than ten minutes, the cycle will stop and the "completion Time" indication on the display panel will blink. Of the timer had been set, and it has passed the starting time by more than 10 minutes, the panel display will blink "Completion Time" and the machine will start the cycle. If power is interrupted for an extended length of time, remove the dough and begin again with new ingredients when the power resumes.
About the Lithium Battery
The Home Bakery has a built-in lithium battery which operates the clock and memory functions, even when the machine is not plugged in. If the machine is stored unplugged, the battery will last 4 to 5 years. The battery lasts longer if the machine is plugged into a household outlet. when the battery needs to be replaces, the display panel will blink "8:00 a.m." Do not attempt to change the battery; send your Home Bakery to an authorized service center to replace it.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q1. Why do the height and shape of my bread loaves differ? A. Both the room temperature and fluctuation of household current can affect the final outcome of your bread load. Also, measure ingredients carefully, and be sure to use fresh ingredients every time you bake. Q2. Why didn't my bread rise completely? A. Check to see whether the kneading rod and kneading blade were firmly attached to the baking pans if there are missing or not installed properly, both the kneading and rising stages can be adversely affected. Check to see whether the yeast was added. And note that you do not need to heat liquids for yeast breads; the machine preheats liquids for you. Q3. Why do may breads and cakes sometimes have unmixed flour on the side crust? A. In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the corners of the baking pan, and will bake onto the sides of the load. When this happens, simply trim off that portion of the outer curst with a sharp knife. Q4. What should I do if I made a mistake in setting the course for baking? A. Simply press the "Reset" button to reset the Baking Degree, course or other settings. Q5. Why can't raisins, nuts, and other such ingredients be added with the other ingredients at the beginning of baking breads and cakes? A. With the mixing and kneading action of the machine, ingredients such as raisins and dried fruit tend to become mashed and misshapen. Adding these items later in the cycle insures that they'll be evenly distributed and will maintain their shape in the loaf or cake. Q6. Why does smoke sometimes come from the steam vent during the cycle? A. Flour dust and other residue inside the unit occasionally falls on the heating cild and burn onto the coil. White not usually cause for alarm, it's best to prevent this from happening by wiping out the inside of the machine with a damp cloth after each use. Q7. Why does the display panel blink "Hot" when I insert the baking pan? A. If you insert the baking pan with ingredients and program the machine immediately after a previous recipe was baked, the machine will be too warm to start the process again. Open the lid to cook the inside; the "Hot" signal will turn off automatically when the machine is ready to start again. Q8. Why does the machine panel blink "Error" when I have programmed my machine to start? A. There could be several reasons for this. If the interior temperature of the machine is too warm (from just using the machine to bake a previous recipe), the machine will not begin until it has cooked down to the proper temperature. If you have set the "Memory" timer or the "Timer" to finish in less that 4 hours (or 4 hours, 40 minutes for French bread), or more than 13 hours from the present time, the machine will show an error message. Press the "reset" key to reset to correct time. Also, if the "Memory" key has bee pressed at another setting besides "Basic White Bread" or "French bread," the machine will show an error message, since the memory works only on the white bread and French bread settings. - 16 -
