IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Consumer Services for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

• A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
  1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
  2. the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
  3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

POWER OUTAGE 

10-Minute Power Failure Back-Up
Your Professional Bread Maker has a 10-minute power failure back-up feature. If the electricity goes out, the memory will store your cycle selection for up to 10 minutes. If the power comes back on within this time, bread making will resume where it left off. 
If the bread maker loses power for more than 10 minutes and you are using any dairy products, perishables or meat in your bread, you should discard the contents of the recipe and start again with new fresh ingredients due to health and sanitary considerations. For nonperishable recipes you may try starting the bread maker at the beginning of the cycle again. However, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread. 
If you are not sure when the outage occurred, remove the dough and discard.

KNEADING AND BAKING CYCLES

Note: If at any time during bread making process you need to turn bread maker off, press and hold the START/STOP button for several seconds, then unplug the unit.
Note: If bread is not removed immediately after baking and START/STOP button is not pressed, a controlled 60-minute Keep Warm mode will begin (except during Quick Bread, Dough and Jam). For best results, remove bread immediately after baking process is complete.

• WHITE
  Used for breads that primarily include white bread flour, although some recipes may include small amounts of whole wheat flour.
• WHOLE WHEAT
  Used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats or bran. Whole wheat cycle begins with rest period during which flours or grains absorb liquid ingredients. Soaking causes flour or grain to soften and helps ingredients to combine. Generally, whole wheat and multi-grain breads are shorter and denser than white, French or sweet.
• FRENCH 
  Traditionally, French bread has a slightly crispier crust and lighter texture than white bread. Recipes usually do not include butter, margarine or milk.
• SWEET 
  Used for recipes that contain eggs, fruit juice, additional sugar or added sweet ingredients such as coconut flakes, raisins, dried fruit or chocolate. Baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning.
• QUICK BREAD
  Used for recipes that contain baking powder or baking soda, rather than yeast, to make bread rise. Cake recipes made from scratch must be specially designed for this cycle. 
• LOW CARB 
  Used for recipes that are lower in carbohydrates. 
• GLUTEN-FREE 
  Used for gluten-free recipes.
• DOUGH
  Use to prepare dough for making bread, rolls or pizza which are shaped and allowed to rise before baking in a conventional oven. This setting blends and kneads the dough and takes it through the first rise.
• ARTISAN DOUGH
  Artisan breads (or country breads) represent the best in bread baking. They use the freshest ingredients, usually including fresh herbs and interesting seed and nut additions. The longer rising 
  time (the entire cycle in the bread machine is 5:15 hours) at cooler temperature settings (preset in the machine) allow the flavor of the flour to dominate. Consider using ingredients such as, organic flours, unrefined sea salt and spring water. Sugar and fat are often not used in these breads. The final shaping, rising and baking of the bread allow for your creativity and bring a very personal touch to the results.
• JAM
  Use to prepare preserves, marmalade, chutneys and ketchup.  Add fruit, sugar and lemon juice for homemade preserves –  a great topping for homemade bread, waffles and ice cream.
• BAKE ONLY
  Used if crust is too light or you wish to bake pre-made dough – also especially useful if your bread is not quite done. Check every few minutes. Bakes for up to 1 hour, 30 minutes. 
• RAPID 
  Used for White, Whole Wheat and French cycles to decrease time to approximately 1 hour. Choose recipe, then simply add ½ tsp. to amount of yeast listed for a 2-lb. loaf. Bread may be shorter and denser than bread made using the longer program.

Breadman BREAD MAKER BK1060S KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS

TIPS ON FLOUR STORAGE
Keep flour in a secure, airtight container. Store rye and whole wheat flours in a refrigerator, freezer or a cool area to prevent them from becoming rancid. Allow flour to come to room temperature before using.
Note: Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different in how they are ground, milled, stored, etc. You may have to experiment with different brands of flour to help you make the perfect loaf. See RECIPE TIPS to assist with these experiments.
YEAST
Active yeast, through a fermentation process, produces carbon dioxide gas necessary to make bread rise. Yeast feeds on carbohydrates in sugar and flour to produce this gas. Three different types of yeast are available: fresh (cake), active dry and quick-acting. Quick, rapid rise and bread machine yeasts are quick-acting. Fresh (cake) yeast is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with your bread maker.
TIPS ON YEAST
Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date. Ideally, yeast should be used several months before the expiration date. Once a package or jar of yeast is opened, it is important that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated or frozen for future use. Often dough that fails to rise is due to stale yeast.
Note: Basic bread and dough recipes in this booklet were developed using bread machine yeasy (active dry yeast). You may use chart to substitute any quick-acting yeast (quick rise or fast rise) for bread machine yeast.

CONVERSION CHART FOR BREAD MACHINE YEAST

• ¾ tsp. bread machine yeast = ½ tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 1 tsp. bread machine yeast = ¾ tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 1½ tsp. bread machine yeast = 1 tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 2¼ tsp. bread machine yeast = 1½ tsp. quick-acting yeast
• 1 tbsp. bread machine yeast = 2 tsp. quick-acting yeast

RAPID CYCLES
Rapid cycle settings for White, Whole Wheat and French decrease time for making your favorite bread in approximately 1 hour. Choose recipe, then add an additional ½ tsp. of bread machine yeast to the recipe.  The bread may be shorter and denser.

Description about Breadman BREAD MAKER BK1060S

The Breadman BREAD MAKER BK1060S is a high-quality bread maker that is perfect for both beginners and experienced bakers. With 17 settings, you can easily make a variety of breads, doughs, and jams. The bread maker also features a delay timer, so you can have fresh bread ready when you wake up or come home from work. The viewing window allows you to keep an eye on the bread while it's baking, and the cool-touch exterior ensures that the bread maker stays safe to touch. The non-stick, removable baking pan makes cleaning a breeze, and the included measurement cup and spoon help ensure that your bread turns out perfect every time.

CLIMATE CHANGES & BAKING

• In high-altitude areas (over 3,000 feet) dough tends to rise faster, as there is less air pressure. Therefore, less yeast is necessary.
• In dry climates, flour is drier and requires slightly more liquid.
• In humid climates, flour is wetter and will absorb less liquid, so less liquid is required.

How to Use

This product is for household use only.
Important: Your bread maker has an Intelligent Fuse™ system designed to protect the motor from overheating. It will automatically shut off the motor if there is an overheat risk. If this occurs, unplug the appliance, wait a minimum of 20 minutes for it to cool down, and plug in again following the instructions.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove packing materials and any stickers.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• Place bread maker on dry, stable, level surface away from heat and areas where cooking grease or water may splatter on unit. Do not place near edge of countertop. If placing beneath cabinets, make sure there is enough room to open the lid without interference.
  Important: Your bread maker will bake up at a 2-lb. loaf.  Do not put larger quantities of ingredients into bread pan. Bread will not mix and bake correctly and bread maker may be damaged. (See MAXIMUM INGREDIENT AMOUNTS.)
• Before first use, operate on Rapid White cycle without adding ingredients to burn off manufacturing oils. (Follow instructions in USING YOUR BREAD MAKER.)

MAXIMUM INGREDIENT AMOUNTS

• Bread cycles: approximately 5 cups
• Quick breads: 4 cups
• Dough cycle: 42/3 cups
• Jam: 3 cups of fruit mixture BREAD PAN TIPS

Inserting bread pan

Note: Remember to insert kneading paddle first, then add all ingredients in the order listed BEFORE inserting the bread pan into baking chamber.
Important: The collapsible kneading paddle may fall when ingredients are added. This is normal. It will stand up when kneading begins. When inserting bread pan into bread maker, make sure to set firmly in place.

Removing bread pan: To remove bread pan from baking chamber, hold handle with an oven mitt and lift straight up firmly.

Important: When you remove bread pan after baking, be sure to wear oven mitts to prevent burning. After removing loaf (by turning bread pan upside down and shaking gently), check to see that kneading paddle is removed from loaf. If it is stuck in bread, allow bread to cool. Allow bread to cool before removing the kneading paddle.

CHECKING DOUGH CONSISTENCY

Although your bread maker will mix, knead and bake bread automatically, when baking bread from scratch, it is recommended that you learn to recognize condition of your dough. The ratio of flour to liquid is the most critical factor in any bread recipe, yet the most easily remedied. After 5 to 8 minutes in Knead 2, open bread maker to check consistency of dough. Dough should be in a soft, tacky ball (feel sticky like scotch tape). If it is too dry, add 1 tbsp. of liquid at a time. If it is too wet, add 1 tbsp. of flour at a time.

USING YOUR BREAD MAKER

Note: Depending on the cycle or recipe used, some steps may not apply or there may be additional steps. Refer to the respective recipes instructions in the recipes portion of this booklet, as well 
as the specific cycle instructions located at the end of these usage instructions.

1. Open lid and remove bread pan. Lift bread pan straight up and out using the handle (B).
   Caution: Do not turn or shake bread pan while taking it out. If the bread pan is bent, temperature sensor may not work properly.

2. Position kneading paddle on the drive shaft. Match flat side of drive shaft to flat part of hole in kneading paddle (C). Make sure paddle is secure.

   

3. Place ingredients into the bread pan.
   Note: As you add ingredients into the bread pan, the collapsible kneading paddle may fall; this is normal. The paddle will stand up automatically once the cycle is started.
   Important: Add ingredients to bread pan in the order listed in the recipe.
   Important: Always add yeast last.
4. Make small indentation on top of dry ingredients (not so deep it reaches the wet layer) and add yeast (D).
   Important: Indentation for yeast is important, especially when using the delay bake timer. It keeps yeast away from the wet ingredients until the kneading process begins. (Liquid ingredients will prematurely activate the yeast.)

5. Insert the bread pan into the baking chamber (E). Press down on rim of bread pan until it snaps securely into place.

   

6. Close the lid. If your recipe includes extra ingredients such as fruits or nuts (listed after the yeast in the recipe), add these to the automatic fruit and dispenser.
   Important: Do not exceed 2/3 cup capacity.
   Important: Do not pour liquids or spices into dispenser. Always make sure fresh fruit or vegetables are not wet; pat dry before putting them in the dispenser.
7. Plug into standard electrical outlet. Turn the On/Off (I/O) switch to the on (I) position. Bread maker will beep and program 1 and 3:25 will appear in the display window (F).
8. Press MENU to choose desired cycle (F1). Each time MENU is pressed, unit and display will move to the next cycle.

    Note: During kneading cycle, yeast will activate and viewing window may begin to fog. (This will clear eventually so you can view the progress.)

12. When your bread is finished baking, bread maker will beep and “3:25” will appear in display window. Press START/STOP and open lid. Using oven mitts, remove bread pan (G).

    

    
    Important: Remember, bread pan and loaf are both very hot! Be careful not to place either on tablecloth, plastic surface or other heat-sensitive surface that may scorch or melt.
    Note: If bread is not removed immediately after baking and START/ STOP is not pressed, the Keep Warm mode will begin. Bread maker will automatically turn off after 60 minutes. For best results, remove bread immediately after baking.
    Note: Keep Warm does not apply to the following cycles: Jam, Dough, Artisan Dough, Bake Only

13. Turn bread pan upside down and shake to release bread (H). Place bread upright on wire rack to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
    Note: The collapsible kneading paddle is designed to stay in the bread pan instead of sticking in your bread. Check to see if the paddle stayed in the pan. If not, follow the caution statements below when removing.
    Caution: Be sure to remove kneading paddle from the bread before serving.
    Caution: Bread pan, kneading paddle and bread will be very hot. Allow bread to cool before removing the paddle.
14. Turn the On/Off (I/O) switch to the off (O) position. Unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. (See CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.)
    Important: Make sure to clean the inside of the baking chamber thoroughly after each use.

15. Once bread has cooled (approximately 2 hours) store in an airtight container.

    

SLICING AND STORING BREAD

For best results, place bread on wire rack and allow to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing. Use electric knife or serrated knife for even slices. Store unused bread, tightly sealed (sealable plastic bags or plastic containers work well) at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, (up to 1 month) place bread in sealed container in freezer. Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster. Leftover or slightly hardened bread may be cut into ½-inch or 1-inch cubes and used in recipes to make croutons, bread pudding or stuffing.

USING 15-HOUR DELAY BAKE TIMER

Important: Delay baking does not activate JAM cycle. Do not use delay bake timer if your recipe includes perishables, such as eggs, fresh milk, yogurt or other dairy products and meats, etc. To preset your bread maker, follow these steps:
To preset your bread maker, follow these steps:
