Programming

PROGRAMMING BREAD MAKER PROGRAMS
The following are the general steps for using the bread maker. Depending on the program or recipe that you choose, some steps may not apply or there may be additional steps. Refer to the BASIC Breads, FAST BAKE™ Breads, QUICK BREADS and DOUGH sections.
Add all ingredients to the pan in the order listed in the recipe.
The illustrations in this use and care guide are for information purposes only. You may find your bread maker looks different, however, the steps for operation are the same.

Open the lid and remove the bread pan by pulling straight up, using the handle.
Mount the kneading blade on the shaft, flat side down.
Place all ingredients, except yeast, in bread pan in the order listed. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the dry ingredients in the bread pan; be sure to spread into all corners. Lightly tap the pan 3 times on the counter top to settle the ingredients. Add yeast on top.
Insert bread pan and push down on rim until it snaps securely into place. Fold handle down.
If the pan does not snap securely into place, remove bread pan. Wearing oven mitts, place fingers behind bread pan clips and gently pull away from oven wall. Insert bread pan again.
Close the lid. Plug into 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. The bread maker display indicator will default to 1P and then 3:00.
Press the PROGRAM button to choose the desired program. Each time the PROGRAM button is pressed, you will hear a beep and the number in the display window will advance to the next program. The indicator light next to the program selected will be on.
Press the CRUST COLOR button to choose crust color desired (except for the FAST BAKE™ and QUICK BREAD programs). When you press the button, you will hear a beep and the display window will show the color selected.
L = Light color P = Medium color B- Dark color
Press the START/STOP button. The time left for the program to be finished is displayed. The timer will count down in one minute increments. All programs except QUICK BREAD, DOUGH and BAKE will beep to add additional ingredients during the second knead. Opening the lid will not stop the kneading. Add ingredients quickly and evenly over dough. Quickly close the lid to prevent heat loss. At this time also check the dough ball and use a rubber spatula to scrape ingredients from the sides of the pan.
The beeper will sound when the bread is done. Press the START/STOP button and hold it until you hear a beep. Hold the lid open while you remove the bread pan using oven mitts. If you do not stop the unit and remove the bread, it will automatically go into the keep warm process on all programs except for DOUGH. Your bread will be kept warm for 1 hour. You may remove the bread pan at any time during the keep warm cycle. To turn off the keep warm feature before the 1 hour is up, press the START/STOP button and hold it until you hear a beep.

NOTE: If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, allow the bread maker to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the cover open and pan removed. If you attempt to use the unit too soon, it will signal and display will read E:01. Press Start/Stop until screen reverts to setting display and wait until unit has cooled.
Turn the bread pan upside down and shake to release the bread.
Place the bread upright on a wire rack to cool 20-30 minutes before cutting. This allows the steam to escape. Be sure to remove the kneading blade from the bread.

CAUTION:
The bread pan, kneading blade and bread will be very hot.
Always unplug after use.

Programming Delay Timer

The delay timer can be set to delay bread making up to 13 hours. At the selected time, delicious bread will be ready. The delay works for all programs except FAST BAKE™, DOUGH and BAKE.
Add all ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed. It is critical to add the yeast last on top of the flour, and away from liquid. This will keep the yeast from activating until the bread maker starts to mix.
Select the PROGRAM and CRUST COLOR. Before pressing START, set the TIMER for the amount of time you want to wait before the bread is done.

EXAMPLE: It is 9:00 p.m. now. The bread is to be ready at 6:30 a.m. the next morning. Set the timer for 9:30, because there are 9 hours and 30 minutes between 9:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.

Setup Guide

Setting up the Toastmaster Bread Maker TBR15CAN is simple and straightforward. Here are the steps to follow:

Plug in the bread maker and select the desired baking setting, crust color, and baking time.
Add the ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe.
Close the lid and press the start button.
Monitor the baking process through the viewing window and wait for the machine to beep when the bread is finished baking.

Cleaning & Storing

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT AND ALLOW TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING. CAREFULLY UNPACK THE BREAD MAKER AND REMOVE ALL PACKAGING MATERIALS.
Any service requiring disassembly, other than the cleaning described below, must be performed by an authorized service center. Unauthorized service will void your warranty.

Cleaning

CLEAN-UP OF BREAD MAKER

Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning.
Remove bread pan from inside the bread maker.
Clean exterior of bread maker with a damp cloth and plastic scouring pad if necessary. Do not rub too hard as the surface may be scratched.
Remove any flour, bread crumbs or other food from the inside of the oven cavity using a damp sponge, cloth or a small portable vacuum cleaner. A plastic scouring pad may be used if necessary. Do not rub too hard as the surface may be scratched.
To clean the glass in the lid, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a damp cloth or plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or pad as they might scratch the glass.
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

CLEAN-UP FOR OVER-RISING

If the bread should over-rise and hit the cover, extra cleaning will be necessary. Unplug the bread maker and gently remove cover. Using a nylon spatula or wooden utensil, scrape all loose dough from inside the cover. Then wash the cover in warm, soapy water.
Move bread maker to countertop next to kitchen sink; place on backside. You may want to place it on a towel to avoid scratching it. Use a pastry brush to “sweep” crumbs from inside the bread maker and around the hinges. Wipe inside of bread maker with a damp cloth.
Using a wet dishcloth or sponge, soak all remaining dry or burned-on dough to loosen. Use a plastic scrub pad to remove any stubborn spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pad which could damage the finish. Rinse well with a damp dishcloth or sponge and dry thoroughly. If any water has accumulated in the vent of the cover, wipe with a dishcloth or sponge to prevent it from running down the inside or outside of the bread maker when you stand the unit upright. Carefully insert cover tabs into the slots and snap into place.

CLEAN-UP OF BREAD PAN AND KNEADING BLADE
DO NOT IMMERSE BREAD PAN OR WASH IN DISHWASHER

Allow to cool before cleaning.
Fill with hot soapy water and remove kneading blade. If necessary to remove the kneading blade from the bread pan, allow the soapy water to remain in the pan for up to 30 minutes (longer times may damage the non-stick surface). It is not necessary to remove the kneading blade for cleaning. However, if you wish to, it is necessary to do so after each use or it will become increasingly difficult to release.
Wash bread pan and kneading blade with a nylon bristle brush. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or metal utensils on the bread pan or kneading blade as they will damage the non-stick surface. Normal wear is to be expected. The non-stick may discolor over time and in no way affects performance.

STORING

All removable parts should be thoroughly cleaned and dried.
Store with lid closed and kneading blade inside bread pan.

Before Your First Use

Please fill out information that follows warranty.
Unpack and clean bread maker; see CLEANING AND STORING.
Place bread maker on a dry, stable surface away from burners and away from areas where cooking grease or water may splatter onto it.
Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use. Place on back of counter top.
The bread maker will bake up to a 11⁄2 pound loaf of bread. Do not put a larger quantity of ingredients into the bread pan than recommended. If you do so, the bread may not mix or bake correctly and the bread maker may be damaged.

The maximum amount of ingredients to be used is as follows.

Bread programs — 3 - 31⁄2 cups
Quick Bread programs – 2 - 3 cups
Dough program — 4 - 41⁄2 cups

During first use, this product may smoke and/or emit an odor from mineral oils used in manufacturing. This is normal for a newly manufactured appliance. Before first use, operate with empty bread pan inside the bread machine on the FAST BAKE program to burn off the manufacturing oils. Leave the lid up during the process.

POWER OUTAGE

Your bread maker has a 10-minute power interrupt feature. If the electricity goes off, the memory will store the course in process for up to 10 minutes. If the power comes back on within this time, the course will resume where it left off. If the bread maker loses power for more than this time 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 non-perishable recipes you may try starting the bread maker at the beginning of the course again for all courses except FAST BAKE™. This may not always produce an acceptable loaf. If you are not sure when the outage occurred, remove the dough ball from the bread pan and place in an oven-safe baking container. Allow to double in size and place in a preheated 350°F/177°C oven for 30-45 minutes or until done. The bread will sound hollow when tapped on top of the loaf if it is done.
If you are using the FAST BAKE™ course or if the bread has already begun to bake when the outage occurs, you must begin with new ingredients.
The power interrupt will not cover power surges. If you experience frequent power surges, use a surge protector.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common problems and solutions for the Toastmaster Bread Maker TBR15CAN:

The bread is not rising: Make sure you are using the correct amount of yeast and that the yeast is not expired. Also, check that the temperature of the liquid ingredients is not too hot or too cold.
The bread is sticking to the pan: Make sure the pan is properly greased or use a non-stick spray. Also, wait until the bread is cool before removing it from the pan.
The bread is over or undercooked: Adjust the baking time and temperature according to the recipe. Use the delay timer if you prefer a longer or shorter baking time.
The machine is beeping but the bread is not done: Check that the bread is not stuck to the sides of the pan and that the paddle is properly attached to the machine.
