hen using electrical appliances, basic 
safety precautions should always be 
followed, including the following:
Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces.  Use handles or 
oven mitts.
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do 
not immerse cord, plug, or other parts of this 
Breadmaker  in water or other liquid, except 
the Mixing Paddle, which may be immersed 
when removed from the Baking Pan for 
cleaning.
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 cleaning, 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 dropped or damaged in any 
manner. If the product requires attention within 
the warranty period, call the toll free number on 
the cover of this manual for information on 
examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not 
recommended by the appliance manufacturer 
may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces or hang 
over the edge of table or counter. 
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric 
burner, a heated oven, or on top of a microwave 
oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an 
appliance containing hot contents or liquids.
To turn off, disconnect from outlet by grasping 
the plug.  Do not yank on cord.
Do not use Breadmaker for other than intended 
use.
Do not use Breadmaker for storage purposes 
nor insert any utensils as they may create a risk 
of fire or electric shock.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
Do not remove the Baking Pan during 
operation.  Press START/RESET and hold until 
you hear a beep if you need to stop operation.
Do not pour any ingredients directly into the 
Breadmaker—only into the Baking Pan.  It is 
important to remove the Baking Pan from the

(except when using the “Add-Ingredient” 
function, see pg. 10) to avoid accidentally 
spilling ingredients into the oven chamber.
Place the Breadmaker out from under cabinet 
and  at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from any walls 
to allow for steam from vents.
Do not cover the Breadmaker with towels or 
other material that may prevent steam from 
escaping.  Some steaming from vents is normal.  
Do not clean with scouring pads.  The Baking 
Pan and Mixing Paddle have a non-stick 
coating.  Refer to the “Care and Cleaning” 
section of this book.
Do not operate in the presence of explosive 
and/or flammable fumes.
This product is intended for household use 
only and not for commercial or industrial use.

Important Safeguards 
						

							Things You  Should  Know 
About Your  Breadmaker
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug—one
blade is wider than the other. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature by modifying the plug in any
way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREWS
This appliance is equipped with tamper-resistant
screws 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 
onlyby authorized service personnel (see
insert for a list of Black & Decker Company-Owned
or Authorized Service Centers).
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord length of this appliance was selected to
reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer
cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension
cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be
rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) or Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) listing, depending on
the country. When using a longer cord, be sure it
does not drape over a working area or dangle where
it could be pulled on or tripped over. Handle cord
carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it
at outlet and appliance connections. 
Product may vary slightly from what is illustrated.

							Quick Tips
Your breadmaker makes large 2 lb (900 g) loaves 
of bread.
There are six settings including one for 
DOUGH and BAKE only.
The SUPER RAPID bake setting can produce 
variations of white breadin 70 minutes. 
This setting can only be used with recipes 
supplied (see pg. 21). 
You cannot use the 
timer
with this selection.  This setting cannot 
handle heavier recipes such as whole grain 
because of its shortened rising cycle.
Depending on the recipe you select, the 
DOUGH setting will let you produce dough 
that can be shaped into cinnamon rolls, 
pizza, long loaves, pretzels, or more.  
Consult the Cookbook section of this manual.
The Crust Control function lets you choose 
REGULAR or DARK crust on the BASIC, SUPER 
RAPID bake, or SWEET settings.  It cannot be 
used on the GRAIN or DOUGH settings.
The “Keep Warm” function begins automatically 
after bread is baked.  It keeps baked bread 
warm up to an hour after the baking is done.  
This function stops after 60 minutes or when 
the unit is unplugged, or the Start/Reset button 
is pressed.
An “Add-Ingredient” function signals with  
beeps when it’s time to add ingredients 
such as fruits or nuts to recipes used with any 
setting except SUPER RAPID bake.  A beep 
signals before kneading is completed to let you 
know when to add ingredients.  This feature 
helps keep fruit or nuts whole  (See “Add-
Ingredient Function” pg. 10 for more details).  
If you use the TIMER to delay baking, you may 
add all ingredients at once and bypass this 
function, however, your fruit or nuts may get 
“chopped” and blended into the bread.
Do not cover the breadmaker with towels 
or other material that may prevent steam from 
escaping.  Some steaming from vents is normal.  
Because of escaping steam, you should keep the 
breadmaker several inches away from cabinets 
while making bread.
Do not place any objects on top of the
breadmaker.
IMPORTANT: Add ingredients in the order they 
are specified in the recipe. For best results,
accurate measuring of ingredients is very 
important.
Do not put larger quantities than 
recommended into the Baking Pan as it may 
produce poor results and may damage the 
breadmaker.

current time of day, or, when the breadmaker is 
operating, the time it will take for your bread to 
be completed under the selected setting.
Shows minute-by-minute time countdown.
Indicates troubleshooting message in the 
Window (see “Troubleshooting” pg. 11)
2. Clock Button
Use when setting the current time of day.
The CLOCK button is used with the “Up” and
“Down” arrows to set the clock.
3. Timer Button
Use when setting the TIMER to delay baking.
The TIMER button is used with the “Up” and
“Down” arrows to set the time you wish your
bread to be complete (up to 13 hour delay).
4. Start/Reset Button
Press to start operation and to display the time it
will take for your bread to be completed under
the selected setting.
Press and hold to cancel the breadmaking 
operation. The red “on” light goes out & unit
beeps (DO NOT press when you are just check-
ing the progress of your bread or you will cancel
your program).
5. Indicator Lights
The red “operation ” light indicates that the
breadmaking operation has started. When the
cycle is complete, the red light will flash for 60
minutes in its “Keep Warm” cycle. If you do not
remove the bread after 60 minutes, it will simply
remain on to show you that the unit is still
plugged in.
The green “timer” light indicates that the timer
function is on. When the actual breadmaking
operation begins, the green light will go off, and
the red light will come on.
Control Panel Settings & Functions
Bread Type Setting Descriptions
NOTE:The number in parentheses following each 
setting description represents the total baking time.
Each setting begins with a preheat period which
delays the mixing cycle until the desired 
temperature is reached within the oven chamber.
The preheat cycle is included in the overall cycle
time.
BASIC BREAD / REGULAR Crust or DARK Crust
(3:50 hours)
This setting is used for breads which primarily use
white flour, though some recipes may include small
amounts of whole wheat flour as well.  In the U.S.,
be sure to use Bread Flour; in Canada, you may use
Canadian All-Purpose Flour or Bread Flour.  Follow
recipes carefully.  Basic Bread/Regular Crust will
produce good results when you are using
ingredients such as cheese, nuts, or cornmeal as
they tend to brown easily.  Choose Basic Bread/Dark
Crust, to produce a loaf with a darker crust without 
lengthening the baking time.
6 
						

							SUPER RAPID BAKE / REGULAR Crust or
DARK Crust (1:10 hours)
This setting is used onlyto make selected recipes
quickly whether you choose a REGULAR or DARK
crust.  
Refer to the recipe section of this booklet for
a complete list of all recipes that can be used with
this setting.
This setting cannot be used successfully
to make breads other than those specified due to
the shorter rising time of this cycle.
SWEET / REGULAR Crust or DARK Crust 
(3:50 hours)
Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice, large
amounts of sugar, cheese, or added sweet 
ingredients such as raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate.
Baking temperature is lower to prevent burning.
GRAIN (4:10 hours)
This setting is used for recipes with significant
amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats, 
or bran.  This setting has a longer rise cycle 
and preheat cycle to allow heavier grains 
to expand.  Generally, whole wheat/multi-grain
breads are shorter and denser than Basic or Sweet
breads.  
You cannot use the CRUST color selections
with this setting.
DOUGH (2:00 hours)
This setting makes bread-style dough.  Dough can
be shaped to make pizza, rolls, bread sticks, long
loaves or braids that must then be baked in a con-
ventional oven.
BAKE (30  min - 1:30 hours)
This setting is for quick breads (non-yeast breads)
and may be used with some cake recipes by lower-
ing the manufacturer’s recommended temperature
setting by 50°F (10°C) and increasing the time. 
Some experimentation may be nesessary.
Temperature  ranges between 
300°F - 420°F  (154°C - 216°C). 
You don’t need to use the paddle.
This setting is good for frozen
and thawed doughs.
Bread Type Setting Descriptions
How To Use Your Breadmaker
T
he bread making settings in this unit will 
combine ingredients, knead, and bake bread
from start to finish – automatically.  
The DOUGH setting makes dough for a variety of
recipes but you must shape and bake the dough
yourself in a conventional oven.  To delay comple-
tion, the automatic TIMER may be programmed to
make bread while you are at work or asleep. 
(See “Setting the Timer” pg. 10)  
The Cookbook section of this book includes recipes
that have been thor
oughlytested in Black & Decker’s
own test kitchen to ensure best results in both the
United States and Canada.  Flours, cornmeal, and a
few other ingredients vary widely  between 
the two countries.  
NOTE:The term, “All-Purpose Flour” for example, is
applied to two totally different types of flour 
depending on whether it is purchased in the U.S. or
Canada. Canadian “All-Purpose Flour” will producegood to excellent results in this Breadmaker; whereas
American “All-Purpose Flour” will produce poor
results.
Most  North American national brand flours and
yeasts will produce good results.  Keep in mind that
the recipes included here have been created by our
Home Economists specifically for this automatic
breadmaker  and may not produce acceptable
results in other similar breadmakers.
7 
						

							For all SETTINGS 
(including DOUGH) follow these 
instructions:
1
Open the lid, grasp the wire handle with two
hands, and remove the Baking Pan by pulling
straight up and out.  It is important to remove the
Baking Pan from the unit rather than add ingredi-
ents into the Pan while it is in place to avoid acci-
dentally spilling ingredients into
the oven chamber.
2
Attach the Mixing Paddle onto
the shaft inside the Baking Pan
by lining up the flat side of the
Paddle with the flat side on the
shaft.  Gently push the Paddle onto
the shaft.
3
Select a recipe from the
Cookbook section of this booklet.  When follow-
ing the recipe:
Alwaysadd ingredients into the Baking Pan in
the order they are listed.
Measure ingredients carefully 
& accurately. To measure 
liquids, use a see-through 
measuring cup and check the
measurement at eye level.
When measuring dry ingredients, use standard
dry measuring cups or 
measuring spoons and level off the ingredients
with the straight-edge of a knife or metal 
spatula.Inaccurate measurements, even if only slightly 
off, can make a difference in results.
Yeast is always added last. Be sure that the
yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients, salt
or shortening.
4
Place the Baking Pan straight down into the unit
until it is seated firmly.  
How To Use Your Breadmaker

							5
Close the lid and plug into an outlet (120 volt). Two
ARROWS will come up in the display window indi-
cating BASIC bread type with a Regular Crust and
12:00 a.m. will flash in the display window. If you wish
to use the TIMER to delay baking, you will first have to
set the correct time of day. However, if you want to
start the breadmaking operation now, it is not neces-
sary to set the CLOCK.
6
To bake a Basic loaf of bread with a Regular
Crust, simply press the START/RESET Button.
However, you can choose a dif-
ferent setting for your recipe by
pressing the MENU button on
the pad. Each time you press
MENU, the arrow in the display
window will point to
the next selection (i.e.
RAPID bake, SWEET
bread, etc.) If you are
using a recipe that
calls for the BASIC,
RAPID bake, or SWEET bread set-
ting, choose a crust color by
pressing the CRUST
button until the arrow
in the window lines up
with either REGULAR
or DARK.
7
Press the
START/RESET
Button once until it beeps and the red  “operation”
indicator light comes on. The
flashing 12:00 
a.m. will be
replaced by the baking time for
that setting, for example, 3:50, if
you chose a recipe for the BASIC
bread setting (regard-
less of whether you
chose REGULAR or
DARK crust).  It will
count down the
remaining time in one-minute intervals (3:49, 3:48,
etc.) until the bread is done.  When the baking is
complete, several beeps will sound to alert you that
the bread is ready and the red indicator light will
begin flashing. In addition, a flashing 12:00 
a.m. will
reappear in the display screen.
8
This Breadmaker is designed with a Keep Warm
function that automatically begins when baking
is complete.  The red “operation” light will continueto flash for up to 60 minutes after baking is com-
plete and will keep bread warm during that time.  At
the end of the hour, the 
Keep Warmcycle will end
and the light will remain on constantly, indicating
the unit is still plugged in.  The bread should then be
removed as soon as possible to avoid getting soggy.
You may remove the Baking Pan any time during
the 
Keep Warmcycle.  To turn off the Keep Warm
feature before the 60 minutes are up, simply press
the START/RESET button and hold it until the dis-
play time clears.
NOTE:The Keep Warmfeature does not function for
the DOUGH setting since baking is not involved in
this program. If you leave finished dough in the unit
over a period of time, it may over-rise and produce
poor results. For best results, remove dough at the
end of the program and follow the recipe 
directions for shaping, rising, and baking.
9
This unit has a convenient Viewing Window so
that you may watch the progress of the bread as
it is mixed, kneaded, and baked.  Occasionally, some
moisture may form in the window during the rising
cycle.  If moisture forms, you may lift the lid to look
inside during the mixing and kneading stages, 
however, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE 
BAKING CYCLE (approximately the last hour) as
this may cause the bread to underbake.  Most of the
moisture should disappear during the baking cycle.
10
To remove the Baking Pan, use pot holders or
oven mitts, grasp the wire handle with both
hands and pull straight up on the Baking Pan.  Fold
and lock the wire handle down.  Turn the pan on its
side and gently shake the bread out onto a wire
cooling rack.  The Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle
have a non-stick coated finish so that the bread
should come out easily.  Do not use metal utensils to
remove bread as they may scratch the non-stick
coating.  If you have difficulty removing bread from
How To Use Your Breadmaker

							the Baking Pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula
along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf.  Turn
the pan over and shake the loaf out.  Allow the bread
to cool before slicing.  If the
Mixing Paddle remains in the
bottom of your loaf, allow the loaf to cool then use a
plastic spoon or rubber spatula to remove the pad-
dle.  Do not use a knife or other sharp metal object
as this will scratch the non-stick coating on the
Mixing Paddle.
Using The “Add-Ingredient”
Function
1
All settings, except for RAPID bake, have a built-
in “Add-Ingredient” function which signals with
beeps when it’s time to add ingredients such as
fruits or nuts.  The beeps sound before kneading is
complete to let you know it’s time to add the 
ingredients. The actual time of the beeps can vary
up to 5 minutes depending on the room tempera-
ture at the time when you started the bread making
program. The following chart can be used for refer-
ence:
2
This function lets you add ingredients so that
they don’t get chopped up by the Mixing Paddle
and blended into your loaf.  If you are using the
TIMER to delay baking (perhaps while you are asleep
or away from home), you may bypass this function
by ignoring the signal and adding ingredients in the
order called for in the recipe, however, you may end
up with somewhat broken pieces.
3
To add ingredients, raise the lid and carefully
pour the ingredients into the Baking Pan.  
CAUTION: It is important to avoid spilling 
ingredients into the oven chamber.
Setting The Timer  
(For Delayed Completion)
Use the TIMER when you would like to delay the 
completion of your bread or dough.  This feature
allows you to delay bake time for up to 13 hours.  
For example, it lets you set the TIMER at 7 p.m. one
evening so that you can wake to fresh bread by 8
a.m. the following morning.  
NOTE:The TIMER 
cannot be used with the Super Rapid Bake setting.
To set the TIMER, follow these instructions:
NOTE:Be sure you have followed the “How to Use
Your Breadmaker”
steps 1-6in preparing the 
ingredients in the Baking Pan and selected a MENU.
It is not recommended that you use the “Delayed
Completion”function and TIMER with recipes that
call for fresh ingredients that might spoil such as eggs,
fresh milk, buttermilk, or cheese.
1
To use the TIMER, you must first set the digital
clock to the correct time of day. To change the
flashing 12:00 
a.m., first press the CLOCK button.
While the “Hour” is flashing, immediatelypress the
“Up” and “Down” arrows to change the time in 1 hour
intervals. Make sure the “a.m.” or “p.m.” displayed is
appropriate. 
While the correct hour is flashingin the
display, press the CLOCK button again to set the min-
utes. If the hour display has stopped flashing before
the minutes have been set, press the CLOCK button
twice. 
While the “00”is flashing,the minutes can be
set by pressing the “Up” and “Down” arrows. You may
hold either arrow to rapidly change the time in 
5-minute intervals, or press and release to change 
1 minute at a time.
2
Once the clock is set,the TIMER can easily be set
following similar steps.  To wake up to the aroma
of fresh baked bread at 8:30 a.m. for example, press
and hold the TIMER button until                     appears
on the display, and the hour flashes as it did when
setting the clock above. 
While the “hour”is flashing,
press the “Up” or “Down” arrows to reach  “8”, check-
ing to make sure “a.m.” is displayed.  To set the min-
utes, press the TIMER button 
while the hour setting
is flashing.
