SETTINGS
Below are brief descriptions of the many different types of bread, doughs, pizzas, pastas,
jellies and jams you can make with your new Oster¨Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker.
¥ Basic  (1)
This setting is probably used more often than any other because it gives the best
results with almost any recipe (standard white bread, raisin bread and more).
Total cycle time is 3 hours.
¥ Rapid  (2)
The Rapid setting will make bread faster than other cycles. We suggest that you use the
Classic White Bread recipe and increase the water by 1 to 2 Tbsp. This setting reduces
the second knead and final rise times. Total cycle time is 2 hours and 20 minutes.
¥ Sweet  (3)
This setting is made for breads containing high amounts of sugar, fats or protein
(cheese, eggs, etc.), all of which increase browning. It produces a finished loaf
in 2 hours and 50 minutes.
¥ French  (4)
This setting is used for the preparation of French white bread. Due to the longer
kneading, rising and baking times, the bread has a heartier crust. This entire cycle
needs 3 hours and 50 minutes.
¥ Quick Bread  (5)
Recipes for this setting will use a quick-acting leavening agent, usually baking powder
or baking soda, rather than yeast. Total cycle time is 1 hour and 50 minutes.
¥ Whole Wheat  (6)
This setting offers longer rise times to accommodate the slower rising action of bread
containing more than 50% whole wheat flour. Total cycle time is 3 hours and 40 minutes.
¥ Dough/Pasta  (7)
This setting is used to prepare dough for rolls, specialty breads, pizza, pasta, etc.,
which are shaped by hand, allowed to rise for a final time and then baked or cooked
conventionally. Total cycle time is 1 hour and 30 minutes. When cycle is complete,
remove the dough and proceed with hand shaping, rolling, etc.
¥ Bake Only  (8)
This setting is for baking doughs or making jams. Total cycle time is 1 hour.

STEP-BY-STEPDIRECTIONS ONHOW TOUSEYOURBREADMAKER
1.OPEN THE LID AND REMOVE THE BAKING PANby pulling straight up on
the handle. It is important to remove the Baking Pan from the unit before putting the
ingredients into the pan to avoid accidentally spilling ingredients into the inner case.
2.ATTACH THE KNEADING BLADEonto the shaft inside the Baking Pan by lining
up the flat side of the blade with the flat side on the shaft. Make sure the Kneading Blade
is placed securely on the shaft.
3.MEASURE ALL INGREDIENTScarefully and accurately. Inaccurate
measurements,
even if only slightly off, can make a difference in results. Add ingredients
into the bread pan in the order they are listed. Yeast is always added last and must not
come in contact with any liquid. (Before adding yeast, remember to dig a small hole in
the flour so that the yeast doesnÕt prematurely come into contact with the liquids or salt.
This is especially important when you are using the Delay Bake Timer).
4.WIPE WATER AND OTHER SPILLSfrom the outside of the pan;
then insert the pan firmly into the bottom of the machine, applying pressure to
each corner of the pan to make sure it is snapped tightly into the retaining brackets. 
5.CLOSE THE LID AND PLUG IN THE BREAD MAKER.You will hear a beep
and the LED display window will show Ò1PÓ for ÒBasicÓ setting, ÒMediumÓ crust.
6.CHOOSE YOUR BREAD TYPE.Select the appropriate setting for your recipe
by pressing the ÒSELECTÓ button on the control panel. Each time ÒSELECTÓ is pressed
the number in the display window will advance to the next setting.
7.SELECT CRUST COLOR.Your bread maker will automatically produce
a ÒmediumÓ crust color (ÒPÓ= the default program) unless another is chosen;
select crust color by pressing the ÒCrust ColorÓ button; ÒLÓ = low setting (light crust);
and ÒHÓ = high setting (dark crust).
8.PRESS THE ÒSTART/STOPÓ BUTTONfirmly once you have selected your
bread type and crust color. A signal tone will sound to indicate that you have begun!
The baking time in hours and minutes will appear in the display. It will count down the
remaining bake time in one-minute increments until the bread is done. This bread maker
has a convenient Viewing Window so that you may watch the progress of the bread as it
is mixed, kneaded, and baked. DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING CYCLES.
NOTE:Once the ÒStart/StopÓ button is pressed, the selected function(s) cannot be altered.
To make any changes at this point, the unit must be stopped, reset and restarted.
To stop, press the ÒStart/StopÓ button and hold until signal sounds and screen
reverts to initial display setting. 
						

							13
9.WHEN THE BREAD IS DONE.When the baking time is completed,
a signal tone will sound and the display window will show Ò0:00Ó (the ÒColonÓ in
the time display will continue flashing). The ÒKeep WarmÓ setting will automatically
continue to keep the bread warm for one hour after the cycle ends (except when
using the dough setting). For best results, remove the bread as soon as possible
to keep the crust from getting soggy. Remove the pan using potholders and take
the bread out of the pan by turning the pan upside down and shaking it. If you
have difficulty removing the bread from the pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic
spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. If the kneading paddle
remains in the bottom of the loaf, use the end of a plastic utensil to remove it.
Once removed from the Bread Pan, itÕs best to let your bread cool 15 minutes
before slicing. Enjoy!
10.KEEP-WARM CYCLEautomatically begins when the bake time is done.
At the end of the 60 minutes, the heater will turn off. N
OTE:You may remove the
Baking Pan at any time during the ÒKeep-WarmÓ cycle. To turn off the ÒKeep-WarmÓ
feature, simply press the ÒSTOPÓ button and hold it for 2 Ð 3 seconds.
PLEASE NOTE:Bread is best when removed from bread pan no more than 1 hour
after the ÒKeep-WarmÓ feature ends. The ÒKeep-WarmÓ feature is not provided
for the dough setting or the Jam/Jelly Setting.
CAUTION:Steam will escape when the cover is opened. Be sure to use pot
holders or oven mitts to avoid steam burns.
N
OTE:Your Bread Maker includes an auto cycle recall feature. When a cycle
is completed and the ÒStart/StopÓ button is pressed, the unit will automatically
revert to the last setting selected.
N
OTE: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 the pan removed. If you
attempt 
to use the unit too soon, it will signal and the display will read ÒH:HHÓ.
Press ÒStart/StopÓ
until the screen reverts to the setting display and wait until
the unit has cooled.
11.USING THE DELAY TIMERÐ You can add the ingredients into your
bread pan and set the timer to delay the baking. Baking can be delayed up to 13 hours.
N
OTE:Do not use the timer if your recipe includes fresh eggs, milk or other
ingredients that may spoil.
¥ Follow Steps 1 Ð 7 on the previous page, making sure to measure ingredients
into the bread pan in the sequence specified in the recipe. Take special care
not to let the yeast contact the liquid ingredients or the salt. 
						

							14
¥ Then calculate the number of hours and minutes until you want fresh baked bread.
E
XAMPLE:If it is 8:00 and you want the bread to finish baking at 2:00,
the timer should be set at 6 hours.
¥ Press the timer button once. The cycle length will appear in the display window.
¥Use the        Timer button to advance the time in 10 minute increments. (Use       Timer
button to subtract time, if necessary). E
XAMPLE:You have chosen the Sweet Setting and
2:50 appears in the display window. If you wish your bread to be done in 6 hours,
you will press the Timer button until 6:00 appears in the display window.
¥Press ÒStart/StopÓ to begin the Timer. The ÒColonÓ (:) in the time display begins to flash,
indicating that the Timer is engaged.
¥When unit beeps three times and 0:00 appears in the display window, press ÒStart/StopÓ
to cancel the ÒKeep-WarmÓ cycle and remove the bread.
¥If you make an error while setting the timer and wish to start over, press ÒStart/StopÓ
and hold until a beep sounds and the screen reverses to the original setting.
Timer is canceled and you may begin again.
N
OTE:If you forget to press ÒStart/Stop,Ó the Timer will not function.
¥ When using the Timer Cycle for more than a few hours during times of high
humidity or hot weather, reduce the liquid by one or two Tbsp. to reduce the
possibility of over-rising. Salt may be increased by 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. to keep the
dough from rising too quickly and falling. Sugar can also be reduced by up to
half the amount called for in the recipe.

TIPS FOR THEGOURMETBAKER
LASTTHINGSLAST
YouÕll see this tip in several places in this book, but it bears repeating:  Always put the
liquids in first, the dry ingredients in next, and the yeast last (fruits and nuts are added
later, after the machine has completed the first knead). Dig a shallow hole in the dry
ingredients and place the yeast in the hole so that thereÕs absolutely no contact between
the yeast and any liquids or salt. This is especially important when youÕre using the
Delay Bake option. You donÕt want the yeast to be activated too soon in the process!
PLACEMENTCOUNTS! 
Place dried fruits, vegetables, and dried spices away from the liquid ingredients
in the bread pan. If they soak up water, they can undermine the breadÕs chemistry.
FRESHNESSFIRST
Avoid using perishable ingredients Ð milk, yogurt, eggs, or cheese Ð with
the Delay Bake function.
JUSTWAITFIFTEEN
For best results, wait fifteen minutes before slicing; the bread needs time to cool.
DEEPFREEZE
To freeze fresh bread, let it cool completely and double-bag in plastic.

REMOVABLELID
Your new Bread Maker is equipped with a removable lid for easy cleaning and storage.
To remove the lid, simply raise the lid just short of the vertical position (approx. 70¡ angle);
while holding the base of the unit with one hand, gently hold the front edge of the lid
and pull it to the right side so as to pop the left hinge pin out (you will hear a loud ÒpopÓ
sound when the hinge pops out). Then simply slide the lid to the left to remove the
right hinge pin.

BREADRECIPES
IMPORTANT
Altitude, weather conditions and accuracy in measurement
can all affect the outcome of a loaf; to help compensate for
this, we have created each recipe with a range for the liquid
portion of the recipe.
We recommend that you begin using the smaller amount of liquid. Allow your Bread
Maker to mix the ingredients for a few minutes before checking the dough consistency.
If it is dense, oddly shaped or the unit is making a knocking noise, add 1 Tbsp. of water
at a time until the dough is soft and pliable.
Do not exceed 4-1/2 cups dry ingredients.
