Loaves of breads. There are 11 settings, including one for dough. A "Keep Warm" function prevents the bread from getting soggy by keeping finished bread warm up to an hour after the baking is completed. This function stops when the unit is turned OFF / STOP or unplugged An "add-ingredient" function signals with an audible tone when it is time to add ingredients such as fruits or nuts to recipes used with the Basic Breads (2-3) and Sweet (8) settings. The signal tone comes on 32 minutes into the cycle (after initial kneading) so that your fruit or nuts will remain whole rather than be chopped up by the Kneading Blade. 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 somewhat "chopped". Do not cover the bread maker with towels or other material that may prevent steam from escaping. Some steaming from vents is normal. Do not place any objects on top of the bread maker. Unplug the unit and wait until it cools, then remove any food substances from inside the inner case of the Breadmaker by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. See "Care and Cleaning", page 11 for full cleaning details. IMPORTANT: Always 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 bread maker. - - - - If you have any problems with the unit, contact the CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CENTRE for assistance Australia: 1300-657-888 New Zealand: 0800-438-847 Please read operating instructions before using this product. 2 BEFORE FIRST USE Enjoy using your PALSONIC Auto Bakery.

(Note: Do not press "STOP" when you are just checking the progress of your bread.) 5 SETTING DESCRIPTIONS NOTE: The number in parentheses following each setting description represents the total baking time. BASIC BREADS These settings are used for breads which primarily use white flour; though some recipes may include small amounts of whole wheat flour as well. These settings have the minimum number of rising cycles and the shortest overall times until baking is completed. Therefore, loaves will be slightly denser than French or Sweet breads. SETTING 1 - Regular (2 hours 45 minutes) Setting #1 is for smaller loaves and takes less time than Setting #2 and #3. SETTING 2 - Large (2 hours 50 minutes) Setting #2 and #3 are for large loaves. Most recipes use Setting #2. Use Setting #2 or #3 if you are adding ingredients such as cheese, nuts, or cornmeal as they tend to brown easily. SETTING 3 - Extra Large (3 hours 10 minutes) Setting #3 has a longer baking time and will produce a loaf with a darker crust. WHOLE WHEAT/MULTI GRAIN These settings are used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats, or bran. They begin with a delay period of 32 minutes during which the flours or grains soak in the liquid ingredients. Soaking causes the flour or grain to soften and helps ingredients to combine well. These settings also have an extra rise cycle to allow heavy wheat/grains to expand, Generally, whole wheat/multi grain breads are shorter and denser than Basic, French, or Sweet breads. SETTING 4 - Regular (4 hours 20 minutes) SETTING 5 - Large/Extra Large (4 hours 30 minutes) Setting #5 has a slightly longer bake time than #4 and loaves will have a darker crust. Use #4 to obtain a lighter crust or for recipes with added ingredients (bran, raisins, dried fruit, fruit juice) which may brown easily. SETTING 6 - Large/Rapid (3 hours 20 minutes) SPECIALTY SETTING 7 - French (3 hours 30 minutes) Traditionally French bread has a crispier crust and lighter inside texture than basic breads. Recipes usually do not include butter, margarine, or milk. SETTING 8 - Sweet (3 hours 25 minutes) Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice, additional sugar, or added sweet ingredients such as coconut flakes, raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate. Baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning and the extra rise cycle gives the loaves a light, airy texture. SETTING 9 - Dough (1 hour 30 minutes) This setting makes dough only and will not bake the final bread. Dough can be shaped to make pizza, rolls, pretzels, doughnuts and round or braided breads that must then be baked in an oven or fried in a deep fryer (ie. doughnuts). Follow dough recipes for specific directions. SETTING 10 - Cake/Quick Bread (1 hour 40 minutes) SETTING 11 - Jam (1 hour) 6 HOW TO USE YOUR BREADMAKER The 8 bread settings in this unit will combine ingredients, knead, and make 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 an oven. To delay completion, the automatic TIMER may be programmed to make bread or dough while you are at work or asleep. (See "Using The Timer For Delayed Completion" page 10) To Obtain the best results when using ready made pre-mix select settings 1, 2 or 3. FOR ALL SETTINGS (#1 THRU 11) FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 1 Open lid and remove the Baking Pan by pulling straight up on the handle. It is important to remove the Baking Pan from the unit rather than putting ingredient into the Pan while it is in place to avoid accidentally spilling ingredients into the inner case. Warning: Place your Automatic Breadmaker where it is level, stable and secure. 2 Attach the Kneading Blade onto the shaft inside the Baking Pan by lining up the flat side or the blade with the flat side on the shaft. Push the blade firmly onto the shaft. Be sure to set the kneading blade firmly into place otherwise the blade may come off during operation, which may affect the kneading or mixing. Be sure the shaft is clean of any residue (i.e. dough). This will ensure the kneading blade will fully seat into place. 3 Select a recipe from the Cookbook section of this booklet, when following the recipes: Measure ingredients carefully and accurately. To measure liquids, use a see-through liquid measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level. When measuring dry ingredients, use a standard dry measuring cup and level the ingredients with a straight edge knife. Inaccurate measurement, even if only slightly off, can make a difference in results. Use standard measuring spoons and level off with a straightedge knife. (See "Measuring Your Ingredients" page 16) Always add ingredients into the Baking Pan in the order they are listed. Yeast is always added last. Be sure that the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients. Be careful not to mix the yeast with any of the wet ingredients especially when using the delayed timer feature, otherwise the bread may not rise properly.
