Black & Decker B1650 Manual

● Your breadmaker makes large 2 lb (900 g) or

smaller 1.5 lb (700 g) loaves.

● There are five settings including one for 

dough or pasta.

● The “Super Rapid Bake” setting can produce 

variations of basic white bread in just over an 
hour. This setting can only be used with recipes 
supplied. 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/Pasta” setting will let you produce 
dough that can be shaped into dinner rolls, 
pizza, long loaves, challah, pretzels, filled braids, 
or more.  For Pasta, be sure to use pasta or 
semolina flour.  Pasta dough should be 
processed through a pasta maker or pasta 
shaper to form the desired shape.  Consult the 
Cookbook section of this manual.

● The Crust Control function lets you choose 

“Regular” or “Dark” crust on the Basic, Rapid 
Bake, or Sweet settings.  It cannot be used on the 
Whole Grain or Dough/Pasta 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 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. 

● The Opti-Rise function allows  you to extend the 

rise time of your 2 lb (900 g) recipes by delaying 
the bake cycle. Just minutes before the bake 
cycle begins, beeps will sound signalling you to 
choose up to 2 additional 10 minute rise periods.
(See “Using the Opti-Rise Feature” pg. 11 for 
more details). The Opti-Rise function cannot    
be used with the Dough/Pasta or Super Rapid 
Bake settings.

● 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 (more than 
20 cm) 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.
