start and stop every few seconds during the beginning of mixing action which is normal

RISE
RISE
After the initial mixing/kneading period, the dough is allowed to rise for 15 minutes before the final kneading
action begins when using the bread settings. You may hear faint clicking sounds during this period which is
normal and indicates the bread maker is working properly on keeping the dough warm. (When set at the
DOUGH setting, this cycle is omitted as it is not necessary in the preparation of dough for hand shaping and
baking.)

KNEAD
The total knead time varies depending on the bread selection made. Total kneading time at the BASIC,
RAPID, and DOUGH settings is 20 minutes; 30 minutes for the WHOE WHEAT bread setting. The longer
knead time is required at the WHOLE WHEAT setting to better develop the gluten in whole wheat flour.

SPECIAL NOTES:
•
When using any setting, an audible alert will sound midway through the second Knead cycle to let you
know when to add ingredients such as raisins, nuts, cheese, etc. to prevent overmixing or crushing of
added ingredients. If you are not adding ingredients to the recipe, ignore this alert.

•
If you need to make any adjustments to the recipe, such as adding a little more flour or liquid in order to
improve the consistency of the dough, you must make this adjustment during this knead period. You
may wish to use the add ingredient alert or set a separate timer to remind you to check the dough during
the kneading period to make any necessary adjustments. See page 4 for further details.

RISE
After the dough is kneaded, it is allowed to rise for a certain period of time. You may hear faint clicking
sounds during the rise as gentle heat is being provided to keep the chamber warm.
