one hour “keep warm” mode.  If machine is not turned off after end of “keep 
warm” period, machine will turn itself off and red “keep warm” light will go out. 
6.  Invert bread pan and shake gently until loaf falls out.  Place on rack to cool 15 to 
20 minutes.  Knead bar will normally stay in pan when bread is removed, but 
may on occasion slide out in the bread.  If bar is inside loaf, remove before 
slicing.  If making another loaf of bread right away, be sure machine is turned off 
and allowed to cool 15 to 20 minutes with cover open.  This will ensure proper 
temperature sensing which is critical for the 45-minute cycle. 
 
High Altitude Adjustment
: Reduced air pressure at high altitudes causes yeast 
gases to expand more rapidly and the dough to rise more quickly.  The dough can 
rise so much that when it begins to bake, it will collapse due to overstretching of the 
gluten structure.  To slow the rising of the dough, reduce the amount of yeast by ¼ 
teaspoon at a time until you find the right amount.  You can also reduce the amount 
of liquid by a teaspoon or two.  Some experimentation will be needed when using 
your bread maker at high altitudes. 
 
USING BREADMIXES 
Pre-packaged bread mixes can be used in your bread maker following the guidelines 
below.  Most bread mixes have a net weight of 14 or more ounces.  This will make 
TWO
 dinner size loaves of bread.  Never attempt to use a full bread mix in your Just 
for Dinner™ bread maker as it can not make this large a loaf of bread. 
1.  Before opening blend mix thoroughly. 
2.  Add ½ cup (4 ounces) of lukewarm water, 80-90°F, to bread pan containing 
knead bar. 
3.  Measure 1½ cups of bread mix and add to bread pan, level ingredients. 
4.  Add packet of yeast from mix PLUS 1 teaspoon fast rising or bread machine 
yeast
.  If extra yeast is not used, the loaf of bread will be short.  Do not use 
active dry yeast.  (If mix has yeast blended into the dry ingredients, you will still 
need to add the extra teaspoon of fast rising or bread machine yeast).  Yeast 
does not need to be the same brand as original packet. 
5.  Lock bread pan into machine and close cover.  Program for Basic/Specialty or 
Wheat
, depending on type of mix being used.  Turn machine on.  After 3 to 4 
minutes of kneading, check dough for any minor adjustment that may be needed 
as bread mixes vary slightly by brand.  Do not turn machine off to adjust dough.  
Crust treatment can be performed when alert sounds just before bake cycle 
begins. 
1. 
If dough is too dry and motor seems to be laboring, add 1-teaspoon lukewarm 
water at a time until dough becomes soft and pliable. 
2. 
If dough is too wet and clinging to the side of pan, add 1-tablespoon bread mix 
or flour, allowing it to be blended into dough before adding more if needed.  
Dough should gather into a ball and just be sticky to the touch. 
3. 
Do not leave cover open while adjusting dough, as this will allow heat to escape.  
Open cover only to add ingredients, and then close.
