MORE INFORMATION
CUSTOM Depends
on selected
setting
This is a setting that allows you to modify the
preset, recommended temperatures and times for
the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’
and ‘keep warm’ phases to suit a specific recipe or
your personal preference. It then stores it in the
memory of the bread maker.
This is particularly useful if you have a favorite
recipe that you regularly bake. Alternatively,
for advanced bakers it allows you to factor
in variables such as the brand and type of
flour, quality of the yeast, altitude and climate
considerations. For example, in a humid climate
the rising cycles can be reduced.

BASIC
RAPID
Collapsible This is an all-purpose setting for white breads,
whole wheat breads and whole grain breads that
contain more than 50% bread flour. Use this
setting for packaged bread mixes.
Unlike the BASIC setting, the BASIC RAPID
setting reduces all three of the ‘rise’ phases,
shortening the entire cycle time by approximately
an hour. For this reason, Instant Yeast (also known
as quick-rise yeast, rapid-rise yeast, fast-rising
yeast, fast-acting yeast or bread machine yeast)
must be used with this setting or the bread will not
rise and bake properly.
Almost any BASIC recipe can be modified for use
with the BASIC RAPID setting by replacing Active
Dry Yeast with an equal or larger amount of Instant
Yeast. We also recommend adding Vital Wheat
Gluten. For recommended quantities, Refer to ‘Vital
Wheat Gluten’, page 45 and ‘Yeast’, page 46.
