DO NOT COVER bread maker with anything during operation as this can cause malfunction. DO NOT TOUCH control panel buttons after bread maker has been turned on as this can interrupt the cycle. Turn bread maker off after completion of cycle.
Page 5 DO NOT EXCEED 3 cups of bread flour for the 1½ pound loaf or 2 cups bread flour for the 1 pound loaf. Breads containing whole wheat, cereals or oats should not exceed a total of 3½ cups for the 1½ pound loaf or 2½ cups for the 1 pound loaf.
Page 6 SALT has several functions in making bread. It inhibits the yeast growth while strengthening the gluten structure to make the dough more elastic, plus it adds flavor. Use ordinary table salt to your bread maker. Using too little or eliminating the salt will cause the dough to over-rise.

Page 9 : After you have prepared some of the ADAPTING YOUR FAVORITE BREAD/DOUGH RECIPES recipes in this book, you may wish to adapt some of your favorite conventional bread recipes to the bread maker. Some experimentation will be required on your part and you will need to check the condition of the dough during the knead cycle for any minor adjustment that may be needed in liquid or flour.
Page 10: Start/Stop Button
The basic/specialty bread setting can be used for almost any bread recipe containing at least 50% bread flour. If a recipe contains less than 50% bread flour, then use the whole wheat setting as this setting features a longer knead cycle which is beneficial for whole grain flour, such as whole wheat.

So you know exactly what is going on inside the bread maker BREAKDOWN OF BREAD/DOUGH CYCLES: during the process time, the following chart breaks down the time in minutes and seconds that each cycle requires.
Page 15 After the dough is kneaded, it is allowed to rise for a certain period of time. You may hear faint RISE clicking sounds during the rise as gentle heat is being provided to keep the chamber warm. After the dough has risen, it is then stirred down by the knead bar STIR-DOWN (1) to remove excess carbon dioxide gas created by the yeast.
