1. If you are new to this recipe, please try the 2LB loaf variant first, as it is the most error-proof compared with the 1.5LB and 1LB. If you use the Delay Timer function, the 2LB recipe is also recommended to better cope with unpredictable events during the unattended hours. Please set the correct loaf size using the LOAF SIZE button.

2. This recipe was carefully developed and tested at the normal room temperature 68°F - 77°F (20°C - 25°C) using Instant Dry Yeast, NOT Active Dry Yeast or Dry Yeast. Yeast is the only wildcard for a successful loaf.

3. It's recommended to measure yeast by teaspoons and confirm by grams; measure flour by grams instead of by cups. If measure flour by cups, please observe these FIVE precautions: (a) Use US Standard measuring cup or the provided cup (b) Don't use cup to scoop flour (c) Don't fill cup from flour sack (d) Use a big spoon to loosen flour well, scoop flour, then loosely fill the cup (e) Level off flour at the cup top using a dinner knife.

4. Always use oven mittens when removing the bread pan from the machine or removing the bread from the pan. Please take out the bread pan right after the baking is done, and then wait for 1-2 minutes to remove the bread from the pan.

5. Bread is very sensitive to environment (temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.) and ingredients (especially the yeast). If you encounter any problems, please contact KitchenArm customer service. Rest assured, you WILL soon get the perfect loaf.
