West Bend Automatic - Measure Ingredients Precisely and Accurately

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
MEASURE INGREDIENTS PRECISELY AND ACCURATELY
THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN USING YOUR BREAD MAKER IS TO MEASURE THE INGRE
DIENTS PRECISELY AND ACCURATELY. A mismeasured tablespoon of water or teaspoon of salt
can make a BIG difference in the bread maker. The bread maker cannot adjust for mismeasured ingredients,
ONLY TOUCAN MAKE SURE THE INGREDIENTS ARE MEASURED PRECISELY.
Follow these VERY IMPORTANT tips when measuring ingredients:
1. Read through the recipe and organize the ingredients you will need in the order they are added to the
bread pan. Many bread disasters occur because an ingredient was left out or added twice.
2. Use standard kitchen measuring cups and spoons.
ALWAYS use glass or plastic "see thru" liquid measuring cups to measure liquids. Place cup on flat
surface and measure at "EYE LEVEL," not at an angle. The liquid level line MUST be right to the
measurement marking, not above or below. A "looks close enough" measurement can spell disaster in
bread making.
Liquid level must be exactly to measurement
mark on glass or plastic liquid measuring cups.

ALWAYS use standard dry measuring cups for measuring all dry ingredients, especially flour. ALWAYS
SPOON dry ingredients into the specified measuring cup, then LEVEL OFF top with a ta iife. AH measure
ments must be level. DO NOT SCOOP measuring cups into the dry ingredients for measuring as you
will compress the ingredients into the cup and end up with more than intended which will affect the
loaf of bread.
Spoon dry ingredients into measuring cups, then level off.
ALWAYS use standard measuring spoons for measuring ingredients such as yeast, salt, sugar, dry milk,
etc. as well as small amounts of honey, molasses, or water. Again, the measurements MUST BE LEVEL,
not rounded or heaping as this little bit of difference can affect the bread. DO NOT USE TABLEWARE
AS MEASURING SPOONS AS THESE VARY IN SIZE AND WILL NOT BE ACCURATE.
All ingredients measured in measuring spoons
must be level, not rounded or heaping.
