• Use digital scales for better accuracy than measuring cups

• Clean the non-stick pan with a soft cloth—no abrasive scrubbing

• Store homemade loaves in a breathable cloth bag to retain texture

• Use bread flour for better rise and structure

• For pizza dough, remove as soon as the kneading cycle ends

• Select “light” crust for sweet loaves to avoid over-browning

• Avoid lifting the lid during proofing and baking cycles

• Use the delay timer overnight to wake up to fresh bread
