I wrote to Sunbeam customer service and received this response:
"Breadmaker
model 5890 has a 30-minute delay cycle on the Wheat setting. This
allows for a period at the beginning of the cycle to “soften” the
ingredients for better results. During the first 30 minutes, the
machine does not do anything."
push the stop button until your machine beeps, then unplug it and plug it back in. push select and push it again and again and you will get more confident as you see it go through the choices such as basic, whole wheat, french etc...... you will get more confident about how to choose. Once you feel you have the right program leave it there and then choose things such as the crust color you want and the LOAF SIZE once you feel you have the right settings say....whole wheat, light crust, 1.5 pound loaf.......then....push start and the fun will begin....
If you feel your dough has kneaded and risen enough, try pushing the stop button until it beeps. Then unplug and replug and select the bake stage and using the timer feature put enough time on the bake cycle to equal the bake time of your original whole wheat bake stage. That time should be on your page in the manual that shows the length of all the programs.
push the "stop" button until it beeps..........then unplug your machine....then plug it back in...... and push the select button again and again until the program you want appears in the read out then push "start" your paddle should start kneading slowly unless you choose whole wheat, then it might take about 1/2 hour until it starts kneading.... If you choose program 1 or basic it should start kneading right away.... please let me know if this works....
If you chose the "whole wheat program" it may have a delay cycle. Many whole wheat programs on bread machines Try turning it on with no ingredients in it. You won't hurt the machine doing this. If it hasn't started kneading within 30 minutes then it is definitely broken. For example one of my madhines is a Toastmaster brand. If I choose the whole wheat program it slowly preheats for 20 minutes before any kneading begins.
If you want it to come on right away you need to not be using the timer at all. You need to select one of your bread programs, basic, whole wheat etc. and push start it will start kneading right away or after a few minutes if it detects the temp is too low.
Hi Mindy.......it takes 30 minutes to PREHEAT this silly machine for wheat bread. I thought I did something wrong, too........I stopped it twice after it preheated for about 15 minutes. I did not want to waste anything so I let it stay in the machine.....I just went to check the machine and it started after 30 minutes of preheating.
