KBS “Documents” – Caveat – Like all things offered in an Amazon listing – it could change or disappear. In fact the names of identical pdf documents are often not consistent across all KBS Bread Machine offerings and these may be Affiliate Links. These “worked” as of 2023-Aug-30 2024-03-11
It is also worth mentioning that KBS does not have the most easily used user manuals. That said, likely almost all the information you need it there – just not in the order you would expect and certainly not in a manner that would make most beginning bread machine users comfortable.
BUT NOT SO YOU WILL BUY SOMETHING. truthfully mostly so I can “find” the details and share the blog entry without having needing to retype it from time to time
IF you scroll down to “PRODUCT GUIDES AND DOCUMENTS” usually below Product Information
you will see links to download PDF that are useful for many of the KBS Bread Machines,
USER GUIDE – a PDF “Time Chart“, invaluable when you start experimenting. Some what we have deduced from the time chart can be found at my KBS Time Chart article
KBS Quick Start Guide This different than an owner manual –
The KBS MBF-011 Manual has the basic of most of the KBS machines.
“APPLICATION GUIDE: Is a PDF of Beth Hensperger’s original version of “the Bread Lovers Bread Machine Cookbook” chock full of “universal truths” for bread machine baking etc. Not too mention recipes that are much more useful and can easily be used for 1, 1.5 & 2 lb settings.
I am currently using and surprisingly happy with, The KBS MBF-041. and really just the more basic features = certainly NOT any of their recipes as written. Unhappily, it appears to be disco’d by KBS.
My major complaint with KBS continues to be the lack of consistent customer service. I have used the contact form on their website, emailed every address I have been able to find. Tried to get thru Amazon because of a warranty issue (no help as expected) Post in the Q&A Sections of their website. Others have had a more positive experience.
My suggestion is that if you think these PDFs will help you, download them from the sources. They could easily disappear tomorrow.
