Sorry that didn't help you!. Hoenstly though, ANY bread machine book may be helpful to you because they all work in the same way!. I use mine quite a bit!.

Looks like your machine is a very early model & the manufacturer is out of business or sold!.

Flour – Use flour that is marked “bread flour” or “better for bread”!. (These will usually be labeled as having more gluten than regular flour!.)
Dry Skim Milk – This enhances the flavor and adds to the nutrition of the bread!.
Butter – Butter adds a rich flavor to the bread and makes it soft!.
Dry Yeast – Yeast is necessary for causing the dough to rise!. Select ready to use yeast which needs no preliminary fermentation!. Use only active dry yeast!. Don’t use 50% faster dry yeast!.
Sugar – Sugar speeds up the dough rising process, adds flavor, and makes the bread soft and the crust brown!.
Salt – Salt controls the activity of the yeast and makes the dough firm!.
Water – Gluten is formed when flour is mixed with water!. This allows the dough to rise by retaining air!. The amount of water and its temperature are very important!. Usually, the water temperature should be between 68 F/20 C and 77 F/25 C!. When the room temperature is over 82 F/ 26C, use cold water (about 41 F/5 C)!. When the room temperature is under 50 F/10 C, use lukewarm water (about 100 F/38 C)!.
