How it compares
Whole wheat and whole grain flours absorb more water and develop gluten more slowly, so these programs add preheating, kneading or rising time. Expect them to run longer than the Basic or White program on the same machine.

Where these times come from
What to check before pressing Start
For West Bend 41413, the useful planning number is 1.5 lb: 3 hr 25 min · 2 lb: 3 hr 30 min—but program choice should come before stopwatch choice.
Check first: Whole-grain dough absorbs water slowly, so flour type, room temperature and hydration can matter as much as the clock.
The duration comes from cdn.shopify.com; practical planning notes are editorial context and do not replace the manual.
