I bought traditional yeast before reading the directions for my new breadmaker that says I'm supposed to use breadmaker yeast, or fast-acting yeast. Can I get by with the traditional yeast? if so, how?

I've never used a breadmaker, so I couldn't resist the $6 Oster breadmaker at the thrift store today. I called the toll free number on the sticker, and found out it is complete (the only part is the breadpan) and 12 years old. The manual might not arrive for 4 to 6 weeks, and I'm dying to it out! Can anyone give brief me on how to work it, and give me their favorite raisin bread recipe? Thanks for your time!
