chosen programme to be finished or the bread to be ready when you get home at 6.00 p.m., 10 hours later.
Follow the above instructions, then press the button until 10.00 is displayed. Then press .
This means that the bread or selected programme will be completed in 10 hours time. The appliance begins
the countdown and the selected programme will end at 6.00 p.m. NB: you do not need to take the time neces-
sary to complete the selected programme into consideration. This will be automatically registered by the
appliance when you make the selection.
POWER FAILURE BACKUP
The appliance has a power failure backup which retains the cycle in the memory in the event of power fai-
lure or voltage surge.
This means that if there is a power failure while the bread is baking, the appliance will retain the memory
for at least 10 minutes and will continue the baking process when the electricity comes back on.
This option is available during the Kneading, Baking, Leavening or Delay Bake cycles.
Without this feature, the appliance would reset and the bread baking cycle would stop.
If the power failure lasts more than 10 minutes, you may have to throw away the ingredients and start again.
PRACTICAL TIPS
Order of ingredients
Add the liquid first, then the dry ingredients and finally the yeast.
Fruit and nuts should be added later when the appliance has completed the first kneading phase.
This enables evenly cooked crusty bread to be obtained at any moment.
Freshness
Make sure all ingredients are fresh and use them before the specified "Use by" date.
Unlike supermarket bread, bread baked in the appliance does not contain preservatives and therefore will
not keep for as long.
Do not use perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs or cheese with the Delay Bake function.
Keep dry products in sealed pans to avoid them deteriorating.
Slicing the bread
For best results, leave the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Place the loaf sideways on and cut with a bread knife using a sawing movement.
Use of an electric bread knife facilitates and standardises this operation.
Freezing the bread
Before freezing fresh bread, leave it to cool down completely and wrap in plastic.
Slice the bread before freezing and use as needed.
Removing the bread from the pan
Just as with a cake, the bread should be allowed to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.
Leave the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing.
To remove the hot pan, use pan handles.
Toppings
During baking, you can add ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and pieces of bacon on top of the
bread.
Open the lid, brush the bread with a little milk or egg yolk, then add the topping.
Make sure the ingredients remain inside the pan.
Close the lid and continue baking.
NB: you should do this as rapidly as possible to make sure the bread does not collapse.
