Using the timer
Use the timer when you want the bread ready later,
or in the morning. A maximum of 13 hours can be set.
Check if function is available by consulting ‘Baking
cycle times’ section. Do not use this function with
recipes that use perishable ingredients such as eggs,
fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese.
1 Decide when you want the bread to be ready and
calculate the difference in time between now and
then. For example, if you want a loaf at 8am, and it
is now 7.30pm, the difference is 12
1
/
2
hours.
2 Enter this time by pressing ‘Time ▼’ and ‘Time ▲’
buttons. Arrows will move time up or down in
10-minute increments. After you have pressed
Start, the colon (:) will flash.
• If you have selected the wrong time press stop for 2
seconds. The timer will go back to the program
time, repeat step 1 and 2.
3 The timer delay is up to a maximum of 13 hours.
This is when the bread will be ready to remove from
the machine, see page 8 item 14 ‘Remove the
food’.
Beeper
The beeper sounds:
• when pressing any button;
• during the second kneading cycle of certain
programs to indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or
other ingredients can be added;
• when the program finishes;
•when keep warm finishes.
Power interruption
After a brief power supply failure
• if the program has not yet reached rise 1, press
Start and the program will continue using the
automatic repeat function;
• if it has gone beyond this point, the process must
be started from the very beginning. The ingredients
will have to be discarded and you must start again
with fresh ingredients.
Slicing and storing bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and
allow to cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated
blade for even slices.
Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic bag
at room temperature for up to three days. If weather is
hot and humid, store in the refrigerator overnight.
For longer storage (up to one month), place bread
in a tightly covered container in the freezer.
If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out
to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Since homemade bread has no preservatives it
tends to dry out and become stale faster than
commercially made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into
1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and used in
favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or
stuffing.
Drop down blade
The breadmaker has a unique kneading blade
which folds down flat at the end of the 2nd rise cycle,
this ‘punches’ the dough ready for the final rise 3 and
allows the blade to fold flat to minimise the hole size
left in the base of the baked loaf.
Ensure the blade is in the upright position before
adding the ingredients. If it falls over, lift it back to the
upright position.
Clean the blade every time after use, ensure the
blade rotates freely on the spindle before each use,
you can add a little sunflower oil to the joint before
putting it back into the pan. This will then be ready for
next use.
Refer to page 8, ‘using your breadmaker’ for
guidance.
