Using the timer Slicing and storing bread

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.

1Decide when you want the bread to be ready and

calculate the difference in time btween 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.

3The 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

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

1.3cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or stuffing.

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 interuption

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.
