NOTE: RAPID BREAD and DOUGH have two rising cycles with one degassing of the dough. GLUTEN FREE BREAD has only one rising cycle.
Steam may also come out of the vents on the lid and obscure the viewing window for a short time. This is a normal part of the bread making process.
When the baking cycle has ended, the Bread Maker will sound 5 beeps and the LCD Screen will read 0:00. The bread is now ready to remove.
Step 9: Remove the Bread Pan
It is recommended to remove the bread at the end of the baking cycle to retain the crispness of the crust. However, if you do not wish to remove the bread immediately, the Bread Maker will automatically go into a Keep Warm cycle, holding the temperature of the bread for up to 60 minutes (except on the dough setting). Five beeps will sound every five minutes throughout the Keep Warm cycle.
Step 10: Take the Bread Out of the Bread Pan
Use oven mitts to remove the bread pan from the Bread Maker and then gently shake the bread out of the bread pan onto a wire rack. Check that the kneading blade has remained on the shaft in the pan. Place the bread upright on the wire rack to cool. It is recommended to allow the bread sufficient time to cool before slicing.
NOTE: When baking is finished and the bread has been removed from the bread pan, remove the kneading blade from the pan using oven mitts. Do not remove the blade with bare hands, as it is very hot! If the kneading blade is difficult to remove from the driveshaft, pour some warm water with detergent into the pan and allow to stand for 10 minutes. The kneading blade should then be easily removed from the shaft. Follow care and cleaning instructions on page 24.
Step 11: Switch off and Unplug the Bread Maker
Press the START/STOP button on the Bread Maker. The LCD Screen will reset to 1. Switch off at the power and remove the plug.
If wishing to make another loaf of bread, allow approximately one hour for the Bread Maker to cool before using again. Leave the lid open to help the machine cool.
If the Bread Maker is too hot it will display an error code E01 and rapid beeps will sound. The Bread Maker cannot be reprogrammed until the correct operating temperature for kneading has been reached.
To store the Bread Maker ensure it is completely cool, clean and dry. Place the bread pan and kneading blade into the baking chamber and close the lid. Do not place heavy objects on the lid. Store the Bread Maker upright.
Step 12: Cut the Bread
Before cutting the bread, check that the kneading blade has been removed from the bottom of the baked bread.
When the bread is cool, using a
Step 13: Store the Bread
Store the bread in a freezer bag or a sealable bread box. To store for more than a few days, place the bread into a freezer bag, expel the air, seal, label and date. Bread may be frozen for up to 1 month.
