delay timer

power interruption protection

The Delay timer allows you to delay the bread making process up to 15 hours. The delayed start cannot be used with the “RAPID BAKE” program and is not recommended for use with either the dough, jam or gluten free settings.

IMPORTANT: When using this delayed start function you must not use perishable ingredients – things that ‘go off’ easily at room temperature or above, such as milk, egg, cheese and yoghurt etc.

To use the DELAY TIMER simply place the ingredients in the bread pan and lock the pan into the bread maker. Then:

Press the MENU pad to choose the required program – the program cycle time is displayed.

Select the crust colour and size required.

Then set the delay timer.

Press the (+) TIMER pad and keep pressing until the total time required is displayed. If you go past the required time press the (-) TIMER pad to go back. The timer pad when pressed, moves in 10 minute increments. You do not need to work out the difference between the program time selected and the total hours required as the bread maker will automatically include the setting cycle time.

Example: Finished loaf required at 7am. If the breadmaker is set up with the required recipe ingredients at 10pm the evening before, total time to be set on the delayed timer is 9 hours.

Press the MENU pad to choose your program e.g. 1 and use the (+) timer pad to scroll the time in 10 minute increments to display ‘9:05’. If you go past ‘9:05’, simply press the (-) timer pad until you return to ‘9:05’.

Press the start pad and the display colon (:) will flash. The timer will start to count down.

If you make a mistake or

wish to change the time set, press the START/STOP pad until it beeps. You can then reset the time.

Your Bread Maker has an 8 minute power interruption protection in case the unit is accidentally unplugged during operation. The unit will continue the program if plugged back in straight away.

care and cleaning

IMPORTANT: unplug the Bread Maker and allow to cool before cleaning.

Do not immerse either the Bread Maker body or the outside base of the bread pan in water.

Do not use a dishwasher to clean bread pan. Dishwashing can damage the non-stick properties of the bread pan allowing bread to stick during baking.

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or metal implements.

Clean the bread pan and the kneader immediately after each use by partially filling the pan with warm soapy water. Leave to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. To remove the kneader, turn clockwise and lift off. Finish cleaning with a soft cloth, rinse and dry.

If the kneader cannot be removed after 10 minutes, hold the shaft from underneath the pan and twist back and forth until the kneader is released.

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outside and inside surfaces of the Bread Maker if necessary.

The lid can be lifted off for cleaning.
