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 between now and then. For example, if you want a loaf at 8am, and it is now 9:00pm, the difference is 11 hours.
2Enter 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’.
*Varies slightly - see cycle time chart for exact delay times.
*When the timer is used it may not be convenient to add any additional ingredients at the time required. You can add the rest of the ingredients before the flour, however these may get chopped up.

•when pressing any button;

ii)If the program has passed rise 1, the ingredients will have to be discarded and you must start again with fresh ingredients.
For best results place bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for
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, after 4 to 5 days.
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.
