Using the Delay Timer

You can delay the time your breadmaker starts to have fresh bread ready when you get up in the morning or when you come from work.

We recommend that before you use the Delay Timer, you try out a few recipes. Use recipes that have produced good results for you in the past.

IMPORTANT: You cannot use the Delay Timer for ExpressBakesettings (bread in under 1 hour). Before using the Delay Timer:

1

Add all recipe ingredients to the bread pan.

2

Select the correct setting for the kind of bread you are making

 

(French, Sweet, etc.).

3

Select the crust color.

CAUTION: Do not use recipes with ingredients that can spoil like eggs or milk.

To Use the Delay Timer:

1

Figure out how many hours and minutes there are between now

 

and when you want final, baked bread. For example, if it is 8:00 A.M.

 

and you want bread ready for dinner at 6:00 P.M., that is 10 hours.

2

Use the “Timer Up” button to advance the time in 10 minute

 

increments. In our example, you will do this until the timer reads

“10:00.” If necessary, use the “Timer Down” button to decrease the time. (To advance the time quickly, simply press and hold down the “Timer Up/Down” buttons.)

IMPORTANT: If you make a mistake or wish to start over, press and hold down the “Start/Stop” button until you hear a beep. The display will show the original setting and cycle time. The Delay Timer is canceled and you can start again.

3

When the Delay Timer is set where you want it, make sure to press

 

the “Start/Stop” button. The colon ( : ) will flash and your bread

will be ready when you planned.

IMPORTANT: When using the Delay Timer during times of hot weather, you may wish to reduce the liquid in your recipe by 1 or 2 tablespoons. This is to prevent the dough from rising too much. You may also reduce the salt by 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon and try cutting the amount

of sugar you use by 1/4 teaspoon at a time.
