Note: If the time on the display reaches 13 hours and you still keep the timer increase button pressed, the display goes back to the baking time of the

set program.

Note: If you pass the time you want to set, press the opposite button to increase or decrease the time.

Press the start/stop/cancel button.

The timer counts down the set time in minutes.

The bread is ready when the timer has counted down to 00:00 and the appliance beeps.

after the baking process

The inside of the breadmaker, the bread pan, the kneading blade and the bread are very hot. Always use oven mitts when you remove the

bread pan at the end of the baking cycle or at any time during the keep-warm mode.

To stop the keep-warm mode, press the start/stop/cancel button for 2 seconds. The display shows "OFF", cancels the current program

and goes back to the default setting.

To switch off the appliance, remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

Using pot holders or oven mitts, open the lid and turn the bread pan anticlockwise. Then grab the bread pan by its handle and lift it out

of the appliance.

For easy bread removal, let the bread sit upright in the bread pan for 5 minutes. Then turn the pan upside down, hold the handle and

shake the bread out onto a wire cooling rack to release heat and moisture from the bread faster.

If necessary, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf.

Do not use metal utensils to remove the bread, as these may damage the non-stick coating of the bread pan.

Be careful, the bread pan and the bread are hot.

If the kneading blade is in the bottom of the bread, use the metal hook supplied with the appliance to remove the kneading blade.

Always make sure that the kneading blade does not stay inside the bread, otherwise you may damage the kneading blade when you slice the

bread.

Do not use metal utensils to remove the kneading blade, as these may damage the non-stick coating of the kneading blade.

Be careful, the kneading blade and the bread are hot.

Immediately remove the kneading blade from the bread pan to prevent it from getting stuck.

Note: If the blade is stuck, fill the bread pan with water to a level above the kneading blade and let the bread pan soak for 30 minutes. Then remove

the kneading blade from the shaft.

Let the bread cool down on the wire cooling rack for 30-60 minutes before you slice it with a bread knife or electric knife.

Let the appliance cool down before you clean it or before you bake another loaf of bread.

storing bread

Bread should be eaten while fresh, as it does not contain any preservatives. It can only be stored for 1 or 2 days.

Store the bread at room temperature in a tightly sealed plastic bag or an airtight container.

Sliced bread loses its freshness and dries out more quickly than unsliced bread.

Store French-style bread in a paper bag or exposed to the air to retain the crisp crust. This type of bread is best eaten on the same day on

which it was baked.

Freezing/defrosting bread

Bread can be frozen in an airtight container for 4-6 weeks.

You can slice the bread before freezing, to be able to use only a few slices at a time.

If you defrost the entire loaf, let it defrost in the same container, to allow the moisture to be reabsorbed by the bread.

Let bread defrost at room temperature or at a low setting in the microwave.
