Using The Timer - Russell Hobbs Breadmaker Instructions Manual

using the timer

45 Using the timer is optional – if you don't want to use it, jump to point 51.
46 You may use the timer to set the finishing time up to 13 hours ahead (including the recipe
time).
47 The timer only works with the basic, French, wholewheat, and sweet programs.
48 Don't use the timer with a recipe containing fresh milk, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, fruit, onions,
or anything else that might go off if left for a few hours in a warm moist environment.
49 It's a great convenience, and it's really nice to come home to the smell of freshly cooked
bread, but, like most things, there's a downside:
a) leaving the ingredients together for an extended period will inevitably cause some
interaction, especially on a hot or humid day
b) the results probably won't be quite as good as bread made right away
c) the bread will still be nice, but it'll be "good", rather than "great"
50 Here's how:
a) carry out the instructions up to point 44 (page 5)
b) don't use fruit, or anything moist – you'll speed up the interaction
c) if your recipe uses nuts or raisins, add them after the flour
d) decide when you want your bread to be ready, e.g. 6 p.m.
e) check the time now, e.g. 7 a.m.
f) work out the difference between the two times, e.g. 11 hours
g) use the + and - buttons to change the time shown on the display from the program time
to the time you've just worked out (e.g. 11 hours)
h) each press will decrease - or increase + the time displayed by 10 minutes
i) you can't reduce the time to less than the program time.
j) the maximum time which can be shown on the display is 13 hours
k) when you've set the time, go to point 51 (press start/stop)
l) go to work/shopping/whatever, and on your return, you'll be welcomed home by the
aroma of freshly baked bread
start the breadmaker
51 When you're happy with the settings, press the start/stop button.
a) the breadmaker will beep
b) the timer colon (:) flashes, to let you know the program is operating
c) the timer starts counting down, to show the amount of time left
nothing happening on program 3? – don't worry
52 If you're using the wholewheat program, you won't hear any movement for about 30 minutes.
53 Don't worry, nothing's wrong – this program needs the time to preheat the ingredients to
about 25°C.
nuts and raisins
54 If the recipe uses nuts, raisins, or the like, they should be added during the kneading process
a) this affects only programs 1 (basic), 3 (wholewheat), and 5 (sweet)
b) you'll know when it's kneading – you'll hear the paddles whirring
c) the new ingredients should be as dry as possible
d) if you're using fresh fruit or vegetables, dry them with kitchen towel
55 The breadmaker will beep 15 times when it wants them:
e) open the lid
f) sprinkle the nuts/raisins/etc. evenly over the dough
g) close the lid
