d) With protective hot pads or insulted oven
mitts, remove the paddle from the drive
shaft inside the bread pan. Do not attempt
to remove the paddle with your bare hand
as it is very hot. If the paddle is difficult to
remove, pour some warm water and a little
detergent into the bread pan and allow to
stand for 10–20 minutes to loosen baked-on
crust or crumb residue.
NOTE
Never immerse the outside of the bread pan
in water as this may interfere with the free
movement of the wingnut and drive shaft.
Submerge and wash only the interior of the
bread pan. Refer to 'Care and Cleaning'.
CAUTION
Always use protective hot pads or insulated
oven mitts when handling the bread pan,
paddle and bread as they will be very hot.
Always remove the paddle from the baked
bread before slicing. Never use metal utensils
to remove the paddle.
KEEP WARM
The bread maker will automatically go into
a keep warm cycle in BASIC, BASIC RAPID,
WHOLEMEAL, WHOLEMEAL RAPID,
CRUSTY, SWEET, BAKE ONLY, CAKE and
BAGUETTE settings. The keep warm time is
up to 60 minutes except the CAKE setting
which is approximately 22 minutes. At this
time the timer will display 0:00 only. However,
as the loaf cools it gives off steam which cannot
escape from the bread pan. The bread crust
may become soft and the loaf may slightly lose
its shape.
UNPLUG THE BREAD MAKER
While the bread is cooling, turn off the bread
maker at the power outlet and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.
NOTE
If you wish to make another loaf of bread, allow
approximately one hour cooling time before
using again. Open the lid to help cool the
interior baking chamber. The bread maker will
not operate until it cools down to the correct
operating temperature for kneading.
SLICE THE BREAD
TIP
Bread slices best when allowed to cool for
a minimum of 20 minutes (preferably longer).
This allows the steam to escape. If you wish to
serve bread warm, wrap it in foil and re-heat in
an oven and not the bread maker.
e) Ensure the paddle is not in the bottom
of the baked bread loaf and slice using
a serrated bread knife or electric knife.
For longer slices, place the loaf on its side
and slice across.
STORE THE BREAD
Store unused bread tightly covered at room
temperature for up to 2 days. Since homemade
bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out
and become stale faster than commercially-
made bread. For longer storage, place bread in
a sealable plastic bag, removing any air before
sealing, then place in the freezer. Bread may be
frozen for up to 1 month.
TIP
Leftover or slightly hardened bread can be
used to make bread crumbs.
