How to use the Time Delay
•The Taurus Breadmaker allows you to delay the com
-
pletion of your bread by up to 15 hours, so you can
wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread, or go out
for the day while your breadmaker does all the work.
•
Press theDELAY (+/-) button until you reach the
number of hours and minutes that you want
your bread to be ready.
•
Press theSTART/PAUSE button to begin the
cycle. The Timer will start counting down and
the Pre-Heat indicator will flash. The bread will
be cooked and ready in the hours and minutes
displayed on the LCD window.
Note:
If you make a mistake, or need to reset the
Timer, press the START/PAUSE button for
2-3 seconds.
Example
•
Before leaving for work at 8am, you decide to set the
Time Delay so that the bread or selected program will
be ready and completed by 6pm when you return home
- which is 10 hours later.
After following instruction 1 above, press the
DELAY +/- ( / ) button until the display reads
10.00. Then press START.
This tells you that your bread or selected program
will be complete in 10 hours.
The bread maker will begin counting
down and your selected program will be
complete by 6pm.
Note:
You do not need to take into account the
amount of time required to cook the program
selected. This is automatically registered in the
bread maker when it is selected.
Power Interruption Program Protection
•Your Taurus Breadmaker features a 7 minutePower In
-
terruption Protection that protects the program memory
in the advent of a black out or power surge.This means
that if there is a power interruption during your bread
making, the machine will retain its memory for at least
7minutes and continue cooking when the power supply
returns. This feature is applicable whether the machine
is in the Kneading, Baking, Rising or Delay cycle. With-
out this feature the machine would reset and the bread-
making cycle would stop.
If you experience a power failure greater than 7
minutes you may need to discard your ingredients
and start again.
Note:
When the power fails the LCD screen may stay
visable for some minutes and then fade out. This
does not mean that your program has been lost.
Handy hints to a better loaf.
Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser
•Ensure that the Fruit & Nut Dispenser is closed prior to
baking.
Freshness
•
Ensure all ingredients are fresh and used before the
specified use-by date. Unlike bread purchased at the
Supermaket, there are no preservatives in the bread
made in your Taurus Breadmaker, therefore the bread
will not keep as long. Avoid using perishable ingredients
such as milk, yogurt, eggs or cheese, with the Time De-
lay function. Store dry ingredients in airtight containers,
to prevent drying out.
Freezing Bread
•
Prior to freezing your fresh bread, let it cool completely.
Once the bread has cooled slice and wrap in plastic and
use at your convenience.
Removing bread from the pan
•
Like a cake, the bread needs to cool slightly before re-
moving from the bread pan. Allow the bread to sit in
the pan for approximately 10 minutes before removing.
Toppings
•
Ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and chopped
bacon can be added to the top of the bread during the
baking stage. See page 73 for more information. Open
the lid of your Taurus Breadmaker, gently brush the top
of the loaf with a little milk or egg yolk and sprinkle with
topping. (Do not allow ingredients to fall outside pan).
Close lid and allow baking to continue.
Note:
This step needs to be done quickly to prevent
bread from sinking.
Crust Colour
•
It is normal for the top of the bread to be lighter in colour
than the sides. Different combinations of ingredients can
encourage or discourage browning. If you would like the
top crust to be slightly darker, select the Bake program
setting and cook until desired colour is achieved.
Baking at high altitudes
•
At high altitudes above 900 meters, dough rises faster.
Therefore, when baking at high altitudes some experi-
mentation is required. Follow the suggested guidelines.
Use one suggestion at a time and remember to write
down whichsuggestion works best for you.
Suggestions:
1. Reduce the amount of yeast by 25%. This will
stop the bread from over-rising.
2. Increase the salt by 25%. The bread will rise
slower and have less of a tendency to sink.
3. Watch your dough as it mixes. Bread flour stored at
high altitudes tends to be drier. You may have
to add a few tablespoons of water, until the dough
forms a nice ball.
