Using the timer for delayed
completion
Use the TIMER when you would like to delay the
completion of your bread. This feature allows you to
delay the bake time for up to 12 hours. For example,
you can set the TIMER in the evening and wake to fresh
bread the following morning.
NOTE: Be sure you have followed the ‘How to Use
Your Breadmaker’ steps 1-6 in preparing the
ingredients in the baking pan. It is not recommended
that you use the ‘Delayed Completion’ function and
TIMER with recipes that call for fresh ingredients which
might be spoiled such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream,
or cheese.

Determine the time required from when you set
the Breadmaker until the time you want the bread
to be ready.

Press the
▲
arrow on the control panel and the
cycle time for the Setting you have previously
selected will be displayed. Continue to Press
▲
until
the display reads the total time you require.
• The timer moves in 10 minute increments.
• You do not need to calculate the difference
between the Setting time and the total hours you
want. The Breadmaker will automatically adjust to
include the Setting time.
• If you pass the desired time, simply press
▼
to go
back.
• Example: If it is 8 pm when you place all the
ingredients in the baking pan and you would like
the bread at 8 am, you will need a total of 12
hours. Select Setting 1 for a Small loaf. Press
▲
and
3:00 will display. Continue to press
▲
until the
display reads 12:00.

Once you have set the time, press START. The colon
(:) in the display will flash to indicate that the
TIMER has been set and the countdown will begin.
The TIMER will count down in one-minute
decrements. When the display reaches END, your
bread is complete and the beeper will sound.

If you make a mistake while setting the TIMER,
press and hold the STOP button until it beeps. This
will clear the display and you can set the TIMER
again.
Slicing and storing bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and
allow to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. You
may use an electric knife for even slices. Otherwise, use
a sharp knife with a serrated blade.
Store unused bread tightly covered at room
temperature for up to three days. If weather is hot and
humid, store in the refrigerator overnight. For longer
storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly
covered container in the freezer. If you store the bread
in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room
temperature before serving. Since homemade bread
has no preservatives it tends to dry out and become
stale faster than commercially made bread.
