[. . . ] After removing the bread from the pan, leave it to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. HOW TO USE THE DELAY BAKE FUNCTION You can delay baking for up to 13 hours, enabling you to wake up in the morning to the fragrance of freshly baked bread, or go out leaving the appliance in operation. It is important to make a small hollow in the top of the dry mixture for the yeast. This will make sure it is activated when it comes in contact with the liquid and sugar during kneading. NB: do not use the Delay Bake function if the recipe contains perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs or cheese as they could deteriorate. Models without automatic distributor: do not use the Delay Bake function for recipes requiring fruit or nuts to be added at a later stage to prevent them being broken up excessively during kneading. 1. Press the button until you reach the number of hours or minutes between the present time and the time you want the bread to be ready. The bread will be baked and ready by the end of the number of hours and minutes displayed. NB: in the event of error or to reset the time, press the button. Example Before leaving to go to work at 8. 00 a. m. , you might want to set the Delay Bake function in order for the 12 chosen programme to be finished or the bread to be ready when you get home at 6. 00 p. m. , 10 hours later. Follow the above instructions, then press the button until 10. 00 is displayed. This means that the bread or selected programme will be completed in 10 hours time. The appliance begins the countdown and the selected programme will end at 6. 00 p. m. NB: you do not need to take the time necessary to complete the selected programme into consideration. This will be automatically registered by the appliance when you make the selection. POWER FAILURE BACKUP The appliance has a power failure backup which retains the cycle in the memory in the event of power failure or voltage surge. This means that if there is a power failure while the bread is baking, the appliance will retain the memory for at least 10 minutes and will continue the baking process when the electricity comes back on. This option is available during the Kneading, Baking, Leavening or Delay Bake cycles. Without this feature, the appliance would reset and the bread baking cycle would stop. If the power failure lasts more than 10 minutes, you may have to throw away the ingredients and start again. PRACTICAL TIPS Order of ingredients Add the liquid first, then the dry ingredients and finally the yeast. Fruit and nuts should be added later when the appliance has completed the first kneading phase. This enables evenly cooked crusty bread to be obtained at any moment. Freshness Make sure all ingredients are fresh and use them before the specified "Use by" date. Unlike supermarket bread, bread baked in the appliance does not contain preservatives and therefore will not keep for as long. Do not use perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs or cheese with the Delay Bake function. [. . . ] The built-in thermostat prevents the appliance from overheating. The appliance must cool down for about ten minutes before you can start using the Oven function.
