4.4 Delay Bake Timer

The bread machine will beep at a specific point in certain cycles to indicate when to add ingredients like fruits, nuts, or seeds. Open the lid carefully and add the ingredients, then close the lid to continue the cycle.
5. Care and Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Loaf Pan and Kneading Paddle
After each use, allow the loaf pan and kneading paddle to cool completely. Remove the bread. Fill the pan with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 10-15 minutes to loosen any stuck-on dough. Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
5.2 Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the bread machine with a dry cloth. For stubborn stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the unit in water.
5.3 Storage
Ensure the bread machine is clean and dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not place heavy objects on top of the machine.
