Using the Time Delay

The Bakehouse allows you to delay the completion 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 Bakehouse does all the work.
Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the recipe has perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs, or cheese, as these may spoil.

3. Follow remaining steps 7 – 10 on page 12.
   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 Bakehouse when it is selected.

Using the Bake Only menu
The BAKE menu setting is useful if the bread crust is too light or requires more baking time. This setting will bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes and can be controlled by pressing the Start/Stop button at any time.

1. Press the BAKE button.
2. Adjust the amount of time using the buttons.
3. Press the Start/Stop button.

Power Interruption Program Protection
Your Bakehouse features a 7 minute Power Interruption Protection that protects the program memory in the advent of power surges, or short term power failure (blackout) This means that if there is a power interruption during your bread making, the machine will retain its memory for at least 7 minutes and continue cooking when the power supply returns. If you experience a power failure greater than 7 minutes you may need to discard ingredients and start again. If the power interruption occurs in the baking cycle, you can use the BAKE ONLY setting to finish baking.

Fruit and Nut Dispenser
Your Bakehouse has an Automatic Fruit and Nut dispenser, which automatically releases dry ingredients into the dough during the kneading cycle. This will occur during the second kneading cycle, ensuring that the dried fruit and nuts are not crushed and that the pieces remain whole and are evenly dispersed. This option is available on all menus except Turbo, Rye, Jam and Bake Only. Do not overfill the dispenser and ensure the dispenser is closed prior to each use. The dispenser may be open from the previous time it was used.

Care and Cleaning

• Before cleaning the Bakehouse, unplug it from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
• To clean the exterior
• Wipe the exterior with a slightly dampened cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use metal scourers or abrasives, as these may scratch the exterior surface.

To clean the non-stick baking pan

• Gently wash bread pan in warm soapy water using a soft cloth and dry well before and after each use.
• Wipe baking pan and kneading blade with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use any harsh abrasives or strong household cleaners as these may
• damage the non-stick surface.

Caring for your non-stick baking pan

• Do not use metal utensils to remove ingredients or bread as they may damage the non-stick coating. Do not be concerned if the non-stick coating wears off or changes color over time.
• This is the result of steam, moisture, food acids, mixing of various ingredients and normal wear and tear. This is in no way harmful and does not affect the performance of your Bakehouse.
• Do not wash any part of your bread maker in a dishwasher.
• Do not immerse the Bakehouse in water.
• Remove and clean the lid.
• To remove lid, simply raise the lid just short of the vertical position (approx. 70°). While holding the base of the unit with one hand, gently lift the lid out of the hinge. Wipe interior and exterior of lid with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before replacing lid.

Storage

• Make sure the Bakehouse is completely cool and dry before storing. Store the Bakehouse with the lid closed and do not place heavy objects on top of the lid.
