Using the Time Delay
Power Interruption Program
Protection
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.
1. Follow steps 1 – 5 on page 12.
2. Press and buttons until you reach
the number of hours and minutes you want
your bread to be ready. Press to add or
minus time in 10 minute intervals.
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
and buttons.
3. Press the Start/Stop button.
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 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.
