after the baking process
The inside of the breadmaker, the bread pan, the kneading blades and the bread are very hot.
Always use oven mitts when you remove the bread pan at the end of the baking cycle or at any
time during the keep-warm mode.
1 To stop the keep-warm mode, press the start/stop/cancel button for 2 seconds. The display
shows “OFF”, the current program is cancelled and the appliance goes back to the default
setting.
2 To switch off the appliance, remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
3 Using pot holders or oven mitts, open the lid and grab the handle of the bread pan. Pull the
bread pan to the left or right to unlock it and lift it out of the appliance by its handle.
4 For easy bread removal, let the bread sit upright in the bread pan for 5 minutes. Then turn
the pan upside down, hold the handle and shake the bread out onto a wire cooling rack to
release heat and moisture from the bread faster.
If necessary, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf.
Do not use metal utensils to remove the bread, as these may damage the non-stick coating of the
bread pan.
Be careful, the bread pan and the bread are hot.
5 If one or both kneading blades is/are lodged in the bottom of the bread, use the metal hook
supplied with the appliance to remove it/them.
Always make sure that the kneading blades do not stay inside the bread, otherwise you may damage
the kneading blades when you slice the bread.
Do not use other metal utensils to remove the kneading blades, as other metal utensils may
damage the non-stick coating of the kneading blades.
Be careful, the kneading blades and the bread are hot.
6 Immediately remove the kneading blades from the bread pan to prevent them from getting
stuck.
Note: If the blades are stuck, fill the bread pan with water to a level above the kneading blades and let
the bread pan soak for 30 minutes. Then remove the kneading blades from the shafts.
7 Let the bread cool down on the wire cooling rack for 30-60 minutes before you slice it with
a bread knife or electric knife.
8 Let the appliance cool down before you clean it or before you bake another loaf of bread.
storing bread
- Bread should be eaten while fresh, as it does not contain any preservatives. It can only be stored
for 1 or 2 days.
- Store the bread at room temperature in a tightly sealed plastic bag or an airtight container.
- Sliced bread loses its freshness and dries out more quickly than unsliced bread.
- Store French-style bread in a paper bag or exposed to the air to retain the crisp crust. This type
of bread is best eaten on the same day on which it was baked.
Freezing/defrosting bread
- Bread can be frozen in an airtight container for 4-6 weeks.
- You can slice the bread before freezing, to be able to use only a few slices at a time.
- If you defrost the entire loaf, let it defrost in the same container, to allow the moisture to be
reabsorbed by the bread.
- Let bread defrost at room temperature or at a low setting in the microwave.
