When will the bread be ready?

Pick a start time to see when to add mix-ins and when it finishes, or enter when you want it ready to get the start time and the delay-timer setting.

    Uses the manual's printed total time. Room temperature and a cold start can change real-world timing slightly; delay-timer limits come from the manual.

    Timer, keep-warm and manual notes

    Delay timer: Delay Start works with Cycles 1–11, 13, 15 and 21 and can be set so the total, cycle time plus delay, reaches up to 13 hours. The manual does not recommend Delay Start for Gluten Free Bread.

    Keep warm: Goes to Warm for 1 hour after Cycles 1–11, 16, 17 and 21. Printed times do not include keep-warm.

    Manual discrepancy: The manual's delay-start example on page 5 shows 3:20 for Basic Bread, 2 lb, Medium crust, while the timetable lists 3:12. Your display is the final word.

    Cycle 16 (Bake) has an adjustable baking time from 10 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, Cycle 20 (Roast Nut) runs 45 to 90 minutes, and Cycle 21 (Customize) defaults to 4 hours 40 minutes with adjustable phases, so they are not given separate pages.
