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: The Timer delays completion in 10-minute increments for up to 13 hours. It works only with the Basic, Basic Wheat, Basic Dough and Home Made courses.

    Keep warm: 60-minute keep-warm after Basic, Quick, Wheat and Quick Wheat. Printed times do not include keep-warm.

    The HOME MADE course lets you program up to 3 custom cycle settings, so it has no fixed time.
