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: Completion time can be set up to about 13 hours ahead in 10-minute increments. The Add Beep does not sound when the timer is used.

    Keep warm: 1:00 keep-warm after bread courses. Printed times do not include keep-warm.

    Course 15, HOMEMADE, lets you program your own cycle times (up to 3 memory settings), so it has no fixed time.
