9   The breadmaker has a keep warm 

facility to reduce condensation of 
steam within the loaf which operates 
if the stop pad is not pressed on 
completion of the program.

  However, this will accelerate the 

browning of the crust, therefore, 
upon completion of baking, switch 
off the unit, remove the bread 
immediately from the unit to cool it.

  If you leave the bread to cool 

down in the bread pan, moisture 
will be retained within the loaf 
which will affect the finished 
quality of the loaf. Therefore, cool 
on a wire rack to ensure optimum 
quality of the loaf.
