NEED HELP?
Questions about general
performance and
operation.
Question 1
What should I do if the
kneading blade comes out
with the bread?
Remove it with a pair of plastic
tongs before slicing the bread.
Since the blade can be
disconnected from the pan, it
is not a malfunction if it comes
out in your bread.
Question 2
Why does my bread
sometimes have some flour
on the side crust?
In some cases, the flour mix
may remain on the corners of
the baking pan. When this
happens, it usually can be
eaten or simply trim off that
portion of the outer crust with
a sharp knife.
Question 3
Why isn't the dough mixing?
I can hear the motor
running.
The Kneading Blade or baking
pan may not be inserted
properly. Make sure the pan is
facing the right way and that it
has ‘clicked’ and seated into
the bottom of the breadmaker.
Question 4
How long does it take to
make bread?
Timings for each setting are
outlined earlier.
Question 5
Why can't I use the timer
when baking with fresh
milk?
The milk will spoil if left sitting
in the machine too long. Fresh
ingredients such as eggs and
milk should never be used with
the delayed timer feature.
Question 6
Why do I have to add the
ingredients in a certain
order?
This allows the breadmaker to
mix the ingredients in the most
efficient manner possible. It
also serves to keep the yeast
from combining with the liquid
before the dough is started to
mix, which is essential on the
time delay.
Question 7
When setting the timer for
morning, why does the
machine make sounds late
at night?
The machine must start
operation when the time delay
reaches the start time of the
program so that the bread will
be ready. These sounds are
made by the motor when
kneading the dough. It is a
normal operation, not a
malfunction.
Question 8
The kneading blade is stuck
in the bread pan. After
baking how do I get it out?
The kneading blade may ‘stick’
in place after baking. Running
warm or hot water over the
blade should loosen it enough
to be removed. If still stuck,
soak in hot water for about 30
minutes.
Question 9
Can I wash the baking pan
in the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and
kneading blade must be
washed by hand.
Question 10
What will happen if I leave
the finished bread in the
baking pan?
Whilst still in the breadmaker
for the first hour after baking is
complete the bread ’keeps
warm’ to prevent it becoming
‘soggy’. Leaving the bread in
the breadmaker after the keep
warm period may result in a
‘soggy’ loaf of bread as excess
steam (moisture) would not be
able to escape. Remove and
allow to cool on a wire rack
after baking to prevent this.
Question 11
Why did the dough only
partially mix? Why didn't it
mix completely?
The dough may be too heavy
or dry. Also, the kneading
blade or baking pan may not
be inserted properly.
Ingredients may have been
added in the wrong order.
Question 12
Why didn't the bread rise?
The yeast could be bad, past
it’s sell by date or possibly no
yeast was added at all. Also, if
the mixing was not complete,
rising problems could develop.
Question 13
Why can't the delayed finish
be set for more than 13
hours? What is the minimum
time a cycle may be
delayed?
The maximum length of delay
is 13 hours including the total
cycle time. For example,
Setting 1 (basic small) has a
cycle time of 3:20. This start is
delayed by a maximum of 9:40.
The minimum length of delay
for each setting is 10 minutes.
The delay clock increases and
decreases in increments of 10
minutes.
Question 14
How do I know when to add
raisins, nuts, etc. to the
bread?
There is a beeper tone to
signal that you may add
raisins, nuts, etc. during the
second kneading cycle.
Note: See ‘Baking cycle times’
chart for ‘Add nuts & raisins’
time.
In some cases, ingredients can
be broken up during the initial
kneading cycle. Each recipe
indicates the best time to add
fruit and nuts to the dough.
Question 15
How come my bread comes
out too moist? What can I
do?
Humidity may affect the dough.
Add an extra tablespoon of
flour. Also, high altitude may
have the same effect. Decrease
the amount of yeast by 1/4
teaspoon and decrease the
sugar and/or water/milk
slightly.
Question 16
Why do I get air bubbles at
the top of the bread?
This can be caused by using
too much yeast. Decrease the
yeast by 1/4 tsp.
