Question 1
What should I do if the Kneading Blade (7)
comes out with the bread?
Remove it with the Kneading Blade Remover (18) before
slicing the bread. Since the Kneading Blade (7) can be
disconnected from the Baking Pan (6), 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 (6). 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 (7) or Baking Pan (6) may not be inserted
properly. Make sure the pan is facing the right way and that it
has seated correctly into the bottom of the Breadmaker.
Question 4
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined on page 21.
Question 5
Why can't I use the timer when baking with fresh
milk?
The milk will spoil if left sitting in the Breadmaker too long.
Fresh ingredients such as eggs and milk should never be
used with the delay 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 has started
to mix, which is essential on the time delay.
Question 7
When setting the timer for morning, why does
the Breadmaker make sounds late at night?
The Breadmaker must start operation when the delay timer
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 (7) is stuck in the Baking
Pan (6). After baking how do I get it out?
The Kneading Blade (7) 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 20 minutes.
Question 9
Can I wash the Baking Pan (6) in the
dishwasher?
No. The Baking Pan (6) and Kneading Blade (7) must be
washed by hand. Do not use scouring pads during cleaning.
Question 10
What will happen if I leave the finished bread in
the Baking Pan (6)?
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?
The dough may be too heavy or dry. Also, the Kneading Blade
(7) or Baking Pan (6) 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, Program 1 (basic small) has a cycle
time of 2:53. This start is delayed by a maximum of 10:07. The
minimum length of delay for each program 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.
Question 17
Why does my bread rise and then collapse or
crater?
The bread may be rising too much. To reduce the rate of
rising, reduce the amount of yeast and/or increase the
amount of salt.
