Frequently asked questions
QuestionAnswer
Why do loaves sometimes vary
in height and shape?
Bread is very sensitive to factors in its environment such as room temperature, weather, humidity, altitude,
airow uctuations and use of the timer. The shape of the bread can also be affected if you use ingredients
that are not fresh or that have not been measured correctly.
How do loaves vary in shape
depending on the season?
During summer, loaves may sometimes collapse (and get a dent in the centre) or rise too high.During
winter, bread may not rise properly. You can solve this by using water that has a temperature of
68°F/20°C.
Why does our occasionally stick
to the side of the bread?
During the initial mixing process, small amounts of our may sometimes stick to the sides of the bread
pan and get baked onto the sides of the loaf. If this happens, scrape off this part of the crust.with a sharp
knife.
Why is the dough sometimes
very sticky and difcult to work
with?
Dough may sometimes by sticky (i.e. too wet) depending on the room temperature and the water
temperature. Try using colder water when you make the dough.
Why does the top of the loaf
sometimes look torn?
Sometimes the dough rises too much, which may lead to cracks in the surface of the baked bread.
Can I make bread using eggs in
the appliance?
Yes, reduce the amount of water and replace it with eggs. Put the eggs in the measuring cup rst, then add
water up to the level specied in the recipe. Do not use the timer function when you use eggs, as eggs
may go bad.
Can I use this breadmaker to
prepare recipes found in other
cookery books?
Yes. However, the recipes in this booklet have been specially created for this appliance and results may
vary when you use other recipes. If you experience problems with other recipes, please consult chapter
