Questions About The
Breadmaker :
Q1:
What do I do if the mixing paddle stays
in the loaf? Is this normal? How do I
remove the paddle?
The mixing paddle may stay in the loaf when the bread is
removed from the bread pan. This happens because the
crust forms around the paddle during the baking
process.
Allow the loaf to cool before removing the mixing paddle
(the inside of the loaf is VERY HOT- you may burn
yourself if you try to remove the paddle too soon.) When
the loaf has cooled, use a plastic spoon or rubber spatula
to remove the paddle. Gently insert the spoon/spatula
into the bottom of the loaf and loosen the crust from the
paddle. Pull the paddle out. DO NOT use a sharp object
(knife, metal utensil) as it will scratch the non-stick
coating on the mixing paddle.
Q2:
What do I do if the mixing paddle is hard to
remove from the baking Pan after baking?
Remove the Baking Pan from the unit and fill with hot water
allowing it to soak for 30 minutes to an hour.Next, pour out
the water, turn the Pan over and wiggle the Paddle loose
while holding the winged coupling on the bottom of the Pan.
Using a toothpick or soft kitchen brush clean out any dough
left in the hole of the Paddle.
Q3:
Is there any time that I should not
use
the delayed start feature?
Yes, when the recipe calls for perishable ingredients such
as milk, cheese, buttermilk, or eggs. These foods should
not stay at room temperature for an extended period of
time. With some recipes, you may substitute powdered
milk.
Q4:
Can I open the lid while the breadmaker is
operating?
This breadmaker is designed with a window in the lid to
let you watch your breads progress. Quick checks are
fine in the early stages of operation and of course to add
ingredients when the beeper sounds. However, dont
open the lid too frequently during operation as the
change in air temperature may cause the loaf to fall.
Avoid opening the lid once the baking period beginsthe
last hour of the cycle. Sometimes condensation forms on
the window after initial mixing and kneading. It usually
disappears once the baking cycle starts so you should be
able to get a clear view of your rising loaf.
Q5:
Where is the OFF button?
Since the breadmaker shuts off its processing
automatically once the bread or dough cycle is complete
and the Keeps Warmcycle ends, there is no OFF button.
However, the power light will remain on until the unit is
unplugged or the Start/Reset button is pressed and held.
Q6:
If the power goes out while I’m in the
middle of a breadmaking cycle, will my
Breadmaker continue to process my bread
once the power comes back on?
The breadmaker will only finish making bread if the
power returns within 20 seconds. Unfortunately, if your
power outage is longer, you will have to discard the
unfinished bread and start the process from the
beginning.
Q7:
When do I add raisins, nuts, etc. to the
bread?
This breadmaker has an Add-Ingredientfunction that
signals with an audible tone to let you know when you
may add raisins, nuts, caraway seeds, etc. (
NOTE:
The
time of the tone varies from one setting to another.
Consult the Add-Ingredientchart on page 10.) The
Add-Ingredientfeature helps reduce the breaking up of
added foods . If you are using the Timer and it is more
convenient, you may add ingredients at the start.
Q8:
May I use a sugar substitute in place of
sugar?
Sugar is necessary for the yeast to produce a light loaf
with a good height. Results may vary with the type and
amount of sugar substitute used. If you are going to use
an artificial sweetener choose one that is aspartame
based rather than saccharin based.
Q9:
May I omit the salt or sugar from the
recipe?
No, both the sugar and salt play an important role in the
bread making process. Salt prevents the yeast from
over-reacting and the bread from over-rising. The
combination of sugar, salt, and yeast is a very important
part of the bread making process. Remember that the
total sugar and salt amounts are divided among all the
slices, so the amount of sugar and salt per serving is
small.
