Questions about general
performance and operation
Question 1
How do I make doughnuts with my
Breadmaker?
How does it make the hole?
The Breadmaker only makes the dough for the
doughnuts. You must form and fry the doughnuts in a
conventional deep fryer.
Question 2
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 3
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 4
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 5
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined on page 8 and
page 24.
Question 6
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 7
If the power goes off in the middle of
processing, will my breadmaker finish baking
bread or making dough?
The control unit will keep the programmed
information, for only 1-2minutes. This is if you
accidently switch off at the mains socket. If the power
is interrupted for longer than this, the display shows
SEL when switched back on, then the unfinished bread
or dough should be discarded and the process started
from the beginning.
Question 8
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 mixed.
Question 9
When setting the timer for morning, why
does the machine make sounds late at night?
The machine must start operation several hours
before 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 10
What size loaf does the Breadmaker make?
Your Breadmaker makes small 450g (1lb) large 675g
(1
1
/
2
lb) loaves of bread.
Question 11
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 lukewarm water for about 30 minutes.
Question 12
How many watts is my Breadmaker?
670 watts during the baking cycle. Very little power
is consumed during the kneading and rising cycles.
Question 13
Can I wash the baking pan in the
dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be
washed by hand.
Question 14
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’.
It may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of bread as excess
steam (moisture) would not be able to escape. Allow
to cool on a wire rack after baking to prevent this.
Question 15
Why did the dough only partially mix?
Why didn't it mix completely?
The batter 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. (See Baking Tips Guide on page 28-29).
