Q
uestion 1
What should I do if the kneading blade comes
out with the bread?
R
emove it with a pair of plastic tongs before slicing
t
he bread. Since the blade can be disconnected
from the pan, it is not a malfunction if it comes out
i
n your bread.
Q
uestion 2
W
hy does my bread sometimes have some
f
lour on the side crust?
I
n some cases, the flour mix may remain on the
c
orners of the baking pan. When this happens, it
u
sually 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
m
otor running.
The Kneading Blade or baking pan may not be
i
nserted properly. Make sure the pan is facing the
r
ight way and that it has ‘clicked’ and seated into
t
he 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
cer
tain 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.
Q
uestion 8
The kneading blade is stuck in the bread pan.
After baking how do I get it out?
T
he kneading blade may ‘stick’ in place after
b
aking. Running warm or hot water over the blade
should loosen it enough to be removed. If still stuck,
s
oak in hot water for about 30 minutes.
Q
uestion 9
C
an I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be
w
ashed by hand.
Question 10
W
hat will happen if I leave the finished bread
in the baking pan?
Whilst still in the breadmaker for the first hour after
b
aking is complete the bread ’keeps warm’ to
p
revent it becoming ‘soggy’.
L
eaving the bread in the breadmaker after the keep
w
arm period may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of bread as
e
xcess 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?
T
he 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.
