Questions about
general performance
and operation
1 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.
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. When this happens, it usually
can be eaten or simply trim off that
portion of the outer crust with a
sharp knife.
3 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.
4 How long does it take to make
bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined
earlier.
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.
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 is
started to mix, which is essential on
the time delay.
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 programme 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.
8 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 hot water for
about 30 minutes.
9 Can I wash the baking pan in
the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading
blade must be washed by hand.
10 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’.
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 cooling on a wire
rack after baking to prevent this.
11 Why did the dough only partially
mix? Why didn't it mix
completely?
The 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.
