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

(11/2 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).
