Questions about general performance and operation
1What 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.
2Why 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.
3Why 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 ÔclickedÕ and seated into the bottom of the breadmaker.
4How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined earlier.
5Why 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.
6Why 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.
7When 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.
8The kneading blade is stuck in the bread pan. After baking how do I get it out?
The kneading blade may ÔstickÕ 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.
9Can I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be washed by hand.
10What 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 Õkeeps warmÕ to prevent it becoming ÔsoggyÕ.
Leaving the bread in the breadmaker after the keep warm period may result in a ÔsoggyÕ 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.
11Why 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.
