Questions about general
performance and operation
Question 1
What should I do when the kneading blade comes
out with the bread?
Remove carefully when cold 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 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.
Question 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 blades are correctly
located on the shafts and that the pan has ‘clicked
into place’ and is seated into the 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 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.
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.
Question 8
The kneading blades are 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.
Question 9
Can I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be
washed by hand.
Question 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 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?
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.
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 approx
including the total cycle time. For example, Setting 1
(basic medium 2lb) has a cycle time of 3:25. This
start is delayed by a maximum of 9:30. The minimum
length of delay for each setting is 10 minutes. The
delay clock increases and decreases in increments of
10 minutes. See page 22 for max delay-ready times.
