Breadman BREAD BAKER TR444 - Manual (Page 6)

Before using the Breadman ® for the first time, carefully read all
of the instructions included in this manual.
With your new Breadman ® :
• You can use commonly available pre-packaged bread mixes.
Follow the instructions on the package.
• You can bake a loaf of bread from scratch. See the
Recipe and Menu Planner included with your Breadman ®
for lots of tasty options.
• You can make dough for rolls or shaped loaves you'll bake in
your own oven.
Use the Breadman
® ’s Dough Cycle to do the mixing and
kneading for you , then shape, proof, and bake the bread
yourself in a conventional oven.
• To insert the Bread Pan into the Oven Chamber, seat it in
place and press down until it locks into place.
* Remember to attach your Kneading Paddle FIRST, then add
the ingredients.
• To remove the Bread Pan: Gently but firmly grab the
Handle and pull straight up out of the Oven Chamber.
AFTER BAKING MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS WEAR
OVEN MITTS TO AVOID BEING BURNED.
• Use oven mitts when working with bread or any part of the
Breadman ® that is hot from baking.
• Wipe off crumbs and clean as needed, after baking.
• Unplug the Breadman ® when you are not using it.
• It is normal for the viewing window to collect moisture
during the Rise Cycle. As your bread bakes, the moisture soon
will evaporate so you can watch your bread's baking progress.
• Don't open the Lid during Kneading or Baking. This causes
the bread to bake improperly.
• Don't unplug the Breadman ® during Kneading or Baking.
This will stop the operation and you will have to start all
over again, with new ingredients.

Bread Pan
Operating Tips
The bread didn’t
rise enough Did you add enough yeast, water or sweetener?
Make sure to add ingredients in the proper order: liquids,
dry ingredients, yeast. Make sure yeast doesn’t get wet
until the Breadman
® mixes the ingredients together.
Note: Typically, bread made with whole grain flours
will not rise as high as bread made with refined flours.
Make sure you are using bread flour.
The bread rose
too high Make sure not to add too much yeast, water or flour. Too
much of any of these may cause the loaf to rise more than
it should.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
(continued)
Symptom
The Bread Machine
does not bake
the bread
Possible Solutions
The Dough program was selected. To bake the bread, choose
the appropriate program for baking bread.
Bread has an
offensive odor
Baked bread is soggy
or the bread’s surface
is sticky
Check to be sure you added the correct amount of yeast.
Measure carefully — too much yeast will cause an unpleasant
odor and may cause the loaf to rise too high.
Be sure to use only fresh ingredients.
Remove the bread from the Bread Pan as soon as it is
done baking. Leaving it in the Pan allows condensation
to collect on the sides touching the Pan.
Also be sure to cool the loaf on a wire rack; cooling it on
a countertop causes the side next to the counter to
become soggy.
The Kneading
Paddle was stuck
in the bread Make sure the Kneading Paddle is mounted properly before
adding ingredients to the Bread Pan and baking.
Sometimes denser or crustier loaves of bread may pull the
Kneading Paddle out with them when you remove the loaves
after baking. When this happens, use a non-metal utensil and
gently remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf.
