F.A.Q.
Questions About General Performance
and Operation.
Question 1
What should I do when the Kneading Blade comes out with the bread?
This is normal, remove it with a pair of plastic tongs before slicing the
bread. Since the Kneading Blade disconnects from the Baking Pan for
cleaning, it is not a malfunction when 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, 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 Baking Pan is facing the right way and that it has 'clicked' and
seated into the bottom of the breadmaker.
Question 4
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined on page 21.
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 has 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 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.
Question 8
The Kneading Blade is stuck in the Baking 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 Kneading 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 can't the delayed finish be set for more than 12 hours? What is the
minimum time a cycle may be delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 12 hours including the total cycle time. For
example, Setting 1 (basic 2lb) has a cycle time of 3:00. This start is delayed
by a maximum of 9:00. The minimum length of delay for each setting is 10
minutes. The delay clock increases and decreases in increments of 10
minutes.
Question 13
How do I know when to add raisins, nuts, etc. to the bread?
There is a beeper tone to signal that you may add raisins, nuts, etc. during
the second kneading cycle.
Note: See 'Baking cycle times' chart for 'Add nuts & raisins' time. On the
48325 model with the fruit and nut dispenser, this is automatic.
In some cases, ingredients can be broken up during the initial kneading
cycle. Each recipe indicates the best time to add fruit and nuts to the
dough.
Question 14
Why does my bread come out too moist? What can I do?
Humidity may affect the dough. Add an extra tablespoon of flour. Also,
high altitude may have the same effect. Decrease the amount of yeast by
1/4 teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk slightly.
Question 15
Why do I get air bubbles at the top of the bread?
This can be caused by using too much yeast. Decrease the yeast by 1/4
tsp.
Question 16
Can I use my favourite bread recipes (traditional yeast bread) in my
bread machine?
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion of
ingredients. Become familiar with the unit and make several loaves of
bread before you begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of 5
cups dry ingredients (that includes the total amount of flour, oats, oatmeal,
bran). Use the recipes in this book to help determine the ratio of dry
ingredients to liquid and amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and
oil/butter/margarine to use.
We advise creating your own bread recipes using the basic mode, then
progress to the others, using the Baking cycle times chart as a guide.
Question 17
Is it important for ingredients to be at room temperature before adding
them to the Baking Pan?
Yes, even when the delay timer is being used. (Water must be between
21°C and 28°C).
Question 18
Why do the loaves vary in height and weight? The
wholemeal/wholewheat breads are always shorter. Am I doing
something wrong?
No, it is normal for wholewheat and wholemeal breads to be shorter and
denser than basic or French breads. Wholewheat and wholemeal flour are
heavier than white bread flour, therefore they don't rise as much during the
bread baking process. This is also true for bread containing fruit, nuts, oats
and bran.
Question 19
Can I premix the yeast with water?
No, the yeast must be kept dry and put into the Baking Pan last, above the
flour. This is especially important when the delay timer is being used.
Question 20
Why is there a large hole in the base of the bread?
This hole has been created by the Kneading Blade. Sometimes this hole is
larger than normal. This is because the dough has rested to the side of the
Kneading Blade after the second kneading cycle - normal with
breadmakers. You could position the dough evenly in the base of the
Baking Pan.
