Frequently asked questions

PROBLEM
The motor did not run
when I pressed START
The machine beeped part
way through the process.
I tried to make another loaf
straight after the first but
the process wouldn't start.
What does the 'keep warm'
sign mean when the loaf is
finished?
What if the power
interrupted accidentally
during the process?
PROBLEMS? Sunken loaves.
Typically, what happens is the dough will rise very well then sinks just as the baking
process starts. Most of the time, this is because the dough was not strong enough.
Whilst the yeast is still producing gas, a weak dough will maintain a good shape but
once the yeast is killed by the baking process, the loaf can sink under it's own weight.
1.
The mixture is too wet causing weak dough.
a.
Too much water/not enough flour. This will make the dough sloppy. The
dough should be soft but firm.
b.
Use the recommended brands of flour and yeast at first. Other brands may
need some adjustment to the ingredients. Some types of flour absorb less
water than those recommended. In this case add an extra 50g of flour to
make the dough thicker.
c.
You're not using ordinary plain flour are you? It MUST say 'for bread making'
on the packet.

ensures all the ingredients are at the right temperature before the process
starts.
This is the signal to add other ingredients like fruit or nuts. Some of the
recipes call for extra ingredients. Refer to the appropriate recipe for more
information.
The machine must be allowed to cool thoroughly before another loaf can
be made. The machine will show the word H:HH on the display panel until
it has cooled properly.
The Keep Warm function prevents condensation from forming on the loaf
after the bake cycle has finished. You can remove the loaf during the
Keep Warm period then press START/RESET button to reset the machine.
is The machine will resume from where it left off as long as the power is
restored within 30 minutes. After this, it is likely that the ingredients will
have spoiled anyway.
