Question 14
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. after the initial kneading cycle is
complete. Note: The beeper sounds after 20 minutes.
For Normal mode see 'Baking cycle times' chart other
"Add nuts & raisins" time.
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 15
How come my bread comes 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
teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk
slightly.
Question 16
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 /
Question 17
Why does my bread rise and then collapse
or crater?
The bread may be rising too much. To reduce the
rate of rising, reduce the amount of yeast and/or
increase the amount of salt.
Question 18
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
2 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 Normal mode.

Question 19
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 for fast bake and rapide must be 30-35°C).
Question 20
Why do the loaves vary in height and
weight? The whole wheat/wholemeal breads
are always shorter. Am I doing something
wrong?
No, it is normal for Whole Wheat and Wholemeal
breads to be shorter and denser than Basic or French
breads. Whole Wheat and Wholemeal flour are heavier
than white bread flour, therefore they don't rise as
much during the bread making process. This is also
true for bread containing fruit, nuts, oats and bran.
Question 21
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
4
important when the delay timer is being used.
Question 22
Why can't I use pasta and bagels menu
together?
These menu settings are not compatible to run at
the same time because the kneading and rise times are
different. This also applies to dough and pizza.
Question 23
Why can't I combine Menu settings from
different Mode settings?
The cycle times for these menus are different and
cannot be combined.
Question 24
When I select to use one pan only (left or
right), both blades turn.
The motor drives both pans at the same time. We
advise you to remove the blade from the pan not
being used - do not put your hand in this pan when
running.
