PROBABLE CAUSE
• Flour or other ingredients have spilled into the
baking chamber.
• Bread pan or kneading paddle may not be
installed properly.
• Too many ingredients.
• Internal temperature of breadmaker is too high.
• May occur during mixing or rising cycles.
• Thicker crust with dark crust setting.
SOLUTION
• Stop the breadmaker and allow to cool completely.
Wipe excess flour, etc., from the baking chamber
with a paper towel.
TIP: Measure ingredients over the counter, adding
them to the bread pan prior to insertion into the
machine.
• Make sure kneading paddle is set all the way on
shaft.
• Measure ingredients accurately.
• Allow unit to cool down in between cycles.
Unplug unit, open lid, and remove bread pan.
Allow to cool 15–30 minutes before beginning
new cycle.
• Condensation usually disappears during baking
cycle. Clean window well in between uses.
• It is not uncommon for the kneading paddle to
come out with the bread loaf. Once the loaf cools,
remove the paddle with a spatula.
• Choose a lighter crust (Cycles – only).
