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 is 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 program 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 bread
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 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 didn't the bread rise?
The yeast could be bad, past it's sell by
date or possibly no yeast was added at
all. Also, if the mixing was not complete,
rising problems could develop.
Question 13:
Why can't the delayed finish be set for
more than 13 hours? What is the mini-
mum time a cycle may be delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 13 hours
including the total cycle time. For exam-
ple, Setting 1(basic small) has a cycle
time of 3:20. This start is delayed by a
maximum of 9:40. The minimum length
of delay for each setting is 10 minutes.
The delay clock increases and decreases
in increments of 10 minutes.

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. during the
second kneading cycle.
