NEED HELP? QUESTIONS ABOUT GENERAL PERFORMANCE AND OPERATION Q12 How many watts is my Breadmaker? A12 430 watts during the baking cycle. Very little power is consumed during the kneading and rising cycles. Q13 Can I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher? Q14 What will happen if I leave the finished bread in the baking pan? Q15 Why did the dough only partially mix? Why didn't it mix completely? Q16 Why didn't the bread rise? Q17 Why can't the delayed finish be set for more than 12 hour? What is the minimum time a cycle may be delayed? A13 No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be washed by hand. A14 It may result in a "Soggy" loaf of bread as excess steam (moisture) would not be able to escape, Allow to cool on a wire rack after baking to prevent this. A15 The batter 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. (See Baking Tips Guide on page 33 and 34). A16 The yeast could be bad, expired or possibly no yeast was added at all. Also, if the mixing was no complete, rising problems could develop. Gluten free flour will also affect the amount of rising There are numerous reasons for this problem and are outlined in the Baking Tips Guide on page 33 and 34. A17 The maximum length of delay is 12 hours including the particular cycle time. For example, setting 8 has a cycle that takes 3:25 hours, so it may be delayed up to 8 l/2 hours. The delay cannot exceed 12 hours since the yeast and ingredients may not work well. The minimum length of delay for each setting is 30 minutes, as the delay clock increase in 30 minute increments. QUESTIONS ABOUT INGREDIENTS/RECIPES Q18 How do I know when to add raisins, nuts, etc. to the bread? A18 On setting 2 thru 3 and 8, there is beeper tone to signal that you may add raisins, nuts, etc. after the initial kneading cycle is complete. (NOTE: The beeper sounds after 32 minutes.) However, in most cases, the added ingredients are broken apart during the initial kneading cycle. So, if it is more convenient for you to add them at the start, results will be fine. Q19 How come my bread comes out too moist? What can I do? A19 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 l/4 teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk slightly. (See Baking Tips Guide on page 33 & 34). 31
