Q May I open the lid during operation?
A
You may observe the initial processes up to and
during kneading. However, it is not recommended to
open the lid during the rising and baking processes,
because the heat, necessary to build up within the
unit, may escape.
Q The top of the bread is very uneven. Why?
A
At the gas releasing process, the kneading blade
turned the dough upside down, leaving an uneven
surface on the top. This happens by chance, and it
is not due to the malfunctioning of the unit.
OR You may have placed a little too much water or
yeast, or may have measured them incorrectly.
Q May I use home-ground or home-milled flour?
A
No. Home ground or home milled flour is too coarse
for breads baked in the
.
Q Why is it necessary to place the yeast in the pan first?
A
We suggest the yeast is placed first followed by the dry
ingredients and lastly liquid to prevent the yeast from
hydrating quickly, especially when the timer is used.
This produces a more consistent result.
Q The blade does not come off from the pan after
baking, what should I do?
A
Fill
1
/
4
of bread pan with warm water. Leave aside for
about 5Ð10 minutes, then try to remove the blade again.
Q Are the parts of the unit dishwasher-safe?
A
No. Follow instructions on P.12 Ò To cleanÓ.
Q My wholemeal bread isn
,
t as good as I expected,
what can I do?
A
You can add 1 T of gluten flour or alter water slightly
-this may help.
