Problem Cause Solution
The bread
maker labors
during the
kneading cycle
or dough does
not come
together into
a ball after
kneading Dough is too dry due to:
a) Ingredients not measured correctly
a) Use measuring cups and spoons to measure dry ingredients
and measuring cups specifically designed for measuring
liquid ingredients. Do not sift or pack ingredients
b) Insufficient water b) Add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, up to 4
additional tablespoons
c) Hard water c) Use bottled water
d) Recipe includes eggs which were
smaller than a 1/4 cup of liquid d) Break egg into measuring cup; if less than 1/4 cup, add water
or milk to make up the difference
Crust is too dark
or too hard a) Crust setting was set too dark a) Set bread maker on lighter crust setting
b) Recipe has a lot of sugar or sweetener b) Bake sweet breads on the light setting
Crust is pale
and / or wet a) Crust setting is set too light a) Set bread maker on a darker crust setting
b) Recipe has little or no sugar or fat b) Add a small amount of sugar and / or fat to the recipe
Gummy areas
in baked loaf Butter or oil, as well as otheringredients
like cheese and fruit didnot blend well
with other ingredients Too much fat or additional ingredients like cheese or fruit were
added to the dough or were added too late; butter was cold
and never blended in completely; only use room temperature
ingredients; do not exceed amount of additional ingredients
specified in the recipe.
Bread is stuck
in the loaf pan The bread has remained in the loaf pan
too long Removing the bread from the bread pan immediately after it
has baked will allow for the easiest removal
The paddles
get stuck in
the bread Because the paddles are baked into the
bread, they will become part of the
finished result a) Lightly oil the kneading paddles before adding the ingredients
in the bread pan.
b) Use the hook accessory to remove the paddles while the
bread is still hot. Lay the bread on its side (using oven mitts)
and insert the hook in the hole of the kneading paddle and
pull gently to release the kneading paddles.
c) You can also remove the paddles from the bread maker
before the baking cycle. See the “Cycle Chart”on page 9.
Slight smoke or
odor coming
from the bread
maker a) As with all small appliances, it is normal
for some slight smoke or odor to come
from the product the first time it is used.
a) If it is not the first time you used the bread maker, check if
debris has dripped on or near the heating elements.
b) You have not removed all of the
packaging parts from the breadmaker.
b) Be sure that you have removed all packaging materials from
inside the bread maker.
c) Neither of the above causes are
present.
c) If there is no debris and this is still continuing, discontinue
use and contact our Consumer Services Department at
1-800-395-8325.
Machine stops
after kneading Check to make sure you are using the
correct program. Programs such as 8 (Bread dough) will only knead and 12
(loaf cooking) will knead and rise.
Neither of these programs will bake.
