When the Power Goes Off
If the power goes off while the machine is running through a cycle, the operation will no be affected if
the power returns within ten minutes. If the timer is being used, it will continue to operate.
If power in interrupted and returns after more than ten minutes, the cycle will stop and the "completion
Time" indication on the display panel will blink. Of the timer had been set, and it has passed the starting
time by more than 10 minutes, the panel display will blink "Completion Time" and the machine will start
the cycle.
If power is interrupted for an extended length of time, remove the dough and begin again with new
ingredients when the power resumes.
About the Lithium Battery
The Home Bakery has a built-in lithium battery which operates the clock and memory functions, even
when the machine is not plugged in. If the machine is stored unplugged, the battery will last 4 to 5 years.
The battery lasts longer if the machine is plugged into a household outlet. when the battery needs to be
replaces, the display panel will blink "8:00 a.m." Do not attempt to change the battery; send your Home
Bakery to an authorized service center to replace it.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q1. Why do the height and shape of my bread loaves differ?
A. Both the room temperature and fluctuation of household current can affect the final outcome of your
bread load. Also, measure ingredients carefully, and be sure to use fresh ingredients every time you bake.
Q2. Why didn't my bread rise completely?
A. Check to see whether the kneading rod and kneading blade were firmly attached to the baking pans if
there are missing or not installed properly, both the kneading and rising stages can be adversely affected.
Check to see whether the yeast was added. And note that you do not need to heat liquids for yeast breads;
the machine preheats liquids for you.
Q3. Why do may breads and cakes sometimes have unmixed flour on the side crust?
A. In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the corners of the baking pan, and will bake onto the
sides of the load. When this happens, simply trim off that portion of the outer curst with a sharp knife.
Q4. What should I do if I made a mistake in setting the course for baking?
A. Simply press the "Reset" button to reset the Baking Degree, course or other settings.
Q5. Why can't raisins, nuts, and other such ingredients be added with the other ingredients at the
beginning of baking breads and cakes?
A. With the mixing and kneading action of the machine, ingredients such as raisins and dried fruit tend to
become mashed and misshapen. Adding these items later in the cycle insures that they'll be evenly
distributed and will maintain their shape in the loaf or cake.
Q6. Why does smoke sometimes come from the steam vent during the cycle?
A. Flour dust and other residue inside the unit occasionally falls on the heating cild and burn onto the
coil. White not usually cause for alarm, it's best to prevent this from happening by wiping out the inside
of the machine with a damp cloth after each use.
Q7. Why does the display panel blink "Hot" when I insert the baking pan?
A. If you insert the baking pan with ingredients and program the machine immediately after a previous
recipe was baked, the machine will be too warm to start the process again . Open the lid to cook the
inside; the "Hot" signal will turn off automatically when the machine is ready to start again.
Q8. Why does the machine panel blink "Error" when I have programmed my machine to start?
A. There could be several reasons for this. If the interior temperature of the machine is too warm (from
just using the machine to bake a previous recipe), the machine will not begin until it has cooked down to
the proper temperature. If you have set the "Memory" timer or the "Timer" to finish in less that 4 hours
(or 4 hours, 40 minutes for French bread), or more than 13 hours from the present time, the machine will
show an error message. Press the "reset" key to reset to correct time.
Also, if the "Memory" key has bee pressed at another setting besides "Basic White Bread" or "French
bread," the machine will show an error message, since the memory works only on the white bread and
French bread settings.
