Frequently Asked Questions
Q: There was a power failure while my breadmaker was operating;
what do I do?
A: Most of our breadmakers feature a power failure protection system –
anywhere from 7 minutes to 1 hour. This system will save your program settings
for a short time after a power outage, so if you are within that time bread making
can resume after the power returns (you may need to press the start button).
To find out what length of time your power failure protection covers, please refer
to your Use & Care Manual.
If the breadmaker loses power for more time than the power failure protection
covers and you are using any dairy products, perishables or meat in your bread,
you should discard the contents of the recipe and start again with new fresh
ingredients due to health and sanitary considerations. For nonperishable recipes
you may try starting the breadmaker at the beginning of the course again.
However, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread.
If you are not sure when the outage occurred, remove the dough ball from the
bread pan and place in an oven-safe baking container. Allow to double in size
and place in a preheated (350ºF/177ºC) oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until done.
The bread will sound hollow when tapped on top of the loaf if it is done. Again,
this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread. If the bread has already
begun to bake when the outage occurs, you must begin with new ingredients.
Q: Why does the kneading paddle stick in the bread loaf when I remove it from
the bread pan?
A: Even though the kneading paddle is nonstick, it may happen that it becomes
lodged in the loaf during baking and comes out with the loaf once it is removed.
Simply turn the loaf over on your cooling rack and use nonmetal tongs or any
nonmetal utensil to remove it from the bottom of the loaf.
Important note: Use caution, as the kneading paddle will be hot.
Q: I pressed the PAUSe button, but nothing happened. Why does my machine
not pause?
A: Some of our breadmakers require you to press and hold the PAUSE button
in order to start the pause function. Try holding the PAUSE button for about
2 seconds. This should activate the PAUSE function.
Q: Why did my quick bread tear as I removed it from the baking chamber?
A: The most common cause for a quick bread tearing is that the kneading paddle
stuck in the bottom of the quick bread as it baked. While normal breads will bring
the kneading paddle with the bread as you remove if it gets stuck, the texture of
quick breads means the loaf may tear instead.
To prevent this, simply PAUSE your breadmaker and remove the kneading paddle
prior to the beginning of the baking cycle.
