HINTS AND TIPS
• The appliance may walk during the kneading cycle. Always position the appliance
in the center of the counter, away from the edge.
• It is recommended to use a scale to ensure a better measurement accuracy.
• It is recommended to remove bread immediately after the baking cycle is
complete to prevent its crust from becoming darker. Moreover, if the loaf is left in
the machine for too long, it may absorb moisture and become soggy.
• It is recommended to avoid opening the appliance too often, especially after the
early stages of kneading. Opening the lid during rising and baking could hinder
the loaf expansion.
• Bread making is affected by the temperature, humidity and altitude. If the
dough clings onto the fingers when touched it is too wet. If the dough appears
dry during the first kneading cycle, you may add some liquid. Add flour or liquid
1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
• Doughs prepared and baked at higher altitude tend to rise higher and faster. Try
reducing the amount of yeast by ¼ - ½ teaspoon. If the bread still rises too high,
reduce yeast by another ¼ teaspoon the next time.
• Allow cold ingredients to come to room temperature before adding them to the
Bread Pan.
• Liquids and butter may be combined and placed in a microwave on the defrost
setting to warm them without heating too hot.
• A pinch of powdered ginger or vitamin C can give a boost to the yeast and help it
grow better.
• Whole wheat and whole grain breads are usually denser and shorter than white
flour breads.
