FAQs
Can I bake gluten-free bread in this machine?
Yes, you can use the custom settings or the standard bread settings to bake gluten-free recipes, provided the ingredient ratios are correct.
How large is the biggest loaf I can bake?
The bread maker is designed to handle loaves up to 2lbs.
Does it have a power failure backup?
Many models feature a short-term memory backup; check your specific manual for duration details in the event of a power flicker.
Can I open the lid while it is baking?
While you can open the lid to check progress, try to avoid doing so during the rise phase to maintain the internal temperature.
How do I make yoghurt?
Use the dedicated yoghurt setting and follow the recipe guidelines for temperature and ingredient fermentation provided in your manual.
Troubleshooting
Bread has a sunken top
This often occurs if too much yeast or water was used, or if the flour was not weighed accurately. Try reducing the yeast slightly or using less water.
Loaf did not rise
Check that the yeast is fresh and not expired. Ensure the yeast did not come into direct contact with the salt or liquids before the cycle started.
Kneading paddle stuck in the loaf
After the bread has cooled slightly, use a small heat-resistant hook or spatula to gently remove the paddle from the bottom of the loaf.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, wipe the interior chamber and the non-stick bread pan with a damp cloth to remove any manufacturing residue. Ensure the kneading paddle is securely seated on the shaft before adding ingredients. For optimal results, always add liquids first, followed by dry ingredients, and finally the yeast.
Care instructions include:
- Pan Maintenance: Always hand wash the non-stick pan and kneading paddle with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to preserve the coating; avoid metal utensils which can scratch the surface.
- Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior casing. Never submerge the main housing in water.
- Storage: Store in a dry, cool area, ensuring the lid remains closed to prevent dust accumulation inside the baking chamber.
