Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bread machine, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Bread Does Not Rise: Check yeast freshness and quantity. Ensure water temperature is correct (not too hot or cold). Verify that the correct program was selected.
• Bread is Too Dense/Heavy: This can be due to too much flour, too little liquid, or insufficient kneading. Ensure accurate ingredient measurements.
• Bread is Too Sticky/Wet: Too much liquid or not enough flour. Adjust ingredient ratios slightly.
• Kneading Paddle Stuck in Bread: This is common. Allow the bread to cool slightly, then carefully remove the paddle. A small hook tool is often provided for this purpose.
• Machine Not Starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the bread pan is properly seated and locked into place.
• Unusual Noise: A certain amount of noise during kneading is normal. If the noise is excessive or unusual, ensure the bread pan is correctly installed and there are no foreign objects inside.
