11.Raw Dough

Tips:

• Ingredients marked with "▲" can be selected as needed. If 50g more flour is needed when adding eggs, otherwise the dough is too thin and unsuccessful.
• Different flour brands have different water absorption; adjust proportions accordingly. Reference ratio: water is 50% to 70% of flour. If the dough is too thin or dry, refer to the manual "proportion of water and flour" for adjustment.
• When stirring noodles, the motor may overheat and stop working if the dough is dry or the load is large. Press the stop key to stop the motor. Use the air duct to blow cold air into the cooling holes or open the cover for cooling for 40 to 60 minutes before restarting.

This function is mainly used for frying nuts such as peanuts, soybeans, and almonds. Set the appropriate time according to the number of dried fruits.

19. Ferment

This unique design feature is only applicable to functional fermentation.

Precautions on Bread Recipe

Flour:

Not all flours can make perfect bread. If bread flour is unavailable, replace it with "Gluten Flour" or "Dumpling (Noodle) Flour".

Yeast Powder:

Do not replace Yeast Powder with Soda Powder. Expired or inactive yeast powder will affect the bread's texture and appearance.

To test yeast activation: Take a half-cup of warm water (40-50°C), add a small spoon of sugar and stir. Add two small spoons of yeast powder to the surface of the water and store in a warm place. After 10 minutes, the mixture should rise to a full cup. Otherwise, purchase new yeast powder.

If the bread is cracked or fermentation is poor, adjust the baking powder amount (add 1/4, 1/2, or 1 teaspoon more). Baking powder brands and batches can affect fermentation results.

Mixture Ratio of Water and Flour:

Different flours have different water absorption. Adjust water amount accordingly.

Dough Consistency:

• Too Much Water: Dough is soft and sticky. Bread may be hard with a flat or rough surface and large pores. The good bread should be half-rounded. If the dough remains damp and sticky after 5 minutes, add 1-2 big spoons of flour and knead until the water content is appropriate.
• Lacking Water: After 5 minutes of mixing, dry flour may be left at the bottom, and the dough won't form a round shape. The dough will have a flat or rough surface with no elasticity, resulting in tough bread with dense pores. If the dough is dry after 5 minutes, add a big spoon of water and knead until the water content is appropriate.

Other Recipes:

Sugar and eggs add color to bread. Add them as recommended by the Recipe Book. Excessive amounts can cause heavy browning or burning. If adding eggs, use only one beaten egg in a measuring cup with water to the specified level to avoid thinning the mixture.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Keep Surface Clean:

• Unplug the unit before cleaning.
• Apply a small amount of neutral cleaning solution to a soft cloth, wipe the unit, and dry thoroughly with another dry cloth. Do not use gas oil, abrasive cleansers, or corrosive liquids.

Keep Accessories Clean:

• After each use, clean all accessories to avoid dirt accumulation.
• If the Stirring Rod is stuck, pour water into the barrel to steep, then remove the rod.
• If the unit is not used for a long time, clean all accessories, allow them to cool, and store them in the barrel.

Environment for Use:

• Appropriate temperature for use: -10℃ to 40℃.
• Air relative humidity: lower than 95%, temperature at 25°C.
• Appropriate temperature for storage: -40℃ to 60℃.
• No inflammable gas, corrosive gas, or conducting dust in the air.
