Never use the Preset Timer for recipes that contain perishable
items, such as eggs, cheese, milk, cream and meats.
Never use self-raising flour to make yeasted
bread unless recipe states otherwise.
Never immerse your bread machine or bread pan in water.
If you live in a high altitude (above 900m) you will
probably need to alter your bread recipe, as the higher
the altitude the lower the air pressure, the faster the
dough will rise. Try reducing the yeast by ¼ teaspoon.
If the weather is hot and humid reduce the yeast by
¼ teaspoon to avoid over rising of the dough.
Flour properties can alter on a seasonal basis, therefore it
may be necessary to adjust the water to flour ratio. This can
be determined after ten minutes of the kneading cycle. Simply
open the lid of the bread machine and if the dough is too
sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough
reaches a firmed consistency. If the dough is too dry add more
water, 1 teaspoon at a time until a softer, more pliable dough
results. After being properly kneaded, dough with the correct
amount of water, should form into a smooth, round ball.
When hand shaping dough for rolls, weigh each
piece of dough for more evenly sized results.

Hints and Tips for Better Bread Making
Don’t use flour that contains a protein level of less that 11%, for
example, generic brands of plain flour.
Don’t use tableware cups and spoons for measuring.
Don’t use compressed yeast.
Don’t use hot water or liquids.
Don’t use metal objects to remove the kneading blade from the
bread pan or cooked loaf of bread, as this may cause damage to
non-stick coating.
Don’t operate the machine if any ingredients have spilled over or
around the element. Wipe away any spills first to prevent smoking
occurring in the baking cycle.
