Too much liquid from fresh or canned fruit.
Always drain liquids well as specified in the recipe. Water may
have to be reduced slightly.
Large amounts of rich ingredients like nuts,
butter, dried fruits, syrups and grains will make
dough heavy. This will slow down the rising and
prevent the bread from baking through.
Measure ingredients accurately. Never exceed the amounts in
the recipe.

Difficult to remove from the Baking Pan (6)
The bread is sticking to the pan.
The surface of the pan needs to be oiled before everyday use.
Wash the pan in hot soapy water and thoroughly dry. Liberally
coat the inner surface of the pan with oil, butter or margarine.
Follow the guide on page 5, ‘Using your Breadmaker’. When
the bread pan is removed from the machine after the baking
programme allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes
before turning out onto a rack. Only slice the bread when fully
cooled after 20-40 minutes.
