Power Failure When Operating Bread Maker
Most of our Bread Makers feature a power failure protection system – anywhere from 7 minutes to 1 hour. This system will save your program settings for a short time after a power outage, so if you are within that time bread making can resume after the power returns (you may need to press the start button). To find out what length of time your power failure protection covers, please refer to your Use & Care Manual.
- If the bread maker loses power for more time than the power failure protection covers and you are using any dairy products, perishables or meat in your bread, you should discard the contents of the recipe and start again with new fresh ingredients due to health and sanitary considerations.
- For nonperishable recipes you may try starting the bread maker at the beginning of the course again. However, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread.
If you are not sure when the outage occurred, remove the dough ball from the bread pan and place in an oven-safe baking container. Allow to double in size and place in a preheated (350F/177C) oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until done. The bread will sound hollow when tapped on top of the loaf if it is done. Again, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread. If the bread has already begun to bake when the outage occurs, you must begin with new ingredients.
