The machine does not bake at all, I follow all instructions (from Ad. TUBE) but at the end of the cycle, it stop and the dough get back flat. HELP

It sounds like you are using the dough "PROGRAM SETTING" where you make dough and bake it in a conventional over rather than the Bread Machine. To solve your problem, "You need to select the BASIC setting on the MENU before pressing the START Button". GOOD LUCK!

I might be able to help, I have this machine and had the same problem as you. Do you use bread flour or all-purpose flour? From the owner's manual:"Canadian flours are milled from harder wheats so breads can be successfullymade from national brands of both All-Purpose Flour and Bread Flour. U.S."All-Purpose Flour" will produce poor results and should not be used with thisunit. In the U.S., it is important to use "Bread Flour" for even-textured loaves."I hope this helps!

I only use my machine to make gluten free bread for my son. I found that it works best if I mix the ingredients prior to putting them in the machine. I have also found that you have to use the correct amount of yeast for your altitude I have just played around to figure out what works beat for me. Also with your yeast add some sugar to help activate it (you would have to google how much to use as I don't measure and just eyeball it) and do not open you machine until it has finished cooking. This is what I found has worked to make the bread I make come out better.

Did you open the top while it was baking? That can prevent proper baking. Otherwise you could just have a defective machine. Try to get a replacement and then bake another loaf.

Hi,put in a teaspoon of vegetable oil, a drinking glass of warm water, 4 cups of flower (I use 2 cups bread flower, and 2 cups whole wheat flower for German type coarse bread, use 4 cups bread flower for white bread). Add one tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons dry milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of yeast. Bake 3.5 hrs.Machine should form a dry soft ball. If too liquid, add a little of flower. If machine has to labor hard, and you hear a grinding type noise, the dough is too dry and add a little warm water. Using this for > 10 years, always bakes a great loaf.

I don't know for sure. I had the same problem when I first got mine but after studying the instruction book found that I had not set the knobs properly. ( I hate readinginstructions!) If it isn't a new oven and has been working, I'd contact DeLonghi Sorry I can't be more help.

Yep - really, ANY breadmaker should allow you to stop the cycle when you want it to stop. So, just hit the stop button after the first rise, pull the dough out and form your rolls. Let them rise on the baking tray and then bake them.

I followed directions and baked on empty. Seemed to work and I've been using since as usual with no problems. Enjoy your breadmaking.

Hi Larry, it looks like you ain't got a cloue on how this thing works! Just follow instructions and take the machine off the heat after it stops gurgeling.- Everything will be alright...the General...

How sticky was your dough? Perhaps try placing your dough into a bowl of flour, and then kneading it out on your counter (or pizza peel). Also, you might want to make sure your stone is heated well enough before you transfer your dough to the stone. I would place the stone on the lowest rack of your oven, and try cook your dough at a temp of at least 450 degrees, but even higher if you can....up to 550. I had the same problem the first time, but after making a few adjustments, it now works great, and I have used it at least 10 times since without problem. Best of luck with it! You will get it.

I'm in Seattle, too. I used a smaller size transformer first couple of time. But it couldn't handle 5~6 hours of use so the bread maker stopped couple time in a short time.That result a poor finish of the bread. Then I decieded to bake a bread without the transformer. The machine made beautiful breads since then and I have no problem so far until today.I have used machine for about 4 months and it is working great...... so I think if your machine couldn't get started, there must be another issue?? This is a great bread maker, hope you can start to use it soon!!

It really does not have a dough only setting but you can let it mix, do a rise and remove it at any time then and make like a French loaf shape..I did that today. Worked! Also it beeps between settings so it alerts you to the times to either add, or remove the mixing blade before the second rise and baking...I do like it, the only thing is it is tall and for a short person hard to read the settings...

Yes, there is a cycle for bread dough, which kneads and allows dough to rise, but does not bake. You would only have to form the rolls and bake in your oven. I have not used the cycle on this machine, but did so with my old machine. The work is in the kneading, I think, so it would help.

A Zojirushi demonstrator suggested taking the dough out after second rise/before baking, giving it a quick knead (optional), and removing the blade(s) before returning the dough to the machine. There would then be only the tiny hole from the post. It does kill the "totally automatic" routine most of us want from a breadmaker, but timeline instructions in the manual should make it easy to time.

The only thing I make is cheese straws and the motor is not strong enough to push dough thru. Therefore I have never been able to use it. Sorry&#128530;...

Yes, I just recently made a no-gluten pie crust. This little machine is very powerful, and convient. Just pulse theingredients until the mixture comes together. DO NOT hold the button down, you'll burn the motor out. As soon asthe dough was sticking together I did the rest of the work by hand. Hope this helps. Don't over load it. The Best, Truthful.

Make sure everything is screwed on tightly and that your dough is not to thick to push through. I also found that sometimes I needed to let my dough warm up a bit before loading or it was to thick to go through the smaller holes.

HiTry to place the breadpan so it will fit the bottom of the basket to the rotor of the machine, having aligned the side clips. Then, push it and don't expect it will go smooth, use some "gentle" force. If is not latching perfectly, the blade will not be rotated properly by the rotor. Scott has a good advise and if is not working ... return it! I am still not happy with cycle 1 and 2, I am using it mostly for cycle 9 (dough) and bake it in the oven. Not sure how useful is my opinion, hope it will help!

My wife had this issue with a different breadmaker and it turned out to be the yeast not the machine. She had to try a few yeasts, I think it was the humidity in Florida killing the yeast or something.
