Title: Reverse activates when kneading
Post by: maddy on March 08, 2010, 05:09:55 am

I have noticed the last few times when making bread, that the  :-: activates, when jug is locked and on  :: kneading bread.  Doesn't happen instantly, but after about 10-20 seconds.
Has anyone else noticed this before?
As I am standing there watching the machine in the process, I quickly de-activate the  :-: button.
I don't know why it does it, and was concerned it may cause some damage?

That's what the kneading function is - it rotates back and then forwards - automatically. Don't mess with it or it might break!  ;)

Oh.....thanks nay-nay, that was never explained to me.
I feel stupid asking, but glad I did now :D

It's ok Maddy.. I'm sure we've all wondered about the simpler things it does at times! :D

Sorry Maddy   :-[ - I didn't mean to make you feel silly. No questions are stupid - questions lead to knowledge - that goes for anything in life.  :-*

I tried to turn the reverse button off when I first noticed it on when kneading.  You're not the only one Maddy!!!  ;D

Phew!  I wondered if I was the only one  ;)

Don't worry nay-nay.....I didn't get that vibe from you  :) Glad you set me straight!  Don't know if my machine would be covered by warranty if I was the cause of breaking it  ???

From memory it goes 4 rotations forward then one reverse and then 4 forward and one reverse etc etc.

Maddy, there is so much to take in when you get your tmx that often things are missed or forgotten  :)

I haven't ever had a demo or anything as I bought my TMX from a show, but I do remember when I first saw that  :-: happening during kneading, I was worried about my machine... Then I just assumed that's the way it works.
