SOLVING
PROBLEMS
PROBLEM
Smoke is
escaping from the
ventilation slot:
The bottom crust
of the bread is too
hard and/or too
thick:
It is very difficult to
get the bread out
of the bread pan:
The ingredients
are not mixed
evenly; the bread
is baked badly:
If any problems occur during operation, you will find solutions in this
section. Further information on processing your food is given in sec-
tion "Tips for Best Results".
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Residues from the pro-
duction process evap-
orate from the heating
elements.
Some ingredients are
spilled on the heating
elements.
The ingredients in the
ingredients box have
been too wet or too finely
ground. Thus powder
or moisture has been
spilled into the heating
compartment.
The bread has been left
in the bread pan for too
long with the keep warm
function active.
The kneading paddle
sticks to the drive shaft.
Wrong program selected.
You have opened the
lid several times during
operation.
The dough is too thick.
The mechanical resis-
tance is too high, and
the kneading paddle
cannot rotate and stir
adequately.
SOLUTION
This is normal. Before first use, let the bread
maker run the Bake program (13) for 10 minutes,
while the bread pan is left empty.
See: "Before First Use".
Unplug and leave the appliance cool down. Then
clean the heating compartment and exterior
of the bread pan thoroughly. (see: "Care and
Cleaning"). Let dry naturally for approx. ½ hour
with the lid open. Strictly avoid spilling of any
food into the heating compartment.
Unplug and leave the appliance cool down. Then
clean the heating compartment and exterior
of the bread pan thoroughly. (see: "Care and
Cleaning"). Let dry naturally for approx. 30
minutes with the lid open. The ingredients box
is intended for coarsely chopped and dry ingre-
dients. Always fill wet and finely ground ingredi-
ents directly into the bread pan.
After baking an acoustic signal sounds. This is
the best moment to take the bread out of the
bread maker.
After taking the bread out, pour hot water into
the bread pan and soak for 10 minutes. Then
clean the bread pan and kneading paddle thor-
oughly. Before next use, grease the drive shaft
using some cooking oil or marge. This will help
to remove the kneading paddle after baking.
Select an appropriate program
(see: "Programs of the Bread Maker").
Avoid opening the lid during the last rising phase
and during baking (see: "Program Phases").
Add some additional liquid to your recipe.
However, ensure not to fill in more than 1000 g
Turn the kneading paddle manually. Can you
move it with only little resistance? Let the appli-
ance run a kneading process with empty bread
pan. Is the kneading paddle moving freely?
