PROBLEM
Smoke appears from the
ventilation hole during the
baking process
Bottom crust is too thick and
chewy
Display shows H:HH after
pressing the START/STOP
button
Ingredients have not stirred
evenly and the loaf of bread
is not baked properly
Motor is making noise but
the bread is not kneading
Bread has risen over the pan
and is pushing the lid open
Bread size is too small or
bread is not rising
CAUSE (S)
During initial use special protective oils
are burning off the heating element, or
ingredients have spilled onto the heating
elements in the bottom of the chamber.
Bread was kept in the Breadmaker
too long after completion of the bread
making cycle and keep warm cycle
has elapsed.
The temperature in the Breadmaker is
too high.
Several issues can cause this to occur.
The wrong MENU cycle was used for the
type of bread you are making; during the
baking and rising cycles the lid was opened
continuously, or left open; or the ingredients
were placed in the pan in the wrong
order or in the wrong amount.
Kneading blades are not in the bread
pan. The bread pan is not properly
placed into the housing. Too much
dough has been added to the pan
Too much yeast was added to the batch,
too much flour and water was added to
the batch, or the temperature is too high.
No yeast, or not enough yeast was
added to the pan, yeast is expired, or
water temperature is too high.
SOLUTION (S)
After first use, all protective substances will have burned off the heating
elements and require no maintenance. If ingredients have spilled onto
the heating elements, unplug your Breadmaker and allow it to completely
cool. Wash the heating element off with a damp cloth (no soap) and
allow to dry thoroughly.
Do not allow bread to stay in the Breadmaker more than I hour after
completion of the bread making cycle.
The Breadmaker was not given enough time to cool down before
making a second loaf of bread. Press the START/STOP button and
unplug the unit. Open the lid and remove the bread pan and allow the
unit to cool down for at least 15 minutes before attempting to make a
second loaf of bread.
Select the proper function. Do not open the cover excessively; keep
the cover closed during the bread making process. Always add liquid
ingredients first, then dry. Ensure that you are measuring the
ingredients accurately.
Ensure the kneading blades have been properly placed onto the shaft
before adding ingredients. Ensure that the bread pan is properly locked
into place in the housing. Never exceed the recommended amount of
flour in the bread pan.
Check the recipe measurements. Always allow the machine to cool
down at least 15 minutes in between batches.
Ensure that the ingredients are measured properly and that the yeast
has not expired.
