The bread is too dry
Try using less flour or add a tablespoonful of liquid. While your breadmaker is
kneading fairly heavy dough or when you have programmed longer kneading times,
the appliance may occasionally tremble a bit. Therefore you must make sure your
breadmaker is always positioned on a stable surface, not too near to another object and
not too close to the edge of the kitchen sink unit.
The bread is flat
If you are using grinded flour or wholemeal flour, your bread tends to be somewhat
flatter. If your bread does not rise at all, you need to check the yeast. Have you thought
of adding the yeast? If the bread has only risen a little bit, the yeast you used may have
been too old. Too hot or too cold water also brakes the yeast’s activity. Please also
verify whether you have used too much salt.
Error on the display
If you see the indication “H:HH” appearing on the display after you have pressed the
start button, this means that your breadmaker has not sufficiently cooled down yet. It
is necessary to allow your appliance to cool down for another 10 to 20 minutes, with
its lid open. If the error “E:EE” appears on the display after you have pressed the start
button, your breadmaker needs to be serviced by a qualified technician. Please contact
your store.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is the height of the bread different on every occasion?
The shape and the height of the bread depend on the ambient temperature, the quality
and the quantity of the used ingredients.
Why doesn’t the bread rise?
You have forgotten to add the yeast or you have added an insufficient quantity, or the
yeast you have used is too old.
How does the time delay function work?
you must not program this function for a period of time under 3 hours or over 13
hours. The time delay function requires minimum 58 minutes to deal with all the
necessary stages of the process. you can use the program “fast”, but not with the time
delay function. Ingredients may go bad if they are kept in the breadmaker for more
than 13 hours without being baked.
Why can’t I add extra ingredients to the basic ingredients?
For the dough or the bread to have the right shape and to rise in the appropriate
manner, dried raisins and similar ingredients need to be added at a later stage.
Moreover, such ingredients may be damaged in the kneading process. They could also
get sticky or get distributed unevenly throughout the dough.
