Problem
Cause and solution
The kneading blade rattles.
This is because the blade fits loosely on the shaft. (This is not a fault)
I can smell burning while the
bread is baking.
Smoke is coming out of the
steam vent.
Ingredients may have spilled on the heating element.
Sometimes a little flour, raisins or other ingredients may be flicked out of the bread pan
during mixing. Simply wipe the element gently after baking once the breadmaker has cooled
down.
Remove the bread pan from the breadmaker to insert ingredients.
The kneading blade stays in the
bread when I remove it from the
bread pan.
The dough is a little stiff.
Allow the bread to cool completely before removing the blade carefully.
Some types of flour absorb more water than others, so try adding an extra 10–20 mL of
water next time.
Crust has built up underneath the blade.
Wash the blade and its spindle after each use.
The crust creases and goes soft
after cooling.
The steam remaining in the bread after cooking can pass into the crust and soften it slightly.
To reduce the amount of steam, try using 10–20 mL less water or half the amount of sugar.
How can I keep my crust crispy?
To make your bread crispier, you could use the menu 5, 6 or the ‘Dark’ crust color option, or
even bake it in the oven at 200°C (392°F)/gas mark 6 for an extra 5–10 minutes.
My bread is sticky and slices
unevenly.
It was too hot when you sliced it.
Allow your bread to cool on rack before slicing to release the steam.
U50 appears on the display.
The unit is hot (above 40°C/105°F). This may occur with repeated use.
Allow the unit to cool down to below 40°C/105°F before using it again (U50 will disappear).
appears on the display.
There has been a power failure for approx. 10 minutes (the plug has been accidentally pulled
out, or the breaker has been activated), or there is another problem with the power supply.
The operation will not be affected if the problem with the power supply is only momentary.
The breadmaker will operate again if its power is restored within 10 minutes, but the end
result may be affected.
'1'(menu section) appears on
the display.
There has been a power failure for a certain amount of time (differs depending on the
circumstances - e.g. mains power failure, unplugging, malfunctioning fuse or breaker).
Remove the dough and start again using new ingredients.
When program is completed, the
raisin/nut dispenser is opened.
The dispenser will open automatically for all programs. This is not malfunction.
When ingredients such as raisins and nuts are inserted in the dispenser on the bake only
program, ingredients will be dropped on to the cake only half side of it.
H01/H02 appears on the display.
The display indicates a problem with the breadmaker.
Please see ‘Contact Information’ P. EN31.
The bread does not come out.
If the bread cannot be easily removed from the bread pan, leave the bread pan for
5–10 minutes to cool, making sure that it is not left unattended where somebody or something
may get burnt.
After that, shake the bread pan several times using oven gloves.
(Hold the handle down so that it does not get in the way of bread.)
Dry yeast does not drop into the
bread pan.
The timing of yeast dispenser activation is different depending on the menu program and room
temperature.
Yeast dispenser is wet, or there may be a static build up.
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry naturally.
Dry yeast is damped.
Use new dry yeast.
Problem
Cause and solution
Extra ingredients does not fall
into the bread pan from the
raisin/nut dispenser.
Is the surface of the extra ingredients higher than the edge of the raisin/nut dispenser?
Put the extra ingredients so that its surface is lower than the edge of the raisin/nut dispenser.
(P. EN15)
The capacity of the raisin/nut dispenser is 150
g
, however depending on the state and the
type of ingredients, they may overflow.
