TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE TO BAKING
No. Problem
Cause
Solution
1.
Smoke coming
from the
ventilation
openings while
baking
Certain ingredients are
stuck on the bottom
heating element or have
come close to it. Upon first
use, it may be caused by
oil residues on the heating
element.
Disconnect the breadmaker
from the power grid, allow it
to cool down, and clean the
heating element.
2.
The bread
centre is
collapsing.
The bread remained in the
breadmaker in the keep
warm mode for too long.
Do not leave the bread in the
breadmaker until the very
end of the keep warm mode.
3.
It is very
difficult to
remove the
bread.
The kneading blades
A3
are
stuck in the loaf.
Move the shaft to release
the loaf from the baking

A4
. Then clean
the baking container

selection
Set the correct program.
2. You have opened the lid
A2
several times after
starting a program.
Please do not open the lid
A2
during the last rising.
3. The resistance during
mixing is too great, so
the kneading blade
A3
is
almost not turning and
not kneading sufficiently.
Check that the kneading
blades
A3
turn freely, then
take out the baking container
A4
and start the breadmaker
without load. If the appliance
does not function as usual,
please contact an authorised
service centre.
5.
The motor

a noise but the
ingredients
are not being

ingredients have the correct
weight.
6.

temperature is too low.
Check the amount and
activity of the yeast, move the
breadmaker to an appropriate
room temperature.
