Cleaning And Care; Typical Problems And Questions - SEVERIN 160 Mode D'emploi

This programme is used for biscuits, pastry or bread using baking powder. For best
results, always put liquids into the baking-tin first, followed by solid ingredients. At the
beginning of the programme operation, it is possible that the dough or the dry
ingredients collect in the corners of the baking-tin. Should this occur, use a spatula to
move such ingredients out of the corners.
- Short Programme 750g and 900g:
These programmes are suitable for baking bread in a shorter period of time. With a
shortened rising phase, the loaves will turn out slightly smaller and firmer than usual.
Please keep in mind that warm water must be used. Best results are generally achieved
with a water temperature of around 48-50°C. We recommend using a suitable food
thermometer. With the temperature too low, the bread may not rise sufficiently strongly;
too low a temperature will cause the yeast contained in the dough to rise too early, again
leading to an unsatisfactory baking result.

CLEANING AND CARE

●
Caution: before cleaning the appliance, ensure that the plug has been removed from the
wall socket, and that the appliance has cooled down. Never immerse the bread-maker in
water.
- Turn the baking-tin anti-clockwise, lift it out and remove the kneading hook.
The baking-tin and the kneading hook may be cleaned using hot water and a mild
detergent. Do not use any rough material for cleaning. If you are unable to separate the
kneading hook from the baking tin using normal force, let it soak in lukewarm water for
approximately 30 minutes. Do not use excessive force to remove the hook.
●
To prevent damage to the drive-shaft seal, the baking-tin should not be left soaking for
any extended period of time. Do not clean the baking-tin in a dish-washer.
- The inside of the lid may be cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. The interior of the
appliance must only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
●
Do not use cleaning agents specifically designed for ovens, and do not use any abrasives
or harsh cleaning solutions, vinegar or bleaching agents for cleaning.
●
Before storing the appliance, always ensure that it has cooled down and that it is
completely dry.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS AND QUESTIONS

1. The bread has a strong smell.
Check whether the correct amount of yeast was used. Too much yeast causes an
unpleasant smell and makes the loaf rise too much. Always use fresh ingredients.
2. The baked bread is wet and has a sticky surface.
Remove the bread from the appliance immediately after baking, and place it onto a wire
rack, allowing it to cool down.
3. Pressing the Start button fails to activate the selected programme.
Make sure that the unit is properly connected to the mains supply.
Should the appliance still be too hot after a previous work cycle, an automatic safety
switch prevents the appliance from resuming operation. In that case, the LED-display
shows the letters HHH, and a continuous acoustic signal is heard. Press the
for 3 seconds, and remove the baking-tin with the ingredients from the unit. Allow the
bread-maker to cool down for about 20 minutes with the lid open before you attempt to
start the programme again.
