Cleaning And Care - SEVERIN BM 3983 Mode D'emploi

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. Do not immerse the bread-maker in
water.
- Remove the baking-tin from the appliance, and take out the dough hook. The baking-tin
and the dough 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 dough 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 should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
●
Do not use cleaning agents specifically designed for baking 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
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
2 seconds, and remove the baking-tin with the ingredients from the unit. Allow the
bread-maker to cool down for approximately 20 minutes with the lid open before you
attempt to start the programme again.
4. The loaf has risen too high.
Reduce the amount or quantity of yeast, water or flour used.
5. The loaf has not risen high enough.
Increase the amount of yeast, water or sweeteners. Ensure that the correct order is used
when putting the ingredients into the baking-tin: first the liquid ingredients followed by
the solid ingredients, finally the yeast. Note: bread made of rye or wholemeal flour tends
to rise less than bread made of wheat
6. After the baking phase has started, the dough collapses inwards.
The dough is too light. Slightly reduce the quantity of liquids or the amount of yeast, or
use a programme with a shorter rising phase. You may also try increasing the amount of
salt.
