Problem
The bread is too dark.
The bread is not yet
fully baked and is moist
inside.
The sides and the
bottom of the bread are
covered with too much
fl our.
The ingredients are not
mixed together properly.
The dough does not rise.
The bread has collapsed
in on itself and the
bottom is too moist.
The crust is too soft.
The dough hook "rattles".
The dough hook is stuck
in the bread after the
bread has been removed
from the baking tin.
How do I get a crispier
crust?
The bread cannot be
sliced.

Possible cause / solution
•
Too much sugar was used. Check the amount stated in
the recipe and measure it out precisely.
•
The wrong level of browning was selected. Next time
select a lighter level of browning using the KRUSTE
(breadcrust) button.
•
Too many additional ingredients (nuts, dried fruits, hon-
ey etc.) were used. Check the amounts stated in the rec-
ipe and measure out precisely.
•
Either too much fl our or too little liquid was used. Check
the amounts stated in the recipe and measure out
precisely.
•
The dough hook is not inserted correctly. The dough
hook needs to be inserted before ingredients are added
to the baking tin.
•
Was the baking process interrupted (power outage,
accidental pressing of the START-PAUSE / STOPP
button)? If the baking process is interrupted for too
long, the end result is generally unsatisfactory and
cannot be corrected.
•
Was Programme 15: Kneading selected? The dough
is only kneaded here. No heat is added for proving.
•
The bread was left in the bread maker for too long after
the end of the baking programme. When the baking
programme comes to an end, the bread should be
removed from the bread maker as soon as possible.
•
The bread was left in the bread maker for too long
after the end of the baking programme. The steam has
softened the crust.
•
Is the dough hook inserted correctly? Make sure that
the dough hook is fi tted securely in the baking tin.
•
The bread is very compact. Allow the bread to cool
down completely and then remove the dough hook
using the dough hook remover. Tip: Some types of fl our
absorb more water than others. Next time use a little
more liquid to break up the dough.
•
Select Programme 2: French Bread or the Dark
option when you select the crust.
•
The bread is still too warm. Always allow the bread to
cool before slicing it.
