Question: I can not get the bread out of the breadpan, what can I do?
Answer:
This can be caused by two problems. The non-stickcoating of your breadpan is worn out or the bread has not yet
cooled down. If the non-stickcoating is worn out, we advise you to buy a new breadpan. To find out what the exact
problem is, we advise the following: as soon as the breadmaker has finished, take out the breadpan with the bread and
let it cool down for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the breadpan upside down and slowly shake out the bread. Leave the bread
to cool for another 15 minutes on a wire rack before you cut it.
Question: There is a margin on the kneadingblade. What causes this and how can I prevent this?
Answer:
The non-stickcoating at the inside on the kneading blade is thick, soft and not completely hardened. The final
hardening happens at first operation of the machine. Because of the pressure, which is being put on the kneadingblade
during kneading, the non-stickcoating will become thinner and harder, which causes more space to become between
the kneadingblade and the driveshaft in thebreadpan. This process will happen in the first few weeks of operation. This
is fully normal.
Question: The kneadingblade remains in the bread after removing the bread out of the breadpan.Is this normal?
Answer:
It is perfectly normal that the kneadingblade sticks in the bread. If this would not be the case, there would be a large
hole in the bread after removing it out of the breadpan. Now the bread will first cool down and therefore become more
solid, before the kneadingblade is removed. The hole in the bread will in this case be much smaller. During the first few
operations, it could happen that the kneadingblade remains in the breadpan, this is because of the question above.
Question: How can I clean the inside of the breadmaker when the dough has run over?
Answer:
You can clean the inside of the breadmaker with a ovencleaner. Make sure that you protect the heating element. You
can clean the heating element by letting the breadmaker, without content, finish a complete program, once or twice.
The heating element will burn clean.
Question: Because of a diet I am not allowed to eat bread with sugar. Is it possible to make a sugarfree bread in this machine?
Answer:
Yes, this is possible. You can leave out the sugar from the basic-recipe. When doing this, you should leave out the salt
from the recipe also.
Question: My bread collapses, when changing from rising to baking. What is the problem?
Answer:
This could be caused by two problems. Either you have used too much yeast or too much water. In most cases the
problem is caused by too much water. The recipes in the instruction manual are basic-recipes. It could happen for
example that the flour needs less water then stated. We advise you to use 10 to 20 ml. less water. The problem should
now be solved.
Question: When I bake a bread with raisins, all the raisins are at the bottom. What can I do to solve this?
Answer:
The dough is probably to compact and cannot divide the raisins properly. Add 10 to 20 ml of water to the basic-recipe,
causing the dough to be more flexible and the raisins to divide better amongst the dough. Please make sure that the
raisins themselves are not too wet.
Question: The crust is sometimes light and sometimes dark?
Answer:
You can set this yourself with the button "crust" (= kleur). For a light crust set the breadmaker on light (L), for a dark
crust set the breadmaker on dark (D).
Question: What has happened when the bread is so high that is touches the lid?
Answer:
You have used too much yeast and/or sugar, which causes more gas inside the bread and too much rising.
Question: Why is not allowed to make bread with fruit with the program "fast-superfast"?
Answer:
The time for rising is less with this program and when you use more ingredients, it influences the bakingtime which
causes a bad result if you use such a program with these ingredients, like fruit.
Question: The breadmaker is kneading slower when making a heavy bread?
Answer:
This is normal when you use these recipes. It does not cause a problem for the machine, but it is advisable to add one
tablespoon of fluids.
Before you take the bread away for repairs
You keep getting bad results .
We advise to make one bread with a ready-made breadmix. You only have to add water and butter. When you get a good result, it
means that your breadmaker has no problem and you should check the freshness of the ingredients. If you get a bad result you
can consult with your supplier.
Attention: when you use a ready-made mixture, you must take in account the amount of the mixture. Most ready-made mixtures
are for making a loaf of 800 grams.
