• Different temperatures may have influence on the baking result.

Smoke is coming out of the ventilations slots on the upper part of the housing lid during baking.| If the quantity is too big, the dough can overflow and burn-in on the baking pan or at the heating element!|

• Pull the power plug.
• Open the housing lid and let the appliance cool down for 15 – 20 minutes.
• Clean the baking pan and the heating element.

The bottom crust of the bread is too thick.| You have kept the bread warm in the baking pan too long, thus it has lost too much moisture.|

• Take the bread out without using the keep-warm function.

It is very difficult to remove the kneader.| The kneader sticks firmly on the shaft of the motor drive and cannot be removed.|

• Fill the pan with lukewarm water and let it soak together with the kneader.

Tip: Apply a drop of oil to the shaft before placing the kneader in the baking pan.

The ingredients are not stirred evenly and do bake badly.| 1. The selected programme menu is not suitable.

2. After operation you have opened the lid several times and the bread is dry, without brown crust colour.

3. The stirring resistance is too large so that the kneader almost can’t rotate and therefore can’t stir adequately.

|

• Select the suitable programme.
• Do not open the lid after the dough has risen for the last time.
• Take the dough off the baking pan and let the appliance run without load; if the kneader does not rotate properly, please contact your customer service.

You can hear the motor noise, but the dough is not stirred.| The baking pan has not been fixed properly or the kneader has not been inserted.

Maybe the quantity of dough is too big to be stirred.

|

1. No yeast added.
2.  Quantity of yeast is too small.
3. Water temperature is too high for the activation of the yeast process.
4. Yeast has been mixed with salt.
5.  Rising time too short.

|

---|---|---
There is too much dough so that it spills over the baking pan.|

1. The amount of liquid is too large.
2. The proportion of yeast is too big.

|

• Reduce the amount of liquid and improve the stability of dough.

The bread collapses in the middle during baking.|

1. The used flour is not suitable for baking bread.
2. The yeast gets in contact with the liquid too early.
3.  Excessive liquid makes the dough too wet and soft.

The bread is very heavy and the bread structure is too dense.|

1. Too much flour or too little water.
2. Too many fruit ingredients or too much wholegrain flour.
3. Too little yeast used.

• Adjust quantity of ingredients accordingly.
• Check the water temperature.

Dry powder is sticking on the surface of the bread.|

1. There are strongly glutinous ingredients in the bread such as butter.
2. The dough has not been stirred sufficiently because of lacking water.

• Do not add strongly glutinous ingredients to the bread.
• Check the proportion of water and the mechanical construction of the bread maker.

Interesting facts about flour
In Germany, it is common to determine the type of flour according to a specific type number. The type number indicates the proportion of minerals (shell parts of the grain) in mg per 100 g of flour, which means that the common all-purpose flour – German type 405 – has very little mineral nutrients / shell components, whilst type 1700 has very much of them. Besides to the traditional bread with wheat flour Type 405, also the combination of different types of flour, e.g. wheat flour type 505 with flour type 1050 and rye flour Type 1150 (plus yeast, plus spices) is very popular.
Wheat flour

• Type 405: Whitest flour. Best bonding properties. Perfect for fine cakes and fine pastries.
• Type 550: Somewhat darker. Used for buns and white bread.
• Type 812: Even darker. Ideal flour for white and dark mixed breads.
• Type 1050: Dark flour with a strong original taste. Lots of dietary fibres. Bread flour for whole grain pastries/whole grain bread.
• Type 1700: bruised gain of wheat, dark, strong. For whole grain bread.

Recipes

With the following recipes we would like to give you some ideas and suggestions. Of course, you can also revert to the suggestions in commercial cookbooks or to the recommendations of the manufacturer of bread mixes or create your own recipes. The ingredients are each intended for 700 g or 900 g – but you can also adapt the quantities and the composition to your own needs and personal taste. However, please observe the mixing ratio between dry and wet ingredients. Have fun and enjoy your homemade baked goods!

Notes:

• Let the bread rest for 1 h before slicing.
• Please observe the instructions and the sequence as stated on page 29 when filling the baking pan.
• In case the water temperature is quite high (about 35 °C), the yeast might already start rising during the kneading process. This may form a big air bubble inside the bread. During baking, this bubble could collapse and form an unaesthetic crater on top. Therefore, we recommend using water with room temperature or lukewarm water (20 ° C – 25 ° C).
• If you use the pause function (button for start/pause/stop) during preparation, you can use a silicone spatula in order to take off flour nests or pieces of dough sticking at the edges of the baking pan and add them to the dough.
