I can smell burning while the
bread is baking.
Smoke is coming out of the
steam vent.
Ingredients may have been spilt on the heating element.
Sometimes a little flour, raisins or other ingredients may be flicked out of the bread pan
during mixing. Simply wipe the heating element gently after baking once the Bread Maker
has cooled down.
Remove the bread pan from the Bread Maker to place ingredients.
The kneading blade stays in
the bread when I remove it
from the bread pan.
The dough is a little stiff.
Allow the bread to cool completely before removing the kneading blade carefully. Some
types of flour absorb more water than others, so try adding an extra 10–20 mL of water next
time.
Crust has built up underneath the kneading blade.
Wash the kneading blade and its spindle after each use.
The crust creases and goes
soft on cooling.
The steam remaining in the bread after baking can pass into the crust and soften it slightly.
To reduce the amount of steam, try using 10–20 mL less water.
Remove loaf from the bread pan immediately after baking completed.
How can I keep my crust
crispy?
To make your bread crispier, you could use menu 08 (SD-2500: 07) or the ‘Dark’ crust colour
option, or even bake it in the oven at 200˚C/gas mark 6 for an extra 5–10 minutes.
My bread is sticky and slices
unevenly.
It was too hot when you sliced it.
Allow your bread to cool on rack before slicing to release the steam.

mixed properly in brioche.

The bread does not come out.
If the bread cannot be easily removed from the bread pan, leave the bread pan for
5–10 minutes to cool, making sure that it is not left unattended where somebody or something
may get burnt.
After that, shake the pan several times using oven gloves.
(Hold the handle down so that it does not get in the way of bread.)
When cooking jam, it has
scorched or the kneading
blade fixes and it doesn’t
come off.
The amount of the fruit was a too little, or the amount of sugar is too much.
Place the bread pan in the sink and half fill the bread pan with warm water. Leave the
bread pan to soak until the cooked on mixture or kneading blade loosens. After scorching is
relieved, wash it with a soft sponge etc. Please be aware of the hot water.
The jam has boiled over.
Too much fruit or sugar has been used.
Only use the amounts of fruit and sugar specified in the recipes on P. 40.
Jam is too runny and not
firmly set.
The fruit was under or over ripe.
Sugar was decreased too much.
Cooking time was insufficient.
Fruit with a low pectin content was used.
Use the runny jam as a sauce for desserts.
Leave the jam to cool completely. The jam will continue to set as it cools.
