case, try adding a little less yeast, 1 or 2 grammes.
THE CENTRE OF THE BREAD IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY BAKED
This may be due to the type of flour you used, often too heavy varieties such as rye
flour or wholemeal flour. Try to program an extra kneading process when using these
types of flour. As soon as the bread maker has terminated the first kneading process,
you press stop. Next, you reprogram the bread maker and press 'start/stop': the
appliance will start kneading again, a larger quantity of air has now been absorbed
by the dough. You could also try selecting the dark crust colour, because this slightly
increases the baking temperature.
THE BREAD HAS RISEN TOO MUCH
If your bread rises higher than it ought to, you have used too much yeast. Please check
whether you have used the right quantity and the right type of yeast. Too much sugar
can overactivate the yeast.
Try reducing the dose of sugar and do not use too much dried fruits or honey, which
equally contain a lot of sugar. Try using 10 to 20 ml less water. Do bear in mind that a
lower degree of humidity could brake the activity of the yeast. Sometimes over-rising
can also be caused by flour that was grinded too fine. These varieties of flour do not
require an equally active yeast as heavier varieties do.
THE BREAD IS TOO DRY
Try using less flour or add a tablespoonful of liquid. While your bread maker is
kneading fairly heavy dough or when you have programmed longer kneading times,
the appliance may occasionally tremble a bit. Therefore you must make sure your
bread maker is always positioned on a stable surface, not too near to another object
and not too close to the edge of the kitchen sink unit.
THE BREAD IS FLAT
If you are using grinded flour or wholemeal flour, your bread tends to be somewhat
flatter. If your bread does not rise at all, you need to check the yeast. Have you thought
of adding the yeast? If the bread has only risen a little bit, the yeast you used may have
been too old. Too hot or too cold water also brakes the yeast's activity. Please also
verify whether you have not used too much salt.
ERROR ON THE DISPLAY
If you see the indication 'EE1' appearing on the display after you have pressed the
'start/stop' button, this means that your bread maker has not sufficiently cooled down
yet. Stop the program and pull the plug out of the wall socket. It's necessary to allow
your appliance to cool down for another 10 to 20 minutes, with the lid open.
If the error 'EE2' appears on the display, after you have pressed the 'start/stop' button,
it means that your bread maker is too cold. Place the bread maker somewhere where
it's more warm.
