Frequently Asked Questions - ExpressBake BMM4000SS SUNBEAM

Can I use a delayed timer with the ExpressBake program?
No, the ExpressBake (rapid) program does not support the delay timer. Use it only when you want bread ready in under an hour.
What size loaf does the BMM4000SS make?
It makes 1.5 lb and 2 lb loaves. Select the size using the button before starting.
How do I clean the bread pan?
Remove the pan after cooling. Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or put it in the dishwasher.
My bread has a dense texture. What could be wrong?
Dense bread often results from too little liquid, old yeast, or too much whole grain flour. Ensure you measure accurately and use fresh ingredients.
Can I make gluten-free bread in this machine?
Yes, the BMM4000SS has a dedicated Gluten-Free program. Use gluten-free flour blends and follow the recipe in the manual.
The kneading paddle got stuck. How do I remove it?
Soak the pan in warm water for 10-15 minutes. The paddle should loosen. Do not force it, as it may damage the non-stick coating.
What does the Keep Warm function do?
After baking, the machine keeps the bread warm for up to one hour. You can turn it off by pressing the Stop button.
Why is my bread not rising?
Check the expiration date of your yeast. Also, ensure the water temperature is between 75°F and 110°F. Too hot or cold water can kill the yeast.
Can I use a metal spatula to remove the bread?
No, use a silicone or wooden spatula to avoid scratching the non-stick coating of the pan.
How do I reset the machine?
Unplug the machine for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. This resets the internal electronics without losing saved settings.

Hints and Tips

Measuring Ingredients

The most important secret of making bread is exact measurements. With wet ingredients, use the provided measuring cup. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact.

With dry ingredients, always “level off” the measurement with the back of a knife or a spatula to make sure the measurement is exact.

Another helpful tip is to never use the cup to scoop the ingredients (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup with a spoon before leveling off.

Ingredient order is important

The second most important secret of making bread is putting the ingredients into the bread maker in the exact order given in the recipe.

This means:

  • FIRST, liquid ingredients
  • SECOND, dry ingredients
  • LAST, yeast

Temperature of Ingredients

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise noted in the recipe.

Temperatures too low or too high can affect the way the bread rises and bakes. It's a good idea to start with all new, fresh ingredients (especially fresh flour and yeast).

Using the Time Delay

The ExpressBake ^™ allows you to delay the completion of your bread by up to 13 hours, so you can wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread, or go out for the day while your ExpressBake ^™ does all the work.

Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the recipe has perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs or cheese as these may spoil.

Note: The delay timer cannot be used with Menu 3: ExpressBake ^TM .

  1. Follow steps 1 - 5 on page 12.

  2. Press Time and Time buttons

until you reach the number of hours and minutes you want your bread to be ready. Press to add or minus time in 10 minute intervals.

  1. Press Start/Stop to begin delay start countdown.

Note: You do not need to take into account the amount of time required to cook the program selected. This is automatically registered in the ExpressBake ^™ when it is selected.

Using the Bake Only menu

The BAKE menu setting is useful if the bread crust is too light or requires more baking time. This setting will bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes and can be controlled by pressing the Start/Stop button at any time.

  1. Press the MENU button to select the BAKE setting.

  2. Adjust the amount of time using the TIME and TIME buttons.

  3. Press the Start/Stop button.

Power Interruption Program Protection

Your bread maker features a 10 minute Power Interruption Protection that protects the program memory in the advent of power surges, or short term power failure (blackout) This means that if there is a power interruption during your bread making, the machine will retain its memory for at least 10 minutes and continue cooking when the power supply returns.

If you experience a power failure greater than 10 minutes you may need to discard ingredients and start again. If the power interruption occurs in the baking cycle, you can use the BAKE ONLY setting to finish baking.

Fruit and Nut Dispenser

Your ExpressBake™ has an Automatic Fruit and Nut dispenser which automatically releases dry ingredients into the dough during the kneading cycle. This will occur during the second kneading cycle, ensuring that the dried fruit and nuts are not crushed and the pieces remain whole and are evenly dispersed.

This option is available on all menus except ExpressBake ^™ , Jam and Bake Only. Do not overfill the dispenser and ensure the dispenser is closed prior to each use. The dispenser may be open from the previous time it was used.

ExpressBake™ Hints & Tips

Experienced cooks consider bread making to be as much of an art as a science. Keep in mind that some recipes may require a little experimentation before they are exactly the way you want them. Just don't give up. Still, there are special hints to ensuring quality bread almost every time.

Use Exact Measurements

It is extremely important to use exact measurements when baking bread. Level off all dry ingredients and make sure that all liquid ingredients are measured in a cup with the markings clearly labeled on the side.

Use Fresh Ingredients

You should always use fresh ingredients. The reasons are:

  • Flour - If you have stored your flour for a long time, it may have become wet from absorbing moisture, or dry, depending on the area of the country in which you live. We recommend using fresh bread flour.
  • Yeast - Fresh yeast is probably the most important ingredient in baking bread. If the yeast is not fresh, your bread may not rise. It is better to buy new yeast than to take a chance on yeast that has been stored for a long time.

You can test the freshness of your yeast. Simply fill a cup with warm water, then add and stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar. Sprinkle a few teaspoons of yeast on the surface of the water and wait. After 15 minutes, the yeast should foam and there should be distinct odor. If neither reaction happens, the yeast is old and should be thrown away.

Add Ingredients in the Correct Order

Read all recipes from top to bottom, and remember:

  • FIRST, liquid ingredients
  • SECOND, dry ingredients
  • LAST, yeast

For Baking at High Altitudes

If you live above 3000 feet, you probably already know how to adjust other recipes like cakes and muffins. Higher altitudes tend to make dough rise faster and make flour drier. To compensate for high altitude baking, we recommend the following:

If the dough is too dry

- Increase the amount of water to the recipe, sometimes as much as 2–4 tablespoons per cup.

If the bread rises too high

  • Reduce the amount of yeast. For each teaspoon of yeast, try reducing the yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Reduce the amount of sugar. For each tablespoon of sugar, reduce the amount by 1 to 2 teaspoons.

Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning the ExpressBake ^™ , unplug it from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.

To clean the exterior

Wipe exterior with a slightly dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use metal scourers or abrasives as this may scratch the exterior surface.

To clean the non-stick baking pan

Gently wash bread pan in warm soapy water using a soft cloth and dry well before and after each use. Wipe baking pan and kneading blade with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use any harsh abrasives or strong household cleaners as these may damage the non-stick surface.

Caring for your non-stick baking pan

Do not use metal utensils to remove ingredients or bread, as they may damage the non-stick coating. Do not be concerned if the non-stick coating wears off or changes colour overtime. This is result of steam, moisture, food acids, mixing of various ingredients and normal wear and tear. This is in no way harmful and does not affect the performance of your ExpressBake™.

Do not wash any part of your bread maker in a dishwasher.

Do not immerse the ExpressBake ^TM in water.

Storage

Make sure the ExpressBake ^™ is completely cool and dry before storing. Store the ExpressBake ^™ with the lid closed and do not place heavy objects on top of the lid.

Questions and Answers

Question Answer
Why does the height and shape of each loaf differ?It is normal for the height and shape of each loaf to vary depending on the ingredients, accurate measurement of ingredients and the room temperature.
Kneading blade comes out with the breadThis can happen as the kneading blade is removable for easy cleaning. Use the supplied hook to remove the blade from the loaf.Caution: Kneading blade or the bonus blade hook will be hot. Allow bread to cool before removing blade.
Bread has floured cornersThis may occur if the flour is not mixed in completely to the dough. Check bread about 10 minutes into the kneading cycle. If all the flour is not incorporated, use a silicon spatula to remove the flour from the sides of the bread pan so it can be incorporated into the dough.Bread may also have floured corners if the pan is not inserted properly.Ensure it is clicked into place, before you start the machine.
Can ingredients be halved or doubled?No. if there is too little in the bread pan, the blade will not be able to knead well. If there is too much, the bread may rise out of the bread pan.
Can fresh milk be used instead of powered milk?Yes. Be sure to decrease the same measurement of water to equal liquid substitution. Fresh milk is not recommended when using the Delay Timer, as it may spoil in the bread pan.
Bread is deflated and not made properlyBread can be heavily affected by season and dry heat. Please add more water to bring the flour together.
Why is there grease found on the bread?It is important to wipe clean the bread pan and kneading blade before use.
