Frequently Asked Questions - BM 1000 IMETEC

How do I use the bread maker for the first time?

Before first use, remove all packaging and wash the removable pan and kneading paddles. Run an empty cycle (without ingredients) with water to clean the interior. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions.

What type of flour should I use?

Use bread flour or all-purpose flour for best results. Do not use self-rising flour unless specified in the recipe. For gluten-free bread, use a gluten-free flour blend.

Why is my bread too dense or not rising?

Possible causes: old yeast, incorrect flour type, too much salt, or liquid too cold. Ensure yeast is fresh, liquids at room temperature, and follow the recipe proportions.

How do I clean the bread maker?

Unplug and let cool. Remove the pan and paddles. Wash the pan in warm soapy water (non-stick safe) or dishwasher. Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp cloth. Never immerse the base in water.

Can I delay the start time?

Yes, the BM 1000 has a delay timer up to 13 hours. Program the machine, set the timer, and it will start baking at the desired time. Do not use delay with perishable ingredients like eggs or milk.

What are the different programs?

The BM 1000 has 12 programs including basic white, whole wheat, French, sweet, gluten-free, rapid, dough, jam, cake, and more. Refer to the manual for program descriptions.

How do I adjust the crust color?

Press the 'Crust' button (if available) or select from the menu. There are three settings: light, medium, and dark. The machine adjusts baking time accordingly.

Why does the machine stop during operation?

The bread maker may stop if there is a power outage, if the lid is opened too long, or if the internal temperature is too high. Allow it to cool and restart. If persistent, contact support.

Can I use my own recipes?

Yes, but ensure total ingredients do not exceed the machine's capacity (1000g loaf). Use the 'custom' program if available, or select a suitable program and adjust timing manually.

How do I store the bread maker?

Clean and dry thoroughly. Wrap the cord neatly. Store in a dry, cool place. Do not place heavy items on top.

The times shown here can help you to manage the recipe in the best way:

Mould transfer: indicates after exactly how long (from the program start) the transfer of the dough to the moulds will be requested. There is an acoustic signal (5 beeps + 10 beeps at the end of the 30 minutes envisaged for the operation).

For program no.4, 70 minutes after the start

For program no.11, 90 minutes after the start

NOTE: the time needed for mould transfer cannot be reduced. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS DURING THE PAUSE IN THE PROGRAM.

Blade extraction: indicates the exact moment when the mixing blade can be taken out in programs with the "loaf" accessory, or seeds can be added to the surface of the bread.

The fact of taking out the blade makes it easier to remove the bread or cake from the container at the end of the baking phase. In bread programs, the time indicated corresponds to the beginning of the last

rising phase, just after the movement of the mixing blade to reduce the volume of the dough. For the cake program, it corresponds exactly to the end of the kneading phase.

Program end: Indicates the total recipe execution time at the various browning levels. For certain programs, the execution end can be delayed by up to 13 hours.

WARNING! Risk of crushing. The lid may close accidentally.

WARNING! Risk of scalding. DO NOT move the appliance while it is in operation.

Programs from no.1 to no.11 carry out the various kneading, rising and baking phases autonomously. For some of them, the intervention of the user may be necessary.

These programs cannot be used consecutively: there must be a pause (of about 30') to let the machine cool down completely. If you want to speed up this process, move the machine to a cool, airy place.

- Open the lid.

• Take out the loaf container by lifting the handle and turning it anti-clockwise (Fig. A). Pay special attention to the lid, to make sure it doesn't close on your hands: you are advised to hold it still with your free hand.
• Insert the mixing blade on the pin.
• Insert the ingredients in the loaf container, following the order indicated in the recipe. Weigh the ingredients carefully, using scales with 1-gram marks.
• Put the loaf container in the machine, rotating it clockwise until it's firmly locked in place (Fig. A).
• Insert the power cable plug in the power socket.

NOTE: the loaf container must always be used in the first kneading and rising phase, even for programs that use different moulds.

SETTING THE MACHINE

• Press the MENU button several times to select the required program (Fig. C). The number of the program and the relative duration are shown on the display.
• Press the WEIGHT button to select the weight of the loaf (Fig. D).
• Press the BROWNING button □ several times to select the required browning level
  • LIGHT, MEDIUM or DARK (Fig. E).

- Longer baking time: select DARK browning.

- Shorter baking time: select LIGHT browning.

NOTE: to stop any active program, press the START/STOP button for a few seconds.

FOLLOWING THE RECIPE

- Press the START/STOP button to begin the program (Fig. G); the remaining time is updated on the display.

The machine automatically carries out the various bread-making phases.

It's important not to open the lid during the baking phase, as this might affect the result.

1st phase: KNEADING

During this phase, all the programs emit 4 beeps after 30 minutes so that any additional ingredients can be inserted. No button must be pressed: simply open the lid and add the ingredients.

During this phase, the lid can be left open to control the process.

2nd phase: RISING

There are three or four rising phases, depending on the program.

Keep the lid closed during leavening so the machine can guarantee the optimal temperature.

Only for loaves (1,2,3,5,6,7): mixing blade extraction.

For loaves, the mixing blade can be taken out at the beginning of the last rising phase: the exact moment is shown in the TIMES TABLE chapter, under the heading “Mixing blade extraction”, and is calculated from the moment the program is launched with the START button:

e.g. for program no.1, 103 minutes after the start.

• Open the lid and hold it still to make sure it doesn't close on your hands.
  • Take the loaf container out by rotating the handle anti-clockwise as far as the lock.
• Tilt the loaf container to one side then, after sprinkling flour onto your hand, move the dough past the first mixing blade.
  • Take out the mixing blade.
• Redistribute the dough and level it off.
• Put the loaf container back in the baking chamber and close the lid.

Only for programs that require the use of moulds (no. 4 and 11): transferring the dough to the moulds

After the first rising phase, the machine emits 5 beeps and then goes into standby for 30 minutes. Once this time has elapsed, the machine emits 10 beeps to mark the start of the baking phase.

• Open the lid and hold it still to make sure it doesn't close on your hands.
  • Take the loaf container out by rotating the handle anti-clockwise as far as the lock.
  • Take out the dough and transfer it to the moulds:

- divide the dough into four equal parts (Fig. I) and transfer it to the moulds after greasing them with olive oil or butter and flour (cakes).

- Insert the moulds on the mould support (Fig. L). Insert the mould support in the baking chamber (Fig.M).

- Close the lid.

- After 30 minutes, the machine will emit 10 beeps. The program starts additional leavening and continues automatically.

NOTE: the time needed for mould transfer cannot be reduced. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS DURING THE PAUSE IN THE PROGRAM.

3rd phase: BAKING

The length of this phase depends on the program chosen.

End of the bread-making

• At the end of the bread-making phase, the machine emits 10 beeps; the initial screen appears on the display.
  Take the plug out of the socket.
• Open the lid carefully as the hot air might hit you in the face.

Loaf:

• Hold the lid still with one hand, to make sure it doesn't close on your hands.
• Put on an oven mitt and grip the handle, rotating it anti-clockwise as far as the lock.
• Tip the loaf container over and strike it on the base to remove the bread.
• If the mixing blade is still in the bread, remove it by inserting the relative hook (20) in the hole in the blade and levering slightly on the wall inside the hole [Fig. N].

Moulds:

• Wearing an oven mitt, grip the handles of the support to take it out.
• Remove the moulds from the support.
• Tip the mould over to remove the bread.

PARTIAL PROGRAMS FOR KNEADING OR BAKING ONLY

The machine has a specific program for the kneading and rising phase only, and a program for the baking phase only.

The baking program can be used straight away after the kneading and rising phases.

Kneading program (no. 8)

This program carries out the kneading phase only, followed by two rising phases.

• Use the MENU button to select program 8.
• Press the START/STOP button (10): the kneading will begin, followed by the first rising phase.

Baking program (no. 12)

This program uses the baking phase only. It can be used to extend a bread-making phase that has just finished.

• Use the MENU button to select program 12.
• Set the required baking time (from 10 to 60 minutes) using the + and - buttons.
• Press the START/STOP button: the baking phase will begin straight away.

DELAYED START

The delayed start can be used with certain programs in order to have the bread ready up to 13 hours later. You are advised not to use this function with perishable ingredients or gluten-free flours.

The delayed start function is only active with programs no. 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 11.

• Place the ingredients in the loaf container in this order: liquid ingredients, yeast, flour, salt and sugar. The last two elements must not come into contact either with each other or with the water.
• Select the program, weight and required baking level as specified in the USE chapter.
• Press the + button. The display will show the maximum delay time 13:00 (hours).
• Press the - button to reduce the delay time (but not beyond the minimum required by the program).
• Press the + button to increase the delay time in the event of an error (but not beyond the minimum required by the program); the time will change by 10' every time the + or - button is pressed.
• Press the START/STOP button (Fig. H).
• the machine will remain in standby for the programmed time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Always take out the plug and make sure the appliance has fully cooled down before cleaning or carrying out maintenance.

WARNING! Risk of fire. Wait for the appliance to cool completely before storing it.

Take the plug out of the socket and wait until the appliance is completely cold.

• Clean the lid, baking chamber and heating element with a soft, damp cloth that has been well wrung out. Do not use detergents or abrasives and do not pour in any liquids.
• Wash the loaf container, mixing blade, moulds, support and mixing blade removal hook by hand, using a soft sponge, hot water and detergent. If the mixing blade doesn't come out easily, leave it soaking in hot water for a few minutes.
• Clean the main body with a damp cloth that has been well wrung out.
• Dry well.
• Put the containers back in place, taking care not to scratch them. Proceed as follows after having assembled the appliance.

PROTECTION IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE

The machine is provided with a protection that, in the case of a power failure (max. 10 minutes) keeps the memory active and guarantees that the recipe will be continued.

HANDY TIPS

To learn how to use the bread maker, to begin with you are advised to follow the recipes without altering the ingredients or quantities. In this way, you will get to know the various programs and accessories so it will then be easier to try out variations with ingredients to your own taste, or more suitable for your own type of diet.

- When experimenting with new ideas, you are advised to replace just one ingredient at a time (e.g. a different flour, oil instead of butter, etc.), so you can more easily note the difference compared with the original recipe you have already tried. When you want to make a more significant change (e.g. a different type of yeast from the one indicated in the recipe), or even try out a recipe of your own that's very different from those in the book, it's important to keep the rising and baking phases under control to avoid any risk of the dough seeping out of the containers.
