Frequently Asked Questions - BM900ND GORENJE

What should I do before first use?

Clean the baking tray and chamber with a damp cloth. Run the Bake program empty for about 10 minutes, then let it cool and clean again. Grease the kneading blade slightly.

What is the correct order for adding ingredients?

First add liquids (water, milk, etc.), then sugar, salt, and flour. Make a small well in the flour and add yeast or baking powder last. Ensure yeast does not touch liquid or salt.

How do I set the delay timer?

Select the program, crust color, and loaf size. Press the Time button to set the delay (including baking time). Maximum delay is 13 hours. Then press and hold Start/Stop for 3 seconds to activate. The display will count down.

Can I change the crust color?

Yes, use the Color button to select Light, Medium, or Dark. This option is available for programs: Basic, Whole Wheat, French, Quick, Sweet, Cake, Bake, Dessert, and Home Made.

How do I select the loaf size?

Press the Loaf button to toggle between 700 g and 1000 g. This option is active for Basic, Whole Wheat, French, and Sweet programs.

What does the HHH or LLL display mean?

HHH indicates the inside temperature is too high. Stop the program, let it cool for 10-20 minutes. LLL means too low; select the Bake program to raise the temperature. If E E0 or E E1 appears, the temperature sensor may be faulty; contact service.

How do I clean the bread maker?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe the baking tray and chamber with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The lid can be removed for cleaning. Soak the kneading blade in water if stuck.

What happens if there is a power failure?

The machine has a memory function: if power resumes within 10 minutes, the program continues automatically. If longer, you need to restart with fresh ingredients.

How should I store homemade bread?

Store in a plastic bag or bread basket at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, seal in a plastic bag and refrigerate (up to 10 days). Homemade bread has a shorter shelf life than store-bought.

Can I use the delay function with perishable ingredients?

No, avoid using eggs, fresh milk, fruits, or onions when using the delay timer to prevent spoilage. Use dry or shelf-stable ingredients only.

If the interruption happened before dough rising, press START/STOP for a new beginning.

ENVIRONMENT

The appliance may work well in a wide range of temperatures, but there may be a difference in loaf size. The loaf will be bigger in a very warm room and smaller in a very cold room. The temperature should be from 15 °C to 34 °C.

WARNING DISPLAY:

1. If the display shows "HHH" after pressing the START/STOP button, it means the temperature inside is still too high (followed by continuous beep sounds). Stop the program. Press the START/STOP button to return to the default setting of the appliance and stop the sound. Open the lid and let the machine cool down for 10 to 20 minutes.
2. If the display shows "LLL" after pressing the START/STOP button (except for the programs JAM and BAKE), it means the temperature inside is too low (followed by continuous beep sounds). Press the START/STOP button to return to the default setting of the machine and stop the sound. Then select the BAKE program to make the temperature inside the chamber increase rapidly.
3. If the display shows "E E0" or "E E1" after pressing the START/STOP button, it means that the temperature sensor does not work (followed by continuous beep sounds). Press the START/STOP button to stop the sound. Please go to the nearest authorized expert.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

1. Please check whether all parts and accessories are complete and free of damage.
2. Clean all the parts according to the section "Cleaning and Maintenance". Do not rub!
3. Set the bread maker on BAKE mode and bake empty for about 10 minutes. Then let it cool down and clean all the detached parts again.
4. Dry all parts thoroughly and assemble them, the appliance is ready for using.

HOW TO MAKE BREAD

1. Place the baking tray in position, then turn it in clockwise until it clicks in correct position. Fix the kneading blade onto the drive shaft. For easier removal of blades at the end, oil them with butter.
2. Place ingredients into the baking tray. It is recommended first to put water or other liquid in the tray, then sugar, salt and flour. As the last ingredient always add baking powder or yeast.

Yeast or soda

Dry ingredients

Water or liquid

Note: the maximum quantities of the flour and yeast which may be used refer to the recipe.

1. Make a small hole into the flour with finger, put in yeast and make sure it does not come into contact with the liquid or salt.

Note: the maximum quantity of flour and yeast is 600g and 3 teaspoons. It is suggested never exceed the specific quantity, otherwise the excessive rising will make the bread overflow.

1. For the programs of BASIC, WHOLE WHEAT, FRENCH, SWEET, CAKE and HOME-MADE, put the fruit ingredients into the ingredient tray and then close the ingredient tray cover.

Note: During operation, the ingredient tray cover will automatically open and the ingredients will pour into the baking tray.

1. Close the lid gently and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
2. Press the MENU button until your desired program is selected.
3. Press the COLOR button to select the desired crust color.
4. Press the LOAF button to select the desired size (700g or 1000g).
5. Set the delay time by pressing the TIME button. If you want the bread maker to start working immediately, skip this step.
6. Press and hold the START/STOP button for approximately 3 seconds to start working.
7. Once the process is completed, you will hear 10 beeps and the LCD will return to the default setting of the appliance. Press and hold the START/STOP button for approximately 3 seconds to stop the process and take out the bread. Open the lid, put on kitchen gloves, turn the baking tray anticlockwise, and take out the tray.

Note: The baking tray and bread may be very hot! Always handle with care.

1. Let the baking tray cool down before removing the bread. Then use a non-stick spoon to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the tray.
2. Turn the baking tray upside down onto a wire cooling rack or clean cooking surface and gently shake until the bread falls out.
3. Let the bread cool for about 20 minutes before slicing it. It is recommended to slice bread with an electric cutter. Do not use a fruit knife or kitchen knife, otherwise the bread will fall to pieces.
4. If you are out of the room or did not press the START/STOP button at the end of operation, the bread will be kept warm automatically for 1 hour.
5. When the bread maker is not in use or operation is complete, unplug the power cord.

Note: Before slicing the loaf, use the hook to remove the kneading blades, hidden on the bottom of the loaf. The loaf is hot, so never use your hands to remove the kneading blades.

Note: If you did not eat the whole bread, we advise you to store the rest in a plastic bag or bread basket. Bread can be stored for about 3 days at room temperature. For longer storage, pack it in a sealed plastic bag and then place it into the refrigerator. Bread is consumable for a maximum of 10 days. Storage time for homemade bread is shorter than time for bread in the market.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. For quick preparation of small bread, rolls...

Prepare them with baking powder or baking soda. We suggest that you put all liquid at the bottom of the baking tray and dry ingredients on top. Be alert during mixing, as dry ingredients may gather in the corners of the tray. Mix the ingredients well.

2. Quick program

The bread maker can bake a loaf within 1 hour 38 minutes with the QUICK function. For this program, you need hot water (48 °C – 50 °C). Because the water temperature is very critical for baking, measure it with a thermometer. If the temperature is too low, the bread will not rise to the expected size. If the water temperature is too high, the yeast will be killed before rising, which also affects the baking performance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and let it cool down before you start to clean it.

1. Baking tray: Rub inside and outside with a wet cloth. Do not use any sharp or abrasive agents.
2. Kneading bar: If the kneading bar is difficult to remove from the axle, soak the baking tray in water.
3. Lid and window: The lid can be removed for cleaning. Clean the lid and the appliance inside and outside with a wet cloth.

This appliance conforms to the CE directives for radio interference suppression and low-voltage safety and has been built to meet current safety requirements.

Environment

Do not throw away the appliance with normal household waste at the end of its life. Hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
