Frequently Asked Questions - BM 1000 WHIRLPOOL

Why is smoke coming out of the ventilation hole when baking?

Smoke can occur if ingredients are stuck to the heating element. For first use, run the empty machine on BAKE mode for 10 minutes to remove residual oil. If it persists, unplug the bread maker and clean the heating element.

Why is the bottom crust too thick?

The keep warm function can cause excess moisture loss, making the crust thicker. Remove the bread from the pan as soon as baking is complete to avoid prolonged warming.

How do I remove the kneading blade if it is stuck?

Soak the bread pan in warm water for about 30 minutes. Then gently wipe the blade with a damp cloth. Never use sharp tools that could damage the non-stick coating.

What does the 'H:HH' error mean?

The 'H:HH' error indicates the internal temperature is too high for bread making. Press START/STOP, unplug the machine, remove the pan, and open the lid to cool down before restarting.

How do I use the delay timer?

Select the desired program and crust color. Use the TIME ▲ or TIME ▼ button to set the delay time (up to 13 hours) including the baking time. Press START/STOP to activate. The bread will be ready at the set time.

Can I use this bread maker for gluten-free bread?

The manual does not specify a gluten-free program, but you can use the BASIC or WHOLEWHEAT program with gluten-free flour mixes. Adjust the recipe and monitor the dough consistency.

How do I prevent the bread from collapsing?

Ensure you use the correct amount of yeast (max 9g) and flour (max 280g). Avoid opening the lid during the final rise. Check that salt is added, as it strengthens gluten structure.

What ingredients can I use for the jam program?

The jam program uses shredded fruit (e.g., strawberry), sugar, and pudding powder. Follow the recipe: 2 cups shredded strawberries, 120g sugar, 80g pudding powder. Do not use frozen fruit without adjusting liquid.

Why does the display show 'L:LL'?

The 'L:LL' error means the internal temperature is too low. Move the bread maker to a warmer environment (above 15°C) and restart. Avoid placing it near drafts or cold surfaces.

What is the maximum flour quantity I can use?

The maximum flour quantity is 280g and yeast should not exceed 9g. Exceeding these limits may cause overflow or poor mixing. Always weigh ingredients accurately.

E. INTRODUCTION OF BREAD INGREDIENTS

1. Bread flour

Bread flour (can also be called high-gluten flour) has high content of gluten; it has good elasticity and can keep the size of the bread from collapsing after rising. As its gluten content is higher than common flour, it can be used for making bread of larger size and better inner fiber. Bread flour is the most important ingredient of making bread.

2. Plain flour

Plain flour is a blend of hard and soft wheat; it is suitable for making express bread and cake.

3. Whole-wheat flour

Whole wheat flours are arranged from again. It contains wheat skin and gluten. Whole wheat flours in biceps and

7. Sugar

Sugar is a very important ingredient to increase sweetness and color of the bread. It is also considered as nourishment for the yeast. White sugar is largely used. Brown sugar, powder sugar or cotton sugar may also be used if specified.

8. Yeast

During rising, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will expand bread and make the inner fiber soften. To increase the activity of yeast, sugar and carbohydrate in flour is required as nourishment. There are three types of yeast: fresh yeast, active dry yeast and instant yeast. Instant yeast is usually used with bread maker. For better result during rising, active dry yeast can be used too. However, the speed of rising for instant yeast will be faster than active dry yeast and smaller amount will be required.

1 tsp. active dry yeast = 3/4 tsp. instant yeast

1.5 tsp. active dry yeast = 1 tsp. instant yeast

2 tsp. active dry yeast = 1.5 tsp. instant yeast

Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as the fungus in it will be killed at high temperature. Before using, check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Store it back to the refrigerator as soon as possible after each use. Usually the failure of bread rising is caused by bad yeast.

The ways described below will check whether your yeast is fresh and active.

• Pour 1/2 cup of warm water (45-50°C) Into a measuring cup.
• Put 1 tsp. of white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the water.
• Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not stir the water.
  • The froth should be up to 1 cup. Otherwise the yeast is dead or inactive.

9. Salt

13. Soda

It is similar to baking powder. It can also be used in combination with baking powder. No rising time is required. It utilizes chemical principle to soften the bread during heating.

14. Water and other liquid

Water is an essential ingredient for making bread. Ideal water temperature should be between 20^ C to 25^ C. However, for “Ultra Fast” menu, the water temperature should be between 45^ C to 50^ C.

Water can be replaced with fresh milk or water mixed with 2% of milk powder, which will enhance bread flavor and improve crust color. Some recipes may add juice for the purpose of enhancing bread flavor, e.g. apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice and so on.
