Cleaning And Care - SEVERIN bm 3986 Gebrauchsanweisung

- Remove the bread from the baking-tin. To loosen the bread, it may be lightly shaken.
Should one of the kneading hooks be stuck in the bread, it should be carefully removed
using the extractor supplied. Insert the extractor into the opening of the kneading hook
and cant it in such a way that it grips the lower end of the hook. Pull the hook carefully
from the loaf, preferably with its blade first. To facilitate extracting the blade, a small cut
can be made in that part of the loaf.
To allow the underside of the loaf to cool down as well, it should be placed on a suitable
wire rack. Do not attempt to cut the bread until it has cooled down.

CLEANING AND CARE

●
Before the appliance is cleaned, ensure it is switched off, disconnected from the power
supply and has cooled down completely. Do not immerse the bread-maker in water.
- Remove the baking-tin from the appliance, and take out the kneading hooks.
The baking-tin and the kneading hooks may be cleaned using hot water and a mild
detergent. Do not use any rough material for cleaning. If you are unable to separate the
kneading hooks from the baking tin using normal force, let it soak in lukewarm water for
approximately 30 minutes. Do not use excessive force to remove the hooks.
●
To prevent damage to the drive-shaft seal, the baking-tin should not be left soaking for
any extended period of time. Do not clean the baking-tin in a dish-washer.
- The inside of the lid may be cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. The interior of the
appliance should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
●
Do not use cleaning agents specifically designed for baking ovens, and do not use any
abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions, vinegar or bleaching agents for cleaning.
●
Before storing the appliance, always ensure that it has cooled down and that it is
completely dry.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS AND QUESTIONS
1. The bread has a strong smell.
Check whether the correct amount of yeast was used. Too much yeast causes an
unpleasant smell and makes the loaf rise too much. Always use fresh ingredients.
2. The baked bread is wet and has a sticky surface.
Remove the bread from the appliance immediately after baking, and place it onto a wire
rack, allowing it to cool down.
3. Pressing the Start button fails to activate the selected programme.
Make sure that the unit is properly connected to the mains supply and that it has been
switched on.
Should the appliance still be too hot after a previous work cycle, an automatic safety
switch prevents the appliance from resuming operation. In that case, the LED-display
shows the letters HHH, and a continuous acoustic signal is heard. Press the
