Here are some cleaning tips for your bread machine:

1. Wait for the bread machine to cool: Before you start cleaning, make sure the bread machine is completely cool. This will prevent burns and possible damage.

2. Unplug the bread machine: Before cleaning the bread machine, be sure to unplug it from the electrical outlet for safety reasons.

3. Remove removable accessories: Remove all removable accessories such as the bread pan, measuring spoon and mixer. These items can usually be washed by hand or in the dishwasher, following the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before replacing them.

4. Clean the inside of the bread machine: Use a damp cloth to wipe the inside of the bread machine, taking care to remove any crumbs or food residue. Do not use harsh chemicals to clean the inside of the machine.

5. Clean the outside of the bread machine: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the outside of the bread machine. You can also use a little mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive products or harsh solvents that could damage the surface of the machine.

6. Allow to dry and store: Make sure that all parts of the bread machine are completely dry before putting them back in place. Once dry, place them back in the breadmaker and close the lid. You can also store extra accessories in a dedicated drawer if your bread machine is equipped with one.

By following these cleaning tips, you can keep your bread machine in good working order and extend its life.

If the display shows HHH after the programme has started and you hear 5 beeps, this indicates that the temperature of the appliance is still too high. In this case you should stop the programme in progress, 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 COOKING programme) and you hear 5 beeps, this means that the appliance temperature is too low. You can stop the alarm by pressing the START/STOP button, then open the lid and let the machine rest for 10 to 20 minutes to return to room temperature.

3. If the display shows EE0 after pressing the START/STOP button, this indicates a problem with the connection to the temperature sensor. In this case, it is recommended that you have the sensor carefully checked by an authorized technician to resolve the problem.

Here are some additional tips for preparing your bread in the bread machine:

1. Follow the proportions of the ingredients: carefully follow the proportions of ingredients given in the recipe. Improper proportions can affect the texture and rise of the bread.

2. Use fresh yeast: If you use fresh yeast, make sure you activate it by dissolving it in a little warm water before adding it to the other ingredients. This will make the bread rise better.

3. Add extra ingredients carefully: if you want to add extra ingredients such as nuts, raisins or herbs, add them to the bread machine at the right time, according to the recipe instructions. Some ingredients can be added early on, while others may need to be added later.

4. Check the texture of the dough: while kneading, check the texture of the dough. If it is too dry, add a little warm water, a spoonful at a time. If it is too sticky, add a little flour, also a spoonful at a time. Gradually adjust until you reach the desired consistency.

5. Clean and maintain your bread machine: After each use, clean your bread machine thoroughly according to the instructions. Make sure all parts are dry before putting them back in.

6. Experiment with different ingredients and recipes: Feel free to try different recipes and add your own personal touches. The bread machine offers a wide variety of possibilities for exploring new bread flavours and textures.

Be sure to consult the specific instructions and manual provided with your bread machine for additional tips and specific recommendations.

If you are having trouble removing the blades from the mixer of your bread machine, here are some suggestions:

1. Try soaking the bowl in hot water: Fill the bowl with hot water and let it soak for about 30 minutes. This can help loosen food residue and make it easier to remove the bowl.

2. Use a damp cloth: If soaking is not enough, you can try cleaning the blade of the mixer with a damp cotton cloth. Be sure not to use any sharp or pointed objects that could damage the blades.

3. Refer to the user's manual: Refer to the specific user's manual for your bread machine for detailed instructions on removing the blades from the mixer. Some models may have locking mechanisms or specific steps to follow.

Remember to always take precautions when handling the dough mixer blades to avoid injury.
