Breville Baker's Oven BBM100

Answers and step-by-step fixes from the official Breville manual.

What does the display show?

• E01: Machine is still too hot to start. You are trying to start a new program right after a loaf has baked, before the inside has cooled down.
• E00: Room is too cold. The bread machine is being used in a very cold room, so it can't reach the right temperature.
• EEE: Sensor fault. The machine has detected a problem it can't fix on its own.
• HHH: Sensor fault. The machine has detected a problem it can't fix on its own.

Common problems

The bread maker won't start or run

1. Is the kneading blade sitting on the shaft? If the blade isn't fitted on the shaft properly, the machine can't knead.
2. Did you press START/STOP partway through? Pressing START/STOP after the machine has already started cancels the program.
3. Has the machine cooled down since last use? If it's still warm from the last bake, it won't start a new program.
4. Did you actually press START/STOP to begin? The program only begins once START/STOP has been pressed.

The power went out partway through baking

1. How long was the power off? If it was 5 minutes or less, the machine will pick up where it left off on its own once power returns.
2. Did it happen during kneading? Reselect the same bread setting so the dough can re-knead and carry on through rising and baking.
3. Did it happen during rising? Turn the machine off, leave the dough in the pan with the lid closed until it's near the top, then switch it back on.
4. Did it happen during baking? Select BAKE ONLY and press START/STOP to finish the bake.

The bread didn't rise

1. Is the flour fresh and high enough in protein? Low protein flour or flour past its use-by date can stop the dough rising properly.
2. Could the yeast have failed to activate? Yeast that hasn't activated won't make the dough rise.
3. Did you measure the yeast accurately? Inaccurate yeast measurements are a common cause of bread not rising.
4. Did you forget to add the yeast? It happens more often than you'd think.

The top of the loaf collapsed or sank

1. Check how you weighed and measured the ingredients. Inaccurate weighing or measuring is the usual cause.
2. Was there too much yeast, water or other liquid? Too much yeast, water or liquid, or too little flour, can make the top pale and cause it to collapse while baking.
3. Are the ingredients properly balanced? An imbalance in the recipe or using a low protein flour is usually to blame.

Step-by-step guides

Clean the bread pan and kneading blade

1. Switch off and unplug the bread maker.
2. Half fill the bread pan with warm soapy water and let it soak.
3. Remove the kneading blade and clean the blade and inside of the pan with a soft cloth.
4. Clear away any crust or dough stuck around the drive shaft and blade.
5. Wipe the inside and outside of the machine and lid with a damp cloth.
6. Make sure every part is completely dry before using the machine again.

Resume baking after a power cut

1. Check how long the power was off.
2. If it happened during kneading, reselect the same bread setting.
3. If it happened during rising, turn the machine off and leave the dough in the closed pan to rise.
4. Select BAKE ONLY and press START/STOP to finish baking.

Free a stuck kneading blade

1. Try removing the kneading blade from the pan using oven mitts.
2. If it won't come off, pour warm water with detergent into the pan.
3. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
