What to do if my First Bread Maker displays 'H:HH'?

  Felicia Clark DDSAug 19, 2025
  If the display shows “H:HH” after you press the “start/stop” button on your First Bread Maker, it means the temperature inside the bread maker is too high. To fix this, press the “start/stop” button again, unplug the bread maker, remove the bread pan, and leave the cover open until the bread maker cools down.

  Elizabeth WilsonAug 21, 2025
  If your First Bread Maker produces bread that is too large and pushes the cover open, it's likely due to too much yeast, excessive flour, too much water, or a high environmental temperature. Check these factors and reduce the amounts accordingly based on what's causing the issue.

  If the motor of your First Bread Maker is making noise but the dough isn’t stirring, it could be that the bread pan isn't fixed properly or the dough is too large. Ensure the bread pan is correctly fixed. Also, make sure the dough is prepared according to the recipe and that ingredients are accurately weighed.

Why does the dough overflow in my First FA-5152-2 Bread Maker?

  Ms. Kelsey SantiagoAug 26, 2025
  If the dough in your First Bread Maker is so large that it overflows the bread pan, it's likely that you've used too many liquids, making the dough too soft, or that you've used too much yeast. Reduce the amount of liquids you're using and improve the dough's rigidity.

Why does my First FA-5152-2 bread collapse in the middle?

  Jose DominguezAug 27, 2025
  If the bread from your First Bread Maker is collapsing in the middle while baking, it's likely because the flour you're using isn't strong enough to make the dough rise properly. Use bread flour or strong powder instead.

Why is the bread from my First FA-5152-2 too small or not rising?
- W
  Walter GayAug 30, 2025
  If the bread from your First Bread Maker is too small or doesn't rise, it may be due to insufficient or inactive yeast. Ensure you're using enough yeast and that it's still active. Yeast activity can be affected if the water temperature is too high, if it's mixed directly with salt, or if the environment is too cold. Increase the environment temperature properly.

  If the bread from your First Bread Maker has a very large weight and a dense texture, it's likely due to too much flour or not enough water. Reduce the amount of flour or increase the amount of water in your recipe.

Why does my First FA-5152-2 bread have hollow middle parts?
- K
  Kenneth LittleSep 3, 2025
  If, after cutting the bread from your First Bread Maker, you notice hollow middle parts, it's probably because there's too much water or yeast in the recipe, or not enough salt. Reduce the amount of water or yeast and check the salt level.

Why is the crust on my First FA-5152-2 bread too thick?
- M
  Mary ScottSep 5, 2025
  If the crust of your bread from First Bread Maker is too thick, it may be because you kept the bread warm and left it in the bread pan for too long, causing it to lose too much water. Take the bread out sooner and avoid keeping it warm in the bread maker.

Why is my First FA-5152-2 Bread Maker smoking during baking?
- S
  samanthasuarezSep 7, 2025
  If you notice smoke coming from the ventilation hole of your First Bread Maker during baking, it's likely because some ingredients have stuck to the heating element, or if it's the first time you're using it, there may be oil remaining on the element's surface. Unplug the bread maker and carefully clean the heating element, taking care not to burn yourself. During the first use, run the bread maker dry with the lid open.
