What to do if smoke appears from the Qilive Bread Maker when baking?
- C
  Carrie MannAug 16, 2025
  If you notice smoke coming from the vents during baking, it could be due to manufacturing oil on the heating element. Try baking with no ingredients for 10 minutes, then open the lid and let it cool. Alternatively, some ingredients might be stuck to the heating element or nearby. In this case, unplug the bread maker and carefully clean the heating element, ensuring it's not hot.

Why is my Qilive Bread Maker bread collapsing in the middle?
- C
  Christopher ContrerasAug 18, 2025
  If your bread collapses in the middle while baking, it could be due to several reasons. The flour might not be strong enough, so try using strong bread flour. Alternatively, the yeast might be rising too quickly, or it's too warm, so use room temperature yeast. Also, too much water can make the dough too wet, so reduce the amount of water you're using.

  Christian CooperAug 21, 2025
  If your bread is touching the lid or overflowing from the bread pan, you may have used too much yeast, flour, or water, or the room temperature may be too hot. Try using less yeast, flour, and/or water in a cooler environment.

  Jessica FreemanAug 25, 2025
  If your bread is very heavy and dense, it could be due to too much flour or too little water. Try reducing the amount of flour or increasing the amount of water. It could also be caused by too much fruit or whole wheat flour. Reduce the fruit or flour level and increase the yeast.

  Samantha KelleyAug 27, 2025
  If you hear the motor running but the dough isn't mixing, the bread pan might not be inserted correctly, or the dough might be too large to be stirred. Try removing and reinserting the bread pan and check your recipe measurements.

Why is my Qilive Bread Maker bread surface sticky or powdery?
- M
  Michelle PerezAug 31, 2025
  A sticky or powdery bread surface can occur if you're using ingredients like butter or starchy foods such as bananas. You should reduce or avoid adding such ingredients. It can also happen if the ingredients aren't mixed well enough or if there's too little water. Check the water level and make sure the kneading paddle is working correctly.

Why are middle parts hollow after cutting the bread from my Qilive Bread Maker?
- K
  Kristin AyalaSep 2, 2025
  Hollow parts in the middle of your bread could be caused by excessive water or yeast, or too little or no salt. Reduce the amount of water or yeast and ensure you're using salt. High water temperature can also be a factor, so reduce the water temperature.

Why is the crust too thick and dark on my Qilive Bread Maker when making cakes?
- A
  agutierrezSep 5, 2025
  If the crust is too thick and the baking color is too dark when making cakes or foods with excessive sugar, it's likely because the sugar is causing the crust to cook faster. If the baking color is too dark, stop the program 5-10 minutes before it ends. Before removing bread you should keep the bread or cake in the bread pan for about 20 minutes with lid closed.

Why is the bread poorly mixed and unevenly cooked in my Qilive Bread Maker?
- R
  Robert MoranSep 8, 2025
  Poorly mixed, unevenly cooked bread with no crust color can result from several issues. Ensure you're using the correct program menu. Avoid opening the lid during the last rise. If the dough is too firm, the kneading paddle might not rotate correctly. Check the kneading paddle and drive shaft for clogs. Remove the bread pan and operate without load; if it doesn't work normally, contact an authorized service agent.

Why is the bottom crust of my Qilive Bread Maker bread too thick?
- D
  Dana HaleySep 12, 2025
  If the bottom crust of your bread is too thick, it might be because the bread is left in the machine for too long after baking. Try keeping the bread warm for a shorter time.
