Setup and Installation

The Piebert Kneading Hook is a replacement component for compatible Severin bread makers. Ensure your bread maker is unplugged and cooled before handling any internal parts.

1. Verify Compatibility: Confirm that your bread maker model is one of the compatible Severin models: BM3980, BM3982, or BM3983.
2. Prepare Bread Pan: Remove the bread pan from your bread maker.
3. Install Kneading Hook: Place the kneading hook onto the drive shaft at the bottom of the bread pan. Ensure it is seated firmly and correctly. The square opening in the hook should align with the square shaft.
4. Secure Pan: Return the bread pan with the installed kneading hook to the bread maker, ensuring it is securely locked in place according to your bread maker's instructions.

Note: If the kneading hook does not fit properly, do not force it. Re-check compatibility or contact support.

Operating Instructions

Once the kneading hook is correctly installed in the bread pan, operate your Severin bread maker as per its original instruction manual. The kneading hook will perform its function during the kneading cycles of your chosen bread program.

• Before Baking: Ensure the kneading hook is clean and properly seated on the drive shaft.
• During Baking: The kneading hook will remain in the bread pan throughout the kneading and baking process.
• After Baking: After the bread has finished baking and cooled slightly, carefully remove the bread from the pan.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care of your kneading hook will extend its lifespan and maintain its non-stick properties.

Removal from Bread

• To remove the kneading hook from the baked loaf, use a specialized removal hook (often supplied with your bread maker).
• Caution: Do not use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the kneading hook, as this can damage the QuanTanium coating.

Cleaning Instructions

• The kneading hook is suitable for dishwasher cleaning.
• For gentle cleaning, hand washing with clean water and a small amount of mild detergent is recommended.

The kneading hook features a QuanTanium coating, which provides non-stick properties and durability. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage this coating.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Piebert Kneading Hook, consider the following:

• Hook Does Not Fit: Ensure your bread maker is one of the compatible Severin models (BM3980, BM3982, BM3983). If your model is not listed, the hook may not be compatible.
• Hook Stuck in Bread: Allow the bread to cool slightly before attempting removal. Use a plastic or wooden tool, or the specialized removal hook, to gently dislodge it. Avoid metal utensils.
• Damaged Coating: If the non-stick coating appears damaged, ensure you are following the cleaning and removal instructions carefully. Sharp objects can cause damage.
