It is recommended to clean the bread maker after each 

use. See "Before First Use" on page 

10

 for important initial 

cleaning guidelines.

1.  Unplug the power cord. Allow the bread maker 

and all accessories to completely cool before 

disassembling and cleaning.

2.  Remove the baking pan and stirring paddle from 

the baking cavity and clean with warm, soapy 

water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Soak the stirring 

paddle in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes if you 

cannot remove it from the baking pan.

3.  Check if any ingredients spilled inside the baking 

cavity. Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth if 

needed, then wipe dry.

4.  Wash all accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse 

and dry thoroughly.

5.  Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel body clean 

with a damp cloth, then wipe dry.

6.  Place the clean, empty baking pan and stirring 

paddle securely into the bread maker.

7.  Dry and reassemble all parts.
8.  To store your bread maker, make sure the lid 

is closed, and place all accessories inside the 

baking pan. Do not place heavy objects on top of 

the bread maker.

Note:

·  All accessories are top-

rack dishwasher safe. 

However, hand washing 

is recommended to 

extend the life of the 

materials and nonstick 

coatings.

·  Some discoloration of 

the baking pan may 

appear over time. This is 

a natural effect caused 

by moisture and steam 

and will not affect the 

bread in any way.

· Any other servicing 

should be performed by 

Aroma® Housewares.

Troubleshooting

Caution:

Do not immerse the 

stainless steel body 

in water or place in a 

dishwasher. 
To avoid damaging 

the machine, do not 

use scrubbing brushes 

or chemical cleaners 

on the bread maker or 

accessories. Instead, 

use only a mild, non-

abrasive cleaner.
Take care to prevent 

water or cleaning fluids 

from seeping under the 

digital controls or digital 

display. Never apply 

cleaner directly to the 

surface of the bread 

maker. Always apply to 

a cloth or sponge first. 
Do not use abrasive 

cleansers, metal 

scouring pads or metal 

utensils  on the nonstick 

surface of the baking 

pan, as they may 

damage the finish.
