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.
