Care and cleaning
Caution
To prevent electrical shock, unplug the unit before
cleaning. Wait until the Breadmaker has cooled prior
to cleaning. Do not immerse or splash either the body
or lid in any liquid as this may cause damage and/or
electric shock.
For best performance and maintenance, it
is recommended to clean the Breadmaker
after each use as follows:
Outer body, lid and inner case
Wipe the lid and outer body of the unit with a
damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge. Use a damp
sponge or cloth to wipe out any flour, crumbs, or other
materials from the inner case.
Baking pan and kneading blade
Both the baking pan
and kneading blade have a
non-stick coated surface.
Do not use any harsh
cleansers, abrasive
materials or utensils which
may scratch their surfaces.
Over time, the non-stick
surface may change in
appearance due to
moisture and steam. This is
normal and has no effect
on its use or quality.
Remove the baking
pan and kneading blade
from the inner case before
cleaning. To remove the
blade from the baking
pan, hold the drive
underneath the base of
the pan and turn the
blade clockwise. If
required, rotate the blade
back and forth a few times and remove in a clockwise
direction.
If you still have difficulty removing the blade, fill
the baking pan with hot, but not boiling, water and
allow to soak for 30 minutes. This should loosen the
blade enough for it to be removed.
Wipe the outside of the baking pan with a damp
cloth. You may hand wash the inside of the baking
pan with soapy water. The drive shaft on the inside
base of the pan should also be cleaned. Alternatively,
the baking pan can be washed in a dishwasher.
The hole in the centre of the kneading blade
should be cleaned with a plastic or wooden tooth pick
and a drop of cooking oil put in the hole to prevent
sticking.
Do not use any of these when
cleaning your breadmaker:
• Paint Thinner
• Benzine
• Steel Wool
Pads
• Polishing
Powder
• Chemical
Dustcloth
Storing the unit
Be sure to dry all parts before storing including
wiping any moisture from the Viewing Window. Close
the Lid and do not store anything on top of the Lid.
