Difficult to remove the bread from the pan
The bread is sticking to the pan
If it is found that the bread is sticking and is difficult to
remove from the pan, it is recommended that the
surface of the pan is oiled before every use.
Wash the pan in hot soapy water and thoroughly dry,
using a piece of scrunched paper kitchen roll, liberally
coat the inner surface of the non stick pan with oil,
butter or margarine of your choice. Follow the guide
on page 8, ‘how to use your breadmaker’. When the
bread pan is removed from the machine after the
baking programme allow the bread to cool in the pan
for 15 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool.
Only slice the bread when fully cooled after 20-40
minutes
