Cleaning the baking pan and kneading blade

1 Wipe the baking pan and kneading blade with a damp cloth and dry completely.

2 DO NOT wash the pan or parts in the dishwasher. This will damage the finish of the pan and the other parts.

Caring for your breadmaker

1 Keep your breadmaker clean at all times.

Caution: Do not use metal utensils with the breadmaker. This will damage the non-stick pan and other parts.

2 Don’t worry if the color of the bread pan changes over time. The color change is a result of steam and other moisture and does not affect the machine’s performance.

3 If you have trouble removing the kneading blade, place warm water in the bread pan for 10–15 minutes and this will loosen the blade.
