1.Unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow bread maker to cool before cleaning.
2.The bread pan and knead bar must be cleaned after each use to ensure performance. After bread is removed from pan, fill pan half full with warm water and small amount of dish soap. Set pan in empty sink or on hot pad and allow to soak for 5 to 10 minutes or until knead bar can be lifted off shaft. Twist bar slightly to loosen. The knead bar must soak in water before it can be removed. Wash inside of pan and knead bar with a soft cloth, rinse and dry. Replace bar on shaft.
Be sure that shaft in pan is kept clean so that knead bar fits properly. DO NOT use any type of utensil or tool to clean the gasket around the shaft as damage will occur and result in leakage. DO NOT use any abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on bread pan or knead bar as damage to finish can occur. The coating inside of bread pan may change color over time, which is normal and does not affect the bread or dough. CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.
3.Wipe inside of chamber and outside surfaces of bread maker with a damp cloth if necessary. The cover is removable for cleaning if needed. Simply open it 45 degrees and pull toward you. Wipe cover with a damp, soapy cloth and dry. DO NOT immerse cover in water or place in automatic dishwasher as water will get in between the parts and cause damage.
Replace cover by aligning attachment hooks into hinge on back of bread maker. Cover should move freely up and down after being replaced. See “Parts of Bread Maker”.
