BREAD PAN PROBLEMS

•Add warm water to the bread pan and allow the knead blade to soak before trying to remove. Follow the cleaning instructions. You may need to twist the knead blade slightly after soaking to loosen. Do not immerse the bread pan in water.

Bread sticks to bread pan/difficult to shake out

•Can happen over prolonged use – Wipe the inside of the bread pan, from the ribs down with vegetable oil or solid shortening. Or add 1 tsp. vegetable oil to the liquid in the bread pan before adding dry ingredients. Do not use vegetable spray as sticking can worsen. Or, let bread sit in bread pan for 10 minutes before shaking out. Replacement bread pan may be ordered. See Warranty section.

•Forgot to put knead blade in bread pan – Always make sure the knead blade is on the shaft in the bottom of the bread pan before adding ingredients.
