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. If required, rotate
the blade back and forth a
few times and pull to
remove.
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.
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.
The kneading blade should be removed
and cleaned after each use.
If the blade remains in the base of the loaf
of bread, carefully remove and clean.
Do not use any of these when
cleaning your breadmaker:
• Paint Thinner
• Benzine
• Steel Wool
Pads
• Polishing
Powder
• Chemical
Dustcloth
CAUTION:
None of the breadmaker parts are dishwasher
safe. DO NOT place the baking pan or kneading
blade in the dishwasher. Never submerge the
baking pan in water.
Special care for the non-stick finish.
Avoid damaging the coating. Do not use metal
utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks.
The coating may change colour after long use, this
is only caused by moisture and steam and will not
affect the performance of the unit or quality of your
bread.
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.
The electrical cord
The cord length of this appliance has been selected
to reduce the possibility of tangling or tripping over a
longer cord. If additional cord length is needed, an
extension cord rated not less than 13 amperes, 240
volts and BS certified, may be used. If using an
extension, be sure to arrange it so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped on.

and problems with ingredients or recipes are addressed
