CLEAN AFTER EACH USE
DO NOT IMMERSE BOTTOM OF BREAD PAN IN WATER!
The bread pan is not immersible and should never be washed in an automatic dishwasher. This can cause damage to the bearing that
turns the knead bar and reduce the non-stick qualities of the coating, causing the bread to stick.
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.
SPECIAL NOTE: The exposed metal pins on the knead bar hubs must be kept clean of any starchy flour residue to ensure proper
performance. If not kept clean, the blades will not be able to move up and down for kneading of the dough. For easier cleaning of
these pins, use a corner of knead bar blade to scrape pin surface clean while flushing under water. See Diagram 20.
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.
3. Reassemble knead bars and position back onto correct shafts in bottom of pan. See Diagrams 8 and 9 on page 15.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse bread maker base, its cord or plug in water or other
liquid.
4. 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 90 degrees and lift up to disengage from hinge pins. 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 socket openings over hinge pins. Lower door onto pins. Door should move freely from side to side
after being replaced. See Diagram 5 on page 9 for removing and replacing door.
