Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your bread maker.
- Always Unplug and Cool: Before cleaning, always unplug the bread maker from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.

Wash the bread pan and kneading paddle with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the bread maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do NOT immerse the main unit in water or pour water directly onto it.
- Lid: The lid can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Be careful not to let water seep into the viewing window or control panel area.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing the bread maker in a clean, dry place.
The non-stick bread pan is easily removable for cleaning.
