Product Overview

The SP47LL paddle is a crucial component for your bread maker, responsible for mixing and kneading ingredients to form dough. Its robust construction ensures durability and efficient performance.
Setup and Installation
- Safety First: Ensure your bread maker is unplugged from the power outlet before attempting any installation or removal of parts.
- Remove Old Paddle (if applicable): If replacing an existing paddle, carefully pull the old paddle upwards off the drive shaft located at the bottom of the bread pan.
- Clean Bread Pan: Before installing the new paddle, ensure the bread pan and the drive shaft are clean and free from any food debris.
- Install New Paddle: Align the opening at the base of the new SP47LL paddle with the drive shaft in the bread pan. Push the paddle down firmly until it sits securely on the shaft. It should rotate freely but remain attached.
- Verify Installation: Gently tug on the paddle to ensure it is properly seated and will not come loose during operation.
Operating Instructions
Once the paddle is correctly installed, you can proceed with using your bread maker as per its original instruction manual. The paddle will automatically engage during the kneading cycles.
- Ensure the paddle is always in place before adding ingredients to the bread pan.
- Add ingredients in the order specified by your bread maker's recipe or manual.
- The paddle will mix and knead the dough according to the selected program.
- After baking, allow the bread to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. The paddle may be embedded in the loaf; carefully remove it using a non-abrasive utensil.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the paddle is essential for hygiene and optimal performance.
- After Each Use: After removing the bread, detach the paddle from the drive shaft.
- Washing: Wash the paddle immediately in warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to remove any dough residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating (if present).
- Stubborn Residue: If dough is stuck, soak the paddle in warm water for a few minutes to loosen the residue before cleaning.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the paddle before storing or re-installing it in the bread pan.
- Storage: Store the paddle in a clean, dry place.
Troubleshooting
