Setup and Installation

1. Ensure Safety: Before installing the new paddle, ensure your Welbilt ABM4900 bread machine is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Remove Old Paddle (if applicable): If replacing an existing paddle, carefully remove the old paddle from the bread pan's shaft. It may require a gentle twist or pull.
3. Clean the Shaft: Clean any residue or dough from the bread pan's mixing shaft to ensure a secure fit for the new paddle.
4. Install New Paddle: Align the square opening of the new paddle with the square shaft inside the bread pan. Push the paddle firmly onto the shaft until it sits securely at the bottom of the pan.
5. Verify Installation: Gently try to rotate the paddle by hand to ensure it is properly seated and can move freely without obstruction.

Operating Instructions

Once the paddle is securely installed, you can operate your Welbilt ABM4900 bread machine as usual. Refer to your original bread machine manual for specific recipes, program settings, and operational guidelines.

• Ingredient Placement: Always place ingredients into the bread pan according to your recipe, ensuring the paddle is at the bottom.
• Mixing and Kneading: The paddle will automatically mix and knead the ingredients during the selected bread cycle.
• Paddle Removal (Post-Bake): After baking, allow the bread to cool slightly. The paddle may be embedded in the loaf. Carefully remove the bread from the pan and then remove the paddle using a non-abrasive tool if necessary.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your replacement paddle.

• Cleaning: The paddle should be hand washed only. Do not place it in a dishwasher, as this can damage the non-stick coating or material. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to remove any dough residue.
• Drying: Thoroughly dry the paddle after washing to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Storage: Store the paddle in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Paddle Not Mixing:
  • Ensure the paddle is correctly seated on the bread pan's shaft.
  • Verify that the bread pan is properly installed in the bread machine.
  • Check if the bread machine itself is powered on and the correct program is selected.
• Dough Sticking to Paddle:
  • Ensure the paddle is clean before use.
  • Lightly grease the paddle with cooking oil or spray before adding ingredients, especially for sticky doughs.
• Paddle Damaged:
