5.1 Adding Ingredients

1. Ensure the kneading paddle is correctly installed in the bread pan.
2. Add liquid ingredients first (e.g., water, milk, eggs), followed by dry ingredients (e.g., flour, sugar, salt). Create a small well in the center of the flour and add yeast last, ensuring it does not come into direct contact with liquid or salt initially.
3. For recipes requiring fruits or nuts, place them in the automatic fruit nut dispenser located on the lid. The dispenser will release them at the optimal time during the kneading cycle.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your bread maker.

6.1 Cleaning the Bread Pan and Kneading Paddle

• After use, allow the bread pan and kneading paddle to cool completely.
• The non-stick bread pan is made of premium aluminum alloy and is easy to clean. Wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as this can damage the non-stick coating.
• If the kneading paddle is stuck in the bread, allow it to cool, then fill the pan with warm water and let it soak for about 30 minutes. This will loosen the paddle for easy removal. Use the provided hook to carefully remove the paddle.
• Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before reassembling or storing.

6.2 Cleaning the Exterior

• Wipe the exterior of the bread maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
