4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care of your paddle will extend its lifespan and ensure optimal performance.

• Cleaning After Use: After each bread-making cycle, allow the bread pan and paddle to cool. Carefully remove the paddle from the bread pan.
• Hand Wash Only: Wash the paddle by hand using warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to remove any dough residue.
• Rinse and Dry: Rinse the paddle thoroughly under running water to remove all soap. Dry the paddle completely with a clean cloth before storing or re-installing it in the bread pan.
• Avoid Immersion: Do not immerse the entire bread maker unit in water. Only the removable bread pan and paddle should be washed.

5. Troubleshooting

• Paddle Not Turning: Ensure the paddle is fully seated on the drive shaft. Check for any hardened dough or foreign objects obstructing the paddle's movement or the drive shaft.
• Dough Sticking to Paddle: It is common for dough to stick to the paddle during kneading. Ensure you are using the correct ingredient ratios as specified in your bread maker's recipe book. The paddle may sometimes remain embedded in the baked loaf; carefully remove it once the bread has cooled.
• Paddle Loose or Wobbling: Re-check that the paddle is pressed firmly onto the drive shaft. If it continues to be loose, inspect the drive shaft for wear or damage.
