Ensure that the kneading blades are properly installed on the shafts at the bottom of the bread pan before adding any ingredients. If the blades are missing or obstructing, the dough will not mix correctly.
Regular cleaning involves washing the basket and stem in warm, soapy water. The urn body should be rinsed and wiped down. Periodically, a special cleaning with white distilled vinegar is recommended to remove mineral deposits that can affect performance.
