Maintenance Features:
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the bread maker.
- Safety Precautions: Before cleaning, the appliance must be unplugged and allowed to cool. Abrasive cleaners, dishwashers, gasoline, solvents, alcohol, and bleach should not be used.
- Cleaning Components:
- Lid and Steam Vent: Wipe with a damp cloth.
- Bread Pan and Kneading Blade: Remove any dough residue and wash with water. If the kneading blade is difficult to remove, soak it in warm water for 5-10 minutes. The bread pan should not be submerged in water.
- Measuring Spoon and Cup: Wash with water.
- Body: Wipe with a damp cloth, being careful not to damage the temperature sensor.
- Dispenser Lid (SD-2501 only): Remove and wash with water. Lift the lid to approximately 75 degrees to detach it. Care should be taken not to damage the seal.
- Raisin/Nut Dispenser (SD-2501 only): Remove and wash after each use to remove residue.
- Non-Stick Coating Protection: The bread pan and kneading blade have a non-stick coating. To prevent damage, users should avoid using hard or sharp utensils (knives, forks) when removing bread or the kneading blade. Soft sponges should be used for cleaning. Hard, coarse, or large ingredients like whole wheat flour, sugar, nuts, or seeds can damage the coating if not properly prepared or used in excessive amounts.
- Self-Diagnosis Mode: The manual outlines a self-diagnosis mode for troubleshooting, including checks for power failure, sensor disconnection, high temperature alerts, and tests for the solenoid and motor. This mode helps identify issues with printed circuit boards and other components.
- Disassembly and Assembly Instructions: Detailed instructions with diagrams are provided for disassembling and assembling various parts, such as the dispenser lid, upper lid, body, solenoid, printed circuit boards, pulley, motor, heating element, and temperature sensor. These instructions emphasize safety precautions, such as wearing gloves to avoid injury from metal edges and not reusing damaged printed circuit boards.
- Post-Assembly Check: After reassembly, insulation resistance, insulation voltage, and operational response checks are recommended to ensure proper functioning.
