Bread Pan & Kneading Blade
The most important thing when cleaning your Home Bakery is to keep the non-stick coating
of the bread pan and kneading blade in good order. Never use metal utensils to remove
loaves or cakes from the bread pan, as this will damage the non-stick coating.
Ideally, the pan should not be washed at all, because modern concentrated detergents will,
over a period of time, cause deterioration of the non-stick surface.
The most effective method of cleaning is to wait until the pan is cool and then simply wipe it
out with a cloth or piece of kitchen towel moistened with a small amount of cooking oil.
The pan reaches a sufficiently high temperature during cooking, to ensure that any bacteria
that may be present, is effectively killed.
It should also be noted that regular use of Granary type recipes with coarse grains will,
because of their abrasive nature, cause wear.
After making a cake it is very likely that the bread pan will need to be soaked. However,
avoid immersing the whole pan in water as this may damage the seals under the kneading
blade shafts. The best method is to simply fill the pan with water, leave to soak for an hour
then wipe round with a cloth.
The Machine
Since most of the ingredients are loaded into the bread pan away from the machine it
should not need to be cleaned too often. However, if you have an accidental spill or
overflow, wait for the machine to cool completely then wipe round with a damp cloth
moistened with a mild detergent solution then wipe dry.
IN ALL CASES ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS COLD AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING
