Bread Pan & Kneading Blades
The most important thing when cleaning your Home Bakery is to keep the non-stick
coating of the bread pan and kneading blades in good order. Never use metal utensils
to remove loaves, cakes or jam from the bread pan, as this will damage the non-stick
coating.
Avoid using strong detergents and don’t put the pan or kneading blades in the
dishwasher. The strong detergent used in dishwasher tablets or liquids can damage
the non-stick coating in the long term. If you can get away with just using water to
clean the pan then just use water.
After making a loaf a simple wipe round the pan with a damp cloth should be
sufficient. If necessary, you can part fill the pan with water and leave it to soak for an
hour (but no longer) to release any stubborn dough/bread fragments.
After making a cake or jam 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. Jam can be particularly
stubborn so use hot water and a tiny amount of washing up liquid if absolutely
necessary.
The oven
Since most of the ingredients are loaded into the bread pan away from the oven it
should not need to be cleaned too often. However, if you have an accidental spill or
overflow,
wait for the oven to cool completely
then wipe round with a damp cloth
moistened with a mild detergent solution then wipe dry.
The Machine
A simple wipe with a cloth moistened in a mild detergent solution should be
sufficient.
IN ALL CASES ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS COLD AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING
