3. Wash the loaf tin and paddle in warm soapy water, rinse, then dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe all other surfaces, internal and external, with a damp cloth. Use a little washing-up liquid if
necessary, but be sure to clean it all off, otherwise it might taint the next lot of bread.
• If the paddle has stuck to its shaft, fill the loaf tin with warm water. This should soften any dough
residues and allow the paddle to be removed. Don’t leave it to soak.
• If the inside of the paddle gets clogged with flour, soak it in warm water, then dig out the softened
flour with a wooden cocktail stick.
• Make sure everything is dry before reusing the breadmaker or storing it away.
• Don’t immerse the breadmaker in water or any other liquid.
• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• You may wash the loaf tin and paddles in a dishwasher, but we don’t recommend this, as the harsh
environment inside the dishwasher may affect the surface finishes. If you do, then you must put the
paddle, on its own, in a compartment of the cutlery basket.
