VII. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Turn off and disconnect the appliance from power supply by unplugging the plug
from electric socket before maintenance! Clean cooled down appliance only and
after every use! Before the first use, we recommend coating the baking pan, the baguette
baking form and the kneading blades with heat resistant fat and warm them in the baker
for about 10 minutes. Clean (polish) the baking pan from the fat using a paper napkin after
cooling down. This is to protect the non-adhesive surface. Repeat the procedure after some
time, if required. Use a mild detergent for cleaning. Do not use chemicals, gasoline, oven
cleaners or abrasive or otherwise damaging detergents. Use a dampen rag to remove all the
ingredients and crumbs from the lid, housing and baking space.
Before every other use,
dry all parts and surface of the bread maker thoroughly (e.g. moisture condensation).
Never soak the bread baker in water or fill the baking space with water! Wipe the outer
areas of the baking pan with a dampen rag. Use a detergent to clean inner areas of the pan
and the baguette baking form. Clean the blades and shafts immediately after use. If the
blades are retained in the pan, it will be harder to remove them out. In this case, fill the pan
with hot water and let it standing for about 30 minutes. Then, remove the kneading blades.
Do not soak the baking pan in water for too long; rotation of shafts would be impaired. The
baking pan is coated by a non-adhesive coating. Do not use metal tools with potential to
scratch the surface. It is normal when the surface colour changes over time. However, this
change has no effect on the surface properties.
Storage
Ensure the bread maker is cold before storage. Store the bread maker in a safe and dry
place, out of the reach of children and incapacitated people.
