To clean your breadmaker, unplug it and let it cool. Remove the baking pan and kneading blade and wash them with warm, soapy water. Wipe the interior and exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the breadmaker in water.
Ensure you are using fresh yeast and measuring the ingredients accurately. Check the expiration date on the yeast and ensure the water is at the correct temperature. Also, avoid opening the lid during the baking process as it can affect the rise.
If the kneading blade is stuck, fill the pan with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. This should loosen any dough residue. Gently wiggle the blade to remove it.
To prevent sticking, ensure the pan is clean and dry before use. Lightly coat the inside with cooking spray or use a small amount of oil. Additionally, make sure to remove the bread promptly after baking.
The West Bend L5225 41048 Breadmaker can handle up to a 2-pound loaf. Ensure not to exceed this limit to avoid overflow and ensure proper baking.
To use the delay timer, add your ingredients to the breadmaker, select your desired program, and then set the timer to the number of hours you want the baking process to be delayed. Press start to activate the timer.
A loud noise during kneading could be due to the machine being placed on an uneven surface. Ensure the breadmaker is on a stable, flat surface. Also, check that the kneading blade and the pan are properly seated.

If your breadmaker stops mid-cycle, check to ensure it is plugged in securely and that there is no power outage. If the issue persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual or contact customer service.
Store your breadmaker in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean and the lid is slightly ajar to prevent odors. Keep the power cord coiled loosely to prevent damage.
