How do you clean the paddle so that it allows the dough to go into the extruder?

I have an older model so I remove all of the machine's parts that are removable . Next, remove any large pieces of dough manually and then put those parts into a sink of warm soapy water to soak for about 30 mins

My trick is that i set a timer to alert me when the punchdown has happened, then i pull out the pan, dump the punched-down dough ball on a sheet of wax paper, remove the paddle *then*, and replace the dough ball in the machine, replace the pan, and allow the program to complete. That way you just have a little hole in the bottom of your loaf where the shaft sticks up.

I would suggest allowing it to get super dried out and try to remove as much as you can with a stiff paint brush or other stiff brush - not wire. Dough needs to be on the dry side with the inside heavily flour dusted prior to placing your dough in the banneton.

You can wash it (scrub the excess out) and let it dry and you are ready to go. I find with a very wet dough that it usually does that but i just let it dry and use it again because i only wash or clean mine every three months or so.

I would let it dry well and then use a stiff brush to remove the dried dough and then I always use an air compressor to blow all the excess flour out of it. Also before I put dough in it, I not only dust the basket with flour, I press the dough into all the crevices well so that you get that defined look and don't have your dough stick so badly. I hope this helps.

To keep the paddles from sticking, I always drop a teaspoon or, truth be told, even a tablespoon of oil on each paddle before I place the first ingredients into the pan. Then, after baking, if the paddles still stick, I lay the hot pan on its side (holding it with kitchen mitts) and wiggle the undersides of the paddles until they spin. At that point, I can turn the pan upside down and the loaf falls out onto the cutting board without a problem. Let me know if this works for you, too.

Hi! Usually when I finish baking a loaf I remove the pan and move the wire handle over, tapping the bottom of the baking pan, which causes the loaf to fall away. This leaves the paddle still attached in the bottom of the baking pan. There is a small, slash-shaped hole in the bottom of the loaf of bread. I generally do not have to remove the paddle from the loaf itself. Does this answer your question? Caryn Sova

Use 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar and steam it out to clean the steamer and get a better flow from it.

Mine has a drawer that pulls out and I just rinse it out with warm water. Then insert it back in machine. I don't see any other way to clean it.

Put warm water with a little dishwashing detergent and let it soak. I've been lightly coating the blades and inside of pan with cooking oil. It helps the bread come out of the pan easier, too.

I take the bread out 10 minutes ahead of the end of its cycle to avoid a crust that is too dry. (I use the gluten-free setting, so that may not be the solution for you?). I also pull the paddles after the kneading cycle.

I use Pam spray with flour. Also make sure to let them cool slightly not to disturb their delicate shape. Also a small spatula around edge works to slightly loosen more sticky batters. Janice H.

Rinse the spout and inside of pouch with hot water. Use a bottle nipple brush to clean any particles and put in top rack of dish washer

Love, love it. Regarding the paddle, I use a chopstick or skewer to very gently extract the paddle. Those slices around the center will have a small hole and sometimes to avoid this, I make the dough in the machine and bake in a loaf pan in the oven. I highly recommend this machine along with Lora Brody's book Bread Machine Baking that has specifically formulated recipes for this size machine - perfect every time!

I agree with the pasta being too moist. If it comes out of the cutter as a gooey mess all stuck together, try rubbing some flour on each side of the sheet of dough and running it through. The dough actually has to be fairly dry.I run it through the first step several times, then take it down one step at a time until it is the correct thickness. I dust with flour several times during this process as well.

Before buying my 5891, I read of this 'sticking paddle' problem. Since buying, what I have been doing prior to baking, is rubbing a little oil ( butter, olive oil or whatever edible lube is close at hand ) onto the stem. My paddle has not yet stuck.

Sure, there's nothing stopping you. Although I'd think you'd want to remove it at the end of the kneading cycles. And I doubt it can be done without getting messy. Still, without the paddle the pan should still be sealed at the bottom so nothing can leak out.
