Over time, crumbs/ingredients have dried onto the inside of the machine. Would a bicarb paste work or not with the element being exposed? I should really read my manual !

    I just hoovered out the crumbs etc in mine, and wiped it down with a damp cloth. But not had it long. Off to re read my manual,
    Sorry not a lot of help.

    Thanks, but this is kind of baked on. I will definitely have to find where the manual is, but from memory I don't think it ever had any tips for this I think like you have said it uust advises to wipe with soapy water. Will report back :D

    What about filling it with some hot soapy water and leaving it for a few hours?I've only ever wiped mine with a damp cloth.I'm not sure about using something abrasive,even if it is just bicarb.

    :eek: Sorry, I wouldn't advise this. Would imagine it would render the bread maker unusable, as in broken! I think that the OP is talking about the actual interior of the breadmaker, not the loaf pan.

    I've only ever wiped mine with a damp cloth, so can't help OP.

    Oh checked my manual, says
    wipe with a damp cloth but be careful to avoid damaging the temperature sensor.!
    Help full. .. not.
    I would put a damp cloth over the burnt bit and leave it for a while... to see if that softens it enough
    Sorry can't be more help.
