The manual does not explicitly state whether the blade or paddle should be removed for cleaning when bread particles get stuck underneath. However, it does mention unplugging the machine before cleaning and allowing it to cool. It also advises against using metal utensils to remove ingredients or bread to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
