Go down sides with spatula-then before trying to remove bread put hand underneath and pull towards you-as if you were kneading the dough manually-should come away easily-then remove paddle. Now i have never used a breadmaker but this is how our technical guys do it

That is what I am doing Millman, but these paddles really get a grip on the bread. It is nicely loose all the way around. Actually, the grip is so fierce, I have to loosen them in water before I can get them up for washing. This is when the pan is empty of course.

Has it been like it from the first time you used it?
The paddle on mine sits on a spindle in the center of the pan. Sometimes I find flour gets in between the paddle and the spindle causing it to grip tight.
If it has done it from the outset, take it back, it shouldn't be causing you problems like that.

I have only used it when husband is not around, or he would have it back in a flash. I have only used it twice. Steve's is a Russell Hobbs. Do you have this trouble Steve?

You should take it back.
Your consumer rights say it must be fit for purpose and your machine is not. If you don't like complaining, get your husband to do it for you, you shouldn't have to struggle, it takes the fun out of something which should be simple.

I turn the basket upside down and give it a tap or two and a shake and the bread usually drops out, I would say 4 out of 5 times the paddle sticks in the bread but I just prize it out with a knife

The paddle always gets stuck in my bread, if it doesn't the bread gets stuck in the pan

I will try again. You are not supposed to use a knife as it can scratch the non-stick finish on the baking tin.

I wonder if the lining of your pan is faulty Cherry?....I made a loaf today; tipped it up (after cooling for an hour) and it just dropped out.....

The paddle never (well I have only made two) comes away in the bread. I wish it did. That way it would not get squashed and I could easily prise the bread away from the paddle, or even vice versa. It is very firmly placed on the things that fit on the drives.

Husband is now reading the instruction book. He can't see what my problem is.

It does not sound right to me, my paddle comes away easily.
What did the book say?

Well it caused some shouting and I can't follow simple instructions. It says to shake it. Get the picture WF.
The paddles may wear looser with use.

Cherry just a thought - when you put the paddle in the machine you don't press it down on the thingy too hard do you? My paddle gets stuck in my loaf but the loaf always comes out of the tin ok I'm probably not helping much - sorry
