Panasonic SD-253 Breadmaker (Eardisley, HR3)

This is a full-size breadmaker. A few months agoI was very kindly given it by a Freecycler who was totally honest about its condition, which is that the lining of the pan is worn away. She said that she got very good results so long as she greased the pan. She also said that she had now bought a new breadmaker.
I used it once and it works (though the raisin dispenser didn't open properly) but, not long afterwards, I came across the suggestion that it was not safe to use a breadmaker pan with a worn non-stick coating.
I have not used it since.
I am reluctant to take it to the tip as it is possible to buy replacement parts.
