Can't remove pan from my NEW Breadman Bread Maker...

Question

I put the pan in to burn off new mineral oil as they suggest in the manuel. Now I want to make my first loaf of bread and the pan won't release. It is held in by some kind of clamps under the pans handle. I can't release the pan from the clamps. I read that you are to pull the handle straight up. My older Breadman you did a slight turn to release the pan. Please help me.Suzanne
