I have just been given a Sunbeam bread maker. When making my first loaf today the dough wrapped around the paddle and when it finished baking I couldn't get the loaf out without destroying it. How is this prevented? The paddles do not seem to be removable.

You can grease the pan, especially around the paddle.
Pam Baking spray is the best ever!!! And it does not add calories!!!
There seems to be a lot of controversy about how to keep this from happening as it seems to be presenting a problem for lots of bread bakers.
If you do research you will find the majority of users remove the paddles before the bread is finished (thereby eliminating this problem and also eliminating the large hole in the bread).
I think you may have to do several in different ways and decide which works best for you.
If you do not have a manual for your bread maker you can probably find a free one on the web with your brand and model number.
Here are a couple of links that I thought had some good suggestions so maybe when you have time you may wish to check them out.

What you are describing is why most of my friends stopped using their machines for the full bake and use it only to do the knead and rise process, removing the dough before it started to bake in the device and baking in the oven.
Does the basket you bake in come out? If so, you can try to carefully remove the pan after the machine bakes the bread, cover the top with a towel (rubber band it to the pan), turn the pan upside down on another towel or plate and often as it cools, it will pop out on its own. Kind of luck if you ever baked a bundt cake.
You will still have the paddle holes on the bottom, but it usually does not destroy the bread, although with softer, crumbly breads sometimes it does (which goes back to why most people I know only use the machine for the working part and bake in the oven).
The newer machines have collapsible paddles which still leaves holes, but not the paddle marks.
I hope the flip method helps. Post back with updates!
In some models, it is easy to remove the paddles and in others the paddles cannot be removed. You can try using a cooking spray such a Pam inside the machine to make it easier to remove the bread. I do not use a bread machine for this reason.
