Parts Names and Instructions

Main Unit

Accessories

Bread pan and kneading blade are coated with a non-stick finish to avoid stains and to make it easier when removing bread.

To avoid damaging it, please follow the instructions below.

• Do not use hard utensils such as a knife or a fork when removing the bread from the bread pan. If the bread cannot be easily removed from the bread pan, leave the bread pan for 5 – 10 minutes to cool, making sure that it is not left unattended where somebody or something may get burnt. After that, shake the bread pan several times using oven mitts. (Hold the handle down so that it does not get in the way of bread.)
  
• Ensure that the kneading blade is not embedded in the bread loaf before slicing it. If it is embedded, wait for the loaf to cool and remove it. (Do not use hard or sharp utensils such as a knife or a fork.) Be careful not to get burn as the kneading blade may still be hot.
  
• Use the soft sponge when cleaning the bread pan and the kneading blade. Do not use anything abrasive such as cleansers or scouring pads.
• Hard, coarse or large ingredients such as flours with whole or ground grains, sugar, or the addition of nuts and seeds may damage non-stick finish coating. If using large chunks of ingredient, break or cut into small pieces. Please follow the information of Additional Ingredients and the recipe quantities stated.
  
• Use only supplied kneading blade for this appliance. The bread pan, kneading blade and bread may be very hot after baking. Always handle with care.

Bread-making Ingredients

It is extremely important to use the correct measure of ingredients for best results.

Liquid ingredients

Use the measuring cup or measuring spoon provided. If the recipes indicate a mixture (the liquid plus egg), should be weighted on scales. Using digital scale is recommended.

Dry ingredients

Should be weighed on scales or measured with measuring spoon provided for the small amounts. Using digital scale is recommended.

Flour

Main ingredient of bread. The protein in flour forms gluten during kneading. Gluten provides structure and texture and helps the bread to rise.
Use strong flour. Strong flour is milled from the wheat and has a high content of protein which is necessary for the development of gluten. Carbon dioxide produced during fermentation is trapped within the elastic network of gluten, thus making the dough rise.

White flour

Made by grinding wheat kernel, excluding bran and germ. The best kind of flour for baking bread is a flour marked "for bread baking". Do not use plain or self - raising flour as a substitute for bread flour.

Whole wheat flour

Made by grinding entire wheat kernel, including bran and germ. Makes very health-giving bread. This bread is lower in height and heavier than bread baked with white flour.

Rye flour

Made by grinding rye kernel. Contains more iron, magnesium and potassium, which contribute to good health.
Due to the low gluten content, it makes a dense, heavier bread. Do not use more than stated quantity (could overload motor).

Dry yeast

Enables the bread to rise.
Be sure to use dry yeast that does not require pre - fermentation. Do not use yeast that requires preliminary fermentation. Yeast which has 'instant yeast' or 'rapid rise yeast' written on the packet is recommended. When using dry yeast from sachets, seal the sachet again immediately after use. To store, follow the Manufacturer's instructions and discard after 48 hours of opening. It is recommended on most yeast packets to keep in a cool dry place.

Dairy products

Add flavor and nutritional value.

• If you use milk instead of water, the nutritional value of the bread will be higher, but do not use in timer setting as it may not keep fresh overnight.
  • Reduce the amount of water proportionally to the amount of milk.

Sugar

(granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey, treacle, etc.) Food for the dry yeast, sweetens and adds flavor to the bread, changes the colour of the crust.

• Use less sugar if using raisins or other fruits, which contain fructose.

Water

Use normal tap water.
When room temperature is low, use tepid water for menu 2, 7 or 10.
When room temperature is high, use chilled water for menu 4 or 5.
Always measure out liquids using the measuring cup provided.

Salt

Improves the flavor and strengthens gluten to help the bread rise.
The bread may lose size / flavor if measuring is inaccurate.

Fat

Adds flavour and softness to the bread. Use butter (unsalted), margarine or oil.

You can make your bread taste better by adding other ingredients.

• Eggs
  Improve the nutritional value and colouring of the bread. (Water amount must be reduced proportionally.) Beat eggs when adding eggs. Do not use the timer for the recipe with egg. (Eggs go rotten quickly if your room temperature is high.)
• Bran
  Increases the bread's fibre content.
  • Use max. 50 g (5 tbsp).
• Wheat germ
  Gives the bread a nuttier flavour.
  • Use max. 50 g (4 tbsp).
• Spices, herbs
  Enhance the flavour of the bread.
  • Only use a small amount (max. 1 tbsp).

If using a bread mix...

• Bread mixes including dry yeast
  1. Place the mix in the bread pan, then add water.
     (Follow instructions on the packet for the quantity of water)
  2. Select menu, choose a size according to the volume of the mix, and start the baking.
     • 600 g – XL
     • 400 g – M
• With some mixes, it is not clear how much yeast is included, so some trial and error may be required to obtain optimum results.
• Bread mix with separate yeast sachet
  1. First place the dry yeast in the bread pan, then the bread mix, then the water.
  2. Set the machine on menu 1 and start the baking.
• Baking brioche with brioche mix
  Select the menu 5 or 2- "Medium" size - "Light" crust shape.

Tips: The outcome differs depending on the type of mixed flour.

Gluten Free Information

Making gluten free bread is very different from the normal way of producing bread.
It is very important if you are making gluten free bread for health reasons that you have consulted your doctor and follow the guidelines below.

• This program has been developed especially for certain gluten free ingredients, therefore using your own mix may not produce such good results.
• Gluten-free bread cannot rise as much as a traditional bread. It will be of a denser consistency and lighter colour than normal bread.
• When "gluten free" is selected, the details for each recipe must be followed carefully. (Otherwise, the bread may not turn out well.) There are two types of gluten - free baking mixtures; mixtures with low content of gluten and mixtures which do not consist of wheat and contain no gluten. If you have to pick one out using this baking program, please consult your doctor beforehand.
• The baking results and bread's appearance may differ according to the type of mix. Occasionally a bread may have some flour remaining on the side. The wheat free mixes can produce more variable results.
• Wait for the bread to cool before slicing it for the better performance.
• The bread should be stored in a cool dry place and used within 2 days. If you will not be able to use up all the bread within that time it can be put into freezer bags, in convenient sized portions, and frozen.

Warning for the users who use this program for health reasons:
When using the gluten free program, make sure to consult your doctor or the Coeliac Association and only use the ingredients which are suitable for your health conditions.
Panasonic will not be responsible for any consequences resulting from ingredients that have been used without professional consultation.

It is very important to avoid cross contamination with flours that contain gluten if bread is being made for dietary reasons. Particular attention must be paid to the cleaning of the bread pan and kneading blade as well as any utensils that are used. You must also ensure that the yeast used contains no gluten.

Recipes

Measure the ingredients accurately.
Accurate measurement is essential in achieving good baking results. Weighing the ingredients would be more accurate than measuring them in cups. This is why in this book's recipes, many ingredients are given in weight as well as in cup/spoon measurements.

The only ingredients that may be appropriate in measuring by volume, that is, by cups and spoons, are liquids and very small quantities of dry ingredients, such as the yeast and spices. These are difficult to weigh by a kitchen scale. Even in such instances, measure the amount accurately by scooping the ingredients in the measuring cup or the spoon of the desired size until the measure is more than full.

Level the top with the straight edge of a metal spatula to remove the excess. Do not tap the bottom of the cup or spoon on the table to hold another scoop.

Correct way to use a measuring cup.
(Use store-bought measuring cup for flour.)

1. Scoop the ingredient until the cup is more than full.
   
2. Level the top with the straight edge of a metal spatula to remove the excess.

Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, please check through this section.

Problem	Cause and Action
During or after cooking
My bread does not rise well. The top of my bread is uneven.	[All bread] Your flour gluten quality is poor, or you have not used strong flour. (Gluten quality can vary depending on temperature, humidity, how the flour is stored, and the season of harvest). Try another type, brand or another batch of flour. The dough becomes too firm as you haven't used enough liquid. Stronger flour with higher protein content absorbs more water than others, try adding an extra 10 - 20 mL. You are not using the right type of dry yeast. Use a dry yeast from a sachet, which has "instant yeast" or "rapid rise yeast" written on it. This type does not require pre-fermentation. You are not using enough dry yeast, or your dry yeast is old. Use the measuring spoon provided. Check the yeast's expiry date. (Keep dry yeast in refrigerator) The dry yeast has touched liquid before kneading. Check that you have put the ingredients in the correct order according to the instructions. You have used too much salt, or not enough sugar. Check the recipe and measure out the correct amounts using the measuring spoon provided. Check that salt and sugar are not included in other ingredients.
Can failed dough be used again? E.g: The dough hasn't been baked...etc.	It can be used to make doughnut, pizza and others. Please confirm at which status baking stopped and resumed the subsequent operations. When dry yeast had been mixed with other ingredients. Take out the dough and make doughnut or pizza. When the bread dough is halfway fermented or baked. Take out the dough and start baking for 40 minutes at 170°C in the oven. While observing the situation while baking.
My bread has not risen at all. My bread is pale and sticky.	You did not use dry yeast. Place the correct amount of dry yeast. You are not using enough dry yeast, or your dry yeast is old. Use the measuring spoon provided. Check the yeast's expiry date. (Keep yeast in refrigerator.) There has been a power failure, or the machine has been stopped during bread making. You will need to remove the bread from the bread pan and start again with new ingredients.
My bread is sticky and slices unevenly.	It was too hot when you sliced it. Allow your bread to cool on rack before slicing to release the steam.
My bread has risen too much.	You have used too much dry yeast / water. Check the recipe and measure out the correct amount using the measuring spoon (dry yeast) / measuring cup (water) provided. Check that excess water amount is not included in other ingredients. You have used too much flour. Carefully weigh the flour using scales.
My bread is full of air holes.	You have used too much dry yeast. Check the recipe and measure out the correct amount using the measuring spoon provided. You have used too much liquid. Some types of flour absorb more water than others, so try using 10 – 20 mL less water.
My bread seems to have collapsed after rising.	The quality of your flour isn't very good. Try using a different brand of flour. You have used too much liquid. Try using 10 - 20 mL less water.
The crust creases and goes soft on cooling.	The steam remaining in the bread after baking can pass into the crust and soften it slightly. To reduce the amount of steam, try using 10 - 20 mL less water.
The sides of my bread have collapsed and the bottom is damp.	You have left the bread in the bread pan for too long after baking. Remove the bread promptly after baking. There has been a power failure, or the machine has been stopped during bread making. The machine switches off if it is stopped for more than 10 minutes.
How can I keep my crust crispy?	To make your bread more crispy, you could use the 'Dark' crust shape option, or even bake it in the oven at 200°C for an extra 5 - 10 minutes.
There is excess oil on the bottom of brioche. The crust is oily. My bread has big holes.	Did you add butter within 5 minutes of the beep? Do not put butter when display show remaining time until ready. Butter flavour might be weak, but it can bake.
My brioche did not turn out well when using bread mix.	Try following things. It might be baked better if dry yeast is decreased a little when using menu 5. (If adding dry yeast separately). Follow the recipe on the bread mix, but the bread mix should be between 350 - 500 g. Place the ingredients in the order described in the recipe. When adding the extra ingredients, add them later. The completion is different according to recipe on the bread mix.
Why has my bread not mixed properly?	You haven't put the kneading blade in the bread pan. Make sure the kneading blade is in the bread pan before you put in the ingredients.
Extra ingredients are not mixed properly.	Did you add extra ingredients to the raisin nut dispenser before the beep or add it into the bread pan while " " is flashing? → Extra ingredients must be added to the raisin nut dispenser before the beep or put it into the bread pan during " " is flashing on the display.
Extra ingredients are not mixed properly in Brioche.	Did you add additional ingredients within 5 minutes of the beep? Extra ingredients must be added while " is flashing in the display. Some of the bread mix dough is harder to mixed extra ingredients in or to flick out some of them. Decrease the extra ingredients into half.
Extra ingredients do not fall into the bread pan from the raisin nut dispenser.	Is the surface of the extra ingredients higher than the edge of the raisin nut dispenser? Put the extra ingredients so that its surface is lower than the edge of the raisin nut dispenser. The capacity of the raisin nut dispenser is 150 g, however depending on the state and the type of ingredients, they may overflow.
There is excess flour around the bottom and sides of my bread.	You have used too much flour, or you are not using enough liquid. Check the recipe and measure out the correct amount using scales for the flour or the measuring cup provided for liquids.
My bread has not been baked.	The dough menu was selected. The dough menu does not include a baking process. There has been a power failure, or the machine has been stopped during bread making. You can try baking the dough in your oven if it has risen and proved. There is not enough water and the motor protection device has been activated. This only happens when the machine is overloaded and excessive force is applied to the motor. Visit place of purchase for a service consultation. Next time, check the recipe and measure out the correct amount using the measuring cup provided. You have forgotten to attach the kneading blade. Make sure you attach the kneading blade first. The kneading mounting shaft in the bread pan is stiff and does not rotate. If the kneading mounting shaft does not rotate when the kneading blade is attached, you will need to replace the kneading mounting shaft unit. (Consult the place of purchase or a Panasonic service center.)
The bread does not come out.	If the bread cannot be easily removed from the bread pan, leave the bread pan for 5 – 10 minutes to cool, making sure that it is not left unattended where somebody or something may get burnt. After that, shake the bread pan several times using oven mitts. (Hold the handle down so that it does not get in the way of bread.)
The kneading blade stays in the bread when I remove it from the bread pan.	The dough is a little stiff. Allow the bread to cool completely before removing the kneading blade carefully. Some types of flour absorb more water than others, so try adding an extra 10 – 20 mL of water next time. Crust has built up underneath the kneading blade. Wash the kneading blade and its spindle after each use.
My gluten free pasta did not turn well.	Your dough was too soft. Decrease the water volume or increase the amount of xanthan gum. Your dough was too hard. Decrease the amount of xanthan gum or increase the water volume.
When cooking jam, it has scorched or the kneading blade fixes and it doesn't come off.	The amount of the fruit is too little, or the amount of sugar is too much. Place the bread pan in the sink and half fill the bread pan with warm water. Leave the bread pan to soak until the cooked on mixture or kneading blade loosens. After scorching is relieved, wash it with a soft sponge etc.
The jam has boiled over.	Too much fruit or sugar has been used. Only use the amounts of fruit and sugar specified in the recipes.
Jam is too runny and not firmly set.	The fruit was under or over ripe. Sugar was decreased too much. Cooking time was insufficient. Fruit with a low pectin content was used. Leave the jam to cool completely. The jam will continue to set as it cools. Use the runny jam as a sauce for desserts.
What kinds of sugar can we use on jam?	White caster and granulated can be used. Do not use brown sugar, diet sugar, and low calorie sugar or artificial sweetener.
Can frozen fruits be used?	It can be used for only jam.
When making jam, can we use fruits are pickled in alcohol?	Do not use them. The quality is not satisfactory.
Puzzle
The kneading blade rattles.	This is because the kneading blade fits loosely on the kneading mounting shaft. (This is not a fault.)
I can smell burning while the bread is baking. Smoke is coming out of the steam vent.	Ingredients may have been spilt on the heating element. Sometimes a little flour, raisins or other ingredients may be flicked out of the bread pan during mixing. Simply wipe the heating element gently after baking once the machine has cooled down. Remove the bread pan from the main unit to place ingredients.
Dough leaks out from bottom of the bread pan.	A small amount of dough will escape through the ventilation holes (so that it does not stop the rotating parts from rotating). This is not a fault, but check occasionally that the kneading mounting shaft rotate properly. If the kneading mounting shaft does not rotate when the kneading blade is attached, you will need to replace the kneading mounting shaft unit. (Consult the place of purchase or Panasonic service center.) (Bottom of bread pan)
Display exception
"1" appears on the display and operation has been stopped.	When the power supply to machine is interrupted for a certain time, the display shows "1" after recovered. (It is standby mode and machine could not continue the program.) Remove the bread, dough or ingredients and start again using new ingredients.
"H01", "H02" appears on the display.	The display indicates a problem with the machine. Consult the place of purchase or a Panasonic service center.
"U50" appears on the display.	The machine is hot (above 40°C). This may occur with repeated use. Allow the machine to cool down to below 40°C before using it again (U50 will disappear).
