Problem
Why has my bread not
mixed properly?
My bread has not been
baked.
Dough leaks out of
the bottom of the
bread pan.
The sides of my bread
have collapsed and the
bottom is damp.
The kneading blade rattles.
I can smell burning while
the bread is baking.
Smoke is coming out of
the steam vent.
 You haven't put the kneading blade in the bread pan.
 Make sure the blade is in the pan before you put in the ingredients.
 There has been a power failure, or the machine has been stopped during
breadmaking.
 The machine switches off if it is stopped for more than ten minutes. You might be
able to start the loaf again, though this might give poor results if kneading had
already begun.
 The kneading mounting shaft in the bread pan is stiff and does not rotate.
 If the kneading mounting shaft does not rotate when the blade is attached,
you will need to replace the kneading mounting shaft unit (consult the place of
purchase or a Panasonic service centre: 0844 8443868 or order online at www.
panasonic.co.uk).
 The 'DOUGH' option was selected.
 The 'DOUGH' option does not include a baking process.
 There has been a power failure, or the machine has been stopped during
breadmaking.
 The machine switches off if it is stopped for more than approx. ten minutes. 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 activated. This only
happens when the unit 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 for liquid and
scales for weighing flour.
 A small amount of dough will escape
through the four 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 blade is attached,
you will need to replace the kneading
mounting shaft unit (from our Customer
Support dept on 0844 8443868 or write
to the UK address on the back cover or
order online at www.panasonic.co.uk).
 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
breadmaking.
 The machine switches off if it is stopped for more than ten minutes. You may try
baking the dough in your oven.
 This is because the blade fits loosely on the shaft. (This is not a fault)
 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 element gently after baking once the
breadmaker has cooled down.
 Remove the bread pan from the breadmaker to place ingredients.
