Safety Instructions
Important Safety Precautions
 Location
• Do not use the appliance
outdoors or in the
immediate vicinity of
heat sources or in rooms
where humidity is high.
• Position the
breadmaker on a firm,
dry, clean, flat heatproof
worktop at least 10 cm
(4 inches) from the edge of the worktop.
• Do not place on unstable surfaces, or on electrical items
such as fridges or on materials such as tablecloths.
• During baking the casing heats up, the
breadmaker should be placed at least 5 cm
(2 inches) from walls and other objects.
 Caution
1. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
2. Do not attempt to repair the breadmaker. Consult
a Panasonic dealer and have it serviced by an
authorised technician.
3. Do not immerse the unit, power cord, or plug in
water or any kind of liquid.
4. Do not allow the power cord to hang over the
edge of the worktop or touch a hot surface.
5. Do not remove the bread pan or unplug the
breadmaker during its operation.
(If the electricity supply is switched off the program
sequence stops. However the appliance has a
10 minutes memory so if the power is restored within
10 minutes, the program will resume.)
6. Do not touch, block or cover steam vent during use.
7. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
8. To avoid burns, always use oven
gloves when removing the bread pan
and the finished bread. Also take care
when removing the kneading blade.
9. Always keep the inside of the unit
and the bread pan clean to ensure
programs work successfully.
(See page 34 for care and cleaning.)
