Problem Cause -> Action
My bread has risen too much.

Check the recipe and measure out the correct amount using the measuring spoon (yeast)/
cup (water) provided.
-» Check that excess water amount is not included in other ingredients.
• You have not used enough flour.
Carefully weigh the flour using scales.
• You are not using enough yeast, or your yeast is old.
Use the measuring spoon provided. Check the yeast’s expiry date. (Keep in fridge)
• 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 will need to remove
the bread from the pan and start again with new ingredients.
There is excess flour around the
bottom and sides of my bread.
Why has my bread not mixed
properly?

-» 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.

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).
' 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 blade is attached, you will
need to replace the kneading mounting
shaft unit (from the place of purchase or a
Panasonic service centre).
