Electrical Requirement
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three-pin mains plug for safety and convenience. A 5-amp fuse is fitted in this plug. If the fuse needs replacement, ensure the replacement fuse has a 5-amp rating and is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA or BSI mark on the fuse body.
If the plug has a removable fuse cover, ensure it is refitted after replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained from a local Panasonic dealer.
If the fitted plug is unsuitable for your home socket, remove the fuse, cut off the plug, and dispose of it safely. Inserting a cut-off plug into a 13-amp socket poses a severe electrical shock risk.
How to Replace the Fuse
The fuse location differs by AC mains plug type (Figures A and B). Confirm your plug type and follow the instructions. Illustrations may differ from the actual plug. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver, replace the fuse, and close or attach the fuse cover.
(Visual description: Figure A and Figure B illustrate different AC mains plug types and the location of the fuse cover.)

- Add ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe: Yeast, Flour, Other ingredients, Liquids.
- Place the bread pan clockwise into the appliance, close the lid, and insert the mains plug.
- When adding dry yeast, keep it away from the kneading blade and mounting shaft. If yeast gets into the shaft, the bread may not rise well.
- Cover the yeast with flour, followed by the rest of the dry ingredients, and finally the liquid.
Setting:
- Use the left and right arrows of the Menu button to switch between menus. For Menu 1 (Basic), you can set shortcut programs.
- Press the Crust button to set the crust colour (default is standard).
- Press the Timer button to set the bread baking finishing time (default is immediate). Refer to pages EN4-EN5 for details on shortcut programs.
- Press the Start button. The screen will display the approximate finishing time.
- If the Raisin program (Menu 3) is selected, open the lid when the buzzer beeps, manually add ingredients, close the lid, and press Start again within 3 minutes. If not, the appliance will start automatically after the buzzer.
Taking Out:
- The machine will beep when the program finishes. Press the Stop button and unplug the machine.
- For best results, remove the bread immediately. Carefully remove the hot bread pan using dry oven gloves.
- Tip the bread out of the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Ensure the kneading blade is not embedded in the bread before slicing.
- Do not use sharp implements to remove the bread, as this can damage the bread pan.
Troubleshooting
If an anomaly occurs, check the following first. If the problem persists, contact a Panasonic Service Centre.
| Problem | Cause and Action |
|---|---|
| Error Code U53 | Motor overload. Weigh materials correctly. Crush large particles of ingredients (e.g., walnuts) before adding (Press Start button). |
| Error Code U50 | Machine is hot (above 40°C) due to continuous running. Open the lid until the inside cools thoroughly (approx. 1 hour after baking). |
| Error Code H01 ~ H02 | Malfunction. Contact Panasonic Service Centre for repair. |
| Buttons do not work. | Check if the mains plug is loose or has fallen out. Insert the mains plug firmly. |
| Appliance does not run (knead dough) after pressing Start. | The delay timer program may be set to "Dough standing", delaying the start. No action needed if this is the case. |
| The blade rattles. | There might be a gap between the blade and the main shaft (front end moves about 3 cm). No action needed if this is the case. |
| Appliance sounds during use or reservation. | Sounds like squeaks, patters (dough kneading) or hums (motor running) are normal during "Dough kneading" or "Venting" stages. |
| Appliance stops halfway (blade does not rotate). | Too many ingredients or the blade is stuck in hard ingredients, causing motor overload. The protection device stops the appliance. Disconnect power immediately, remove ingredients, rest for over 30 minutes, then restart with correct ingredient amounts. If the problem persists, contact Panasonic Service Centre. |
| Baking cannot proceed, still powdery. | Check if the blade was forgotten. Install the blade (P. EN4). Check if the blade mounting shaft in the bread pan is too tight. If the shaft does not rotate with the blade installed, contact Panasonic Service Centre for bearing replacement. |
| Dough leakage at the bottom of the bread pan. | A small amount of dough may discharge from the outlet as part of the rotation mechanism. This is not abnormal, provided the blade mounting shaft can rotate. If the shaft does not rotate, contact Panasonic Service Centre for bearing replacement. |
| Bottom of the bread pan turns dark. | This may be due to stirring friction. Wipe the darkening part with a wet kitchen paper. |
| Abnormal shape of bread (Insufficient or excessive fermentation). | Cause: Too much dry yeast/water or too much flour. Room temperature too high. Action: Check recipe and measure ingredients accurately using provided tools. Ensure no excess water is in other ingredients. Weigh flour carefully. If room temperature is above 25°C, use water at 5°C and reduce water amount by 10g/mL. |
| Appliance smokes or smells when starting. | This is normal and should gradually disappear as the appliance runs. It does not affect use. It is also normal for the motor not to run immediately upon starting. |
