Handling Instructions

Before Use

• For the first time use, remove packing material and clean the machine.
• Clean the machine when you have not used it for a long time.

Preparations

1. Open the lid, remove the bread pan (1), and set the kneading blade into the kneading mounting shaft.

2. Prepare the ingredients with exact measurements according to the recipe.
3. Place the measured ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed in the recipes.
   • • For bread and dough menus, dry yeast should be placed first.
     • Place dry yeast away from the kneading blade and kneading mounting shaft. If some of the dry yeast gets into it, the bread may not rise well.
   • Place dry ingredients over the dry yeast. It must be kept separate from any liquid until mixing commences.
     • Pour the liquid into the edge of the bread pan’s sidewall to avoid splashing.
     • Wipe off any moisture and flour around the bread pan, and return it to the main unit. Close the lid.
     • Add additional ingredients to the raisin nut dispenser for available menus.
     • For optimum results, do not open the lid unless the menu requires it, as it affects bread quality.

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 consult 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 traditional bread. It will be of a denser consistency and lighter color 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 gluten-free - free baking mixtures: mixtures with low content of gluten and mixtures that 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 the read’s appearance may differ according to the type of mix. Occasionally, bread may have some flour remaining on the sides. Wheat-free mixes can produce more variable results.
• Wait for the bread to cool before slicing it for 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,e 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 that 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.
