Important Safety Precautions

 Location

Use this appliance in the following locations:
•  Do not use the appliance outdoors or in the immediate vicinity of heat sources or in 

roomswhere humidity is high.

•  Place the breadmaker on a firm, dry, flat worktop. Do not place on unstable objects 

or on materials such as tablecloths.

• During baking the casing heats up. The breadmaker should be placed at least 

5cm (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 table 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 programme sequence stops. However the 
appliance has a 10 minute memory so if the power is restored within 10 minutes, the 
programme will resume.)

6. Do not touch, block or cover the ventilation 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 programmes work successfully)

10.  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or 

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
