Panasonic Bread Bakery SD-253 Quick guide

Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Bread Bakerye, SD-253.
Successful bread making is an art, requiring good quality ingredients, time and energy due
to the importance of thorough kneading.
The Panasonic Automatic Bread Bakerye is ideal for anyone who has been discouraged from
making their own bread in the past. Experienced bakers will also enjoy using this automatic
way of making their family favourites.
One of the main advantages is that the most tiresome element of bread making, i.e.
kneading, is completely automatic, leaving you time to spare with no dishes to wash.
The pre-programmed cycle takes place all in the same pan.
In addition, our automatic raisin nut dispenser will drop your choice of dried fruit/nuts into the
dough at the precise time during kneading, giving you an even spread throughout the loaf.
No further action is required after pressing the start pad.
Whether you use pre-packaged bread mixes, or the recipes we have developed for you,
or you develop your own favourite recipes, we hope you enjoy using your Panasonic
Bead Bakeryo.
Before operating the Bread Bakerys, please read the following instructions carefully.
