Yeah, I think you guys don't do bread machines, but I'm groveling.
Is the thing supposed to sit there and do NOTHING for more than a half
hour after I've put the ingredients in and selected the Basic cycle and
pressed the red start/stop button?

I don't have the manual, only Lora Brody's Bread Machine Baking book and
the machine's owners are in Disneyworld and unavailable.

HELP!!
I await your counsel.

It's probably in a preheat cycle. Not all machines have the pre heat. Some
machines are programmable allowing the user to turn this off.
By now, you've probably figured this out and your bread is baking...

OOPS almost forgot,

Here's link for Panasonic manuals note: it takes a while to load the list of
manuals, but the wait is worth it... manuals for lots of panasonic products
are here, (not just Bread machines)

Hello, I do bread machines and have for a loooooong time (plus artisan).
Just finished a pizza dough taken out of the bread machine -- Yeah, I'm
experienced.
Here's an answer that's probably likely to insult, and it's sorta like --
did you plug in the machine -- but, wait, that's not it.

Push Start, THEN select your selection, "Basic, Wheat, Dough, French, or
whatever."

If this is not the problem -- then there IS a problem.

Thanks, DeeDee. YES, I plugged it in! <Barb whaps Dee upside the head>.
There's something else going on, I'm now convinced. I've done the
buttons in your sequence, too, with no response from the machine.
Phooey and ptooey!'
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, Rina. My model is older than anything they've listed but it
appears that their breadbakers begin with a 'rest' period of 30-60
minutes. I've been starting over after 30 minutes. :-/ I'll now
leave it alone and see what kind of a lump I've got in 4 hours! Ugh.
Thank you again for your assistance.

My latest breadmaker is a Toastmaster -- not top of the line, but seems
there is always something. With this one, when I lift the top up when the
bread is finished, it actually goes flying off the table and onto the floor.
Now the plastic of the top frame is actually bent so there is a gap and the
top never fully closes. The reason that it goes flying off is that the
little plastic pins that hold it in place must decrease in size while
cooking, thereby not holding the lid tight when lifted.

I'm thinking perhaps my next breadmaker will be the high priced (and I
assume over-priced) Zojo. My first one was a Zojo, but the next immediate
one was an Oster and they were both equal in quality IMO. So perhaps they
have changed.

Good luck. I hope you didn't pay a lot for your breadmaker. From the time
I bought my last Oster until I bought the last breadmaker, the Toastmaster,
the price had doubled.

Is there power at that plug?

Not a plug turned on by a light switch or blown fuse kinda dealie?
I changed many a light bulb for a floor lamp when I'd forgotten that AC
outlet was wall-switch controled...

Machine appears to be one with that pre-heat thing going. They call it
a 'rest' cycle in the manual, 30-60 minutes. The loaf will be done
baking in about 25 minutes. Woo-hoo! Thanks, again Rina.

No, this is a loaner from Beck. The State Fair folks gave me beau coup
pkgs of quick-rise yeast and I thought that's what the bread machine
needed. NOT. LOL! I had the kids bring the machine here for a visit
while they're at Disneyworld with La Twerp. I don't know where they're
staying and Beck's without her cell phone during the day. Blahblahblah.
It appears to have worked itself out here. :-/ Operator Error.

Our machine (Sunbeam) has a preheat setting. Sometimes the stuff sits there
for 30 minutes, others it starts straightaway. It always takes the same
amount of time to bake a loaf though... Haven't worked this out! I do know
it's not a fault - I actually read the manual to work out what was
happening.

Mine preheats for a while, depending on how cold the ingredients are.

Hi!

Where could I find a bread machine in KL? I would like a Panasonic one.
Thanks!
