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. Dee
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.
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.
Sure. OE came into play. "-/
Nah. 'Twas I.
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!
