Trying to find instruction manuals online is a pain. I blame Google. Or more specifically, the SEOers who are working the search engine algorithms for the online retailers.

It’s happened to me a couple of times recently when I’ve been trying to find out how to use relatively ancient electrical items. Most recently, I was attempting the ‘healthy option’ of making pizza at home, rather than popping in to the local Domino’s.

[](https://toodlepip.co.uk/content/files/legacy/206%5FCB.pdf)The bread machine (Panasonic Automatic Breadmaker SD-206, in case you’re wondering) produces a rather splendid dough in about 45 mins, although go easy on the water. The recipes provided tend to make the dough a little too stick, using slightly less water does the trick, about 15ml, usually.

It’s not that often that I get a chance to use the web in a way that say, my mum, would use it but this is a great example of when Google’s just isn’t helpful. Try searching for [panasonic SD-206 bread maker manual](http://www.google.com/search?q=panasonic+SD-206+bread+maker+manual&ref=toodlepip.co.uk). It actually works better with fewer keywords, try [panasonic SD-206 manual](http://www.google.com/search?q=panasonic+SD-206+manual&ref=toodlepip.co.uk) instead. She’d definitely give up. Even the links that look like they might be helpful are pleas from other users for the manual, sites charging for downloads or non-English versions.

You’ll be glad to hear (or perhaps by this stage, you couldn’t care less) that I found the manual on Panasonic’s website. I downloaded the nice shiny PDF to find some of the ropiest scans I’ve come across. Very funny. Still, at least I got my pizza dough.

Lessons learnt:

1. Google is a highly polluted beast if you’re searching for something that’s heavily SEO’ed
2. Panasonic are ripe for some SEO – get in there agencies
3. Home-made pizza really does knock the spots off most take-aways

And if someone is looking for the [manual for a Panasonic SD-206 Automatic Breadmaker](https://toodlepip.co.uk/content/files/legacy/206%5FCB.pdf), I’ve stuck a copy [here](https://toodlepip.co.uk/content/files/legacy/206%5FCB.pdf). Although the scans are fairly rubbish, it’s readable when printed. Happy baking!

Hey Sam,

Interesting post, I totally agree with your Google point.

However, I don’t agree with your pizza dough point!Â You should totally make it by hand, it’s super easy and even tastier, I promise!

I use a Delia Smith recipe:

So easy.Â And only an hour inc rising 🙂

Ah yes, but the bread maker is 45 mins and you get to make all the nice toppings whilst it’s doing its thang.

And you have to take into account, I have a very small kitchen and am terribly messy.Â

Thanks for the SD206 link – we’d mislaid our manual. The scans are indeed pretty terrible – but I only wanted the recipes. Thanks!

Sam,

Thanks you saved me looking all over for this. Great this is what cyberspace is all about.

Cheers

Many thanks, I have been looking for the same reason! The perfect pizza dough.

And in response to doing it by hand, who would knead it as methodically as our trusty breadmaker.

Great!

Thanks so much for this, been looking for it online for hours! You’re a lifesaver 🙂

Link is broken! ohhh i need those recipes……

**Sam Michel (author)** · 13 October 2011

Sorry – moved server a couple of weeks back and the links broke. It’s all fixed now, and you should be able to download the PDF. Happy baking!

**Vicky**  · 30 January 2012

Thanks so much for posting this! I couldn’t find it anywhere (well i managed to download a Russian version..).

**waltz** · 7 October 2012

I’ve cleaned up the pdf if anyones interested, maybe a little ocd but hi-ho. (you have to try really hard to get such a bad copy of anything these days; although it’s the only one, so…)

**Sam Michel (author)** · 18 October 2012

That’s really Waltz, would be more than happy to add a link or upload here if that’d be OK. Do you have a link to it?

**Anonymous** · 13 February 2013

Nice recipes maybe but no help whatsoever for which buttons to push in which order to get the wretched thing to WORK!

So thank you for the recipe book, but where can I find the picture of the buttons and how to make this machine work?!
