HELPFUL TIPS
WATER QUALITY
•
Fresh, good-tasting water is essential
for a perfect cup. If your water contains
excessive sediment, or has an ‘off’ taste or
odor, we recommend using filtered water.
Never use distilled or de-mineralized water
as this will affect the electronics and the
taste of your coffee.
ICED COFFEE
•
Iced coffee is at its best when the coffee is
brewed strong because the coffee is diluted
by the melting ice cubes. We recommend
selecting ‘9 CUPS’ and number 8 strength
setting. This makes approximately 1.5
quarts (1.5L) of brewed coffee, enough for
4-6 servings. Once the brewing cycle is
complete, transfer the coffee to a heatproof
pitcher and let cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or
overnight. Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour
the coffee into the glasses, filling them to
within 1.5" (4cm) of the rim. Top each glass
with cream, milk, syrups or sweeteners as
desired.
•
If using granulated sugar as a sweetener,
add while the coffee is hot to encourage the
sugar to completely dissolve.
•
To avoid a diluted taste, you can also use
regular strength coffee and serve it over
coffee ice cubes. Prepare coffee ice cubes
by pouring cool coffee into ice-cube trays
and freezing.
Always turn the coffee machine off and remove
the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING THE COFFEE BASKET
AND GOLD TONE FILTER
After every use, press the OPEN button to
open the swing-out door. Remove the coffee
basket. Discard the ground coffee and paper
filter. The coffee basket and gold tone filter can
be rinsed under running water. Make sure to
thoroughly rinse the chute area of the coffee
basket and ensure the fine holes of the gold
tone filter are clear. For a deeper clean, wash
the coffee basket and gold tone filter in warm,
soapy water with a soft bristled brush.
NOTE
The flap on the side of the coffee basket is
the steam baffle which assists with water
overflow if the coffee basket becomes
blocked. The flap is hinged from the
bottom for easy cleaning. Pull the flap
downwards to clean, however always
click it back into the upright position
before use.
CAUTION
The coffee basket, gold tone or paper
filter may still be very hot after brewing.
Use caution and allow to cool before
removing.
CLEANING THE CARAFE
After each use, empty the carafe. Do not let
brewed coffee stand overnight as this can
cause the carafe to stain. Rinse the carafe and
carafe lid under running water. For a deeper
clean, we recommend regularly washing the
carafe in warm, soapy water with a soft bristled
brush (one can be purchased from Breville if
you do not have a suitable one). Do not use
abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can
scratch the surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE BEAN HOPPER
Remove the hopper lid and turn the locking
knob counter-clockwise in the direction of the
UNLOCK arrow. The bean hopper and lid can
be washed in warm, soapy water. Do not use
abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can
scratch the surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NOTE
Do not clean any of the parts or any of the
accessories in the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE GRINDING BURRS
AND COFFEE GRINDS CHUTE
The LCD screen will display ‘CLEAN COFFEE
CHUTE’ when the grinding burrs and
coffee grinds chute need to be cleaned. We
recommend doing this immediately to avoid
clogging and overflowing of the coffee basket.
Depending on frequency of use, you may
choose to do this every 2-3 weeks.
1.
Unlock and remove the bean hopper.
2.
Open the swing-out door. The coffee
grinds chute will rotate to the open
position. You may hear a winding
noise, this is normal.
