BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

BREVILLE ASSIST™ PLUG

Your Breville appliance comes
with a unique Assist™ Plug,
conveniently designed with a
finger hole in the power plug for
easy and safe removal from the
wall outlet. For safety reasons it
is recommended you plug your
Breville appliance directly into
its own electrical outlet on a
dedicated circuit separate from
other appliances. If the electric
circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance
may not function properly. Use
in conjunction with a power
strip or extension cord is not
recommended.

SHORT CORD
INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance is fitted
with a short power supply cord
as a safety precaution to prevent
personal injury or property
damage resulting from pulling,
tripping or becoming entangled
with a longer cord. Do not allow
children to use or be near this
appliance without close adult
supervision. Longer detachable
power supply cords or extension
cords are not recommended but
may be used if care is exercised.
If an extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the
appliance, (2) the cord should
be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over
unintentionally and (3) the
extension cord must include a
3-prong grounding plug.

GRINDER OVERVIEW

Your Smart Grinder™ Pro uses hardened
stainless steel concial burrs to grind whole
bean coffee suitable for a range of brewing
methods, from the finest setting for espresso
to the coarsest setting for press. You are able
to select the amount of shots or cups with a
single button. The grind amount (dose) for all
coffee types is controlled by a digital timer.
The default dose for each brew method can be
adjusted by turning the Grind Amount Dial
and changing the time the grinder will run.
Once you have the desired dose, you can press
and hold the PROGRAM button to set your
custom time. You can grind directly into
a portafilter, grinds container or drip coffee
filter basket.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove and safely discard all promotional
labels and packing materials attached to your
Breville product.

Wash hopper, cradles, grind container,
container lid and cleaning brush in warm
soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe
exterior of grinder with a soft damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. Place grinder on flat level
surface and plug power cord into 120V outlet.

ENERGY SAVING FEATURE

The grinder will automatically switch
off if not used for 5 minutes.

To reactivate the machine whilst in
POWER SAVING/SLEEP MODE, press

Bean Hopper

Align tabs on the base of the bean hopper
and insert hopper into position. Turn the
bean hopper dial 90° to lock into position.
Fill with fresh coffee beans and secure lid
on top of bean hopper.

The bean hopper can be removed by turning
dial anti clockwise and lifting hopper to pull
out. The locking system allows you to remove
and transfer beans in the hopper to a storage
container safely.

Within each brew method (espresso, percolator,
drip or press), there is a range of grind size
settings. Between each brew method the grind
size settings will differ. This is due to each
method requiring different grind sizes for
optimum extraction.

Experiment with different grind size settings
by rotating the Grind Size dial to achieve the

brew that best suits your taste.

GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE

Use single wall filter baskets when grinding
fresh coffee beans. Use the finer 1–30 settings
in the ESPRESSO range.

Insert the appropriate portafilter cradle size.
Insert your portafilter into the cradle.
