BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRSTBREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Carefully read all instructions before

operating the appliance for the first time
and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any

packaging materials and promotional
labels before using the appliance for the
first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young

children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug
of this appliance.

• Do not place the appliance near the edge

of a bench or table during operation.
Ensure that the surface is level, clean
and free of water.

• Always operate the appliance on a stable

and heat resistant surface. Do not use on
a cloth-covered surface, near curtains or
other flammable materials.

• Do not place the appliance on or near a

hot gas burner, electric element or where
it could touch a heated oven.

• Do not operate the appliance on metal

surfaces, for example, a sink drain board.

• Position the appliance with a minimum

distance of 4” (10cm) of space on both
sides of the appliance. This will allow for
adequate air circulation.

• Always ensure the appliance is properly

assembled before connecting to a
power outlet and operating. Follow the
instructions described in this book.

• Do not operate the appliance without

water in the water tank. Use only cold,
preferably filtered water. Do not use any
other liquid.

• Ensure the supplied gold tone filter or

a paper filter (8-12 cup, flat base basket
style with ~ 3¼"/8.25cm base) is placed
in the coffee basket before using the
appliance. Do not use the gold tone filter
in conjunction with a paper filter.

• Never open the swing-out door

and remove the coffee basket while
brewing. Hot water and coffee can
cause injury. Allow to drain before
removing to avoid scalding.

• The carafe is designed for use with this

appliance only. It must never be used on
a range top or in a microwave.

• Always ensure the carafe is completely

empty of any contents before brewing.

• Always ensure the carafe lid is

completely closed before placing the
carafe under the drip stop outlet.

• Do not use the carafe with a cracked,

loose, weakened or damaged handle.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the

handle for lifting and carrying the carafe.

• Do not set a hot carafe on a wet, cold or

heat sensitive surface.

• Do not operate the grinder without

the bean hopper lid in position. Keep
fingers, hands, hair, clothing and
utensils away from the bean hopper
during operation. Avoid contact with
moving parts.

• Check the grinder for presence of

foreign objects before using.

• Use the grinder to grind roasted coffee

beans only. Grinding other substances,
such as nuts, spices or unroasted beans
may dull the burr and cause poor
grinding or injury.

• Always switch the appliance off by

pressing the POWER button off. Remove
the power plug from the power outlet
before attempting to move the appliance,
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning and storing. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning the appliance.

• Keep the appliance and accessories clean.

Strictly follow the care and cleaning
instructions described in this book.

• Do not use cleaners, steel wool pads or

other abrasive materials when cleaning
any part of this appliance.

• This appliance is not intended to be

operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.

• The use of attachments not sold or

recommended by Breville may cause fire,
electric shock or injuries.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR
ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

• Fully unwind cord before use.

• To protect against electric shock, do not

immerse cord, plug or appliance in water
or any other liquid.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge

of a bench or table, touch hot surfaces, or
become knotted.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended

when in use.

• This appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure

they do not play with the appliance.

• This appliance is recommended for

household use only. Do not use this
appliance for anything other than its

intended use. Do not use in moving
vehicles or boats. Do not use outdoors.

• It is recommended to regularly inspect

the appliance. Do not use the appliance
if the power supply cord, power plug, or
appliance becomes damaged in anyway.
Immediately cease use and call Breville
Consumer Service.

• For any maintenance other than

cleaning call Breville Consumer
Service.

• This appliance is equipped with a

power cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The appliance
must be grounded using a 3-hole
properly grounded outlet. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock.

• If the appliance is of the grounded

type, the extension cord should be a
grounding 3-wire cord. If the power
outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord or use an adapter.

• Consult a qualified electrician if

the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.

CAUTION

We recommend using cold, filtered
water. We do not recommend the use of
de-mineralized or distilled water as this
may affect the taste of brewed coffee
and how the coffee machine is designed
to function.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

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 available and 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.

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.

USING THE YOUBREW® GLASS

- CARAFE MODE

First Time Use Only

We recommend flushing the machine
to remove any dust particles or residues
from the manufacturing process. Follow
the proceeding instructions, ensuring to
completely fill the water tank (Step 1) and
select the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting
(Step 4). However do not add any coffee
to the coffee basket. Once the cycle is

complete, discard the water from the carafe
and repeat the cycle again for best results.
The machine is now ready to use.

CAUTION

We recommend using cold, filtered
water. We do not recommend the use of
de-mineralized or distilled water as this
may affect the taste of brewed coffee
and how the coffee machine is designed
to function.

1. Fill the Water Tank

Press to open the flip-top lid. Pour the
desired amount of cold, preferably filtered
water into the tank using a jug or the
provided carafe. The LCD screen will
indicate the amount of water in the tank as
it is filled. This amount will be brewed. The
machine will beep when full and the water
level float will rise to indicate the maximum
level. Do not exceed the 12 cup maximum.
Doing so may cause the carafe to overflow
or water spillage at the back of the machine.
Close the flip-top lid.

NOTE

Check the water level on the LCD
screen before use. The water tank
should be refilled with cold, preferably
filtered water. Do not fill with any
other liquid.

NOTE

Never pour water into the bean
hopper or grinding chamber area.
Doing so can cause the grinder to
clog. Only re-commence use when
the grinding chamber and grinding
burrs are completely dry. Refer to
Troubleshooting, ‘Moisture clogging
grinder’, page 29.

NOTE

Never fill the water tank once the
coffee machine has started a brewing
cycle. This will affect the volume
dispensed into the carafe.

2. Pre-Warm the Carafe

A warm carafe will help maintain the
coffee’s optimal temperature and keep
coffee hotter for longer. Press the lid release
button to open the carafe lid. Fill the carafe
with hot tap water for about 30 seconds
then discard the water. Ensure the carafe is
completely empty and the lid is completely
closed before placing the carafe under the
drip stop outlet. Starting a brew cycle with
water or coffee in the carafe will cause the
carafe to over flow.

3. Select ‘Carafe’ Mode

Press the CARAFE button. The LCD

‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting. This
will disable the burr grinder. Add pre­ground coffee to the gold tone filter
or a paper filter (8-12 cup, flat base
basket style with ~ 3¼"/8.25cm base).
We recommend 1 level tablespoon of
pre-ground coffee per 5oz/150ml cup
of water. Adjust the amount according
to your individual taste. The maximum
capacity for pre-ground coffee is
16 level tablespoons. Exceeding this
amount may cause overflow.

When using the machine for the first
time, we recommend selecting the
‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting, however
omitting the addition of pre-ground
coffee. This will flush the machine and
remove any dust particles or residues
from the manufacturing process.

5. Start the Brew Cycle

Press the START | CANCEL button. The
grinder will commence grinding the
correct amount of coffee for the selected
brew size and strength. If the
‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting has been
selected, the grinder will be disabled.

NOTE

Steam may emit from the rear steam
vent during grinding and brewing.
This is normal.

The count-down timer will then begin. The
time displayed is an estimate only and will
depend on the amount and strength settings
you have selected.

The LCD screen will display:

a) ‘PRE-HEATING’ as the water is heated

to the optimal temperature. The
pre-heating time will depend on the
starting temperature of the water in
the water tank.

Hot water and coffee can cause injury.

6. Using the Brew Pause Feature

The Brew Pause feature temporarily
ceases the flow of coffee when the carafe is
removed so a cup can be poured mid-brew.
Do not remove the carafe for longer than
20 seconds or the coffee may overflow the
coffee basket.

7. Empty the Coffee Basket

Once the brewing cycle is complete, the
ready signal will sound and a winding sound
will be heard. This is normal. The coffee
machine will automatically shut-off, however
the LCD screen will flash ‘EMPTY COFFEE
FILTER’ as a reminder to remove the coffee
basket and discard the used grinds. Wash
the coffee basket, taking particular care to
rinse the chute area. Then dry the coffee
basket and chute area thoroughly.

We also recommend checking the coffee
grinds chute disc for any build-up of coffee
grinds. This is the stainless steel disc that is
visible when the swing-out door is opened.
A build-up of grinds on this disc can affect
the performance of the machine. Wipe the
disc clean then dry thoroughly.

CAUTION

The coffee basket and gold tone or
paper filter may still be very hot after
brewing. Use caution and allow to cool
before removing.

6. Start the Brew Cycle

Press the START | CANCEL button.
The grinder will commence grinding
the correct amount of coffee for the
selected brew size and strength. If the

selected, the grinder will be disabled.

NOTE

Steam may emit from the rear steam
vent during grinding and brewing.
This is normal.

and buttons

The count-down timer will then begin. The
time displayed is an estimate only and will
depend on the amount, strength and flavor
settings you have selected. The LCD screen
will display:

a) ‘PRE-HEATING’ as the water is heated

to the optimal temperature. The
pre-heating time will depend on the
starting temperature of the water in
the water tank.

b) ‘STEEPING’ as coffee and water are

steeped together.

c) ‘BREWING’ as the coffee is dispensed

into the cup.

To stop the cycle at any time, press the
START | CANCEL button. You will hear
a winding sound. This is normal.

CAUTION

Never open the swing-out door
and remove the coffee basket while
brewing. Hot water and coffee can
cause injury.

7. Empty the Coffee Basket

Once the brewing cycle is complete, the
ready signal will sound and a winding sound
will be heard. This is normal. The coffee
machine will automatically shut-off, however
the LCD screen will flash ‘EMPTY COFFEE
FILTER’ as a reminder to remove the coffee
basket and discard the used grinds. Wash
the coffee basket, taking particular care to
rinse the chute area. Then dry the coffee
basket and chute area thoroughly.

We also recommend checking the coffee
grinds chute disc for any build-up of coffee
grinds. This is the stainless steel disc that is
visible when the swing-out door is opened.
A build-up of grinds on this disc can affect
the performance of the machine. Wipe the
disc clean then dry thoroughly.

CAUTION

The coffee basket, gold tone or paper
filter may still be very hot after
brewing. Use caution and allow to
cool before removing.

NOTE

If using the gold tone filter, you
may notice the brewing cycle finish
before the ready signal sounds.
This is normal. The total brewing
time displayed on the LCD screen is
calculated using paper filters as coffee
passes through paper filters slower.

8. Warming Plate

The warming plate will automatically
turn on during the brewing process then
automatically turn off after brewing is
complete. Use caution as the warming
plate will be hot during brewing and for
approximately 5 minutes after brewing.

CAUTION

Use caution when removing the cup
from the warming plate as both the cup
and warming plate will be hot.
