Important safeguards • Carefully read all instructions before operating the appliance for the first time and save for future reference. • Do not attempt to use this appliance for any other than the intended use, described in these instructions. Any other use, especially misuse, can cause severe injuries or damage by electric shock, heat or fire.
• 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.
• The installation of a residual current device (safety switch) is recommended to provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. It is advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA be installed in the electrical circuit supplying the appliance. See your electrician for professional advice. CAUTION We recommend using cold, filtered water.
Initial set up 1. Install the Bean Hopper Position the hopper onto the machine. Turn the locking knob clockwise in the direction of the LOCK arrow until it clicks. Fill the hopper with fresh beans. We recommend always keeping the hopper full (250g maximum) to ensure there are sufficient beans. However, never overpack the hopper as this may result in the grinder jamming. Replace the hopper lid.
Close the coffee basket lid. Press the OPEN button to open the swing-out door. Attach the coffee basket to the swing-out door by ensuring the hinge area of the coffee basket is firmly seated in its most downward position on the two door hooks. Close the door until it clicks shut. CLICK NOTE: The safety interlock system will prevent operation if the coffee basket is not in place, if it is not firmly seated on the two door hooks, or if the swing-out door is not closed.
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. Remove the carafe lid by turning counter-clockwise then lifting upwards. Fill the carafe with hot water for about 30 seconds then discard the water.
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.
8. Pour and Enjoy Ensure the carafe lid is securely locked in position. There is no need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring. The lid automatically opens when pouring and closes when not to keep coffee hot. CAUTION Hot steam may rise when pouring. The bottom of the carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing. Use caution and ensure not to set the carafe on a heat sensitive surface.
2. Pre-Warm the Cup or Travel Mug A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature and keep coffee hotter for longer. Fill the cup with hot water for about 30 seconds then discard the water. Place the cup into position under the drip stop outlet. TIP: For taller cups and travel mugs, remove the drip tray at the base of the machine. Press the OPEN button to open the swing-out door. Insert the cup/mug into the drip tray cavity before closing the swing-out door.
The amounts above are approximate only. Actual amounts may vary due to the type of filter used, the coffee bean size, roast, blend and freshness, or amount and type of pre-ground coffee used. 4. Select the Brew Strength or ‘PRE-GROUND’ Coffee Setting Press the STRENGTH | FLAVOUR button. The LCD screen will flash the current strength setting and the and buttons will illuminate and flash.

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.
PROGRAMMING AUTO-START (OPTIONAL) The Auto-Start feature allows you to program the specific time when the coffee machine will automatically turn on and start the preheating and grinding cycle. 1. Ensure the clock is set. 2. Press the PROGRAM button until the LCD screen displays ‘START AT’. Once this appears, press and hold the PROGRAM button until the LCD screen displays a flashing hour. 3.

While the icon flashes, use the desired volume. The volume is selected once the icon stops flashing. The selected volume will main displayed on the LCD screen.
Longlife-Filter leaving sediment in the cup or carafe. The resulting coffee will be over extracted, too dark and bitter. If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour. • Always use ground coffee suitable for use with a drip filter coffee machine. Never use espresso grind as the finer grind size may cause the coffee basket to overflow. General Tips • Pre-heat the carafe or cup for best results.
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.

Cleaning the Outer Housing The outer housing and LCD screen can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Apply cleanser to the cloth and not the LCD surface. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Cleaning and drying with dry paper towels or abrasive cloths and cleaners may scratch the surface. Removing Calcium Build-Up Your coffee machine may experience build-up from calcium and minerals contained in your water. This ‘scale’ or mineral build-up will affect the machine’s performance and coffee quality.
• Once the cycle is complete, discard the water from the carafe. For best results, repeat this process. 3. Rinse the Machine Follow the de-scaling process (Step 2) with two full tanks of water or until the vinegar is gone. The machine is now ready to use. Note: You may choose to use a domestic de-scaling agent instead of vinegar and water. Look for one that is designed for use with drip coffee machines. Follow the de-scaler to water proportions on the de-scaler packaging, however follow the above procedure.
