Start the Brew Cycle, Empty the Coffee Basket

USING THE YOUBREW™ - CARAFE MODE

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.

b)‘BREWING’ as the coffee is dispensed into the carafe.

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

CAUTION

Never open the swing-out door and remove the coffee basket while brewing. 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 noise 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.

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.
