CARE & CLEANING

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 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.Press the POWER button to turn the machine on.

2.Unlock and remove the bean hopper.

3.Open the swing-out door. The coffee grinds chute will rotate to the open position. You may hear a winding sound, this is normal.
