PROGRAMMING THE CLOCK (OPTIONAL)

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 ‘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, 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 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.

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, 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.
