Operating your breville gourmet single cup brewer™

Installing the water filter

• For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, Breville recommends using bottled or filtered water.
• The Water Filter provided with the Brewer can significantly reduce substances that affect the smell and taste of water such as free chlorine, certain pesticides and organic impurities as well as traces of heavy metals.

NOTE: The Water Filter can be removed from the Brewer. If you choose to install the Water Filter, it is recommended to replace the filter every 2 months or 60 tank refills, more often if you have hard water. We recommend removing the Water Filter if using filtered water, or if you choose not to replace the Water Filter every 2 months, as the filter may clog and affect the smell and taste of the water. If you choose not to install the Water Filter, you are ready to start the One-time Priming Process

NOTE: Do not use water that has been treated by a 'water softener'. The increase in sodium levels in the water can cause scaling in the brewer and hinder its performance.

Follow these steps each time you install a new Water Filter to ensure it filters optimally.

1. Remove the Water Tank from the Brewer by gripping the handle located on the left side of the Water Tank, then lift upwards
2. Remove the Water Tank Lid.
3. Rinse the Water Tank with fresh water and replace back onto the Brewer.
4. Remove the Upper and Lower Filter Holder and Water Filter from the polybag. Unwrap the Water Filter from its protective plastic..
5. Soak the Water Filter for 5 minutes then rinse for 30 seconds. It is normal to see a grey residue after soaking the filter..
6. Wash the Lower Filter Holder, ensuring the stainless steel mesh is free of residue.
7. Insert the Water Filter into the Upper Filter Holder, then attach the Lower Filter Holder so it locks into place.
8. Set the date dial on the Upper Filter Holder 2 months ahead. This will remind you when the Charcoal Filter will need to be replaced.
9. Place the assembled Filter Holder into the Water Tank, aligning so the date dial is visible from outside the Tank. Push down hard on the assembled Filter Holder until it snaps into place.
10. Your Brewer is ready for the one-time priming process.

NOTE: Replace the Water Filter every 2 months, or 60 tank refills, more if you have hard water. To order replacement Water Filters, visit www.breville.com. We recommend removing the Water Filter if you choose not to replace the Water Filter every 2 months, as the filter may clog and affect the smell and taste of the water.

One-time priming process

• Priming fills the internal tank with water and cleanses the brewing system. You cannot use your Brewer until it has been primed for its first use.
• NOTE: If the Brewer has been exposed to temperatures below freezing, allow the Brewer at least two hours to reach room temperature before priming. A frozen or extremely cold Brewer will not prime properly and can cause damage.

1. Disassemble the Water Filter by removing the Lower Filter Holder from the Upper Filter Holder. Discard the Water Filter.
2. Wash the Upper and Lower Filter Holder in warm soapy water with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Both parts are also top-shelf dishwasher safe. NOTE: Replace the Water Filter every 2 months, or 60 tank refills, more if you have hard water.

To order replacement Water Filters, visit www.breville.com.

We recommend removing the Water Filter if you choose not to replace the Water Filter every 2 months, as the filter may clog and affect the smell and taste of the water.

Descaling the brewer

• Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder the Brewer’s performance. Descaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water.
• NOTE: Do not use water that has been treated by a 'water softener'. The increase in sodium levels in the water can cause scaling in the brewer and hinder its performance.
• The Brewer should be descaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to descale more often.
• This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect when scale buildup is interfering with the performance of the Brewer. When this is detected, the LCD screen will indicate ’DESCALE’.
• NOTE: The Brewer will continue to operate even when the LCD screen indicates ‘DESCALE’.
• However, if you do not descale the Brewer soon after it is displayed, continued scale build-up could damage the Brewer. If this occurs, ‘DESCALE’ will begin to flash, alerting you to the potential damage to the Brewer if you do not descale immediately.
• Promptly follow these steps each time the LCD screen indicates ‘DESCALE’ to ensure the Brewer functions optimally
  1. Empty the Water Tank.
  2. Pour vinegar into the Water Tank, filling up to the 'MAX' mark on the water tank viewing window.
  3. Place a 12 oz. or larger ceramic cup (do not use a plastic cup) on the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate can be removed to accomodate taller mugs and travel mugs
  4. Select the largest brew size (11.25 oz. serving) by pressing the button on the control panel.
  5. Run a cleansing brew without a K-Cup® (refer to Brewing Hot Water, page 18). Pour the contents of the cup into the sink.
  6. Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Water Tank is empty, pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. Remember to raise and lower the Safety Locking Arm between each cycle so the control panel buttons illuminate.
  7. Let the Brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on.
  8. Rinse the Water Tank thoroughly and fill with fresh water.
  9. Place a 12 oz. or larger ceramic cup (do not use a plastic cup) on the Drip Tray.
  10. Run a cleansing brew without a K-Cup® (refer to Brewing Hot Water, page 18). Pour the contents of the cup into the sink.
  11. Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Water Tank is empty, pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. You may need to perform additional rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste. Remember to raise and lower the Safety Locking Arm between each cycle so the control panel buttons illuminate.
  12. Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet for at least 15 minutes, then re-plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The machine is now ready to use.

NOTE: If the LCD screen continues to indicate ‘DESCALE’ after completing the process, repeat the 'Descaling the Brewer' process

Storage

Before cleaning or moving the Brewer to a different location, ensure the Brewer has been turned off. Switch off at the wall outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. The Water Tank should be emptied and dried thoroughly.

• Store your Brewer in its upright position to avoid water leakage from the inner tank.
• Store your Brewer in a frost free environment. Storing the Brewer in a cold environment runs the risk of water freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage. If your Brewer has been stored in an environment below freezing, ensure to let it warm to room temperature for at least 2 hours before using.
• When preparing to use the Brewer after storage, we recommend rinsing the Water Tank with fresh water and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup ® (refer to Brewing Hot Water, page 18).
