OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
FRESH IS BEST
To get the most out of your Grind Control™ coffee brewer we recommend using quality freshly roasted whole bean coffee & grind right before you brew. Coffee is at its peak flavor potential 5-20 days after roasting.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Your Grind Control™ coffee brewer is the first drip coffee maker with an adjustable built-in grinder and calibration mode. The adjustable grinder features machined stainless steel burrs that allow you to adjust the coarseness or fineness to optimize flavor balance.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Unpack all parts and accessories before removing and safely discarding all packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the
power cord is unplugged from the power outlet. Wipe the exterior stainless steel housing with a soft, damp cloth. Wash the bean hopper and lid, coffee basket, gold tone filter and carafe in warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
INITIAL SET UP
- 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 (0.5lb maximum) to ensure there are sufficient beans. However, never over-pack the hopper as this may result in the grinder jamming. Replace the hopper lid.
NOTE
For easy removal, transfer and storage of beans, the hopper can be removed by turning the locking knob counterclockwise in the direction of the UNLOCK arrow. If you have removed the hopper, ensure it is securely reassembled back onto the machine. The safety interlock system will prevent operation if the hopper is incorrectly assembled. The LCD screen will flash ‘LOCK BEAN HOPPER’
until the issue is resolved.
HELPFUL TIPS
This is used to RESET the machine to the factory settings. These include the CLOCK, AUTO START ON time and the Grinder output times. If you have used the CALIBRATE function and the grinder output is unsuitable, use the RESET to restore the grinder output time to the factory settings.
- Press the MENU|EXIT button.
- Rotate the STRENGTH dial to RESET.
- Press the STRENGTH dial to select.
- YES will be displayed, flashing.
- Press the STRENGTH button to confirm.
- The machine will beep to confirm the RESET.
CARE & 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.
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. It is critical that scale build-up be removed. How often you de-scale will depend on the hardness of your water and the frequency of use. For best results, Breville recommends de-scaling once per month in soft water
environments and more frequently in hard water environments.
TROUBLESHOOTING
ADVANCED FEATURES
Your Grind Control™ coffee brewer is equipped with some advanced features that usually only need to be used occasionally. These are
outlined below:
ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
Your Grind Control™ coffee brewer is fitted with Adjustable Stainless Steel burrs. These flat burrs deliver a coffee particle of optimum size for Drip Filter brewing. You may need to adjust the grind size to compensate for coffee of different origins, quality, age and degree of roast. Grind setting 3 should cover most coffees you purchase but there are circumstances that require the grind size to be adjusted.
HELPFUL TIPS
RESET FUNCTION
This is used to RESET the machine to the factory settings. These include the CLOCK, AUTO START ON time and the Grinder
output times. If you have used the CALIBRATE function and the grinder output is unsuitable, use the RESET to restore the grinder output time to the factory settings.
- Press the MENU|EXIT button.
- Rotate the STRENGTH dial to RESET.
- Press the STRENGTH dial to select.
- YES will be displayed, flashing.
- Press the STRENGTH button to confirm
- The machine will beep to confirm the RESET.
PRE-GROUND COFFEE
We recommend 1 level tablespoon of pre-ground coffee per 5oz/150ml cup of water. Adjust the amount according to your individual taste. The maximum capacity for pre-ground coffee is 12 level tablespoons. Exceeding this amount may cause the coffee basket to overflow.
