Operating your Breville Aroma Style Coffee Maker

Before first use
Before brewing your coffee for the very first time, clean the Aroma Style Electronic Coffee Maker thoroughly as follows:

1. Lift the water tank lid and fill the water tank with cold water to the maximum mark.
2. Insert plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then switch on at the outlet.
3. Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place. Close the water tank lid.
4. Position the empty carafe, with the lid on, onto the hot plate and switch the Coffee Maker on. The light above the on/off button will illuminate and the water will start to drip through.
5. When the water has dripped through, press the on/off button to switch the Coffee Maker off. Remove the carafe from the hot plate, empty and wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   The Aroma Style Electronic Coffee Maker is now ready for use.

Permanent stainless steel mesh filter basket
Note

• This filter basket is provided to ensure optimal flavour extraction from the finely ground coffee into the brewed coffee.
• The filter basket is removable and should be washed in warm, soapy water after each use, then rinsed and dried thoroughly. Replace back into the filter holder.
• Disposable paper coffee filters are not necessary and should not be used with or without the permanent stainless steel mesh filter basket.

Setting the clock to the time of day on the LCD
Note

• The clock does not have to be set to the time of day for the manual operation of the Coffee Maker
• The clock has to be set for time of day for the automatic operation of the Coffee Maker.

To set the clock to the time of day:

1. When the Coffee Maker is plugged in and switched on at the power outlet the LCD will flash 12:00 and the AM icon in the top left hand corner.
2. Press the ’HOUR‘ button to select the current hour time. Press and hold the ’HOUR‘ button to scroll through numbers quickly. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, press and release the button to advance one digit at a time. (AM is indicated in the upper left hand corner of the clock display and PM in the lower left hand corner).
3. Press the ’MIN‘ button to select the current minute time. Press and hold the ’MIN‘ button to scroll through numbers quickly. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, press and release the button to advance one digit at a time.

Brewing coffee – manual operation

1. Lift the water tank lid and fill the water tank with cold water. The number of cups is shown by the water level indicator. Do not exceed the maximum fill level. It is recommended not to make less than 4 cups.
   Note
   There are two drip holes on the back of the water tank to prevent exceeding the capacity of the Coffee Maker. If too much water is added it will flow from these holes down the back of the Coffee Maker.

2. Insert plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then switch on at the outlet.

3. Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place. Insert the stainless steel mesh filter basket into the filter holder.

4. Spoon ground coffee into the stainless steel mesh filter basket. Allow approximately 1 heaped teaspoon of ground coffee for each cup of brewed coffee. Close the water tank lid.

5. Position the empty carafe, with the lid on, onto the hot plate.

6. Press the on/off button to switch the Coffee Maker on. The light above the on/off button will illuminate and the coffee will start to drip through.
   Note

   • While the non-drip feature is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee mid-cycle, we recommend you wait until the completion
     of the brew cycle, as the strength and flavour of the coffee poured mid-cycle will vary from the finished brew.

   • While this temporarily stops the coffee from dripping into the carafe, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After pouring a cup of coffee, the carafe should immediately be returned to the hot plate for completion of the brewing cycle and to prevent the filter basket from over flowing.

7. The non-drip valve feature allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle before the entire carafe has finished filling.

8. When the brewing process ends and the water tank level indicator is on empty, there will still be hot liquid in the filter basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.

9. After the coffee grounds have cooled, open the water tank lid and carefully remove the mesh filter basket by grasping the handle, and lifting straight up from the filter basket holder.

10. The hot plate will keep the coffee hot for two hours as long as the Coffee Maker is switched on.

11. Always switch the Coffee Maker off when the carafe is empty or when you no longer want to keep the coffee hot.
    Note
    If you wish to brew another carafe of coffee immediately, press the on/off button to off, switch off at the power outlet and unplug, clean the carafe and the stainless steel mesh filter basket, then follow the steps under ‘Brewing coffee’.

Brewing tea

• The Coffee Maker can be used for brewing tea if desired. Simply place 4-6 teabags or teaspoons of tea in the stainless steel mesh filter basket and follow the same procedure as for brewing coffee.
• It is advisable to thoroughly clean out the coffee residue in the stainless steel mesh filter basket and filter basket holder before brewing tea and vice versa.

Cleaning

• Before cleaning ensure that the on/off button is in the off position. Switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the Coffee Maker to cool.
• Open the water tank lid and remove the stainless steel mesh filter basket. The stainless steel mesh filter basket, filter basket holder and carafe can be washed in hot soapy water then rinsed and dried thoroughly.
• The outer housing can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths which can damage the surface). The warming plate can be wiped with a clean damp cloth when necessary.
  Note
  Do not try to clean the inside of the water chamber with a cloth, this will leave a residue of lint and may clog your Coffee Maker. Just rinse with cold water periodically.

Removal of mineral deposits
Mineral deposits from hard water can build up in the water tank and internal tubes. If these deposits are not removed, the brew time will be extended.

To remove mineral deposits

1. Fill the water tank to the maximum mark with 2/3 cold tap water and 1/3 white vinegar.
2. Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place. Close the water tank lid.
3. Position the carafe, with the lid on, on the hot plate and switch the Coffee Maker on. Allow the mixture to drip through the machine until the cycle is complete.
4. Once the cycle is complete empty the carafe and refill the water tank with water. Place the carafe back into position on the hot plate.
5. Switch the Coffee Maker on and allow the fresh water to drip through. Once the cycle is complete, switch the machine off and empty the carafe. Mineral deposits will have been removed from the water tank and internal pipes.

Storage

• Press the on/off button to off, switch off at the power outlet and unplug.
• Ensure all water has been removed from the Coffee Maker.
• Wash the mesh filter basket, carafe and lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Replace all parts back into position in the Coffee Maker and close the water tank lid.
• Store upright on the bench top or in a cupboard.

Handy hints

• Coffee strength and flavour is an individual preference. It is suggested that you experiment with different brands, flavours and amounts of coffee.
• Always use finely ground coffee for drip filter coffee makers. If the coffee is too coarse the water will pass rapidly through the Coffee Maker resulting in poor extraction of coffee flavour.
• To maintain coffee freshness, store opened packets of coffee in an air tight container in a cool dark place.
• Brewed coffee can be kept hot for an indefinite period of time, however the flavour of the coffee will deteriorate with time.
