SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short power cord to reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with a longer cord.
Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the lectrical rating of the appliance, (2) the cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally and (3) the extension cord must include a 3-prong grounding plug.
NOTE
This appliance has a three-wire grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarised outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit properly into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not use an adaptor or modify the plugin anyway. Do not connect the appliance to an external switch or device (such as a timer, monitor or remote circuit) that can be switched on and off.

Tips

Decanting
The right storage and the right preparation can literally transform a wine. Decanting involves delivering purified oxygen to wine to enhance flavours, creating a softer texture and introducing dynamic tastes.
It is important to set the right oxygenating time as excess oxygen can result in loss of fruit characters, reduced aroma, and bitterness.
Refer to experts’ recommendations in this booklet or iFAVINE Mini app. Also we recommend trying different settings as the ideal decanting time can vary depending on personal taste and wine age. In general, highly extracted, heavily wooded, youthful, or reds need longer decanting, while the more delicate, aged, or whites only need light decanting.

NOTE
We recommend you to try short cycles multiple times to figure out the ideal duration, as decanting too much can ruin the wine.

Highly Purified & Concentrated Oxygen
The So2mmelier filters the ambient air to remove any impurities (moisture, dust, odors)
and isolates oxygen from nitrogen and CO2.
It aerates wine with a constant flow of purified and highly concentrated oxygen. This means that any wine will be served with a constant
quality no matter when or where it is decanted.

Hand Made Glass Carafe
Purified and highly concentrated oxygen flows upwards into the specially designed tube inside the glass carafe. It then reverses direction, and flows downwards and back out into every particle of wine.

out

The glass carafe evenly diffuses oxygen throughout the entire wine, not just the surface.
It rounds out tannins to provide a smooth mouthfeel and sublimes all aromas for the full flavor of the wine.

Time Efficiency

Efficiency

The So2mmelier reduces the decanting time from hours to just minutes, retaining the full flavors and aromas that the winemaker intended to deliver to your palate. This prevents prolonged exposure of the wine to damaging elements and ambient temperature. As a result, it preserves all the complicated flavors and aromas.

Care & Cleaning

ADDITIONAL CARAFE
Additional 750ml carafe or 200ml carafe is available at Breville.com.
CLEANING THE GLASS CARAFE
When finished using, rinse with warm water and let dry. You can add some sea salt to rinse it more thoroughly. Rinse by swirling the water in a circular motion.
CAUTION
The glass carafe is fragile. Use caution especially for the thin part that connects the carafe bottom and central pole. Do not apply force on the central pole.
CLEANING THE MAIN UNIT
Disconnect from the power outlet. Wipe the exterior housing with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, pads, or cloths which can scratch the surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Rinse by swirling the water in a circular motion.
AIR FILTER MESH REPLACEMENT
When the mesh is dusty, wash and dry it for reuse or replace it with the spare one provided.
