Setting the Clock  
When the Grind & Brew Plus is plugged in, “12:00” will appear until you set the time.  
Entering “Time Set” mode:  
To set the time, press and hold either the “Hours” or “Minutes” button until the clock begins to flash  
(approx. 2 seconds). This signals that you have entered the “Time set” mode. The desired time can be  
set by pressing the “Hours” and “Minutes” buttons to scroll forward through the digits. The buttons  
can be held down to scroll through the digits, or pressed and released lightly to advance one digit at  
a time.  
N.B. Be careful to make sure that the “PM” indicator is on if a “PM” time is desired.  
Exiting “Time Set” mode:  
There are 2 ways to exit the “Time Set Mode”:  
ß Press any button besides the “Hours” or “Minutes” button. This will exit the “Time Set” mode and  
activated the selected function.  
ß Do not press any of the buttons on the control panel. If neither “Hours” nor “Minutes” button is  
pressed for a period of 5 seconds, the “Time Set” mode will be exited automatically.  
11  
 
Setting the Programme Time  
This feature allows you to pre-programme brewing for the desired time. By pressing the ’Programme’  
button the digital display shows the current programme time. This default setting is 12:00pm.  
Entering “Set Programme Time” mode:  
Press and hold the “Programme Set” button until the green light and LCD display begin to flash,  
this signals that you have entered the “Set Programme Time” mode. The desired time can be set by  
pressing the “Hours” and “Minutes” buttons to scroll forward through the digits. The buttons can be  
held down to scroll through the digits or pressed and released lightly to advance one digit at a time.  
The coffee maker will start to brew at the programmed time.  
N.B. The “Programme” mode cannot be entered if the coffeemaker is in a “brew” cycle.  
N.B. When setting the programme time, ensure coffee and water are placed in the machine before  
the automatic start (see “Preparing to Brew”)  
Exiting “Set Programme Time” mode:  
There are 3 ways to exit the “Set Programme Time”:  
ß Press the “Programme” button, this acts as a “cancel” button and will cause the coffeemaker to  
revert to its previous state. If it was OFF, it will return to the OFF position. If “Programmed” it will  
revert to this state, and so on. This is a safety feature.  
ß Press any other button (except “Hours” or “Minutes”). “Set Programme Time” mode will be exited  
and the function of that button will be activated.  
ß Leave the control. If neither “Hours” nor “Minutes” button is pressed for a period of 5 seconds, the  
“Set Programme Time” mode will be exited automatically and the programmed setting will be in  
effect.

Inserting the Charcoal water filter  
N.B. Your appliance is supplied with two charcoal water filters.  
It is strongly recommended that the water filter is replaced after 90 days or 90 uses; more often if you  
have hard water. Failure to do so can lead to a build-up of lime scale and affect the performance of  
your appliance. Replacement filters can be purchased directly from the manufacturer, (see “UK After  
Sales Service” section for further details).  
ß Remove the filter from its packaging and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.  
ß To remove the water filter holder, simply lift it out from its opening on the inner wall of the  
reservoir.  
ß Hold stem in one hand. With your other hand, gently press the compartment door down and pull  
outwards to flip open.  
ß Place the filter in the holder and close the compartment cover; you will hear a snap indicating filter  
is in place.  
N.B. Caution must be used when inserting the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the holder can  
cause tearing of the filter skin.  
ß Hold the filter under cold running tap water for 10 seconds to flush. Hold the water filter holder hori-  
zontally, directly under the water stream so that the water flows through the filter compartment.  
ß Allow the filter to drain completely.  
ß Replace the water filter holder into its opening on the inner wall of the reservoir, pushing it all the way  
down to the base of the unit.

D
Preparing to Brew  
N.B. Before making coffee for the first time, we recommend operating the appliance once, using only  
water, to remove any dust or residue that may remain in the system from the manufacturing process.  
Ensure the burr grinder operates without beans for first use.  
Inserting the Filter  
ß Press the filter basket door release button and remove the filter basket cover. When removing the  
filter basket cover (especially after brewing) use the tab with the marking “lift” to do so as parts may  
be hot after use. Ensure the Gold Tone® filter is positioned with the handle facing away from main  
body of the appliance.  
N.B. If the handle is not facing away, it may interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter  
basket. Place the filter basket cover in place, ensuring that the “GRIND” arrow is matching the “LIFT”  
arrow and then close the filter compartment door.  
N.B. If the filter basket cover is not in place or the filter door is not shut properly, a safety interlock  
system will prevent operation. If you try to turn the unit on when parts are not in place, the appliance  
will beep continuously until the missing parts are installed and the filter door is closed. (The door will  
click when closed properly)

Adding Water & Coffee Beans  
ß Open the reservoir lid of the Grind & Brew Plus, pour the desired amount of water into the reservoir  
using the water level indicator. Close the reservoir lid ensuring not to exceed the 12-cup line as this  
may cause the carafe to over flow.  
ß Lift the Bean Hopper Lid and fill with desired quantity of beans. We recommend keeping the hopper  
at least half full and ensuring there is a sufficient amount of beans in the hopper for the amount of  
coffee that is intended for brewing.  
WARNING: Maximum capacity for the hopper is 225g. Do not over fill or you may damage the  
burr grinder and/or the unit may overflow.  
ß For easy filling or cleaning, the hopper can be completely removed by turning the hopper release  
knob to the “un-lock” position (picture 1 below)

IMPORTANT: Take extra care not to spill water around the grind chamber. In the event that some  
water is spilled in the chamber, dry thoroughly before use.  
ß Replace the hopper lid  
15  
 
Locking the Bean Hopper  
ß When replacing the hopper back onto the unit, ensure the hopper container release knob is in the  
un-lock position. Once in place, turn the knob back into the locked position  
N.B. If the hopper is not locked into place, the appliance will not operate. If you try to turn the unit on  
with the hopper is not locked into place the appliance will beep continuously until the missing parts  
are installed and you close the lid.  
N.B. The Channel Cover must be in place before grinding otherwise the appliance will not function.  
(see diagram below)  
Restarting the process will not affect coffee results. If you do not want the grinder to restart, press  
the “Grind off” button before pressing the ‘On/Off’ button. Once the hopper is locked back into pla-  
ce, the beeping will stop. Press the ‘On/Off’ button and the grind and brew process will start again  
from the beginning.

Preparing the Carafe  
ß Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the direction of the “unlock” arrow. Pre-warm the carafe by  
rinsing it out with hot water. N.B. This will help keep the coffee hotter.  
ß Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock, align the arrows on the lid and the carafe and turn in a  
clockwise direction until the lid fits tightly on carafe and the arrow lines up in the centre of the spout.  
This ensures the lid is locked into place and in the correct position for brewing and pouring.  
ß Replace the thermal carafe in its position on the resting plate. Plug the appliance into the mains.

Grinding and Brewing Coffee  
Now the coffee machine is ready to grind and brew.  
Immediate Brewing  
ß Turn the “Cup Quantity” knob to set the number of cups you want to brew, this will grind enough  
coffee beans to suit your requirement  
ß Press the “Strength Control” button to set the strength (MILD, MED, or STRONG) this will show on  
the LCD display.  
ß To start the grinding and brewing process, press the ‘On/Off’ button. The indicator light will illuminate  
and the process will begin.  
Programmed Brewing  
ß To set the appliance to start at a programmed time, refer to “Set Programme Time” section B.  
ß Turn the “Cup Quantity” knob to set the number of cups you want to brew, this will grind enough  
coffee beans to suit your requirement.  
ß Press the “Strength Control” button to set the strength (MILD, MED, or STRONG) this will show on  
the LCD display.  
ß The Grind & Brew Plus will begin brewing at the programmed time  
Brewed Coffee  
ß When the brewing cycle has completed, 5 beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the  
filter for several seconds afterwards.  
ß When the coffee is ready, stir before serving, to blend the flavours. The coffee at the bottom of the  
carafe will be stronger than that at the top.  
18  
 
ß The brew-through, pour-through lid allows coffee to drip from appliance through the closed lid.  
When brewing is complete, the lid seals itself so air stays out and coffee freshness and temperature  
are maintained. No need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring.  
ß After brewing, the appliance will automatically shut off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot  
for hours.  
ß The ‘Automatic Brew Pause’ feature allows you to remove the carafe during mid-brew. The brewing  
process does not stop during this period, only the flow of coffee from the basket to the carafe stops.  
WARNING: do not remove the carafe for longer than 20 second or the coffee may overflow the  
basket.  
N.B. Whilst we offer this feature for your convenience, we do not recommend that you pour coffee  
before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has  
a very different flavour profile to that made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the cycle  
will alter the flavour of the finished pot.  
CAUTION: The bottom of the thermal carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after  
brewing.  
19  
 
F
Brewing Coffee with Pre-ground Beans  
This appliance can also brew coffee using pre-ground beans. We recommend using 1 level scoop of  
ground coffee per cup.  
N.B The maximum basket capacity for ground coffee is 16 scoops. Exceeding this may cause the  
appliance to overflow.  
ß Open the filter door by pushing the release button and remove the filter basket lid.  
ß Scoop the ground coffee into the Gold Tone® filter. Place the filter basket lid in place and close the  
filter door.  
ß Add the water as described previously in section “Preparing to Brew”  
ß Prepare the carafe as previously described in “Preparing the carafe” section.  
ß Turn off the grinding function, by pressing the “Grind Off” button, an amber light will illuminate, then  
press the ‘On/Off’ button.  
ß Plug the appliance into a suitable mains socket and press the ‘On/Off’ button, the indicator will light  
and the brewing process will begin.  
ß For programmed brewing, set the timer as described in “setting the timer” section.  
N.B. If the filter basket cover is not in place or the filter door is not shut properly, a safety interlock  
system will prevent operation. If you try to turn the unit on when parts are not in place, the appliance  
will beep continuously until the missing parts are installed and the filter door is closed. (The door will  
click when closed properly)  
20  
 
Cleaning & Maintenance  
ß Completely clean and dry all parts after every use.  
ß Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
ß After every use, ensure the appliance has cooled down, open filter basket door by pressing filter  
basket door release button. Remove filter basket cover, lter basket and Gold Tone® filter. Discard  
ground coffee.  
ß The filter, lter basket and filter basket cover can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed  
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts thoroughly after every use.  
ß Once clean, replace all the parts.  
ß
Remove the carafe from the resting plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be  
washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher, on the upper rack only.  
ß Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleaning agents on any part of the appliance.  
ß Never immerse the main housing unit in water or other liquid. To clean the base, simply wipe with a  
clean damp cloth and dry before storing.  
ß Wipe resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or harsh cleaning  
agents to clean the resting plate.  
ß Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.  
Cleaning the Bean Hopper  
ß We suggest cleaning the hopper and coffee chute every 1-2 weeks depending on frequency of  
use.  
ß To clean the hopper, remove hopper container and lid by turning the hopper container release knob  
to the unlocked position. Discard any left over coffee beans.  
ß The hopper container and hopper container lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed  
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.  
ß IMPORTANT: Do not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been removed as  
this may cause damage to the appliance.  
21  
 
ß Wipe the area under the hopper container with a damp cloth.  
ß The coffee channel cover can be flipped back for easy cleaning of the coffee chute. Push the  
coffee channel cover tab away from you and lift up. Use a small brush to remove any ground coffee  
that remains. Brush grounds toward you (when facing the unit head-on) and pull the grind chute  
lever toward you to send grounds through the chute. Be sure the filter basket is in place to catch the  
grounds.  
ß NOTE: Failing to properly clean the coffee chute may lead to grind accumulations which can result  
in weak-tasting coffee.  
22  
 
Descaling  
ß Always use the charcoal water filters provided and replace on a regular basis (i.e. every 90 days or  
90 uses)  
ß It is strongly recommended that you descale the appliance from time to time. The frequency  
depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the appliance.  
To descale  
ß Fill the water reservoir completely with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and switch the  
appliance on. One cycle should be sufficient to de-scale the appliance.  
ß Press the “Grind Off” button, and turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the ‘On/Off’ button.  
ß Once the cycle has been completed and 5 beeps sound, switch the appliance off. Repeat the cycle  
once more using cold tap water.
