carafe.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

This product is designed to be used with a water

lter installed in the water tank. Not doing so will

aect the internal components and performance of

the appliance.

The lter cartridges should be replaced regularly;

when indicated on the LCD screen.

NOTE

All water tank levels will be incorrect if the machine

is used without the water lter correctly installed.

1. Remove the water lter and water lter adapter

from the packaging.

BREWING A CARAFE

1. Select the correct basket and lter to suit the

amount of coee being brewed.

2 - 8 CUPS 8+ CUPS

8+ CUPS

CAUTION

Filling the basket without a mesh basket lter

or lter paper may cause the basket to overow

during the brewing cycle.

2. Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to

the MAX marking on the water tank.

NOTE

This machine will brew all the water in the tank.

Ensure the tank is not lled past the indicated MAX

marking.

3. Grind enough coee beans for the volume of

coee being brewed. For a full 12 cup carafe,

we recommend (108g) of coee, approximately

13 level Sage®measuring scoops. Roughly

1 scoop for every 150ml.

4. Insert the correct lter paper, cone or at

bottom, or mesh basket, into the brew basket.

Add your ground coee then insert the brew

basket into the machine.

NOTE

Never use both mesh basket lter and paper lter

at the same time.

5. Lock the carafe lid onto the carafe and insert

under the drip stop outlet.

CAUTION

The carafe MUST be in place before you brew

with the water level higher than the SINGLE CUP

marking. Otherwise the coee basket will overow.

COFFEE/WATER RATIO

We recommend 1 level Sage scoop of coee grounds per 150ml cup of water. Adjust the amount

according to your individual taste. The maximum capacity for pre-ground coee is 12 level Sage scoops.

Exceeding this amount may cause the coee basket to overow.
