BREW MODES
• FAST: This mode is to deliver the fastest
brewed co ee.
• GOLD (recommended): This mode meets the
criteria for an optimum brew and the gold cup
standard* requirements of ECBC (European
Co ee Brewing Center) using the Cone Filter
basket and water volumes of 1.0L & 1.2L
together with a brew ratio of 60g of co ee to 1.0L
of water.
• STRONG: This brewing mode delivers a stronger
tasting co ee.
• MY BREW: Allows you to customise every
brew setting.
−Bloom Time: Co ee bloom occurs when
hot water hits the ground co ee. This setting
allows you to adjust how long the bloom time
lasts.We recommend 30‑60 seconds.
−Bloom Volume:You can adjust the amount
of water used for blooming by changing this
setting. Ideally, this will be around 10% of the
brew volume.
−Brewing Temp: You can adjust the
temperature of the brew water to suit your
favourite co ee.
−Flow Rate: You can adjust brewing time
to control contact time by adjusting the
water delivery speed.
• POUR OVER: If you are using the Pour Over
Adapter, use this mode. Adapter sold separately.

Care &
Cleaning
Always turn the co ee machine o and remove the
plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING THE COFFEE BASKET
AND MESH BASKET FILTER
Remove the co ee basket. Discard any ground
co ee and  lter paper. The co ee basket and
mesh basket  lter can be rinsed under running
water. Ensure the  ne holes of the mesh basket
 lter are clear. For a deeper clean, wash the co ee
basket and mesh basket  lter in warm, soapy water
with a soft bristled brush.
CAUTION
The co ee basket, mesh basket or paper  lter
may still be very hot after brewing. Use caution and
allow to cool before removing.
CLEANING THE CARAFE
After each use, empty the carafe. Do not let brewed
co ee stand overnight as this can cause the carafe
to stain. Rinse the carafe and carafe lid under warm
running water. For a deeper clean, we recommend
regularly washing the carafe in warm, soapy water
using a soft bristled brush. Do not use abrasive
cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the
surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE SHOWERHEAD
Simply wipe down the showerhead area
periodically. However, if a more thorough clean
is required, the Showerhead can be removed by
unlocking the Showerhead Ring. Rotate clockwise
then remove the Showerhead for cleaning. Once
complete, reinstall the Showerhead.
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING
The outer housing and LCD screen can be
cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Apply cleaner to
the cloth and not the LCD surface. Polish with a
soft, dry cloth. Cleaning and drying with dry paper
towels or abrasive cloths and cleaners may scratch
the surface.
REPLACING THE WATER FILTER
The provided water  lter helps prevent scale
build‑up in and on many of the inner functioning
components. Replacing the water  lter when
indicated on the screen or after 3 months will
reduce the need to descale.

14
DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in internal components, reducing the
brewing ow, brewing temperature, power of the
machine, and taste of the coee.
We recommend to descale regularly.When LCD
shows “DESCALE” (ashing), descaling cycle
is needed but the cycle can be performed at
anytime. Descaler is available on the Sage website.
NOTE
It takes approximately 33 minutes to complete
descaling cycle.
1. Empty the water tank and remove the water
lter.
2. Prepare a descale solution in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions. Pour this solution
into the empty water tank , do not exceed MAX
marking.
3. Place the basket and the carafe into position
under the drip stop outlet, Ensure the carafe
is empty and the lid is securely locked.
4. Navigate SETTINGS menu to DESCALE.
Press SELECT dial to start the cycle.The time
remaining will display on the LCD.
5. When the descaling process is nished, the
LCD screen will go back to the main menu.
To completely remove residual water in the
tank, brew with fresh water twice. Discard the
water from the carafe and rinse thoroughly.
NOTE
We recommend to brew through again after
descaling to brew out the residue descale solution.
NOTE
You cannot stop the descaling process mid cycle.
Force stop by unplugging the cord from the
power outlet.
FACTORY RESET
This will reset the machine to the factory settings,
including water hardness setting. Hold the START
button, the SELECT button, and AUTO START
button altogether for 3 seconds. When LCD shows
“rES” (ashing), press SELECT button to start.
Rotate between YES or NO and press to conrm.
