Frequently Asked Questions - VST038 BREVILLE

How do I set the timer on my Breville VST038 coffee maker?

Press the PROG button. The clock will flash. Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the time. Press PROG again. Then press AUTO ON to activate. The coffee maker will start brewing at the set time.

How do I descale the Breville VST038?

Use a descaling solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio). Fill the water tank, start a brew cycle without coffee. After the cycle, let it sit for 30 minutes, then run two clean water cycles. Rinse thoroughly.

What type of water filter does the VST038 use?

It uses a Breville charcoal water filter (model BWF100). Replace every 60 days or after 60 uses, indicated by the filter icon.

Why is my coffee maker not brewing?

Check that the water tank is properly seated and filled. Ensure the carafe is placed correctly. If the brew pause feature is stuck, try removing and reinserting the carafe. Also check if the filter basket is clogged.

Can I use paper filters with the VST038?

Yes, it is designed for #4 cone-shaped paper filters. You can also use the permanent filter if included, but paper filters are recommended for optimal flavor.

How do I clean the thermal carafe?

Wash the carafe with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The carafe is hand-wash recommended, though some parts may be dishwasher-safe. Refer to the manual.

What is the brew strength selector?

The selector lets you choose between Mild, Regular, and Strong. Strong mode extends the brewing time for a bolder flavor. Press the button to cycle through options.

How long does the keep warm function last?

The keep warm function keeps the coffee hot for up to 2 hours after brewing. The coffee maker will then automatically shut off.

What should I do if the auto shut-off is not working?

Ensure the machine is not set to a permanent on mode. Check settings. If the problem persists, contact Breville support. The auto shut-off normally activates after 2 hours of inactivity.

Can I program the coffee maker to start brewing immediately?

Yes, simply press the BREW NOW button. The coffee maker will start immediately. You can also use the timer for delayed start.

Before first use

Note that the first time you use your sandwich toaster, you may notice a slight burning smell and a little smoke. This is completely normal and will soon disappear.

• Unpack your sandwich toaster. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
• Wipe the cooking plates with absorbent paper or a soft damp cloth.
• Clean the outside of your sandwich toaster with a soft damp cloth which has been wrung almost dry in warm soapy water. The cover can be polished with a soft dry cloth.

Using your sandwich toaster

1. Plug your toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required. The red 'power on' light will light up and your sandwich toaster will start heating up. Pre-heating will take about 6 minutes.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the green ready-to-cook light will light up. This light will go on and off as your sandwich toaster maintains the right temperature.
3. Lightly brush the cooking plates with sunflower oil or spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking. Don't use a low fat spread or one which has a high water content.
4. Place the lower slice of bread onto the bottom plate ‘buttered’ side down. Form a hollow with the back of a spoon and add 1-2 tbsp of the prepared filling. Don’t overfill the sandwich or the filling will leak out. Add the top slice of bread buttered side up and close the lid gently and latch it. Take care because your sandwich toaster will be hot!
5. Allow the sandwich to toast for approximately 4-5 minutes. Leave the sandwich in the toaster for more or less time according to taste.
6. Open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam—use a tea towel or wear oven gloves. Remove the cooked sandwich with a non-metallic spatula. Don't use a metal blade as this will damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
7. Once cooked, take care when eating, as fillings, especially fruit or tomato, can be very hot.
