the cap.
•
In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and
adhere to the following precautions:
•
To avoid possible burns from hot steam
and water, never remove the water tank
cap or filter holder while there is steam
pressure in the water tank. Remove all
steam pressure first.
•
Only use cold water in the water tank. Do
not use any other liquid.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
•
•
Never use the appliance without water in it.
Ensure the water tank cap and filter
holder are firmly secured when using
the appliance.
•
Refer to Page 11 for instructions on how
to release the steam pressure.
•
Do not immerse cord, plug or

water or any other liquid.
•
Always use the appliance on a dry, level
surface.
•
•
Always ensure the water tank cap is clean
around the seal and the centre valve area
(never use if the seal is damaged or faulty).
As part of regular maintenance, it is
recommended that this appliance be
taken to the nearest authorised Breville
Service Centre for checking of the
‘Pressure Indicator Button’ once every
two years.
•
•
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug
and actual appliance for any damage. If
found damaged in anyway, immediately
cease use and return the entire appliance
to the nearest authorised Breville Service
Centre for examination, replacement or
repair.
•
•
Before use fully unwind the power cord.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of
a table or counter, touch hot surfaces, or
become knotted.
•
•
Do not place this appliance on or near a
hot gas or electric burner, or where it
could touch a heated oven.
Always turn the Selector Control to
‘STANDBY’, switch the power off at the
power outlet and then remove the plug
when the appliance is not being used and
before cleaning.
•
•
Any maintenance other than cleaning
should be performed at an authorised
Breville Service Centre.
The installation of a residual current
device (safety switch) is recommended to
provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. It is advisable
that a safety switch with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA be
installed in the electrical circuit supplying
the appliance. See your electrician for
professional advice.
•
•
The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without

•
•
Turn the Selector Control to ‘STEAM’
and allow the appliance to produce steam
for 4-5 seconds to clear the steam tube.
The filter holder does not have to be
locked into position.
•
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its
flavour for 1 week, provided it is stored in
an air tight container, in a cool, dark area.
Whole coffee beans are recommended
and should be ground just before use.
Coffee beans stored in an airtight
Intense and aromatic, an espresso, or short
black as it’s also known, uses about 7g of
ground coffee. It is served in a small cup or
glass to a level of approximately 35mm.
•
Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘STANDBY’ position and the steam
pressure has been released.
•
•
Turn the Selector Control to ‘STANDBY’,
switch off at the power outlet, remove the
plug and allow the appliance to cool.

they begin to lose their flavour.
•
•
A cappuccino is very light and almost luke
warm. This has one-third espresso, one-
third milk and one-third foam. It is
traditionally drunk before noon.
•
Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer.
After the steam pressure has been
released, remove the water tank cap and
discard the remaining water (always
empty the water tank between uses).
The steam nozzle must be screwed back
onto the steam tube in a clockwise
direction and tightened using reasonable
force with the end of the cleaning tool
provided.
THE GRIND
•
The coffee must be ground fine, but not
too fine (the correct grind should look
gritty, like sand or salt).
CAFFE LATTÉ
•
•
Served in a glass with a serviette, a caffe
latté consists of one-third espresso, topped
with steamed milk and about 10mm of foam.
•
If the grind is too fine, the water will not
flow though the coffee even under
pressure (this grind looks like powder
and feels like flour when rubbed
between fingers).
The filter holder, stainless steel filters
and drip tray can be washed with soapy
water. The drip tray consists of 2 parts
and can be removed for easier cleaning.
(Fig D).
MACCHIATO
fig A
Traditionally served short, the macchiato is
also poured as a long black with a dash of
milk or a dollop of foam.
•
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows
through the coffee too fast, preventing a
full flavoured extraction.
•
Remove the steam nozzle from the steam
tube by unscrewing in a counter-
clockwise direction using the cleaning
fig 8
tool provided (Fig B). Clean the steam
nozzle by removing it and letting water
run through it for about 10 seconds in the
direction opposite to the normal steam
flow. If the nozzle is still blocked clean it
with the other end of the cleaning tool
provided (Fig C).
LONG BLACK
A long black is generally served with a
double shot of espresso.
RISTRETTO
Meaning restricted, a ristretto is an
extremely short espresso of approximately
15mm, distinguished by its intense flavour
and aftertaste.

sure the cap is on tight).
DECALCIFYING
TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART
Hard water can cause limestone build up in
and on the inner functioning components,
reducing the brewing flow, power of the
appliance, and affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the appliance on a
regular basis (once a month) using a liquid
decalcifying agent. Follow the instructions
provided or use the following as a guide:
Problem
Causes
Plug the appliance into the power outlet
and turn the power switch on.
Coffee does not come out
through the filter holder
• Appliance was not switched on or plugged in
• No water in tank.
Turn the Selector Control to the ‘BREW’
• Selector control not in ‘BREW’ position.
• Coffee grind is too fine.
position
and allow the decalcifying
solution to run through the filter holder.
When the solution has run through the
appliance (make sure that all the solution
has run out and there is no steam
pressure in the appliance), turn the
Selector Control to the ‘STANDBY’
position, switch off at the power outlet
and remove the plug and allow the
appliance to cool.
• Too much coffee in the filter.
•
• Water tank cap is not secure, steam is escaping.
Coffee comes out too quickly
Coffee is too weak or watery
• Coffee grind is too coarse.
• Not enough coffee in filter.
Diluted solution (for softer water)
•
•
1 part decalcifying agent
2 parts cold tap water
• Coffee grind is not fine enough
- use Espresso ground coffee.
Coffee comes out around the
Filter holder
• Filter holder is not inserted in the brew head.
• There are coffee grounds around the filter holder rim.
• There is too much coffee in the filter.
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
•
•
1 part decalcifying agent
1 part cold tap water
•
•
After decalcifying, rinse the water tank
thoroughly and refill with cold tap water.
Repeat the above procedures several
times by running clear the water through
the filter holder and through the steam
nozzle (half each). This should remove
any possible residual after taste left by
decalcifying agent.
• Coffee has been packed too tightly.
Decalcifying the appliance
No steam is generated
• Appliance is not turned on.
• The water tank is empty.
•
Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘STANDBY’ position, the appliance is
switched off at the power outlet and that
the plug is disconnected.
• There is too much water in the water tank,
(no room for steam).
• Selector control not in ‘STEAM’ position.
•
•
Ensure the appliance is cool and all
steam pressure in the appliance has been
released.
Coffee is splattering out of the
filter holder
• The water tank is empty or low
(not enough pressure).
•
Replace the stainless steel filter and the
appliance is ready to use.
Milk not foamy after frothing
• Not enough steam.
Remove the stainless steel filter from the
filter holder and place the filter holder
back in position.
• Ensure milk selected is suitable for frothing
The stainless steel filters
should not come in contact
with any decalcifying agents.
Do not use powdered
