Always switch off the appliance by pressing the POWER button to off and unplug from the power outlet.
•Always allow the appliance to cool before cleaning, moving or storing.
•It is recommended to regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. Do not use the appliance if there is damage to the
power cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way.
Immediately stop use and call Breville Consumer Support.
•The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Breville may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
•Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter-top, or touch hot surfaces.
•Do not place the appliance near the edge of a table or counter-top. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water and other substances.
•Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner. Do not place it in, or allow it to come in contact with a heated oven.
PAgeBrevilleheadrecommendsr..... safety first
•This appliance is recommended for household use only. Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use. Do not use outdoors. Do not use in moving vehicles or boats.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR BES920XL
•It is recommended to plug the espresso machine into a properly grounded and dedicated circuit, separate from other electrical appliances.
•Use only cold water in the water tank. Do not use any other liquids. Do not use highly filtered, demineralized or distilled water as this may affect the taste of the coffee and how the espresso machine operates.
•Ensure the portafilter is firmly inserted and secured into the group head before starting an extraction. Never remove the portafilter during the extraction process.
•Caution must be used during descaling as hot steam may be released. Before descaling, turn off the machine, allow to cool for at least 1 hour and ensure the drip tray is empty and fully inserted. For instructions, refer to ‘Descale (dESc)’, page 35.
•Do not attempt to open or service the espresso machine.
•For any maintenance other than cleaning, call Breville Consumer Support or visit a Breville Authorized Servicer.
short cord instructions
Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short power cord to reduce personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping
or becoming entangled with a longer cord. Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If an extension cord is
used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
(2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally and (3) the extension cord must include a 3-prong grounding plug.

Transporting and storing
We recommend draining both boilers completely before transporting the machine or storing for an extended period of time.
This procedure is also intended as an anti-freeze measure in the event the machine is exposed to extreme cold temperatures.
Step 2 – Empty Boilers
a)Remove the grey silicone cover on the lower front panel marked DESCALE ACCESS. Place a cloth over the
drip tray to stop steam escaping.
CAUTION |
REMOVE |
Never open DESCALE ACCESS valves |
|
while machine is still hot. Always |
|
turn off the machine and allow to cool |
|
for at least 1 hour prior to starting |
|
descale process. |
|
CAUTION
During descale process, water may flow through group head and the drip tray will fill with water.
Step 1 – Preparation
a)Ensure the machine is off and has cooled for at least 1 hour.
b)Empty water tank, remove water filter then replace and lock water tank back into position.
c)Ensure drip tray is empty and fully inserted into position.
b)Use a flat-head screwdriver to rotate the right screw counter-clockwise until the valve is fully open. As the valve opens, steam may be released.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS
& PREPARATION
26
PAgeCOFFEEheaderMAKING..... TIPS & PREPARATION
PRE-HEATING
Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature. Pre-heat your cup by rinsing with hot water from the hot water outlet and place on the cup warming tray.
Heating the portafilter and filter basket
A cold portafilter and filter basket can reduce the extraction temperature enough to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. Always ensure the portafilter and filter basket are pre-heated with hot water from the hot water outlet before initial use.
NOTE
Always wipe the portafilter and filter basket dry before dosing with ground coffee as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’ where water by-passes the ground coffee during extraction.
SELECTING FILTER BASKET
Single Wall Filter Baskets
Use Single Wall filter baskets if grinding fresh whole coffee beans.
Single Wall filter baskets allow you to experiment with grind and dose to create a more balanced espresso.
1 CUP |
2 CUP |
Dual Wall Filter Baskets
Use Dual Wall filter baskets if using pre-ground coffee.
Dual Wall filter baskets regulate the pressure and help to optimize the extraction regardless of the grind, dose or freshness.
1 CUP |
2 CUP |
NOTE
Regardless of whether you use Single Wall or Dual Wall filter baskets, use the 1 CUP basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 CUP basket when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug.
THE GRIND
If grinding coffee beans, the grind size should be fine but not too fine. The grind size will affect the rate at which the water flows through the ground coffee in the filter basket and the taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow through the coffee even when under pressure. The resulting espresso will be OVEREXTRACTED, dark in color and bitter in flavor.
If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the ground coffee in the filter basket too quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER-EXTRACTED and lacking in color and flavor.
COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION
DOSE and TAMPING
•Wipe filter basket with a dry cloth.
•If using Single Wall filter baskets, grind just enough coffee to fill the filter basket. You may need to experiment with how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose.
•Tap the portafilter several times to distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
•Tamp down firmly (using approx. 30-40lbs or 15-20kg of pressure). The amount of pressure is not as important as consistent pressure every time.
•As a guide to dose, the top edge of the metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket after the coffee has been tamped.
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

Precision dose trimming tool
•Insert the Razor™ dose trimming tool into the filter basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the basket. The blade of the dose trimming tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
•Rotate the Razor™ dose trimming tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over a knock box to trim off excess coffee grinds.
Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.
•Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the group head.
TIP
If the extraction is too fast, make the grind finer & repeat above steps. If the extraction is too slow, make the grind coarser and repeat above steps.
PURGING THE GROUP HEAD
Before placing the portafilter into the group head, run a short flow of water through the group head by pressing and holding the
1 CUP button. Allow water to flow for
5 seconds, then release the 1 CUP button to stop the flow of water. This will purge any ground coffee residue from the group head and stabilize the temperature prior
to extraction.
