BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

• Carefully read all instructions

before operating and save for future reference.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use

handles or knobs as advised in this instruction book.

• To protect against ﬁre, electric

shock and injury to persons do not immerse the power cord, plug, or appliance itself in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary

when any appliance is used by or near children.

• If the appliance is to be:

- left unattended

- cleaned

- moved

- assembled; or

- stored 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.

• 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 BES980XL

• It is recommended to plug the

espresso machine into a properly grounded and dedicated circuit, separate from other electrical appliances.

• Avoid contact with moving parts.

• Check bean hopper for presence

of foreign objects before using.

• 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.

• Use caution after milk texturing

as the auto purge function will purge hot steam when the steam wand is lowered.

• 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 38.

• 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.

4 5

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

BREVILLE ASSIST™ PLUG

Your Breville appliance comes with a unique Assist™ Plug, conveniently designed with a ﬁnger hole to ease removal from the power outlet.

CSA DUTY CYCLE MARKING:

The Canadian Standards Authority requires any appliances capable of drawing over 1500W to be marked with a ‘duty cycle’ in minutes. For the BES980XL, this ‘duty cycle’ represents the maximum time for which the appliance will draw over 1500W during any 2 hour period of use. It does not indicate the appliance is unsafe for continuous use or is required to be switched off at certain intervals during normal use.

Change Filter

Indicates when the water ﬁlter in the water tank needs to be replaced. For information on changing the ﬁlter, refer to 'Installing The Water Filter', page 34.

The regularity of this alert is determined by the water hardness setting (Hrd1-Hrd5) selected. For information, refer to 'Setting Water Hardness', page 14 and 'Water Hardness (Hrd3)', page 24.

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.

CAUTION

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.

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.

REMOVE

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.

CAUTION

HOT WATER & STEAM

e) Close both valves by rotating screws

clock-wise until seated. Do not overtighten screws to avoid damaging the valves. Replace the grey silicone cover over the valves.

f) Empty drip tray and reinsert into

position. Use caution as the drip tray may be hot due to the water and steam from the boilers.

c) Next, repeat the above process on the

left screw. As the valve is opened, water may begin ﬂowing into the drip tray.

d) Allow valves to remain open until no

more water or steam escapes.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS & PREPARATION

COFFEE MAKING 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 ﬁlter basket and portaﬁlter dry before dosing with ground coffee as moisture can encourage ‘channeling’ where water by-passes the ground coffee during extraction.

THE GRIND

When grinding coffee beans for espresso, 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 OVER-EXTRACTED, 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, lacking in color and ﬂavor.

AUTOMATIC GRINDING, DOSING & TAMPING

• Ensure hopper is ﬁlled with fresh coffee

beans. We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag, not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee beans are best consumed between 5–20 days after the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly from the portaﬁlter spouts and taste bitter and watery. Never put pre-ground coffee in the hopper.

• Align portaﬁlter handle with the

INSERT position on the grind outlet. Lift to insert portaﬁlter into the grind outlet and rotate to the center position.
