BEFORE USING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE

- PRIMING

To ensure that the boiler heating system and all internal piping has been preheated, it is essential to prime the machine before first use.

• Fill water tank with water to ‘MAX’ marking line.

• Switch machine on and direct the steam wand into

the drip tray.

• Turn the steam dial on the side of the machine

towards the ‘MAX’ position

• Press button and hold down until there is a

solid stream of water exiting from the wand. At this stage, release button and turn the Steam Dial to the ‘OFF’ position.

• After approx 1.5-2 minutes all 3 buttons will

illuminate. Your Ikon Espresso Machine is now primed and ready for use.

After steaming or when the water tank runs dry, the Ikon Espresso Machine may not pump water through the shower filter. If this happens turn the machine

off. Turn the steam dial on the side of the machine towards the 'MAX' position, with the steam wand directed back into drip tray until steam stops. Turn the Machine On and repeat priming procedure as outlined above.

Step 1 - Filling the water tank

• Remove the Filter Holder if locked into the

Brew Head and move the Steam Wand to the side of the machine.

• Remove the water tank by pulling out of the front

of the machine (Fig 4).

• When the water tank is removed, a rigid tube

rotates and extends out of from the water tank area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it will automatically slide back into place once the water tank is reinserted.

• Fill with cold water to the maximum mark and

replace back into the machine, pressing firmly so that the water tank clicks into position.

The water tank should be filled with fresh cold water before use. Check water level before use and replace the water daily or when water level indicated is below 750 ml. Do not operate if the water level is below 500ml. Do not use mineral water.

Note

Step 2 - Preparing the coffee

• Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder

and fill with ground espresso coffee (Fig 5). Use the single filter for 1 cup and the double filter for 2 cups.

• Use the measuring/tamping spoon provided to

measure 1 level measure of espresso coffee for the single filter and 2 level measures for the double filter. It is important to use the correct amount of ground coffee for each filter.

Step 3 – Tamping the coffee

• Distribute the coffee evenly and press down firmly

with the tamping end of the measuring spoon (Fig 6). If there is too much coffee, the flow of water can become blocked.

• Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the

filter holder to ensure a proper seal under the brew head.

Step 4 – Priming the Brew Head

• Before placing the Filter Head into position, it is

recommended to run a short flow of water through the Brew Head.

• Plug the power cord into a 120V power outlet and

switch on. Press the button and the button surround will illuminate. The

button will flash on and off while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all 3 buttons will illuminate.

• Prime the Brew Head by pressing the button

and hold down until water flows from the shower filter. Release the button once the water has run through the Brew Head. A pumping noise will be heard during this operation.

Pre-warming the cups

The cup warming plate will start to warm as the machine heats. Pre-warm the espresso cups by placing them on the cup warming plate. This will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups.

That’s the idea™

Step 5 – Inserting the Filter Holder

• Place the Filter Holder underneath the Brew Head

so that the handle is positioned to the left of centre. Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head and rotate to the right until resistance is felt (Fig 7 & 8). Ensure handle is rotated as far as possible to the right to ensure a proper seal. Not rotating the handle sufficiently can result in the filter holder becoming detached during brewing.

Step 6 - Brewing the coffee

• The 3 function buttons will illuminate once the

machine has reached the correct temperature.

• Ensure the drip tray is in place.

• Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the filter

holder outlet.

• Press the button momentarily.

• After a few seconds*, aromatic coffee will begin to

brew into the cups. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation.

*Pre-brew function

When the button is pressed momentarily, the boiler heating system pumps water briefly, followed by a pause, then continues to pump the water through to the ground coffee in the Filter Holder. This pre-brew function is an advanced feature of the Ikon Espresso Machine. The ground coffee is moistened by a small amount of water before full extraction. The ground coffee expands and when greater pressure is built up, the brewed coffee is extracted with its full flavour. To skip this function when brewing coffee, hold down the button, rather than pressing momentarily.

• When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups,

press the button again. This will stop the flow of coffee. Twenty seconds is generally sufficient to pour two 30 ml espresso shots. It is not recommended to operate the brew function for a longer period at one time.

• If the steam function is not required, press the

power button to switch off, switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.

Step 7 – Emptying the Filter Holder

• Remove the Filter Holder from the Brew Head by

turning the Filter Holder to the left until it releases. Turn the Filter Holder upside down to empty the used coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Remove the filter by pressing the ‘Eject’ Button on the underside of the Filter Holder (Fig 9). Rinse both the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.

The machine remains ready for brewing and maintains a constant heating temperature whilst the Power button is illuminated.

Note

How to froth milk for a cappuccino or latté

The Breville Ikon Espresso Machine comes complete with a Froth Enhancer for easier frothing of milk. When less froth is required, remove the Froth Enhancer and steam the milk using the Steam Wand. To remove the Froth Enhancer, ensure it is cool then simply pull down and remove (Fig 10). The Frothing Attachment can be stored in the Storage Tray inside the machine if not used regularly.

To refit the Froth Enhancer, ensure it is securely attached to the Steam Wand by inserting it, from either end opening, onto the Wand and pushing it firmly upwards onto the rubber surround (Fig 10).

The first step in making a cappuccino/latté is to make a short espresso (Follow steps on “Brewing Coffee” on page 9). Then:

• Fill the stainless steel frothing jug

⁄3full with

cold milk.

• Press the button momentarily and direct steam

wand into drip tray. Turn the steam control dial on the side of the machine towards the ‘MAX’ position. This will drain any residual water before the boiler begins to generate steam. The light will start to flash indicating that the Boiler Heating System is heating and preparing to create steam.

Although not essential, for maximum steaming pressure it is recommended to wait approximately 30 seconds for light to stop flashing before turning the steam control dial towards the ‘MAX’ position.

Note

• Turn Steam Control Dial to the ‘OFF’ position,

insert the steam wand into the milk jug and then turn the Steam Control Dial towards the ‘MAX’ position (Fig 11).

• Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion

around the froth enhancer.

The Ikon Espresso Machine features a Swivel Steam Wand so the position of the Steam Wand can be changed to a comfortable angle.

That’s the idea™

• When the milk has begun to increase in volume,

immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to further heat the milk.

• Place your hand on the bottom of the stainless

steel frothing jug.

• When using the Steaming function, is the thumping

noise normal? Yes, the thumping noise is the 15 bar pump in operation.

THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT. ALWAYS COOL THE FILTER HOLDER WITH COLD WATER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE FILTERS.

BR7804 BES400XL Book USA.qxp 20/6/06 1:14 PM Page 10

• When the jug becomes too hot to touch, turn the

steam control dial to the ‘OFF’ position and then press the button to stop the steaming function before removing the jug.

Steam Control Dial should always be positioned in the ‘OFF’ position when steam is not required. Steam will automatically turn off after 3 minutes of steaming.

Note

• Pour the steamed milk to each cup of freshly

brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk in the following ratios:

Cappuccino -

⁄3espresso, 1⁄3steamed milk,

⁄3frothed milk

Latté -

⁄3espresso topped with steamed

milk and about 10cm of frothed milk (traditionally served in a glass)

• After each steaming operation direct the Steam

Wand back into the Drip Tray. Turn the Steam Control Dial towards the ‘MAX’ position and press the button and hold down until a solid stream of water exits from the Steam Wand.

Always ensure that the Froth Enhancer has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand. For best results use fresh cold milk (lite milk will froth easier). Always clean the steam wand and froth enhancer immediately after every use (refer to care and cleaning).

Note

Standby Mode

As an energy saving feature, the Ikon Espresso Machine will go into ‘standby mode’ after a period of 60 minutes of total inactivity. The insert power symbol button will be the only button lit during this time. To reactivate simply press any of the 3 function buttons.

Making a good cup of coffee is an art that is simple to achieve. Here are some tips to help you make the perfect coffee.

To enjoy an optimum flavoured espresso coffee, do not extract more than approximately 30ml (using the 1 cup filter holder) or for a double espresso do not extract more than 60ml (using a 2 cup filter holder).

Note

The coffee

Pre-ground coffee can be used and should be stored in an air-tight container, in a cool, dry area. Pre-ground coffee should not be kept for longer than 1 week as flavour will diminish. Do not refrigerate or freeze.

Whole coffee beans, freshly ground just before use, are recommended. Coffee beans should be stored in an air-tight container, in a cool, dry area but should not be kept for longer than 1 month as flavour will diminish. Do not refrigerate or freeze.

Water flow

When brewing coffee, make sure the water flows through the Coffee Filter at the correct rate.

If the water flow is too slow the coffee will be over extracted and will be very dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.

If the water flow is too fast, the coffee will be under extracted – the optimal flavour will not develop, the coffee will be watery and lack the thick crema on the top.

The water flow can be adjusted by varying the pressure that the coffee is tamped (pressed down) in the Filter or by changing the grind of the coffee.

The grind

If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an espresso grind suitable for espresso/cappuccino machines is purchased.

If grinding coffee beans, the grind should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the coffee in the Filter and therefore the taste of the coffee.

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 coffee will be over extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.

If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour and without the thick crema on the top layer of coffee.

Tamping the coffee

After measuring the ground coffee into the Filter it must be tamped (pressed down) using the flat end of the measuring spoon. The ground coffee should be tamped quite firmly.

If the coffee is not tamped firmly enough, the water will flow through the water too quickly and the coffee will be under extracted. If the coffee is tamped too firmly, however, the water will flow through the coffee too slowly and the coffee will be over extracted.

The taste of your coffee will, of course, depend on personal preference and on many other factors such as the type of coffee bean used, the coarseness or fineness of the grind and the tamping pressure (pressed down). We recommend experimenting by varying these factors to achieve the coffee taste of your preference.

BR7804 BES400XL Book USA.qxp 20/6/06 1:14 PM Page 12

Care and cleaning

Before cleaning, ensure the machine has been turned off. Switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.

Cleaning the steam wand and froth enhancer

• The Steam Wand and Froth Enhancer should always

be cleaned immediately after frothing milk. Never leave Steam Wand immersed in milk. This ensures the Steam Wand is kept free of milk deposits. Failure to do this may result in milk being sucked back into the boiler heating system.

• Remove the Froth Enhancer and rinse under warm

tap water (Fig 10) page 11.

• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. If the

steam wand becomes blocked, use the pin on the Cleaning Tool to clear the opening. If the Steam Wand is not wiped with a damp cloth immediately after use milk deposits will bake onto the surface and become harder to remove. If this occurs it is recommended to soak the Steam Wand before wiping with a damp cloth.

DO NOT USE a scourer or abrasive cleaner to clean Steam Wand or housing.

Note

If the Steam Wand remains blocked, the tip of the Steam Wand can be removed by using the spanner in the middle of the Cleaning Tool (Fig 12). Soak the tip in hot water before using the pin on the Cleaning Tool to unblock (Fig 13).

Replace the tip back onto the Steam Wand and secure with the Cleaning Tool.

Cleaning the filters, filter holder and brewing head

• The stainless filters and filter holder should be

rinsed under running water directly after use to remove all coffee particles. Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked, the fine pin on the Cleaning Tool can be used to clear the holes (Fig 14).

• The brewing head should be wiped with a damp

cloth to remove any residual coffee grounds.

• It is advisable to periodically run water through the

machine with the filter holder in place, but without any coffee to clean out any residual coffee grounds.

DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR IKON ESPRESSO MACHINE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.

Cleaning the shower head

• To eliminate coffee grinds from the shower

head, simply unscrew using the allen key provided and rinse under hot water. Replace using the allen key (Fig 15) ensuring the fixing screw is firm but not over tightened.

Cleaning the housing/cup warming tray

• The outer housing and cup warming tray can

be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surfaces).

Cleaning the drip tray

• The Drip Tray should be removed, emptied and

cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the water level indicator is exposed indicating the drip tray is full (Fig 16).

• Remove the grid and water level indicator from

the drip tray and wash all three parts in warm water using a non-abrasive washing liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the storage tray

• The Storage Tray can be removed after the Drip Tray

is removed and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface).

Decalcifying

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.

We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using either a commercial decalcifying agent formulated specially for boiler espresso machines, or a mixture of white vinegar and water.

Do not use powered decalcifying agents.

Note

Use the following as a guide: Diluted solution (for softer water)

• 1 part white vinegar

• 2 parts cold tap water

Concentrated solution (for harder water)

• 1 part white vinegar

• 1 part cold tap water

Decalcifying the machine

• Ensure the machine is switched off and that the

plug is disconnected from the power outlet.

• Remove the Filter Holder and Froth Enhancer. Pour

the decalcifying solution into the water tank.

• Plug the machine into the power outlet and

turn on.

• Press power button to turn the machine on.

• Place a large container under both the Brew Head

and the Steam Wand.

• As soon as the brewing temperature is reached the

3 function buttons will illuminate. Press the button on and allow half the decalcifying solution run through the Brew Head.

• Turn the Steam Control Dial to the ‘MAX’ position

and press the button and allow the remaining solution to run through the Steam Wand. When the solution has stopped flowing, press the button, turn the Steam Control Dial to ‘OFF’.

• After decalcifying, remove the Water Tank and rinse

thoroughly then refill to maximum line with fresh cold water. To rinse the machine, run half the water through the Brew Head and half through the Steam Wand.

• Fill with fresh, cold water.

• The machine is ready for use.
