FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE

Programmable Function

This espresso machine offers a convenient
choice between the Manual Operation or the
intelligent Programmable Function that can be
personalised with the user’s favourite espresso

setting.

Espresso Pressure Gauge

The espresso pressure gauge assists in
obtaining the most favourable extraction
pressure, guiding the user to create their ideal
espresso. This is achieved by measuring the
pressure at which the water is being forced
through the ground coffee in the fi lter holder.

White Zone - Ideal Espresso

The gauge needle when positioned within the
recommended White Zone during pouring
indicates that the espresso will be produced at
the ideal pressure. The brewed espresso should
have a generous layer of fi ne textured and
evenly coloured golden crèma.

Green Zone - Under Extracted

The gauge needle when positioned within the
Green Zone during pouring indicates that the
espresso will be produced with insuffi cient
pressure resulting in an ‘under extracted’
espresso. This occurs when the water fl ow
through the ground coffee in the fi lter is too
fast. As a result the optimal fl avour will not be
extracted and the coffee will be watery and lack
thick créma on the top. Possible other causes
for under extraction are: coffee grind is too
coarse and/or insuffi cient coffee in fi lter and/or
under tamping.

Red Zone - Over Extracted

The gauge needle when positioned within
the Red Zone during pouring will indicate
that the espresso will be produced with too
much pressure resulting in an ‘over extracted’
espresso. This occurs when the water fl ow
through the ground coffee in the fi lter is too
slow. As a result the coffee will be very dark
and bitter, with a mottled and uneven créma on
top. Possible other causes for over extraction
are: ground coffee is too fi ne and/or too much
ground coffee in fi lter and/or over tamping.

Hot Water Wand

The dedicated hot water wand is ideal for
making your favourite hot drinks. For convenient
use the wand has a commercial style 360° ball

joint.

FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE PROFESSIONAL 800 COLLECTION™ PROGRAMMABLE ESPRESSO MACHINE (continued)

Commercial Style Steam Wand

The swivel-action steam wand, with
stainless steel frothing attachment, easily
adjusts to the perfect position for texturing
milk. The wand has a commercial style
360° ball joint.

Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters

Advanced Dual Wall Créma System Filters
(one and two cup) are supplied with the
Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine.

The Advanced Dual Wall Créma System
Filters are designed to intentionally
slow the water fl ow rate during brewing,
allowing you to easily pour your espresso
at the ideal pressure, for the perfect
créma.

The fi lters are suited to both pre-ground
vacuum packed coffee and freshly ground
coffee.

Electronic Temperature Control

The electronic temperature control system
accurately maintains the optimal brewing
temperature of the water. This helps
ensure the user gets the best possible
extraction each time an espresso is made.

Energy Saving Features

The Breville Professional 800 Collection™
Programmable Espresso Machine will
enter the ‘Power Save Mode’ if not used
for one hour, and will automatically switch
off if not used for a further three hours.

The ‘Power Save Mode’ uses 45% less
power than when the machine is in
‘Stand by’ Mode.

During ‘Power Save Mode’ only the
POWER button surround will be
illuminated. All other button and light
surrounds will not be illuminated.

To re-activate the machine during ‘Power
Save Mode’, simply press the program or
one-cup or two-cup buttons. The POWER
button surround will then illuminate and
fl ash while the machine quickly reheats to
operational temperature. When the correct
temperature has been reached, all the
button surrounds on the control panel
will illuminate.

To switch off the espresso machine whilst
it is in ‘Power Save Mode’, simply press
the POWER button once.

the drip tray, water tank and storage tray in
place when you unpack it from the box.

The drip tray is located in the base of the
machine towards the front of the machine.

The water tank is located in the centre of
the machine towards the back wall.

The storage tray is located at the base
of the machine behind the drip tray and
under the water tank. The drip tray, water
tank and storage tray slide in and out for
easy access.

Ensure you have removed all parts
and accessories before discarding the
packaging.

Remove the drip tray, water tank and
storage tray. Disassemble the drip tray
by removing the stainless steel grid and
‘Empty Me!’ full indicator. Wash all parts
and accessories in warm, soapy water
using a non-abrasive washing liquid. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.

Wipe the outer housing with a soft damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse
the outer housing, power cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.

NOTE: Do not clean any of the parts or

accessories in the dishwasher.
