BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Remove and discard all labelling and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all

parts and accessories before discarding the packaging.

Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets and jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid and rinse well. Wipe the outer housing, bean hopper and drip tray with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the outer housing, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid.

The water filter located inside the water tank will need to be removed before washing the water tank.

CONDITIONING THE WATER FILTER

•Remove filter from the plastic bag and soak in a cup of water for 5 minutes.

•Rinse filter under cold running water.

•Wash the stainless steel mesh in the plastic filter compartment with cold water.

•Insert the filter into the filter holder.

•Set the dial date 2 months ahead.

•To install filter, push down to lock into place.

•Slide the water tank into position and lock into place.

NOTE

To purchase water filters contact Breville Customer Service Centre on 1300 139 798 (Australia) or 0800 273 845 (New Zealand).

FIRST USE

Initial Start Up

•Fill tank with water

•Press POWER button

•A pumping sound will be heard. The machine will reach operating temperature and go into STANDBY mode.

FLUSHING THE MACHINE

It is recommended to complete a water flushing operation, without ground coffee, to ensure the machine has been conditioned. When the machine has reached STANDBY mode, run the following 2 steps.

•Press the 2 CUP button to run hot water through the group head for 30 seconds.

•Activate steam for 10 seconds.

•Repeat this cycle until the water tank is empty.

NOTE

Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

•Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the tank.

•Fill the water tank with cold tap water to the maximum mark on the side of the tank and slide the water tank back into position at the back of the machine.

•Plug the power cord into power outlet and switch On at power point.

•Press the POWER button. The POWER button surround will flash while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate.

There are 18 settings on the GRIND SIZE select dial - The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size. We recommend you start at the No. 5 setting and adjust as required.

•Place the portafilter into the grinding cradle.

•Insert filter basket required into the porta-filter.

Press the FILTER SIZE button to select your filter size (single or double).

Check the water level before use and replace the water daily. The water tank should be filled with fresh, cold tap water before each use.

Do not use de-mineralised or distilled water or any other liquid.

SETTING THE GRIND SIZE

The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket and

the flavour of the espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be fine but not too fine and powdery.
