ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT

Your Café Roma has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this appliance without close adult supervision. If you must use a longer cord or an extension cord when using the appliance, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by young children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same or more than the wattage of the appliance (wattage is marked on the underside of the appliance).

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

We at Breville 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:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance comes with the unique Assist™ Plug, conveniently designed with a finger hole in the power plug, for easy and safe removal from the outlet. For safety reasons it is recommended you plug your Breville appliance directly into the power outlet. DO NOT use in conjunction with a power strip or extension cord.

OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE

BEFORE USING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE

Wash the filter holder and the stainless filters in mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1. Ensure the Power switch and Selector Control are set to the ‘OFF’ position.

2. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.

3. Lift up the water tank lid and remove the water tank. Fill with cold water to the maximum mark and replace in the machine, pressing down firmly so that the water valve opens. Close the water tank lid.

PRE-HEATING THE MACHINE

For optimal crema, it is recommended to carry out a complete brewing operation with water but without any coffee grinds before making your first coffee to ensure that the machine has been preheated.

1. Make sure the Selector Control is in the ‘OFF’ position.

2. Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet. Set the power switch to the ‘ON’ position.

3. As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light turns off, set the Selector Control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position and run a small amount of water through the brewing head for a few seconds without the filter holder in place.

PRE-WARMING CUPS

For optimal coffee temperature, pre-warm the espresso cups by placing them on the cup warming plate.

The water tank should be filled with fresh cold water before use.

Check water level before use and replace the water daily.

Do not use mineral or distilled water.

PREPARING THE COFFEE

1. Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and fill with espresso coffee (use the smaller filter for 1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).

2. Use 1 level measure of espresso coffee for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup filter. It is important to use the correct amount of coffee as the filter perforations have been constructed for optimal pressure build up in the machine.

3. Distribute the coffee evenly and press it lightly with the bottom of the measuring spoon (if there is too much coffee, the flow of water can become blocked).

4. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit under the brew head.

5. Holding the handle of the filter holder, slide back the black release clip towards you.

6. Place the filter holder underneath the brew head so that the handle is positioned to the left of center. Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head and rotate to the right. This will lock it in place.

BREWING COFFEE

1. Make sure the Selector Control is in the ‘OFF’ position.

2. Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet. Set the power switch to the ‘ON’ position.

3. As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light turns off, the machine is heated up.

4. Make sure the drip tray is in place.

5. Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the filter holder.

6. Set the selector control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position.

7. After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will begin to run through.

8. When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups, set the selector control to the ‘OFF’ position. This will stop the flow of coffee.

9. If you do not need to use the steam function, set the power switch to the ‘OFF’ position, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.

10.Remove the filter holder from the brew head and using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in the filter holder, 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). Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.

PREPARING ESPRESSO PODS

Your Café Roma can be used with most leading brands of espresso pods. To prepare the pod for brewing, place the pod in the 1-cup filter and ensure that all of the pod’s surface area is fitted inside the filter. If the edges of the pod overflow the filter, you will need to trim them off until the pod is contained wholly within the filter. Lock the filter holder in place and brew the coffee as per the instructions on this page.

OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE cont’d

The machine remains ready for brewing and maintains a constant heating temperature as long as the Power switch is left in the ‘On’ position. If the temperature should drop, the orange control light will illuminate and the heater will automatically heat up to the correct brewing temperature.

The quality of the coffee and crema produced will be dependent on the type of pod used.

Only use the 1 cup filter when using the espresso pods.

OPERATING YOUR ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO MACHINE cont’d

Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand.

For best results use fresh cold milk (light milk will froth easier).

Always clean the steam wand and froth enhancer after every use (refer to care and cleaning).

If brewing more coffee straight after using the steam function, set the selector control to the ‘espresso’ position to run a small amount of water through the brewing head for a few seconds without the filter holder in place. This will prepare the system for optimal brewing temperature.

LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTH ENHANCER, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION. TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE STEAM NOZZLE ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘OFF’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.

HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE

The Breville Café Roma comes complete with a frothing attachment for easier frothing of milk. The first step in making a cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso (see "Brewing Coffee"). Then:

1. Fill the stainless steel frothing jug 1⁄3full with cold milk.

2. As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light turns off, plunge the steam wand into jug of milk so that the main head of the froth enhancer is immersed into the milk.

3. Set the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’ position.

4. Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion around the froth enhancer.

5. When the milk has begun to increase in volume, immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to further heat the milk.

6. The amount of froth desired may vary by individual. The stainless steel frothing jug will gradually become hot; be sure to hold the handle or use a towel to avoid a hot jug. Once the froth is to your liking switch the Selector Control to the ‘Off’ position to stop the steaming function before removing the jug. This will ensure that you don’t burn the milk.

7. Add 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, 1⁄3frothed milk

Latte

⁄3espresso topped with steamed milk and approximately 4" (10cm) of frothed milk (traditionally served in a glass)

THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL DOWN THESE PARTS BY RUNNING UNDER COLD WATER. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE FILTER RETAINER CLIP WHEN DISCARDING THE COFFEE GROUNDS.
