Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories from the box before discarding the packaging. Remove the water tank located at the back of the machine by pulling the water tank handle. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.

NOTE

Machines with colour, drip tray protection guard is included. DO NOT DISCARD.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

• Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.
• Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Rinse the filter holder with cold water.

• Set the reminder for next month of replacement. We recommend to replace the filter after 3 months.

• Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.
• To install the assembled filter holder into the water tank, align the base of the filter holder with the adapter inside the water tank. Push down to lock into place.

NOTE

Replacing the water filter every three months will reduce the need to descale the machine. Filters can be purchased at www.breville.com

NOTE

If your water hardness is either 4 or 5 when tested, we strongly recommend you to change to an alternate water source. Filtered water will extend both the life of your built-in filter and descale intervals as well as superior taste. Please ensure to test the water hardness of the alternative water source you’ve chosen and input into the machine accordingly. Avoid using overly filtered water, like RO water unless some mineral content is being added back to the final water. Never use distilled water, or water with no or low mineral content as this will affect the taste of coffee.

Functions

Filling the Water Tank

• Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the water tank.
• Use the handle at the top of the water tank to assist in lifting the water tank and away from the machine.

• Fill the water tank with cold potable tap water up to the MAX marking indicated on the side of the water tank.
• Replace the water tank back on the machine, pressing down to ensure that it is properly positioned and attached to the machine.

NOTE

If the water level in the water tank is below the minimum (MIN) marking, the espresso machine will not operate.

Attaching the Hopper

• Insert the bean hopper into position on top of the machine.
• Turn the dial to lock the hopper into place.
• Fill the hopper with fresh beans.

TIP

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.

Attaching the Drip Tray

• Place the drip tray grill on top of the drip tray.
• Machines with colour, attach the drip tray protection guard cover on the drip tray.
• Slide the drip tray into the machine.

NOTE

Using the drip tray protection guard cover is optional.

GENERAL OPERATION

• Check the water tank is filled with cold tap water up to the maximum mark.
• Plug the power cord into the power outlet.
• Press the ‘Power’ button.
• Follow the instructions on screen to guide you through first use setup.

DRINK SELECTION

Swipe and select your choice of drink.

NOTE: Please keep the touch screen dry and clean to ensure that the machine functions properly

DRINK SCREEN

In this screen, you can customise your drink by touching the choice of drink on screen.

• A. Home icon
• B. Chosen drink
• C. Hot water
• D. Grind / Dose = tap the icon below the portafilter to adjust grinder settings.
• E. Brew = tap the icon below the coffee glass to adjust brewing settings.
• F. Milk texture = tap the icon below the milk jug to adjust milk settings.

SETTING THE GRIND SIZE ANDDOSING

• Adjust the grind size by using the dial on the side of the machine.

• Follow the screen prompts to select the preferred ‘Basket Size’.
• Tap on the portafilter image to start the grinding and allow fresh ground coffee to fill the portafilter.

• Grinding will automatically stop.

ASSISTED TAMPING

• When grind cycle is completed, the machine is ready to tamp.

• Push the lever downwards to the end position. This will tamp the coffee grinds in the portafilter using a consistent amount of tamp force. Pushing the lever slowly and consistently will help to improve the puck appearance.
• Release the lever slowly upwards to the home position after tamping.
• Repeat the tamping action as above twice.

NOTE: Screen will indicate if tamp or dose is low, ideal or high.

HOW TO CORRECT AN UNDER OR OVER DOSE?

An under or over dose can occur when fresh beans are added to the hopper; when coffee beans age; a different type of coffee bean is used or if a change is made to the grind size.

What to do when dose level is below the ideal middle bar?

• When dose is below the ideal middle bar, the machine will indicate and calculate ‘A Bit More’. Tap the portafilter image on screen to add a bit more and follow screen prompts and complete a tamp for an updated dose level reading.
• When ideal dose level is reached, the machine will automatically update the auto dose time for the next cycle.

What to do when dose level is above the ideal middle bar?

• When dose is above the ideal middle bar, remove the portafilter from the cradle.
• Use the Razor Trimming Tool. (refer to Trimming the Dose section).
• The machine will calculate how much to reduce the auto grind time and apply this for the next cycle.

OVER DOSE (TRIMMING THE DOSE)

The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction. Insert the Razor™ into the coffee basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the filter basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee. Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off excess coffee.

Inserting the Portafilter

Place the portafilter underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the INSERT position. Insert the portafilter into the group head and rotate the handle towards the centre until resistance is felt.

ESPRESSO EXTRACTION

• Select a display of brew options on the screen.
• Select the café size options from: Single (approx.30ml), Double (approx.60ml) or Double+ (approx.90ml).
• Select Custom and slide and drag the dot to increase or decrease the coffee volume.
• Tap the coffee cup image on the screen to start extraction.
• The duration times are preset but can be customised.

MANUAL OVERRIDE

Press and hold the coffee image (approx 2 seconds) to enter manual extraction mode. Touch the coffee image to start the extraction, touch the coffee image again to stop the extraction.

NOTE

• The amount of espresso extracted in the cup will vary depending on your grind size and grind amount settings.
• Touching the coffee image during a preset shot volume will immediately stop the extraction.
• For optimal flavour when using a 1-CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 30ml. When using a 2-CUP filter basket, you should extract approx 60ml.

TEXTURING MILK

Different brands and milk alternatives will texture differently. For best texturing results, it is recommended to use full cream milk when using dairy milk and use barista-type milks when using plant-based milks. You may need to adjust the froth level accordingly. Start with cold milk. Fill the milk jug to below the spout position. Lift the steam wand and insert it into the milk jug. Lower the steam wand, ensuring it is fully down. The milk jug should rest on the milk temperature sensor located on the drip tray, and the tip of the steam wand should be submerged to ensure that milk covers the ring around the steam wand tip.

NOTE: Check the image on the screen for the correct milk jug position.

Under the milk jug image, tap the icon to adjust the milk temperature, the level of milk froth or change your milk option: Dairy, Almond, Oat
or Soy. To start, touch the ‘Milk jug’ image. The screen will display the temperature of the milk as it heats.

Milk texturing will stop automatically when the selected milk temperature is reached. Lift steam wand to remove milk jug. Wipe the wand and tip with a clean damp cloth. Lower steam wand to the down position and the wand will automatically purge.

MANUAL MILK TEXTURING

Auto milk texturing and auto shut-off are disabled during manual milk texturing mode. Start with a cold milk. Fill milk jug to below the spout position. Lift the steam wand and slide the milk jug under the steam wand. Hold the milk jug at an angle. Start frothing by tapping the milk jug image on screen. When frothing is done and the jug is hot to comfortably touch; tap the milk jug image on screen to stop. Wipe the wand & tip with a clean damp cloth. Lower steam wand to the down position and the wand will automatically purge.

CAUTION: BURN HAZARD
Pressurised steam can still be released, even after machine has been switched off. Children must always be supervised.

NOTE

• When the machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the pump.
• Use exclusively the stainless steel milk jug included in the pack to froth milk. The use of a container made of glass or plastic material to froth milk may lead to overheated milk or dangerous conditions.
