CARE & CLEANING
CLEANING THE FILTERS &
PORTAFILTER
• The Filters and Portafilter should be
rinsed under hot water immediately after
use to remove all residual coffee oils.
• If any of the holes in the Filter become
blocked, use the pin on the covered
end of the provided Cleaning Tool to
unblock the hole(s).
• If the hole(s) remain blocked, dissolve a
cleaning tablet in hot water and soak the
Filter and Portafilter in the solution for
approx. 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
Cleaning tablets can be purchased by
contacting Breville Consumer Service.
NOTE
Your espresso machine comes with
Dual Wall Filters. While these Filters
regulate the pressure and help to
optimize the extraction regardless
of the grind, dose, tamp pressure or
coffee freshness, they may become
blocked over time. As you become
more experienced, consider trying
Single Wall Filters. These allow you to
experiment with grind, dose and tamp
to create a more balanced espresso.
They can be purchased by contacting
Breville Consumer Service.
CARE & CLEANING
CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN
• The Group Head interior and shower
screen should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any ground coffee
particles.
• Periodically purge the machine. Place
an empty Filter and Portfilter into the
Group Head. Perform an extraction to
rinse out any residual coffee.
CLEANING THE DRIP &
STORAGE TRAY
• The Drip Tray should be removed,
emptied and cleaned after each use
(after the auto purge feature, see page
18) or when the Drip Tray is showing
Empty Me!
• Remove the Grid from the Drip Tray.
Wash both in warm soapy water.
The Empty Me! indicator can also be
removed from the Drip Tray.
• The Storage Tray can be removed and
cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not
use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths
which can scratch the surface).
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING
& CUP WARMING TRAY
• The outer housing and cup warming tray
can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which
can scratch the surface.
NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or
cloths which can scratch the surface.
Do not clean any of the parts or
accessories in the dishwasher.
DECALCIFYING
After regular use, hard water can cause
mineral build up in and on many of the
inner functioning components, reducing the
brewing flow, brewing temperature, power
of the machine, and taste of the espresso.
We advise decalcifying the machine every
month and especially if not using the
machine for an extended period eg. before
going on vacation.
• Remove the Portafilter.
• Pour a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar
and cold tap water into the Water Tank.
• Place a large container beneath the
Group Head and Steam Wand.
• Ensure the heating light is not flashing.
• Turn the Selector Control to the right
'Espresso' position. A pumping noise will
be heard. After a few seconds, water will
flow. Once half the decalcifying mixture
has run through the Group Head, turn
the Selector Control back to the center
'Standby' position.
• Press the Steam button then turn the
Selector Control to the left 'Steam/
Hot Water' position. The heating light
will flash then illuminate completely.
Condensed water may purge from the
Steam Wand before steam starts to flow.
Allow steam to run through the Steam
Wand for approximately 2 minutes then
turn the Selector Control back to the
center 'Standby' position.
• If any of the mixture remains in the
Water Tank, allow it to run through the
Group Head.
• In harder water environments, we
recommend repeating this cycle.
• After decalcifying, remove the Water
Tank, rinse thoroughly then refill with
fresh cold water only. To rinse the
machine, repeat the steps above.
