BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
At Breville we 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.
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
FOR ALL ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES
• Carefully read all instructions
before operating and save for
future reference.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs as advised in
this instruction book.
• To protect against fire, electric
shock and injury to persons do
not immerse the power cord,
plug, or appliance itself in water
or other liquids.
• Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by
or near children.
• If the appliance is to be:
- left unattended
- cleaned
- moved
- assembled; or
- stored
Always switch off the appliance
by pressing the POWER button
to off and unplug from the
power outlet.
• Always allow the appliance to
cool before cleaning, moving
or storing.
• It is recommended to regularly
inspect the appliance and power
cord. Do not use the appliance
if there is damage to the
power cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has
been damaged in any way.
Immediately stop use and call
Breville Consumer Support.
• The use of accessory
attachments not recommended
by Breville may result in fire,
electric shock or injury to
persons.
• Do not let the power cord
hang over the edge of a table
or counter-top, or touch hot
surfaces.
• Do not place the appliance
near the edge of a table or
counter-top. Ensure the surface
is level, clean and free of water
and other substances.
• Do not place the appliance on
or near a hot gas or electric
burner. Do not place it in, or
allow it to come in contact with
a heated oven.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
• Caution must be used during
descaling as hot steam may be
released. Before descaling, turn
off the machine, allow to cool
for at least 1 hour and ensure
the drip tray is empty and fully
inserted. For instructions, refer
to 'Descale (dESc)', page 38.
• Do not attempt to open or
service the espresso machine.
• For any maintenance other than
cleaning, call Breville Consumer
Support or visit a Breville
Authorized Servicer.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance is fitted
with a short power cord to reduce
personal injury or property damage
resulting from pulling, tripping
or becoming entangled with a
longer cord. Longer detachable
power cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care
is exercised. If an extension cord is
used, (1) the marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance,
(2) the cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter-top or table where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally and
(3) the extension cord must include
a 3-prong grounding plug.
• This appliance is recommended
for household use only. Do not
use this appliance for anything
other than its intended use. Do
not use outdoors. Do not use in
moving vehicles or boats.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BES980XL
• It is recommended to plug the
espresso machine into a properly
grounded and dedicated circuit,
separate from other electrical
appliances.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Check bean hopper for presence
of foreign objects before using.
• Use only cold water in the
water tank. Do not use any
other liquids. Do not use highly
filtered, demineralized or
distilled water as this may affect
the taste of the coffee and how
the espresso machine operates.
• Ensure the portafilter is firmly
inserted and secured into the
group head before starting an
extraction. Never remove the
portafilter during the extraction
process.
• Use caution after milk texturing
as the auto purge function will
purge hot steam when the steam
wand is lowered.
