CARE AND CLEANING YOUR BREVILLE BARISTA EXPRESS (continued)

CLEANING CYCLE PROCESS GUIDE

If cleaning is required, simply follow the steps below and refer to section C in the Cleaning Guide.

1.Use a cleaning tablet.

2.Insert the cleaning disc into the single or double shot filter.

3.Place the filter into the portafilter.

4.Pop 1 cleaning tablet into the filter.

5.Lock the portafilter into the group head.

6.Turn the machine ‘OFF’.

7.Simultaneously press and hold the one cup, two cup and the POWER button for 3 seconds.

8.The cleaning cycle will commence and last for approximately 5 minutes. Once complete, 3 beeps will sound. Remove the portafilter and ensure the tablet has completely dissolved.

If the tablet has not dissolved, repeat steps 5 to 7 until tablet has dissolved. Then rinse the filter and portafilter.

DECALCIFYING

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of espresso.

We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a mixture of white vinegar and water.

Follow the instructions provided, or use the following as a guide:

Diluted solution (for softer water)

ss1 part white vinegar

ss2 parts cold tap water

Concentrated solution (for harder water)

ss1 part white vinegar

ss1 part cold tap water

WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE POWER CORD, POWER PLUG OR APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.

DECALCIFYING THE MACHINE

ssRemove the portafilter and frothing attachment. Pour the mixture of white vinegar and water into the water tank.

ssPlug the machine into the power outlet.

ssPress the POWER button to the ‘On’ position.

ssPlace a large container under the group head and steam wand.

ssWhen the brewing temperature has been reached all the button surrounds on the Control Panel will illuminate. Press and hold

the one cup or two cup button to commence manual pour. Release the button once half the mixture of white vinegar and water has run through the group head.

ssSet the steam dial to the ‘STEAM’ position and allow steam to run through the Steam Wand for approximately 2 minutes. Return the steam dial back to the ‘OFF’ position.

ssAfter decalcifying, remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly then refill with fresh cold water. To rinse the machine, repeat previous steps.
