OPERATING your Breville product

NOTE

When the machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is normal.

Before inserting the Steam Wand into the milk, pause the steam by returning the Selector Control to the center 'Standby' position. Very quickly insert the tip of the Steam Wand ¼-¾" (1-2cm) below the surface of the milk, close to the right hand side of the jug at the

4 o’clock position. Very quickly turn the Selector Control back to the left 'Steam/ Hot Water' position. Pausing the steam avoids the milk splashing out of the jug (this pause function lasts for 5 seconds only).

Keep the tip just under the surface of the milk until the milk is spinning clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).

With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug. This will bring the tip of the Steam Wand to the surface of the milk & start to introduce air into the milk. You may have to gently break the surface of the milk with the tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.

Keep the tip at or slightly below the surface, continuing to maintain the vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient volume is obtained.

Lift the jug to lower the tip beneath the surface, but keep the vortex of milk spinning. The milk is at the correct temperature (140-149°F or 60-65°C) when the jug is hot to touch.

Turn off steam BEFORE taking the tip out of the milk.

Set the jug to one side, immediately turn steam on to purge out any residual milk from the Steam Wand, then wipe the Steam Wand with a damp cloth.

NOTE

Always clean the Steam Wand and Froth Enhancer after every use. Refer to 'Cleaning the Steam Wand & Froth Enhancer', page 21.

Tap the jug on the bench to collapse any bubbles.

Swirl the jug to "polish" and re-integrate the texture.

Pour milk directly into the espresso. The key is to work quickly, before the milk begins to separate.

NOTE

You may hear a vibrating noise and notice water and steam is automatically released into the Drip Tray. This is normal, it is the Auto Purge Function (see page 18).

TIP

If using the Froth Enhancer, do not allow milk to run over the top of the Enhancer otherwise it will not function properly.

REMOVING THE COFFEE PUCK

After texturing the milk, remove the Portafilter from the Group Head. Turn the Portafilter upside down and tap firmly to remove the used coffee puck.

TIP

Due to high water pressure in the Group Head, the used coffee puck will be wet after extraction. For a drier coffee puck, we recommend leaving the Portafilter in the Group Head while texturing milk. Once complete, remove the Portafilter then tap out the used coffee puck.

The Filters are firmly lodged inside the Portafilter to ensure they do not get dislodged when the coffee puck is tapped out of the Portafilter. To remove the Filter, grip the grooves on the Portafilter and lift the Filter out. Alternatively, use the edge of another Filter to leverage the Filter out of the Portafilter.

Rinse the Filter and Portafilter and allow to dry.
