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)
1 part white vinegar
2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
1 part white vinegar
1 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
Remove the portafilter and frothing
attachment. Pour the mixture of white vinegar
and water into the water tank.
Plug the machine into the power outlet.
Press the POWER button to the 'On' position.
Place a large container under the group head
and steam wand.
When 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
commence manual pour. Release the button
once half the mixture of white vinegar and
water has run through the group head.
Set 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.
After decalcifying, remove the water tank
and rinse thoroughly then refill with fresh cold
water. To rinse the machine, repeat previous
steps.
