5 Empty Drip tray
6 Empty water tank
7 Remove water filter
8 Clean water tank
9 Fill water tank with a bit more than 1 L of water. Any more than that is diluting it. Breville instructions say fill to the water line but sounds like dilution
to me. Breville also says fill with cold water whereas back of Breville descaler packet says warm water. Go with warm because dissolving is easier in
warm.
10 Dissolve solution in tank. Note Breville Descaler is made by Cafetto
11 Lock water tank back into machine
