OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
FIRST USE
1.
Ensure tank is filled with cold water.
You can do this by either opening the
top-fill water tank lid (push to open), or
by removing the water tank at the back
of the machine.
2.
Press POWER button to turn the
machine on.
3.
The main LCD will display 'Hrd3',
prompting you to set the water
hardness level. Programming this
will determine the regularity of the
'DESCALE' and 'CHANGE FILTER'
alerts.
Setting Water Hardness
• Remove the supplied water hardness
test strip from the wrapper.
• Dip the test strip into a sample
of the water you have filled the
tank with. Wait for one minute.
The water hardness setting is
indicated by the number of red
squares displayed on the test
strip eg. 3 red squares indicates
a water hardness setting of 3.
• Rotate SELECT dial to the required
setting from 'Hrd1' (softest water)
to 'Hrd5' (hardest water). Press
SELECT dial to set. Machine will
beep once to confirm selection.
NOTE
If your water hardness is either 4 or 5
when tested, we strongly recommend
you change to an alternate water source.
Filtered, bottled spring or mineral water
will extend both the life of your built-in
filter and descale intervals as well as
superior taste. Please ensure to test the
water hardness of the alternative water
source you've chosen and input into the
machine accordingly. Avoid using overly
filtered water, like RO water unless some
mineral content is being added back to
the final water. Never use distilled water,
or water with no or low mineral content
as this will affect both the taste the
functioning of your machine.
4.
A pumping/vibrating sound will be
heard indicating empty boilers are
being filled with water for the first
time. The main LCD will display the
current boiler temperature and flash
'HEATING'.
5.
After approximately 5 minutes,
the machine will reach the default
operating temperature 93˚C and all
6 buttons will illuminate. The machine
is now in STANDBY mode, ready for
the next step, 'Flushing The Machine'.
