CARE & CLEANING
REMOvING CALCIUM BUILD-UP
Your coffee machine may experience
build-up from calcium and minerals
contained in your water. This ‘scale’ or
mineral build-up will affect the machine’s
performance and coffee quality. It is critical
that scale build-up be removed. How often
you de-scale will depend on the hardness
of your water and the frequency of use.
For best results, Breville recommends
de-scaling once per month in soft water
environments and more frequently in hard
water environments.
If there is an excessive mineral build-up,
the LCD screen will display ‘DE-SCALE’.
Remove the ‘DE-SCALE’ icon by pressing
the SINGLE CUP and CARAFE button
together, then follow these steps:
1. Empty the Water Tank
• Press the CARAFE button to select the
number of cups of water that remain in
the water tank.
• Press the STRENGTH button and
the and buttons to select the
‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting.
However do not add any coffee to
the coffee basket.
• Ensure the carafe is empty and the lid
is securely locked. Place the carafe into
position under the drip stop outlet.
• Press the START | CANCEL button.
• Once the cycle is complete, discard the
water from the carafe. The water tank is
now empty.
2. De-Scale the Machine
• Pour white vinegar into the water tank
until the LCD screen displays ‘4 CUPS’.
Then pour cold, preferably filtered
water into the water tank until the LCD
screen displays ‘12 CUPS’. There are
now 4 cups of white vinegar and 8 cups
of cold water in the water tank.
• Press the CARAFE button to select
‘12 CUPS’.
• Press the STRENGTH button and
the and buttons to select the
‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting.
However do not add any coffee to the
coffee basket.
• Ensure the carafe is empty and the lid
is securely locked. Place the carafe into
position under the drip stop outlet.
• Press the START | CANCEL button.
• Once the cycle is complete, discard the
water from the carafe. For best results,
repeat this process.
3. Rinse the Machine
Follow the de-scaling process (Step 2) with
two full tanks of water or until the vinegar is
gone. The machine is now ready to use.
TIP
You may choose to use a domestic
de-scaling agent instead of vinegar and
water. Look for one that is designed for
use with drip coffee machines, such as
Durgol Express. Follow the de-scaler
to water proportions on the de-scaler
packaging, however follow the above
procedure.
