• Turn the machine off at the power outlet and unplug the power cord. • Remove the Filter Holder if locked into the Brew Head and move the Steam Wand to the side of the machine. • Remove the Water Tank by pulling with the handle insert in the front of the Espresso Machine. • When the Water Tank is removed, a black tube slides and extends out from the Water Tank storage area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it will automatically slide back into position when the Water Tank is reinserted. • Fill the Water Tank with cold water to the maximum mark on the Water Window and slide the Water Tank carefully back into position in the machine. NOTE: Check the water level before use and replace the water daily. The water tank should be refilled with fresh cold water before each use. Do not use mineral or distilled water or any other liquid. 13OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST SERIES ESPRESSO MACHINE STEP 2 - PREPARING THE COFFEE • Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the Filter Holder (use the smaller filter for 1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups). • Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee for the 1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup filter. It is important to use the correct amount of coffee for each Filter as the filter perforations have been constructed to utilise the pressure in the machine to extract optimal flavor with each brewing. (Refer to The Grind on Page 21). NOTE: THE FILTERS ARE HELD IN PLACE FIRMLY TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT GET EMPTIED INTO THE TRASH ALONG WITH COFFEE. TIP: REMOVE THE FILTER USING THE INDENTS IN THE SIDE OF THE FILTER HOLDER, IF THIS PROVES DIFFICULT THE 800ESXL COMES WITH 2 FILTERS. USE THE EDGE OF THE FREE FILTER AS A STEP 3 - TAMPING THE COFFEE LEVERAGE AID TO REMOVING • Distribute the coffee evenly in the Filter and THE FILTER THAT IS FITTED. press down lightly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon (Refer to Coffee Making Tips on Page 21). • Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the Filter holder to ensure a proper fit into the Brew Head. 14 OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST SERIES ESPRESSO MACHINE STEP 4 – PRIMING THE BREW HEAD • Before placing the Filter Holder into position, it is recommended to run a short flow of water through the Brew Head. • Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘Standby’ position and plug the power cord into a 110/120V power outlet and switch on. Press the Power On/Off button to ‘On’ and the button surround will illuminate. The Steam button surround will also illuminate. • The machine will make a pumping noise then the Heating Light will illuminate red. When the correct temperature has been reached the light will cycle out. • Place a container under the Brew Head. • Prime the Brew Head by quickly turning the Selector Control to the ‘Espresso’ position until water flows then turn back to the ‘Standby’ position. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. STEP 5 - PRE-WARMING THE CUPS • The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as the machine heats. • Pre-warm the espresso cups by placing on the Cup Warming Plate. This will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature when brewed into the cups. NOTE: The machine remains ready for brewing and maintains a constant heating temperature while the Power On/off button is in the ‘On’ position. If the temperature lowers, the heating light will illuminate and the Thermoblock Heating System will automatically reheat to the correct brewing temperature STEP 6 – INSERTING THE FILTER HOLDER • Place the Filter Holder underneath the Brew Head so that the handle is aligned with the insert graphic. Insert the Filter Holder up into the Brew Head and rotate the handle to the right until resistance is felt, this will be at an approximate 90° angle to the machine. OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DIE CAST SERIES ESPRESSO MACHINE 15 STEP 7 - BREWING THE COFFEE • The red ‘Heating’ light cycles off when the machine has reached the correct temperature for brewing. • Ensure the Drip Tray and Grid are in place. • Place one or two pre-warmed cups beneath the Filter Holder outlet. • Set the Selector Control to the ‘Espresso’ position. • After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will begin to brew into the cups. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. • When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups, set the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’ position. This will stop the flow of coffee. • If the steam function is not required, leave the Selector Control to the ‘Standby’ position, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. PRE-BREW FUNCTION • When the Selector Control is set to the ‘Espresso’ position, the 15 bar pump pumps water momentarily, followed by a pause, then continues to pump the water through to the ground coffee in the Filter Holder. This pre- brew function is an advanced feature of the 800ESXL. The ground coffee is moistened by a small amount of water before full extraction. The ground coffee expands and when greater pressure is built up, the brewed coffee is extracted with its full flavo...
