Do not use any other liquid. · Never use the machine without water in it. · Ensure the filter holder is firmly secured when using the machine. · Never remove the filter holder during the brewing operation as the machine is under pressure. Your Breville appliance comes with the unique AssistTM Plug, conveniently designed with a finger hole in the power plug, for easy and safe removal from the outlet. For safety reasons it is recommended you plug your Breville appliance directly into the power outlet. Use in conjunction with a power strip or extension cord is not recommended. ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT Your Espresso Machine has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this appliance without close adult supervision. If you must use a longer cord or an extension cord when using the appliance, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by young children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord if you must use one must be the same or more than the wattage of the appliance (wattage is marked on the underside of the appliance).

At this stage, release button and turn the Steam Dial to the `OFF' position. · After approx 1.5-2 minutes all 3 buttons will illuminate. Your Ikon Espresso Machine is now primed and ready for use. After steaming or when the water tank runs dry, the Ikon Espresso Machine may not pump water through the shower filter. If this happens turn the machine off. Turn the steam dial on the side of the machine towards the 'MAX' position, with the steam wand directed back into drip tray until steam stops. Turn the Machine On and repeat priming procedure as outlined above. 4 6 Pre-warming the cups The cup warming plate will start to warm as the machine heats. Pre-warm the espresso cups by placing them on the cup warming plate. This will help maintain the coffee's optimal temperature when brewed into the cups. That's the ideaTM Step 5 ­ Inserting the Filter Holder The water tank should be filled with fresh cold water before use. Check water level before use and replace the water daily or when water level indicated is below 750 ml. Do not operate if the water level is below 500ml. Do not use mineral water. Step 3 ­ Tamping the coffee · Distribute the coffee evenly and press down firmly with the tamping end of the measuring spoon (Fig 6). If there is too much coffee, the flow of water can become blocked. · Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper seal under the brew head. Note Step 2 - Preparing the coffee · Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and fill with ground espresso coffee (Fig 5). Use the single filter for 1 cup and the double filter for 2 cups. · Use the measuring/tamping spoon provided to measure 1 level measure of espresso coffee for the single filter and 2 level measures for the double filter. It is important to use the correct amount of ground coffee for each filter. 5 · Place the Filter Holder underneath the Brew Head so that the handle is positioned to the left of centre. Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head and rotate to the right until resistance is felt (Fig 7 & 8). Ensure handle is rotated as far as possible to the right to ensure a proper seal. Not rotating the handle sufficiently can result in the filter holder becoming detached during brewing. 7 Step 4 ­ Priming the Brew Head · Before placing the Filter Head into position, it is recommended to run a short flow of water through the Brew Head. · Plug the power cord into a 120V power outlet and switch on. Press the button and the button surround will illuminate. The button will flash on and off while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all 3 buttons will illuminate. · Prime the Brew Head by pressing the button and hold down until water flows from the shower filter. Release the button once the water has run through the Brew Head. A pumping noise will be heard during this operation. Step 1 - Filling the water tank · 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 out of the front of the machine (Fig 4). · When the water tank is removed, a rigid tube rotates and extends out of from the water tank area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it will automatically slide back into place once the water tank is reinserted. · Fill with cold water to the maximum mark and replace back into the machine, pressing firmly so that the water tank clicks into position. 8 8 9 BR7804 BES400XL Book USA.qxp 20/6/06 1:14 PM Page 10 Operating your Breville Ikon Espresso Machine continued Step 6 - Brewing the coffee · The 3 function buttons will illuminate once the machine has reached the correct temperature. · Ensure the drip tray is in place. · Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the filter holder outlet. · Press the button momentarily. · After a few seconds*, aromatic coffee will begin to brew into the cups. A pumping noise will be heard in this operation. Step 7 ­ Emptying the Filter Holder · Remove the Filter Holder from the Brew Head by turning the Filter Holder to the left until it releases. Turn the Filter Holder upside down to empty the used coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Remove the filter by pressing the `Eject' Button on the underside of the Filter Holder (Fig 9). Rinse both the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry. 9 How to froth milk for a cappuccino or latté The Breville Ikon Espresso Machine comes complete with a Froth Enhancer for easier frothing of milk.
