We design and manufacture appliances with your safety foremost in mind. We also ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

Switch off and unplug from the power outlet. • Regularly inspect the power cord, plug and actual appliance for any damage.
• Do not place anything, other than cups on top of the appliance. • Use caution when operating machine as metal surfaces are liable to get hot during use. • Do not touch hot surfaces. Allow the product to cool down before moving or cleaning any parts. • Heating element surface is subject to residual heat after use. • The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

• Functions Fill the water tank with cold tap water before sliding back into position at the back of the machine and locking into place. FIRST USE INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER • • • Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag. Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes. Wash the filter holder with cold water. • • • • • Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the water tank. Fill the water tank with cold water up to the MAX mark.
EN GENERAL OPERATION Setting the Grind Size The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket and the flavour of the espresso. We recommend you start at setting 8 and adjust as required. • • Attach and twist the dosing funnel onto the portafilter. Insert the portafilter (with the dosing funnel) into the grinding cradle. Setting the Grind Amount Set the GRIND AMOUNT dial to the 3 o’clock position as a starting point.
Trimming the Dose Preset Shot Volume – 1 CUP button The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction. Press the 1 CUP button once to extract a single shot of espresso at the preset volume (approx. 30ml). • • Insert the Razor™ dose trimming tool into the filter basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the basket.
EN Manual Shot Volume Press and hold the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button. The extraction will enter low pressure preinfusion until the button is released. When the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button is released, extraction will continue at full pressure. Press the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button again once the desired volume of espresso has been extracted.

To adjust the water temperature, press one of the following buttons within 5 seconds of entering Advanced Temperature Mode. The machine will beep twice to confirm the change.
ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS Some types of coffee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal extraction or brew. A feature of the Barista Express™ is the ability to extend this range with an adjustable upper burr. We recommend making only one adjustment at a time.
EN Care & Cleaning REPLACING THE WATER FILTER 1 2 Set current month Soak filter for 5 min 3 Ensure parts are connected The provided water filter helps reduce the risk of scale build-up in and on many of the inner functioning components. Replacing the water filter every three months or 40L will reduce the need to descale the machine. The limitation of 40L is based on water hardness level 4. If you are in level 2 area, you can increase this to 60L.
to descale your unit every 90 days when water hardness is at level 4; and when water hardness is at level 6, descale your unit every 60 days. 4. Descale Steam component by turning the steam dial LEFT towards the STEAM icon. WARNING Do not immerse power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid. The water tank should never be removed or completely emptied during descaling. NOTE Do not use bottled water when descaling.
