[. . . ] · Always ensure the Breville Café Venezia Espresso / Cappuccino Machine is properly assembled before connecting to power outlet and operating. · The Breville Café Venezia Espresso / Cappuccino Machine is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system. · Never use the Breville Café Venezia Espresso / Cappuccino Machine without water in the water tank. · Ensure the filter holder is firmly inserted and secured into the brewing head before using the machine. [. . . ] 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 flavour with each brewing. Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of the filter holder to ensure a proper fit into the group head. Priming the Group head Before placing the filter holder into position, it is recommended to run a short flow of water through the group head. Place a container or empty cup under the group head, or allow water to flow straight into the drip tray. With the filter holder removed, prime the group head by turning the `SELECTOR CONTROL' to the "ESPRESSO' function for approximately 5 seconds. A pumping noise will be heard during this operation, and water will run through the group head. 9 8 Operating your Breville Café Venezia Espresso / Cappuccino Machine (continued) Inserting the Filter holder Place the filter holder underneath the group head so that the handle is aligned with the insert graphic. Insert the filter holder up into the group head and rotate the handle to the right until resistance is felt or until it can no longer be rotated. This will be at an approximate 90° angle to the machine. Operating your Breville Café Venezia Espresso / Cappuccino Machine (continued) Emptying the Filter holder Remove the filter holder from the group head by rotating the filter holder to the left until it releases. To empty the used coffee grounds, turn the filter holder upside down in a bin and gently tap out the coffee puck (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Remove the filter by pressing on the `EJECT' button on the underside of the filter holder. Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry. The machine remains ready for brewing and maintains a constant heating temperature as long as the `POWER' switch is left `On'. If the temperature should drop, the red hEaTIng light will illuminate and the machine will automatically heat up to the correct brewing temperature. Brewing Coffee Ensure the `SELECTOR CONTROL' is in the `Standby' position and plug the power cord into a 230/240V power outlet and switch on. The red `HEATING' light will turn off when the machine has reached the correct temperature. As soon as the red `HEATING' light turns off, the machine is heated up. When sufficient coffee has been extracted, set the `SELECTOR CONTROL' to the `STANDBY' position. If you do not need to use the steam function, press the `POWER' button `Off', unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. · For improved results allow the water to be released and to start generating steam before immersing into milk. · Hold the milk frothing jug at an angle so that steam wand and/or the frothing attachment sits just below the surface of the heating milk and the steam will move the milk around the inside of the milk frothing jug in a circular motion. WARNING: ThE METAl PARTS OF ThE FIlTER hOlDER MAY STIll BE VERY hOT. COOl ThESE PARTS IN COlD WATER. how To Texture Milk For A Cappuccino Or latté The Breville Café Venezia Espresso / Cappuccino Machine comes complete with a stainless steel frothing attachment for easier texturing of milk. When using the frothing attachment on the steam wand a large amount of textured milk is easily created. If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour and without the thick créma on the top layer of coffee. Warming Your Cup Or Glass For brewing more coffee immediately after using the steam function, this machine features an auto-purge function. This ensures that ground coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the Thermocoil being too hot. Instead this water is automatically released internally into the drip tray ensuring that the internal thermostat is at optimal temperature for extracting coffee. Your coffee will always be extracted at this optimal temperature ensuring only the best flavoured coffee is achieved. The Right Measurement A single espresso is made with ¼ ounce or 7g of coffee. [. . . ] · Set the `SELECTOR CONTROL' to the `STEAM' position and allow the remaining solution to run through the steam wand. When the solution has run through, set the `SELECTOR CONTROL' back to `STANDBY' position. · After decalcifying, remove the water tank and rinse thoroughly then re-fill with fresh cold water. To rinse the machine, repeat previous steps. Do not use any other decalcifying agents, other than vinegar. Coffee runs out too quickly · Coffee grind is too coarse · Incorrect quantity of coffee in the filter basket · Not firmly tamped Coffee runs too slowly · The water tank is empty or low · Coffee grind is too fine · Machine is blocked by scale build up (see Care and Cleaning) · Too much coffee in the filter basket.
