Care And Cleaning - Breville Ikon BES400XL Instructions D'utilisation

Care and cleaning

Before cleaning, ensure the machine has been turned
off. Switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power
cord and allow the machine to cool.
Cleaning the steam wand and froth enhancer
• The Steam Wand and Froth Enhancer should always
be cleaned immediately after frothing milk. Never
leave Steam Wand immersed in milk. This ensures
the Steam Wand is kept free of milk deposits.
Failure to do this may result in milk being sucked
back into the boiler heating system.
• Remove the Froth Enhancer and rinse under warm
tap water (Fig 10) page 11.
• Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. If the
steam wand becomes blocked, use the pin on the
Cleaning Tool to clear the opening. If the Steam
Wand is not wiped with a damp cloth immediately
after use milk deposits will bake onto the surface
and become harder to remove. If this occurs it is
recommended to soak the Steam Wand before
wiping with a damp cloth.
DO NOT USE a scourer or abrasive cleaner to
clean Steam Wand or housing.
Note
If the Steam Wand remains blocked, the tip of the
Steam Wand can be removed by using the spanner in
the middle of the Cleaning Tool (Fig 12). Soak the tip
in hot water before using the pin on the Cleaning
Tool to unblock (Fig 13).

Replace the tip back onto the Steam Wand and secure
with the Cleaning Tool.
Cleaning the filters, filter holder and
brewing head
• The stainless filters and filter holder should be
rinsed under running water directly after use
to remove all coffee particles. Should the fine
holes in the filters become blocked, the fine pin
on the Cleaning Tool can be used to clear the
holes (Fig 14).
• The brewing head should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove any residual coffee grounds.
• It is advisable to periodically run water through the
machine with the filter holder in place, but without
any coffee to clean out any residual coffee grounds.
Cleaning the shower head
• To eliminate coffee grinds from the shower
head, simply unscrew using the allen key provided
and rinse under hot water. Replace using the allen
key (Fig 15) ensuring the fixing screw is firm but
not over tightened.

Cleaning the housing/cup warming tray
• The outer housing and cup warming tray can
be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use
abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch
the surfaces).
Cleaning the drip tray
• The Drip Tray should be removed, emptied and
cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the
water level indicator is exposed indicating the drip
tray is full (Fig 16).
• Remove the grid and water level indicator from
the drip tray and wash all three parts in warm
water using a non-abrasive washing liquid. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF YOUR IKON ESPRESSO MACHINE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
THE WATER TANK SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED OR COMPLETELY EMPTIED DURING DECALCIFYING.

Cleaning the storage tray
• The Storage Tray can be removed after the Drip Tray
is removed and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do
not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which
can scratch the surface).
Decalcifying
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral build
up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the
machine, and affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular
basis (every 2-3 months) using either a commercial
decalcifying agent formulated specially for boiler
espresso machines, or a mixture of white vinegar
and water.
Do not use powered decalcifying agents.
Note
Use the following as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
• 1 part white vinegar
• 1 part cold tap water
