POSSIBLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO
•
Portafilter not
inserted in the
group head
correctly.
•
There are coffee
grounds around the
filter basket rim.
•
Filter basket rim is
wet or underside of
portafilter lugs are
wet. Wet surfaces
reduce the friction
required to hold
the portafilter in
place whilst under
pressure during an
extraction.
•
Clock not set or
clock is set with
incorrect time.
•
A major fault has
occurred and
machine cannot
operate.
•
Using highly
filtered,
demineralized
or distilled water
which is affecting
how the machine
is designed to
function.
•
Machine has not
reached operating
temperature.
•
Water tank is
empty.
•
Water tank not
fully inserted &
locked.
•
Ensure portafilter is rotated to the right until the
handle is past the center and is securely locked in
place. Rotating past the centre will not damage the
silicone seal.
•
Clean excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket
after grinding to ensure a proper seal in group head.
•
Always ensure filter basket and portafilter are dried
thoroughly before filling with coffee, tamping and
inserting into the group head.
•
Check that the clock and Auto Start time have been
programmed correctly.
•
Contact Breville Consumer Support.
•
We recommend using cold, filtered water. We do not
recommend using water with no/low mineral content
such as highly filtered, demineralized or distilled
water. If the problem persists, contact Breville
Consumer Support.
•
Allow time for the machine to reach operating
temperature.
•
Fill tank. Prime the system by:
1) Touching the 'Brew' button to run water through
the group head for 30 seconds.
2) Touching 'Hot Water' to run water through the hot
water outlet for 30 seconds.
•
Push water tank in fully and lock latch closed.
