SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BES880
•It is recommended to plug
the espresso machine into
a properly grounded and
dedicated circuit, separate
from other electrical
appliances.
•Avoid contact with
moving parts.
•Check bean hopper
for presence of foreign
objects before using.
•Use only cold water in
the water tank. Do not
use any other liquids. Do
not use highly filtered,
demineralized or distilled
water as this may affect
the taste of the coffee and
how the espresso machine
operates.
•Ensure the portafilter
is firmly inserted and
secured into the group
head before starting an
extraction. Never remove
the portafilter during the
extraction process.
•Use caution after milk
texturing as the auto
purge function will purge
hot steam when the steam
wand is lowered.
•Caution must be used
during descaling as hot
steam may be released.
Before descaling, turn
off the machine, allow
to cool for at least 1 hour
and ensure the drip tray is
empty and fully inserted.
For instructions, refer
to 'Descale', page 22.
•Do not attempt to open
or service the espresso
machine.
•For any maintenance
other than cleaning,
call Breville Consumer
Support or visit a Breville
Authorized Servicer.

the machine. Filter can be purchased at
Breville webpage.
NOTE
DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralised or
