NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
REGARDING MEMORY
STORAGE
• Please note that in order to
better serve our customers,
internal memory storage has
been imbedded into your
appliance. This memory
storage consists of a small chip
to collect certain information
about your appliance including
the frequency of use of the
appliance and the manner
in which your appliance
is being used. In the event
your appliance is returned
for service, the information
collected from the chip enables
us to quickly and efficiently
service your appliance. The
information collected also
serves as a valuable resource in
developing future appliances
to better serve the needs of
our consumers. The chip does
not collect any information
regarding the individuals
who use the product or the
household where the product is
used. If you have any questions
regarding the memory
storage chip, please contact us

SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BES920XL
• It is recommended to plug
the espresso machine into
a properly grounded and
dedicated circuit, separate from
other electrical appliances.
• 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.
• 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 (dESc).’
• 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 Service.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of injury, do not
open the brew chamber during
the brew process.
SHORT CORD
INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance is
fitted with a short power cord
to reduce personal injury or
property damage resulting from
pulling, tripping or becoming
entangled with a longer cord.
Longer detachable power cords
or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is
exercised. If an extension cord
is used, (1) the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the
appliance,(2) the cord should
be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter-top or
table where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over
unintentionally and (3) the
extension cord must include a
3-prong grounding plug.
BREVILLE ASSIST™ PLUG
Your Breville appliance comes
with a unique Assist™ Plug,
conveniently designed with a
finger hole to ease removal from
the power outlet.

CSA DUTY CYCLE
MARKING:
The Canadian Standards
Authority requires any
appliances capable of drawing
over 1500W to be marked with
a ‘duty cycle’ in minutes. For
the BES920XL, this ‘duty cycle’
represents the maximum time
for which the appliance will
draw over 1500W during any
2-hour period of use. It does not
indicate the appliance is unsafe
for continuous use or is required
to be switched off at certain
intervals during normal use.
SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
WATER FILTER
• Filter cartridge should be kept
out of reach of children.
• Store filter cartridges in a dry
place in the original packaging.
• Protect cartridges from heat
and direct sunlight.
• Do not use damaged
filter cartridges.
• Do not open filter cartridges.
• If you are absent for a
prolonged period of time,
empty the water tank and
replace the cartridge.

oOperation
BEFORE FIRST USE
Machine Preparation
Remove and discard all labels and packaging
materials attached to your espresso machine.
Ensure you have removed all parts and
accessories before discarding the packaging.
Remove the water tank located at the back of
the machine by pulling down the water tank
handle. Remove the plastic bag containing
the water filter and water filter holder. Clean
parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter,
filter baskets, jug) using warm water and a
gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then
dry thoroughly.
TIP
To easily maneuver your machine, use the
drop-down swivel foot located under the drip
tray. When turned to UNLOCK, the swivel
foot drops down & lifts the machine upwards,
making it easier to access the removable
water tank or reposition the machine to
another location.
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.
• Set the reminder for next month
of replacement. We recommend to
replace the filter after 3 months.
• Insert the filter into the two
parts of the filter holder.
• To install the assembled filter holder into
the water tank, align the base of the filter
holder with the adapter inside the water
tank. Push down to lock into place.
• Fill the water tank with cold water before
sliding back into position at the back of the
machine and locking into place.
NOTE
Replacing the water filter after three months
or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to
descale the machine. Filters can be purchased
at Breville webpage.
NOTE
DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralized or
distilled water in this machine. This may affect
the taste of the coffee.

FIRST USE
1. Ensure tank is filled with cold water.
You can do this by either opening the
top-fill water tank lid (push to open), or
by removing the water tank at the back
of the machine.
2. Check STEAM LEVER and HOT WATER
dial are in the CLOSED position.
3. Press POWER button to turn machine on.
4. The LCD will display ‘Hrd3’, prompting
you to set the water hardness level.
Programming this will determine the
regularity of the ‘NEW FILTER’ alert which
indicates when the water filter in the water
tank needs to be replaced.
Setting Water Hardness
• Remove the supplied water hardness
test strip from the wrapper.
• Dip the test strip into a sample of the water
you have filled the tank with. Wait for one
minute. The water hardness setting is
indicated by the number of red squares
displayed on the test strip e.g. 3 red squares
indicate a water hardness setting of 3.
• Press UP or DOWN arrow to the required
setting from ‘Hrd1’ (softest water) to ‘Hrd5’
(hardest water). Press MENU button to set.
Machine will beep to confirm selection.
NOTE
If there is no selection within 5 minutes, the
machine will default to setting ‘Hrd3’.
5. A pumping/vibrating sound will be heard
indicating empty boilers are being filled
with water for the first time. The LCD will
display the current boiler temperature as it
heats up.
6. After approximately 10 minutes, the
machine will reach the default operating
temperature (200˚F/93˚C) and all 4
buttons will illuminate. The machine is now
in STANDBY mode, ready for the next step,
‘Flushing The Machine’.
POWER
NOTE
You will not be able to select the 1 CUP or 2
CUP functions; access the cleaning cycle in
the menu options; or activate the steam wand
until the machine has reached operating
temperature (STANDBY mode). The machine
will beep 3 times if one of these functions
is selected.
FLUSHING THE MACHINE
When the machine has
reached STANDBY mode:
1. Press 2 CUP button to run water through
the group head for 30 seconds.
2. Rotate HOT WATER dial to the OPEN
position to run water through the hot
water outlet. After 30 seconds, rotate HOT
WATER dial to the CLOSED position.
3. Lift STEAM LEVER to the OPEN position
to release steam through the steam wand.
After 30 seconds, lower the STEAM
LEVER to the CLOSED position.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 twice.
5. Re-fill water tank and empty drip
tray, if required.
