SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BES990
• 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.

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.

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 BES990,
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.

Assembly
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
basket, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish
washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.
TIP
To easily manoeuvre 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 a cup of water for 5 minutes
then rinse under cold running water.
• Wash the filter holder with cold water, taking
specific care to rinse the stainless steel mesh.
Soak filter for 5 minutes Rinse filter & mesh

• 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.

DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralized or
distilled water in this machine. This may affect
the taste of the coffee and how the machine
operates.
