of a small chip to collect
certain information about
your appliance including

any information regarding
the individuals who use the
product or the household
where the product is used.

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

5
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.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of injury,
do not open the brew
chamber during the
brew 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 20.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 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 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. Filter can be purchased
at Breville webpage.
NOTE
DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralised or
distilled water in this machine. This may affect
the taste of the coffee.
