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.

BES920_USC_IB_R20_FA.indd 4BES920_USC_IB_R20_FA.indd 4 21/5/20 9:40 am21/5/20 9:40 am

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.

BES920_USC_IB_R20_FA.indd 9BES920_USC_IB_R20_FA.indd 9 21/5/20 9:40 am21/5/20 9:40 am

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.
