Breville’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
BREVILLE ESPRESSO MACHINE
• Read carefully and save all the
instructions provided with an appliance.
• Do not remove the Portafilter during the
espresso pour or water flow as the unit is
under pressure. Removing the Portafilter
during either of these operations can lead
to a scalding or injury.
• The Steam & Hot Water Wand becomes
very hot during texturing milk and water
flow. This may cause burns in case of
contact, therefore avoid any direct contact
with the wand.
• Always disconnect the plug from the
power outlet prior to cleaning the
espresso machine or if there is any
problem during the coffee making
process.
• Do not place hands directly under the
steam, hot water or espresso pour as this
can lead to a scalding or injury.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces
may be high when the appliance is
operating. Even after use, the heating
element surface is subject to residual
heat after use.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use. Injury could
occur from misuse.
