Milk Frothing Wand
1. With a damp cloth, wipe down the
metal on the milk frothing wand.
The end of the steam wand can be
unscrewed for cleaning if required.
2. Fill water tank and place a jug under
the milk frothing wand.
3. Press the steam button, wait for the
indicator light to illuminate solidly
then perform the 'cool down cycle' as
described elsewhere in the manual.
The rubber steam wand cover can be
removed for cleaning if required. Simply
unscrew the end of the steam wand,
and slide the rubber cover off the wand.
It may be advantageous to use water
as a lubricant to help the rubber cover
slide along the length of the shaft.
Emptying the Drip Tray
1. When the drip tray becomes full,
carefully slide the drip tray out from
the Breville Bijou Espresso machine,
remove the drip tray cover, and discard
the water.
2. Place the drip tray cover back on the
drip tray and slide it into the unit.
DESCALING
After continued use, your Breville Bijou
Espresso machine may develop a build-up
of mineral deposits, and therefore require
descaling.
We recommend descaling your unit every
4-6 months, although this period will
depend on the hardness of water and
frequency of use.
IMPORTANT: If the descaling process is
not completed or stopped part way through
any of the descaling steps, then you will
need to start the descaling process again
from the beginning.
Descaling:
1. In an empty water tank, add 2.5
tablespoons of white vinegar. Add 1.5L
of water to the water tank. Allow the
solution to mix thoroughly.
2. Place the water tank into position.
3. Insert either filter into the espresso
portafilter and insert into the Breville
Bijou Espresso machine, without coffee
in it.
4. Place a large jug or bowl on the drip
tray cover.
5. Turn ON the unit and press the brew
button. Wait for the button indicator
light to illuminate solidly.
6. Turn the control dial to the "brew"
position.
7. Water will be dispensed continuously
for 60 seconds, the unit will then
automatically stop dispensing.
8. Turn the control dial back to the
'Standby' position, discard the water.
9. Place a large jug or bowl on the drip
tray and insert steam wand.
10. Ensure the brew button has been
pressed and is illuminating solidly.
11. Move the control dial clockwise to the
steam position.
12. Water will dispense continuously for
60 seconds, the unit will then stop
dispensing.
13. Turn the control dial back to the
'standby' position, discard the water.
14. Rinse the water tank, and espresso
portafilter assembly with warm water
and mild liquid soap.
15. Refill water tank to Max with clean
water and repeat from step 2.
