Breville BES920 Descale Checklist
Time Required: 1.5 hrs
Ensure machine has been turned off and allowed to cool for at least 1 hr - this is very important

Press and hold 1 CUP, then while still pressing, press and hold Power for 3 secs until RSET code appears.

to enter Descale mode. The 1 Cup button will light up.
Place teatowel over driptray to stop escaping steam.
1 Use Flathead screwdriver to SLOWLY open RIGHT side screw counterclockwise until valve is fully open.
- if no water is released into drip tray, press and hold the 1 CUP button for 3 secs to release water
When all water is released, close the RIGHT hand screw clockwise until seated. Do not overtighten.
3 Use Flathead screwdriver to SLOWLY open LEFT side screw counterclockwise until valve is fully open.
- if no water is released into drip tray, press and hold the 1 CUP button for 3 secs to release water
When all water is released, close the LEFT hand screw clockwise until seated. Do not overtighten.
9 Fill water tank with a bit more than 1 L of water. Any more than that is diluting it. Breville instructions say fill to the water line but sounds like dilution to me.
Breville also says fill with cold water whereas back of Breville descaler packet says warm water. Go with warm because dissolving is easier in warm.
Dissolve solution in tank. Note Breville Descaler is made by Cafetto
Lock water tank back into machine
